DescriptionRitually collected from an “Old Believers“ grave in Northern Alberta, the Mother and child who reside here died an unclean death (due to drunk driving and the baby was unbaptised). Being part of the White Russian / Old Believers, they were not welcome to be buried in their communities cemetery. So they are located on the side of my families small graveyard. This dirt can be used in spells if one wishes to do curse, harm, or to force or coerce someone to act in a certain way, one might buy the dirt of someone who “died badly” — before their time, through execution, or so forth, because their spirit, once invoked, would be inclined to perform evil deeds or to seek very strong justice with little compunction.Graveyard Dirt is used in various spiritual and magical practices, infused with symbolism and believed by many to carry the essence of the place it comes from. Commonly used across a variety of magical traditions and practices, and in a number of different ways. According to accounts found in Northern European Black Books, graveyard dust was traditionally collected directly from the grave and, very often, from specific graves. These would include both graves within the confines of the churchyard—such as the graves of young, unmarried women and the graves of soldiers—and without, with evidence of both being used in a wide array of workings. Dirt from the grave of a criminal, for example, would often be collected from outside of the church yard and would often be used in the prevention of physical harm or theft.Traditions that employ graveyard dirt in their workings include (among others) Hoodoo, Appalachian and Southern American folk magic, Traditional Witchcraft, Spirit-Based magic. In African-derived magic such as hoodoo and Obeah, graveyard dirt is an important “magical link”, because of the powerful cultural beliefs centered around the role of the dead in rituals of invocation.Some traditional graveyard spells call for a certain type of graveyard dirt. Such as for murdered person for cursing or a revenge spell, rich man for money spells, child’s grave to conceive a baby, etc. In spells where the intent is to harm or curse someone the Unclean / Unquiet Death type of dirt can be used, the “best” dirt is collected from the grave of a sinner or someone who “died bad,” (criminal, victim of a violent death, drunk driving, unbaptised). Some people like to use dirt from the graves of soldiers for such work, too, because they say that soldiers are brave & follow orders.For a quick and easy curse light a black candle and then deliberately extinguish it by turning it upside down into a saucer of graveyard dirt.4 Dram Bottle
