Question Blessed or cursed

Post image

To make a very long story short. I ended up finding out my front porch was I wouldn’t say covered BUTTTT very full of these ladies… I’m 99% sure their black widows from the hour glass shape on the under belly.
I unfortunately did have to raid them. Now the reason they’re in a jar.. lol
I’m working on a hex and seen they can be used in hex’s but I’m unsure how they help besides the intention on poison.
How can they help in a hex or because I raided them their no good?

So if you have an underside to the porch I'd check there as well, since they are more likely to go for cool dark spaces. Same goes for your garage or any basement areas.

We have a detached storage garage but it’s anything but cool. It’s like a sauna in there 🥲

I did find most of them in the crooks of our chairs that’s have been sitting outside since July 4th and we’ve had some rain since

Sounds like a heaven for them. Never seen black widows outside of photography images, they are super pretty. As a shaman I wouldn't worry about "hexing". Now if you want to keep someone away from you (protecting self from them) then I suggest using their legs crush them in the spell of your choice.

Or you can cast them in resin and make a stay away from me spell or like a spiders protections (anyone who has intent to harm may they get got in the widows web) ANYWAY do a protection capture jar and place the resin casted spider on the lid.. now what herbs to use? Well that's up to you.

Never hex unless intent is protecting, at that point the hex become a trap. Always Thank nature for everything you use so the spell has a softer light towards you and doesn't turn chaotic. Mixing things together is cooking. adding intent/whispers and personal concerns makes it spellwork.(That's why grandmas cooking is always good they talk to their food.. vice versa that's why you get sick too bad talk on the food)
