Lemon Curse for Thieves

writtensecretsonparchment:

At midnight, raise the fire of three black candles.
Bear before their flames, one lemon fruit, green and unripe.
Take several steel pins with black heads and pierce the fruit’s flesh, saying these words:  

On this fruit’s skin,
Black pins I stick.
Thrice is the pain,
I thee inflict.

Once the fruit has been pierced, hold your hand over the fruit and speak:

No peace, no rest,
and no solace find;
Til’ you return
what you stole from mine.

Dig up a hole in the earth and bury the fruit.
