For the most part, I believe that spells can be a valuable way to “act out” your anger, resentment, bitterness, or jealousy. The very act of casting a spell can make a person who feels helpless or victimized feel at least briefly, because in that moment, somehow, they are back in control of the situation. I have found the following “freeze” spells to be quite satisfying, if you find yourself somehow abandoned, oppressed, or just wanting some kind of psychological torture to stop. I’m not entirely sure if these spells or not, but when someone does me wrong, the first thing that comes to mind is the icy inside of my refrigerator.

I love these spells because they fall into the category of cheesy, tow-trash wiccanary spells and because they originate from such an emotional, passionate and ancient style of witchcraft. However, at the same time they are very modern because they make use of the fridge. Also technically, they fall into the category of black magic because they are spells of revenge and represent the desire to control another person.

Being something of a collector and connoisseur of cheesy spells, trailer trash wiccanary, and any ritual that allows you to “act out your feelings” without necessarily hurting anyone, I thought I’d share them with you because they’re some of my favorites. Some of them come from Lexa Rosean, author of Supermarket Sorceress who is a Kitchen Witchery teacher. Still, I think the important thing about a freezing spell is to start with the basics and then make it your own. I know a natural witch, (a famous Canadian singer in fact) who knows nothing about freezing spells, yet every time she gets mad at someone, she writes their name on a piece of paper, twists it, and throws it in the freezer . to “make it stop!” I discovered this one day when he was fumbling in his freezer for some ice cream and a flutter of small pieces of paper fell to the floor. When I asked him about it, he told me that his intuition had told him to put people “on ice.”

The essence of a freezing spell is a matter of time. The idea is to stop something in its tracks. Frieza spells also fall into the category of binding spells, as their purpose is often to paralyze a criminal. They are used for protection, but mainly for REVENGE! Here are some of my favorites.

THE BASIC ICE CUBE TRAY SPELL: This is all-purpose and what I like about it is that you can use magic ingredients to sweeten or sour the mixture before throwing it in the freezer. Basically, you take twelve little pieces of paper and write the names of twelve people or situations that have not been very kind to you or that have annoyed or hurt you. Think of twelve people who have been hostile to you, or who have a bad attitude towards you, or who have behaved as obstacles to what you want in your life or career. Now place these twelve pieces of paper in the compartments of the ice cube tray and add a little sugar or honey to sweeten their attitude towards you.

You can also add a few other things if you like: a little powdered dill or parsley to enhance communication, orange water for cheer, or rose water to boost love vibes. Then the rest of the tray is filled with water and put in the freezer. I like this spell because it is relatively innocent and persuades others to think of you with kindness and not harm you. A more vindictive version of this spell would be to add substances like vinegar (to embitter your experiences), cigarette ashes (to cause depression) or horseradish (to cause arguments).

If your resentment is directed toward a particular individual, perhaps a man who has left you for someone else, you might consider doing this IMPOTENCE spell. While shopping for the cucumber at your local vegetable store, try to find one that looks like your ex’s real member when erect. At the very least, this will make you laugh. Then carve your name and date of birth into the pulp of the cucumber and throw it in the freezer. It will start to soften and wither after a few weeks, and while this is happening, imagine him and the sweet young man who betrayed you having conversations like “I swear this has never happened to me before.” “Okay I understand.”

However, the ultimate freezing spell, in terms of sheer evil, is this BREAK THEM freezer spell in which you write the names of the offending partner on a piece of paper (if you don’t know the name of the person standing in the way middle, write “unknown rival”) You put the pieces of paper in a Tupperware container along with a piece of rotten fish, fill it with water and freeze it. Fish are symbols of fertility and happiness, so the ultimate purpose of this ritual is for the two lovers to get away from each other. One person, who tried this spell, told me that he laughed out loud, when his boyfriend came back and complained that his new lover had a terrible BO. I haven’t tried it myself, but it says it worked. Lexa Rosean also boasts of success with this one.

I can’t guarantee that these spells will work, but if you are too cowardly to carry out a real revenge (like turning the person into the Internal Revenue Service), these little rituals at least satisfy the desire for a “little revenge”.
