I finally came up with a title for my piece: Black Candle.
In researching witchcraft, black magic, and particularly revenge spells, I've found a consistent motif. That's right, the use of Black Candles. It fits well into the scheme of things and what I want to go for, since this is a tale about revenge and whatnot. Below, I have placed two revenge spells I've found that I will be taking inspiration from when I create the black magick ritual scene. The each have their own names too, which is pretty rad.
#1 Tower Spell for Revenge
For this spell you will need the following:
• 3 small boxes the same size
• 3 slips of paper
• A black candle
Light the black candle. On one piece of paper, write your name. On the next, write the name of the person that has wronged you. On the third piece, write what their offense was (just a word or two). Place 1 slip of paper in each of the little boxes.
Put the boxes in pile with your name on top, the purpose in the middle and the other person on the bottom. Set the pile next to the burning candle, and let it burn until it goes out on its own. Leave the boxes sitting until the offender has gotten what they deserve.
#2 In the Dark of Night
Originally, this nightmare spell is part of the selection of real black magic spells from another section. This spell will help bring nightmares to another person. The supplies are:
- One black candle
- Dried mugwort
- Dragon's blood (a resin incense)
- Charcoal tablet
- Heat-proof dish or tile
- Large piece of white paper or fabric
- Black marker
On the paper or material, drawn 3 concentric circles and an x in the middle of the smallest inside circle. Place the dish with a charcoal tablet right on the x, and the candle outside the circles on the left. Light the charcoal and get it burning, put a pinch or two of dried mugwort on it along with a chunk of Dragon's blood. When they are both smoking nicely, light the black candle.
Watch the smoke rising from the dish and picture it floating through space to your intended target. It brings nightmares and fear into their sleep, so picture that scene for several minutes and focus on the person. Repeat their name in your head as you do.
After a few minutes of this concentration, put out the charcoal and switch the dish and candle so the candle is on the x in the center. Leave it until it fully burns down. The person you're targeting will have bad dreams and nightmares starting the next night and it will last for 3 days.

I find the concept of witchcraft, spells, and curses to be so fascinating and how on can actually practice these rituals. Whether or not they actually have an effect on the natural world is another conversation. I hope I don't awaken any demons are bring a thousand years of bad luck to anyone during the making of this film.
