Uncrossing Spells & Workings

Are you feeling crossed up? Jinxed, cursed or hexed? Certain Granny Demdyke down the way threw you the fat eye? Then Uncrossing Spells & Workings are what you need. Uncrossing work refers to the myriad of ways people take off workings of crossed conditions, witchcrafts, evil eye, malochio, curses, jinxes, and hexes. Similarly, Return-To-Sender & Reversal spells seek to send these back to the magician who threw them, Uncrossing seeks to break their effects. Why would you use one over the other? In reality you can use both. Anoint both Reversal Oil and Unrossing Oil on a red and black double-action candle when you feel as if you need to send away crossed conditions to someone. As the old adage goes, however, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”: Use protection formulas such as Fiery Wall of Protection or charms, amulets, and talismans such as Cat Eye Shells or Bat Nut/ Devil Seeds Pods

to combat the forces that seek to defeat you. It is in this author's opinion that we are engaged in a constant spiritual warfare: be it within the self, the world around us, or within a spiritual world, having a toolkit to aid you can set you apart from your peers, and spin fate in your favor. Don’t let the bastards get you down, as they say. 

On Determining If You’re Under Crossed Conditions

Nine of Swords RWS

It can be important to determine if you are under such crossed conditions. I will be the first one to say you can and should practice your own divination, especially before you even think about doing divination professionally. However, determining whether you’re under crossed conditions can be very tricky, especially if the worker who sent the curse meant for paranoia, confusion, and doubt to set in. People who are particularly prone to paranoia can be susceptible to thinking everyone is out to get them. It can be good to make sure you are not susceptible to your biases or, if you are being worked on, not falling prey to a side effect of the curse itself. I highly recommend seeking a professional to determine crossed conditions, whether it's me or any of my associates and peers. My books are open for these types of readings here.

When in doubt, it can be good to determine if you should seek out counsel via divination. Professionals should be able to determine if this is a working sent via a witch, a spirit who has been angered, a bout of bad luck, or even the everyday annoyances of life. Some good indicators that might mean you are under crossed conditions can be bouts of bad luck. Objects such as shrines, statues, amulets, and talismans breaking without cause. Plants that are designated as protectors dying unexpectedly. Bouts of bad luck and bad dreams. Feelings of doubt, paranoia, and uneasiness. If these are coming up, it can be good to consult an oracle at home before moving to a trusted spiritual advisor. It can be helpful to set up a good question to determine, as we can always come back to the question. For example, a good question can be “Am I free of Crossed Conditions?” can reveal a simple answer: for tarot, cards such as the Nine of Swords, Ten of Swords, Three of Swords, Five of Cups, Death, The Tower, The Chariot in reverse, and many others can indicate that something is off. But remember: an oracle by its very nature must give an answer: If you draw a card, a card comes, and should not be a replacement for good quality spiritual counsel. A spiritual worker worth their salt will be honest about what they see: if you are free from crossed conditions, they will tell you, as opposed to trying to sell you something. If you are not free from crossed conditions, they should be able to tell you why they’re coming to that conclusion, and give you tools and resources to help combat this, even if that is telling you to seek out a doctor or mental health professional. 

It can be helpful, however to have the tools necessary to determine problems. For a general rule, anytime you’re experiencing any strange phenomenon, feeling sluggish, or feel as if you need to spiritually cleanse, salt baths weekly can maintain good spiritual hygiene. For more severe crossings, baths of rue, basil, and angelica, or hyssop, mint, and rosemary, mixed with salt can assuage these illnesses. Uncrossing Wash also contains these mineral and botanicals, amongst many others.

On Professional Magic and Being In The Public Eye

If there is one thing I’ve learned in my short time of being public about magic, and doing magic and witchcraft professionally, its that: people will be throwing at you. As one of my teachers has said, “if you do magic publicly, expect it”. Communication with peers, teachers, and elders in your community can be helpful to dispel paranoia, and can be helpful to receive guidance and counsel from an outside source. Regardless, whether you’re professional or not heres some advice I can give you to A) stay out of the way of another magical practitioner's ire, and B) if and when you do have crossed conditions, how to stay calm, coo,l and collected. 

• Don’t give away your travel plans out to strangers or people you dont trust:

It sounds a little paranoid, but your home is a safe space, and when you’re away you are more prone to the afflictions other people, spirits, and places can set on you. Use protection.

• Don’t give everything you got away

You wouldn’t tell people your address, where you work, you bosses name, your coworkers name, the code to your house, where you put your spare key, and whether you keep your back door unlocked or not. So don’t do that with all your spiritual lineages, protections, and more. 

• If you don't want none, don't ask for none:

Avoid conflicts with people whom you don’t need to engage with. Yes, that includes your angry call out Instagram or TikTok. Firstly, no one cares. Secondly, if you didn't change their mind before you made the post, what makes you think you’re gonna change it now? Allow yourself the grace and dignity to just move on (speaking from experience)

• If you think you’re cursed, do not have a public meltdown

You’d be shocked to know how many professional and public workers I’ve seen have mental breakdowns online, thinking someone was out to get them (even if they were). Work in silence: it will serve you better in the long run. 

Uncrossing Baths

Weekly spiritual baths can be helpful to remove the gunk of public eye, jealous coworkers or others around you. Salt can be a powerful ally to remove spiritual pollution. Mix salt and water together in a large basin and mark over it the cross. Pray over it, Psalm 25:

25 Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me. Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause. Shew me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths. Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day. Remember, O Lord, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old. Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O Lord. Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will he teach sinners in the way. The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way. All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. For thy name's sake, O Lord, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great. What man is he that feareth the Lord? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose. His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth. The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant. Mine eyes are ever toward the Lord; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net. Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted. The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses. Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins. Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred. O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee. Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee. Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.

Uncrossing Wash

Use a washcloth, and with the basin of water, wash the uncrossing bath from your head down to your feet. Do this seven times, all while reciting the prayer above. You can also use Uncrossing Wash for this.

If you feel as if you have been crossed in particular aspects of your life, such as someone cursing your relationship, wash where you and your partner sleep, and encourage them to take an uncrossing bath. 

As with much of this work, if you are cleansing out the negative, you should fill it back in with the condition you wish to see. For example, if you do an uncrossing bath, allow the water to dry on you, and then, in a separate basin, mix up Come To Me Love Wash, Money Drawing Wash, Crown of Success, or another wash which suits your needs. 

Using an Asperger For Uncrossing

For stronger uncrossings, the power of herbs can be called upon. This can be helpful when you know you’re being worked on. Below are three plants that work well together in aspergillums

Floridian Aspergilum

This asperger is one I use and can go get it from my backyard:

• Fresh pine sprig, cut once

• Palm frond

• Cedar sprig

Bind all these in red string and recite over them Psalm 25 while sweeping it over the body. Discard the asperger when done. 

A Whisk of Three Herbs

• Rosemary

• Marjoram 

• Hyssop

Three herbs to dispel evil spirits

Another Three Herb Bundle

• Rue

• Basil

• Hyssop

In other cases birds or livestock might be incorporated into these workings such as cleansing a black rooster or white dove over a person, and slaughtering it. Pigs and goats are also sometimes offered for strong curses and for healing magic, but due to these specificites, I’ll choose to not go further with these.

An Uncrossing With An Object of Divination

In cases where divination is performed, and the reading is negative, the object you used to mark the divination can be used to clear off with. In many cases, it isn’t uncommon for professional

Uncrossing Oil

workers to use cheap and inexpensive materials if you’re workings with clients, so you do not get thor contageon exposed to your nice tools which must be cleansed and fed after. For example, If I do geomancy for clients, I will usually use coins, as opposed to my fancy qirra, in case I need to do a cleansing for someone on the spot. I know many card readers who will just take the playing card they work on, and rub it over the client, then throw it into the street (I do the same thing with coins, which is why I tell people to stop picking up coins and cards off the street). If the client is marked as cursed, take the coins or cards and drop some Uncrossing Oil into the palms of your hands, rubbing the coins or cards into them. Drag the card or coins over the clients astral body, from the head to the feet, and then throw them into the street. Anoint the client (or yourself) with Uncrossing Oil, Holy Anointing Oil, or a suitable oil to draw in the desired condition: (Crown of SuccessOil, Money Drawing Oil, Come To Me Love Oil etc.)

A Simple Uncrossing Candle With a White Candle

Cross Candle

With a white candle, and anoint it with Uncrossing Oil. A Cross candle is preferred, or a white Figure Candle  anointed in Uncrossing Oil is preferred but in a pinch, a plain white chavas candle will do. Baptize the candle by inscribing your name into it with a pin. Light the candle and over it recite ove it Psalm 91:

91 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

Allow this candle to burn down and take it to a crossroads. Leave it there and do not look back.
