CHAPTER 7 Curses

These are from an archeology textbook about ancient Christian Ritual Magic. I skipped some because these are my favorites so far. Also I can’t get over the transition from the spells for horny men to the spells about women trying to get rid of the horny men (although I’m a little miffed that they stuffed them all into one chapter when the horny men each got their own individual ones). Honestly though most of the positive things I gain from reading ancient spiritual texts is just the reassurance that humanity hasn’t fundamentally changed. My mother always acted like older times were simpler and purer. No, no they were not.

    Yeah… as my Dad got older he spilled some tea… evidently Grandma had some boyfriends on the side. She tried to get my mom married off to a preacher’s son after calling her names growing up. (Projecting, obviously now)

    There was more, but it’s best summed up with the olds didn’t want the youngs doing what they were doing on the down low. And so it goes…
