Death Curse

Kill papers to take down an enemy...

One of the associates of my magical mentor Earl Marlowe (featured in my Doktor Snake’s Voodoo Spellbook) was a guy called Sherpa Jay, whose specialization was death curses.

Earl didn’t like him much and said of him:

“Sherpa J was one of the nastiest, most dishonorable people you could ever have the misfortune to meet.”

Sherpa Jay worked out of Nevada in the 1970s and specialized in hexing the hell out of people, most notably death curses.

Earl said: “That was because he enjoyed it. He liked bringing misfortune to people.”

Although Earl had a low opinion of Sherpa, it didn’t stop him learning his cursing techniques from him.

Sherpa’s most powerful cursing method for raining misfortune – or worse – on someone was Kill Papers…

The Kill Paper working involves going into visionary trance and entering the etheric plane in your “astral” body. You then travel beyond the far western reaches of the etheric plane, beyond the Black Lodge, to the realm of the Gods of Death.

It is there – in the dark, baleful realm – that you produce your Kill Paper, tracing it with your finger on the shimmering parchment given you by the skeletal shades of the lifeless ones.

Under the auspices of the Gods of Death you charge the Kill Paper with unholy, destructive force. You then bury it in this other plane of reality - having targeted it headlong, like a laser beam, at your enemy.

From there, it will do it’s work. You then await misfortune – or a lot worse – to befall them.

As Earl said:

“The Kill Paper is a nuclear strike of a hex. It will take anybody out. Just a shame the methodology was devised by such a mean spirited bastard like Sherpa J! He got his kicks out of making people suffer. Bottom line is, you don’t want to be like him. Better to keep bad work for when there’s no other choice but to take out your enemy.”
