300 B.C.E. Cursed Magic Jar Shows Antiquity of Magick

 A jar used to curse fifty-five people 2,300 years ago in 300 B.C.E shows how old and common magick and witchcraft are. As far back as one can trace human history, one can find evidence of magick. Perhaps magick is the true so-called "oldest profession" after all.

The magic cursing jar, along with an antique coin, were discovered by archeologists in Athens, Greece. It was found underneath the Agora's Classical Commercial Building, which was used by archaic artisans. Inside were the severed head and mutilated body of an immature chicken. A large iron nail was shoved through the pot as well.


The curse appears to be a binding ritual, most probably associated with a legal case, against fifty-five named people, whose names were written by more than one person. The nail through the dismembered chicken likely symbolized the victims being helpless and incapacitated. The fact it was buried under the building suggests it was meant to harm the craftsmen who worked there.


This remarkably interesting find proves the antiquity of magick and just how natural and instinctual it is to human beings. I believe that psychic powers and even vampirism are also natural and instinctual to many humans as well. That's why I wrote the book Practical Psychic Vampirism which contains practical techniques for a practice that I think is as ancient as the human race itself and comes naturally to people of a certain disposition.
