Thanksgiving is almost here. If you’re anything like me, the thought of family gatherings, forced gratitude, and awkward conversations fills you with dread and dark amusement. Before you dive headfirst into the chaos, why not arm yourself with some really darkly funny spells?
These aren’t your grandma’s warm and fuzzy incantations. No, these are the kind of spells that make you smirk while secretly wishing you had a wand to wave at that one relative who always asks about your life choices.
Get ready to embrace the sarcastic, the sinister, and the downright hilarious with these 10 spells perfect for the Sunday before and on Thanksgiving. Cast wisely.
1. The “Silent Turkey” Charm
Nothing says Thanksgiving like the sound of a turkey gobbling... except when it’s silent. Cast this spell to mute any turkey-related noises in your home. Perfect for those who find the bird’s gobble more annoying than festive.
How to cast:
Whisper “Gobble no more, silence the score” while waving your wand at the nearest turkey or turkey-shaped decoration.
Effect:
The turkey will remain eerily quiet, leaving guests wondering if you’ve just committed poultry sorcery.
2. The “Family Drama Deflector”
Family drama is as traditional as pumpkin pie. This spell creates an invisible shield around you that deflects passive-aggressive comments and unsolicited advice.
How to cast:
Draw a circle with salt around your chair and chant “Words like daggers, bounce and stagger.”
Effect:
Snide remarks and judgmental glances will harmlessly bounce off, leaving you blissfully unbothered.
3. The “Endless Leftovers” Curse
This one’s for the gluttons and the hoarders. Cast this spell on your leftovers, and they will multiply overnight, ensuring you’re stuck eating turkey sandwiches for the next decade.
How to cast:
Place a sprig of rosemary on your leftover container and say, “More and more, forevermore.”
Effect:
Your fridge becomes a never-ending buffet of questionable turkey dishes.
4. The “Awkward Silence Amplifier”
Sometimes, the best way to handle uncomfortable family moments is to make them even more unbearable. This spell amplifies awkward silences to deafening levels.
How to cast:
Snap your fingers and mutter, “Quiet grows loud, silence proud.”
Effect:
Every pause in conversation feels like an eternity, making everyone squirm just a little more.
5. The “Gravy Spill Hex”
For those who enjoy a little chaos, this spell causes gravy to mysteriously spill at the worst possible moments.
How to cast:
Wave your wand over the gravy boat and say, “Slip and slide, no place to hide.”
Effect:
Gravy will find its way onto shirts, carpets, and unsuspecting laps with uncanny precision.
6. The “Pumpkin Pie Vanishing Act”
Pumpkin pie is sacred, but sometimes you just want to watch the chaos unfold when it disappears. This spell makes the pie vanish from the table, only to reappear in the most inconvenient spot.
How to cast:
Point at the pie and whisper, “Gone and found, lost and bound.”
Effect:
The pie will disappear from sight and reappear somewhere like the bathroom sink or the dog’s bed.
7. The “Overenthusiastic Compliment Curse”
This spell forces anyone who tries to compliment you to go overboard with awkward, cringe-worthy praise.
How to cast:
Draw a heart in the air and say, “Praise so loud, it’s not allowed.”
Effect:
Expect compliments like “Your cooking is so good, it could win a Nobel Prize in deliciousness.”
8. The “Turkey Leg Tripwire”
For those who want a little slapstick humor, this spell causes turkey legs to become slippery traps.
How to cast:
Trace a circle around the turkey leg with your finger and say, “Slip and trip, take a dip.”
Effect:
Anyone reaching for the turkey leg might find themselves doing an unexpected dance.
9. The “Gratitude Gag”
This spell forces everyone to say something overly dramatic and insincere about what they’re thankful for, turning the gratitude round into a comedy roast.
How to cast:
Hold a spoon and chant, “Thanks so fake, make them quake.”
Effect:
Prepare for statements like “I’m so grateful for the Wi-Fi that keeps me from talking to you.”
10. The “Black Friday Bewitchment”
Finally, a spell to prepare you for the madness of Black Friday. This one makes you invisible to all shoppers and salespeople for a few hours.
How to cast:
Spin around three times and say, “Gone from sight, out of the fight.”
Effect:
You’ll glide through the mall unnoticed, avoiding the chaos and saving your sanity.
The Dark Side of Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving doesn’t have to be all smiles and forced cheer. Sometimes, a little dark humor and a sprinkle of sarcastic majick make the holiday bearable.
Whether you’re muting turkeys or amplifying awkward silences, these spells offer a wickedly funny way to survive the Sunday before Thanksgiving.
Just a little humor your way, even dark witches need laughter in their life, especially before the holiday and uncle Jack is coming over!
Happy Fun Thanksgiving
