The Seven Stings Hex
This is a hex intended to provide long term irritation and discomfort to the target until they’ve learned a specific lesson.
Materials
- 7 white tealights
- 7 thorns (I use bougainvillia or rose but any will do)
- Vinegar
- Sea salt
- Small bottle
- Needle
- Target’s name on paper
Steps
1. Soak your thorns in vinegar for whatever amount of time you feel you need. I usually leave mine for a few hours
2. Line your seven candles up so that they are next to each other, you can have them in either a row or a circle, whichever you like!
3. Light all your candles and place a thorn in front of each. Picture the energies of each thorn and candle linking to one another.
4. Fold the piece of paper with your targets name so that it has three layers.
5. Needle in one hand and paper in the other, recite the following chant (I like to do another chant more specific to the situation before this one as well). As you speak it, pierce the paper with your needle.
“Mind, body, soul - my hex will take its toll.”
Place the paper and the needle in your bottle for later.
6. Next, repeat the following words. As you say each line, extinguish on of your candles and place its respective thorn into your bottle.
“Seven days of slight unease
Seven nights of restless sleep
Seven dawns of nagging guilt
Seven dusks of bad luck built
Seven days of karma coming
Seven days of endless running
Seven days of all you’ve earned
Until your lesson you have learned
But should the lesson stay unheeded
These seven days shall be repeated”
7. Throw a pinch of salt in the bottle. Meditate with the open bottle for awhile and focus on your intent, allow your energy to flow into it. When you’re ready, seal the bottle. You may use wax for this if you wish.
8. Leave the bottle in a cold, dark place to add to the discomfort. I left mine outside during a storm. Don’t forget to cleanse your space and yourself after performing a hex! Once you feel the bottle has done its work, burn its flammable contents and cleanse everything else.
I like to perform this hex at night on the evening of a new moon, and of course for any hexes or curses a stormy night is always best, however as always your intent is the main ingredient!

SELENITE
Selenite is named after the Greek goddess Selene, which is the goddess of the moon. It’s also called the Satin Spar, Maria Glass, or Desert Rose.
Aside from its beauty and elegance, this stone is known to have many mystical and healing properties.
Selenite is commonly associated with the seventh, or Crown, chakra which is the energy center that is located just above the crown of the head. This is the chakra of divine wisdom, Spirit and Unity. Just as the Root Chakra shows us of our connection with Earth, the Crown Chakra shows us our connection with our spiritual Source. Physically the Crown Chakra governs the brain, nervous system and pituitary gland. For these reasons, selenite is helpful for bringing balance to the Crown Chakra, and help you feel a stronger connection with all of creation.
