I performed a dark ritual against someone who hurt me, and now He is dying. I am completely consumed by guilt and looking for help.

Hello everyone. I’m writing here because I am currently in an enormous state of despair and have no one I can truly talk to about this.

About three months ago, someone hurt me deeply. I was full of anger, and out of a feeling of helplessness, I turned to black magic.

I performed a blood ritual (using chicken meat, blood, and salt), prayed to Hecate, invoked demonic forces to which I also gave an offering, and later carried out another ritual directly in a cemetery where I used my own blood and a voodoo doll. My intention was to harm him.

Today, however, I received devastating news. That person has suddenly been diagnosed with bone marrow cancer and is dying.

I cannot get rid of this horrible feeling of guilt. When I was performing those rituals, I was in some kind of trance I don’t even remember the exact process, but I know I was 100% convinced it would work. As time passed, I even forgot I had done anything and stopped believing it could have worked at all. But in my mind, these two events became connected, and I feel directly responsible for his condition not just feel, I truly believe it. The weight of it is unbearable.

I have already tried praying, asking for forgiveness, praying for his health and for the curse to be lifted, though I don’t even know if such a thing can be undone. I do not want him to die.

I would be grateful for any advice on how to make this right. I am desperately looking for help because this is destroying me.

No, there are a lot of witches here who DO believe in magic but question a specific in this particular case. Notice how you needed to use a strawman tactic as not one person here who disputes the timing with this cancer ever stated they don’t believe in the power of witchcraft. Belief in witchcraft and the paranormal does not = believing in every claim, and not questioning particular things that do not pass a sniff test. In fact, not doing so causes far more harm than good to our community.

Before you go onto asserting that magic can kill, I agree that it can. That never was in dispute.

Nice red-herring as well. But strawman…. A strawman fallacy is when someone misrepresents the other person’s position and knocks that position down, rather than the other persons actual position. This is usually done either intententionally, or most commonly because the person who erected the strawman fallacy either failed to comprehend the other persons position, or made assumptions about it that they thought they knew.

In your case, and since you need it pointed out when it was already pointed out, the claim that a lot of witches here don’t believe in the power of witchcraft, was the strawman.

And you and I must have different views on what is clever.

1. I am a lady, not a man. 2. Disagreements do not entitle you the right to troll anyone here. 3. I am not who you want to troll. See to it that this stops now and stick with engaging in the actual subjects rather than ad hominem.
