On Incubi: The Demonic Incubus in Folklore and Practice

It is of note, as we begin, that Incubus Syndrome is currently a known medical term, and is “considered as a secondary type of erotomania,” according to Dr. D. Felex Maree Angelo; “This phenomenon is found to be more common in females. The male to female ratio based on existing literature is 1:5.” In modern day folklore, the incubus is usually associated with stories of sexy demons (or at least, sexually motivated demons). That's generally what people mean when they talk about an incubus now: “A demon assuming human physical dimensions, and sexually cohabiting with a woman,” as Bob Larsen the modern evangelist defines them. Sometimes folks talk about them just in a traditional mythology sense, but other times people insist they've experienced them in some form – Larsen himself claims to have dealt with “hundreds” of them, and one can find people on YouTube today recounting their experiences with them.  What is the actual history of the incubus? Like most mythology, it has vari...

Five-Finger Grass: Four Different Plants, One Name, and Why Your Witchcraft Supplier Won't Tell You Which

Walk into any spiritual supply shop that stocks dried herbs and ask for five-finger grass. You'll get a bag of something green and dried. Walk into three different shops, you might get three different plants. Ask what it actually is and you'll get answers ranging from "it's got five leaves" to "it's for protection" to a shrug and "it's what my supplier sends." The identification mess around five-finger grass illustrates a broader problem in rootwork: common names are folklore, not botany, and sometimes the folklore doesn't even agree with itself. The most common candidate sold as five-finger grass is Potentilla species: cinquefoils. The Latin name gives it away: potentilla means "little powerful one," and cinquefoil derives from the French cinq feuilles , five leaves. Most cinquefoils have palmately compound leaves divided into five leaflets, which makes the connection to "five-finger grass" obvious enough th...

Were You Cursed With a Voodoo Doll? Here's What to Do About It.

  So-called "Voodoo dolls" are the the most iconic "evil witchcraft" in pop culture. If you see those in a movie you just know a character is up to no good.  A whole post about this sort of witchcraft already exists here .  This post today deals in quite another topic -- namely, what to do if you are the victim of a Voodoo doll. With most magic spells, even if the enchantment was effective, the spell would have to be performed anew to redo its influence once the victim is uncrossed. Ways to achieve this include spirtual uncrossing baths , using a witch bottle , or multi-step curse removing rituals. But, if a practitioner is keeping a voodoo doll of their victim, the doll might easily be re-worked time and again, for as long as the practitioner has it and is interested. This makes it difficult for the victim to fully free themselves of the influence. The answer to such a conundrum is to fight fire with fire and make your very own uncrossing voodoo doll. This met...
