Every since I found out the lyrics are actually “he looks up grinning like a devil” and that they refer to Taylor being completely exasperated by his lack of response after yelling that she’s completely in love with him, and he’s simply GRINNING AND SMUG ABOUT IT, I’ve since been screaming the line and wildly throwing my arms to gesture at an invisible person in the corner to show that I too AM REACHING A NEW LEVEL OF FRUSTRATION
forgive me father for sometimes i just say things
“You Cannot Touch Her” Curse/Binding
This curse is particularly for people who have done harm in the past, and as such already known to be a potential threat. The idea is to keep the person from speaking to or approaching the one you’re trying to protect, and to make them feel watched and judged for their past actions.
You will need the following:
A jar big enough to hold a poppet
Some kind of poppet - I used a wooden one with the offender’s name written on the bottom. A photo could also be used
White out
A black candle
A mixture of black salt & cayenne pepper
A sigil of your own design meaning “You cannot touch [name or pronoun]”
A permanent marker
Light the candle and white out the mouth of your poppet. Roll the poppet in the mixture of black salt and cayenne pepper (black salt tends to stain so keep this in mind). Place it in the jar and seal the lid, leaving the poppet inside under the gaze of dozens of eyes. Write your sigil on the lid. During or after all of this, say the following aloud or think it to yourself (change pronouns accordingly):
You cannot touch her. You cannot speak to her. Think of her and bring this curse upon you. May your tongue catch in your throat if you dare to reach her. May you burn and ache if you come near. May you feel eyes upon your back each time you think her name. They’re watching. I’m watching. May you forever question the gaze of others - Do they know the things you’ve done? I do. I curse you. I bind you. You cannot touch her.
Stash the jar in a dark place, like a closet or a cabinet (I don’t recommend burying jars). Let the candle burn until it extinguishes itself.
i swear some of y’all live in an alternate dimension. it’s actually white MEN more than anyone else who needs to be putting themselves in between everyone else and police because police will toss a white woman like a twig cops literally beat women as a fucking hobby. remember white men? can we start addressing them as a class
Completely peaceful and love filled protest, continue the fight for black lives
