Black magic and Wicca are a bit of an odd mix, which you shouldn’t confuse with black magic and witchcraft. Remember that Wicca and witchcraft aren’t precisely the same thing and shouldn’t be treated like the same kind of path or practice. A simple path of witchcraft can definitely be either white or black, and either one is open to you. However, Wicca is a more complete spiritual path with its ethical limitations. That’s where problems with black magic can come up.
Of course, there are many different branches or traditions of Wicca, and not everyone follows the same ethical roadmap. But basically, the overall belief tends to lean towards “harm none,” which can conflict with the nature of black magic. How you interpret “harm” can also be a big part of it. You may also follow the Rule of Three, where your actions can return to you three times. In this case, you may consider doing black magic and accept any future consequences.
Basically, Wicca has ethical restrictions, whereas non-religious witchcraft does not. If you want to stick with the usual Wiccan ethics, stick to the less harmful types of spells like banishings, bindings, or other forms of protection magick. These spells can help keep people away from you but are not considered harmful to them.
If you are going ahead with more potent black magic, you can try curses, revenge spells, or even black magic love spells. Even if you don’t feel that black magic and Wicca go together, sometimes circumstances can be unique and may call for stronger measures than usual. On that note, I’ll leave you with one spell to get you going. Check out the links above for more.
Pepper Pentacle
This general spell causes bad luck or misfortune to fall on someone. All you need is:
- A white piece of paper
- Black pepper
- Pen
- Black candle
Draw a reasonably large pentacle on the paper. Write your target’s name in the center. Carefully sprinkle a fine line of pepper around the outline of the pentacle. Once done, let the candle burn for a few minutes to melt the wax.
Hold the candle over the pentacle and let several drops of wax fall on the person’s name. Ideally, enough to cover the words. Then, let the candle burn for an hour before putting it out. Leave your pepper sigil where it won’t be disturbed until your spell has its effect.
