Coconut Palo Curse to Torture an Enemy

This spell combines together rootworking elements with some elements from the Afro-Cuban religions of Palo and Lukumí to curse an enemy, torture their mind, make them lose sleep, endure headaches, and drive themselves to the brink of madness. It is important to note that a person cannot do this spell unless they are a priest or priestess in Palo or Lukumí.

The trick to this spell is the spiritual significance of the coconut. In Palo and Lukumí, the coconut represents a person's head. Consequently, coconuts can be used to affect a person's mind either to heal or to curse with great effect. In this instance, the coconut is being used to curse the mind of a man who has acted in a predatory manner against one of my clients, harassing her, dragging her family and her job into it and putting her livelihood at risk. I won't go into details but trust me, this man deserved it.

Preparing the Coconut for the Curse

In preparation, the coconut is drilled open through two of the eyes, and all of the coconut water is allowed to drain out. Into the coconut is placed the enemy's name written on a brown piece of paper, his hair and a sample of his dried semen to hit both his mind and his sexual nature and utterly cripple them. (The man was known for fathering children with many women and then not taking responsibility for them.) The coconut is then prayed over and conjured to energetically tie it directly to his physical body. It is now more than just a coconut - it is his actual head.

Filling the Coconut with Cursing Curios

Then a series of cursing elements are added to the coconut. I like to start with mineral-based cursing items: sulfur (to damn him to hell), black salt (to curse everything good in his life) and graveyard dirt that has been purchased from the grave of a soldier (to haunt his mind and disrupt his sleep).

Next, I add the curios: red ants (to make his mind wander and his thoughts derail), snake sheds (to poison his body), 9 pins (to curse him with stabbing pain).

Thirdly, I add the herbal cursing elements: Vandal root (to cross), brown mustard seeds (to cause confusion), cayenne pepper (to burn his mind and cause anger / upheaval), ceiba sticks (a palo herb used for powerful magic to either curse or cure), guinea peppers (to cause chaos and explosive energy).

Sealing and Painting the Coconut

Then the coconut is sealed shut by dripping wax from a black candle around the holes until they seal up. The coconut is then painted with a palo "trazo" (symbol) that acts as a cosmogram of confusion and misdirection - to afflict his mind and drive him nuts. Trazos are not "fixed" symbols, they are inspired within the priest by his guides and each is unique and applicable to that person and instance. Copy-catting the symbol I've used will not work. It has to be inspired and channeled in the moment.

Finally, I took a triangle of black cloth and using chalk, drew another "trazo" that indicates confusion and haunting inside the mind with dark spirits. The coconut was then wrapped up in the cloth and the three ends were braided together. The coconut is then hanged outside from a tree where it will stay. (Final product is shown in the first photo at the top.)

Torturing Your Enemy

Every day, I go outside and beat that coconut with a stick to cause the enemy furious headaches, confusion, rattling up his thoughts and causing him mental torture. I can time the beatings for deep in the night as well to wake him up from any sleep he might be getting.

I finish off by taking an Uncrossing bath to get all that mess off of me.

Sow the Seeds of Discord with Inflammatory Confusion Products

... the art of using troops is this: When ten to the enemy's one, surround him; When five times his strength, attack him; if double his strength, divide him...

The Art of War, Sun Tzu

One of the best tactics when doing enemy work is to separate them from his supporters. This is a great approach when dealing with court case issues where family is supporting your enemy, or where friends are their critical witnesses. Another good case for the "divide and conquer" strategy is when facing a whole slew of gossiping people, or a small crew of people who are working roots against you.

What's the best way to divide them up and turn them against one another? Inflammatory confusion work! Inflammatory confusion works not only to befuddle and confuse your enemies but drives them to the point of anger, arguments and flat out fighting with one another. Viper turns against viper and the whole nest ends up poisoned. It's a drastic strategy but an effective one. Here are some inflammatory confusion spells that you might be able to use to your benefit.

NOTE: Make sure to cleanse yourself with Uncrossing Herb Bath after using any Inflammatory Confusion products so you don't track that chaotic energy into your personal life.

Inflammatory Confusion Candle Spell

This is a pretty straight forward candle spell, but it uses pins to stab at your enemy's thoughts. You'll need a black skull candle (to get inside your enemy's head), and a box of pins.

your enemy's name on the back of the candle and the words "Inflammatory Confusion" on the forehead of the candle. Set it aside. Then get a photo of your enemy, write their name 9 times stacked on the back of it, turn it 1/4 turn counter-clockwise and cross their name with "Confused Arguing and Fighting" stacked nine times. Dress the four corners and the center of the photo with Inflammatory Confusion Oil. Fold the photo away from you in half, turn it 1/4 turn counter-clockwise and fold it in half away from you again. Repeat this one last time for a total of three folds.

Place the photo under a plate. Dress the black skull candle with Inflammatory Confusion Oil by stroking the oil in erratic swirling patterns all over it. As you do so, state your enemy's name aloud and say "Confused are your thoughts! Befuddled your words! Your temper is flaring and your blood-pressure rises! You can't take it any more and you lash out in ferocious anger at everyone around you making a God-damned fool of yourself for all to see!" Now dust the candle with Inflammatory Confusion Powder praying something similar in your own words. Place the candle on the plate.

Now, light the candle and one by one, take the pins from the box and heat them over the candle's flame, then stick them into the skull candle. As you do so, curse your enemy out loud. Say horrendous things about them, call out their insecurities, command them to lose their temper and scream and fight with others. Do so until the entire box of pins is in the skull candle. Make sure to stick one in each eye to warp their vision of the world, one in each ear to distort what they hear, and several in the mouth to twist up their words.

Burn the candle all the way down, then dispose of the remains in a hole in a tree so that your enemy cannot track down who did the working to them. If you want to be a bit more "fair" in your rootwork, you can couch everything you did above with the statements "UNTIL YOU DO RIGHT BY ME!" so that the enemy has a chance for redemption.

Chaos and Confusion Bottle Spell

This is a great bottle spell to cause a group of people to break their friendships and turn their backs on one another. A perfect application would be a if a group of people are ganging up on you constantly at work. Another situation where I used this spell was to get a group of family members to stop covering up for a person's crimes, and to turn him in to the police.

You'll need:

• A glass jar with a metal lid
• Personal concerns for every targeted enemy (you can use photos, but hair gives the best result)
• A cork
• 9 needles
• Inflammatory Confusion Powder
• Inflammatory Confusion Oil
• A red candle
• 9 dried red chili peppers
• 1 packet of Uncrossing Herb Bath

Take each person's concerns and add them to the glass jar. Then add in an entire packet of Inflammatory Confusion Powder. Add in the chili peppers. Now take the 9 needles and very carefully insert them into a cork so their points stick out the other end. Toss this cork into the jar as well. (An effective alternative at this point is to fill the jar with vinegar if you want to sour their relationships, but it's not really necessary and it can get messy. BUT IT'S EFFECTIVE!) Cap the jar, and start shaking it up (swirl it if it's filled with vinegar) and as you do so, the needles will poke all of the people inside and cause them to get irritated and angry with one another and break out in fights. As you shake the jar, curse those who are in it.

Set the jar down. Take your red candle and carve "Angry and Confused Arguments" on it. Dress it with Inflammatory Confusion Oil by stroking the oil on away from you. Melt the bottom of the candle a bit and stick it to the top of the jar, then light it and let it burn all the way down. Every day for 3 weeks, shake up the jar, cursing all those inside of it. I burn down red candles on the jar every 3 days or so.

The enemies will bicker with one another, then argue, then fight, turn their backs on one another and break up their friendships and part ways. Once your spell has been accomplished, take the jar, unscrew the lid and toss it into a river that is flowing out of town to wash these people out of your life, out of town and away to another place. Again, if you want to leave a chance for redemption for those involved, as you curse you can add the disclaimer "UNTIL YOU DO RIGHT BY ME AND CHANGE YOUR WAYS, THEN THIS CURSE SHALL BE LIFTED FROM YOU!"

Remember to do your Uncrossing Bath afterward to cleanse the chaos of these products off of your body.
