Gravewater

“If it doesn’t rot, wither, or silence someone’s spirit—don’t waste my damn time.”

Witch’s Rot: Crafting Grave Water to Weaken, Wither, and Strip Away

No light. No healing. Just the cold silence of the grave in liquid form.

Let them keep their rose petals and “release with love” nonsense. This isn’t that. Grave water is not a potion. It’s not safe. It’s not sweet. And it sure as hell isn’t something you drink. This is a dark witch’s brew for eroding protection, souring influence, and severing spiritual ties—slowly, silently, and thoroughly.

We’re not poisoning the body. We’re targeting the soul.

What Is Grave Water?

Grave water is fermented decay, bottled in silence. It’s created with water collected near or on a grave, then steeped in the essence of stillness, grief, and shadow. Rot, ruin, and wicked intent.

It’s used in dark majick workings to:

• Break spiritual protection

• Drain influence and charm

• Introduce despair or emotional heaviness

• Sever energetic links

• Drive away spirits

• Weaken ritual defenses

What You’ll Need:

• Rainwater collected from a graveyard (preferably from a puddle or runoff—never disturb the grave directly)

• 1 spoon of graveyard dirt (gathered from the foot of the grave)

• Moldy herb (choose rosemary, sage, or thyme aged in vinegar—let it go black and soft)

• Black thread

• Black salt

• A few nail clippings or dried leaves

• 3 drops of vinegar

• A small glass jar with a lid

• A scrap of black or gray cloth

A Note on Nail Clippings:

If this spell targets a specific person, use their nail clippings if you can—hair works too. This adds a direct, personal link to the rot. If you don’t have theirs, you may use your own as a proxy, but speak aloud before placing them into the jar:

“These stand in your place, until your essence is mine.”

No clippings? Use dried leaves or their name written in black ink—intent rules here, not DNA.

Ritual to Create Grave Water

Step 1: Thread the Binding

Wrap the black thread around your jar slowly and deliberately. Each loop is a layering of shadow and intent. Whisper:

“Circle of silence, seal of the grave, Power of rot, it’s silence I crave.”

Step 2: Build the Rot

Into the jar, place the grave dirt, the moldy herb, and your chosen link (clippings, leaves, or name paper).Sprinkle in a pinch of black salt.

Drop in 3 drops of vinegar. Then pour the graveyard rainwater over the mixture, watching it swirl and cloud.

Speak:

“This is not life. This is not light.This is stillness, cold and tight.”

Step 3: Seal and Store

Cover the lid with the cloth, tie it shut, and place the jar somewhere dark, dry, and undisturbed for 13 nights.

Each night, pick up the jar. Whisper your intent to it. Tell it what you want it to do. Feed it your will.

How to Use Grave Water

• Drop a few drips at a target’s doorstep to invite despair or break protections

• Mark a paper with their name using grave water before cursing or burning it

• Add to a jar spell (no dolls) to corrode charm or cause influence to wither

• Wipe your black mirror with a cloth dampened in grave water to enhance shadow vision and destroy glamour

• Pour in a hidden place to banish spirits, ghosts, or lingering bindings

Spell: “Decay by Drop”

For spiritually corroding someone’s defenses and unmasking the protected.

You’ll Need:

• Their name written in black ink on torn paper

• Grave water

• A black chime candle

• A rusty nail

The Working

Light the black candle and place the name paper on a fireproof dish. Drop one drop of grave water onto the name. Press the rusty nail into the paper.

Speak clearly:

“From soil to rot, from silence deep,I call the grave, disturb their sleep. Let false protection crack and slide, Let no spirit stand at their side. From shadow's hand, I now invoke—With this water, the veil is broke.”

Burn the paper or bury it at the base of a dying tree.
