Lunar Lunacy: The Dark History of the Curse of the Moon

By admin

The Curse of the Moon is a well-known phenomenon that has fascinated humans for centuries. It is a belief that the full moon brings bad luck, misfortune, and strange occurrences. This superstitious belief has been passed down through generations and has become deeply ingrained in various cultures around the world. One of the most popular beliefs associated with the Curse of the Moon is that it affects human behavior. Many people claim that during a full moon, humans become more aggressive, moody, and prone to accidents. Some even argue that crime rates increase during this lunar phase.


It was believed that loud sounds, like those from bells or chimes, would scare off ghosts and demonic entities. Not just the iron from which the bells are made has a cleansing, protective effect, it is also the purifying sound waves, ringing through the air that ward off the evil.

Quite often, these bells were found hanging from the huge, erect phallus, of a male figure, which at the time, it was believed to magically ward off the evil eye.

Create your bells by tying the bells with a ribbon to your skeleton key or ring. Feel free to embellish the bells with your own personal touches using feathers, beads, or anything else that feels like you and your personal craft.

Once you have created the bells, take your bowl, and fill it with black salt (enough to bury the bells).

Bury the bells in the salt. Next, take your white salt and use it to sprinkle around the bowl creating a circle. As you do this recite the following:

By Wild Moon and night I call

Invoke protection for these bells

That banished ill intent by all

Who cross the threshold where I dwell

Dark Mother cast a ward upon

These bells that guard our home and hearth

And negative energy be gone

A shield is forged in three days forth

Now place a drop of your own saliva into the bowl on the black salt as you recite:

And with my offering binding tight

This fetish to enforce my plea

Exile misfortune and all plight

By Moon and Mother - So Mote it Be!

Leave the bowl under the full moon for three days. When you remove the bells, they will be charged with protection. Place them on your front door to ward off any negative energy. Take the left-over salt and sprinkle it over your doorstep and the front of your house. You can also place a pinch at the corners of your home for added protection.
