Things in Ephesia Grammata that I've seen Melinoë say during cauldron incantations:

Kataskion Aski Κατασκιον Ασκι

Askion Kataski Ασκιον Κατασκι

Damname Aision Δαμναμε Αισιον

Damnaski Traxion (Tetraxion?) Δαμνασκι Τραξιον (Τετραξιον?)

Curses in Greco-Roman Magic

Curse Tablets

Curse tablets were made from a sheet of metal, lead or wax. A basic curse tablet would have the name of the victim and an inscription of the curse. Many had images of the people on them. Incantations must be spoken or sung aloud while the tablet is being created.

Some curse tablets were made for people who had committed specific wrongs, like theft. These curses often petitioned the Gods and spoke of the damnation and death of the victim and their family. These tablets often petitioned Hecate, Persephone, Hermes and Hades.

Another type of curse tablet was against those who were your competition. For example, you might want to bind the feet of a runner so you can win the race. These curses were less intense and less likely to petition the Gods.

Another type of curse tablet was one that sought justice for ills done against the Gods. For example, it might petition Hera to punish someone who spoke poorly of her.

One type of curse tablet was specifically for future wrongs, such as breaking an oath or disturbing a grave. These curse tablets were public and in plain sight. They listed the ills that would befall you if you performed the actions specified in the tablet.

The final type of curse tablet was used in court. This type of tablet aimed to bind the tongue of the opposition so they would stumble in court when presenting their case. These tablets often petitioned Athena.

The curse tablet was then often rolled up and pierced with a nail and buried at crossroads, in a graveyard or in a spring or nymphaea.

The spirits of the restless dead (daimones) could also be petitioned to carry out curses. These were souls who had died young, violently or unmarried. They were also those who hadn’t been buried.

Many curse tablets include phrases that would not have made sense, but had magical power due to syllable variations, rhyming or being palindromes. One famous example is the phrase called the ephesia grammata: “ASKI KATASKI LIX TETRAX DAMNAMENEUS AISION”. Some of the words can be translated to have meaning, but only so far as the words hocus pocus come from butchered Latin meaning “this is my body”.

I will be putting up templates for curse tablets on my patreon, based on the way the ancients wrote their curses. If you’re interested, it’s only five dollars a month :)

Wax Dolls

Wax dolls were used to bind your enemies or to curse those who broke paths and rules. Wax dolls would sometimes be stuck with pins, bound with twine or melted over a flame depending on the curse being inflicted on the person. For binding a person, for example, the doll would be bound with twine. To have them waste away, the doll would be burned.

These dolls were often buried at cross roads in little coffins.

Evil Eye

The evil eye was as simple as an envious or jealous glance at a person. This jealousy cast bad luck onto the person who received the eye. Ancient ways of guarding against it included eye symbols, like we see today, but also phallic amulets and obscene hand gestures to distract the eye away from the person’s face.

Aski Kataski A/W05 ‘Lonely in the Forest’ Collection Via Fudge Magazine Aug. 2005 Vol. 26 “All of the clothes are handmade with love using natural materials.” Why do you stick to old things? “I think it's because of the memories that the objects have. I am very attracted to things that have memories of how they were used in the past, or how they were damaged in the past. I want to cherish the warmth that old things have and the time they have spent. The charm that old things have cannot be reproduced even if you try to imitate it by processing it with new things.” X
