Casting an actual "hex" on a man, or "hoo-dooing" him as some prefer to put it, takes a lot of time, work, and precision. Most of the time, you don't really have to bother with all of that. I suppose I might be called a lazy witch (or bitch, if you prefer) by some. I consider myself an efficent user of resources.
Men are always afraid of "weird" things. Most of those with Xtian backgrounds have the notion that all women have "witch-like" capabilities. With most such men, all you have to do to exact revenge upon them for some wrong is let them know you are a "witch" and that you are angry with them. They will automatically give you credit for any unfortunate thing, large or small, that happens to them. If they drop a box of paperclips, they will blame your "witchcraft" for it. If they have some mysterious stomach ache, they will blame you for it. All of those little misfortunes that happen every day will suddenly be the result of your "hex" in their little pea-sized brains.
Implanting the idea early in the relationship that you might "hex" a man if he does you wrong is a good idea. Implant the idea in a joking fashion when he steps out of line just a tad. Ask him if maybe he would like a nice puffer fish stew sometime. Or maybe a nice jimson weed salad with a creamy aspergillus dressing? When he is really behaving badly, leave a handwritten recipe for "Ex-Lax Pie or "Sand Spice Cake" where he is sure to find it, but not in a place where it is obvious. When he asks you about these things, simply laugh and say you are joking. At first, he will believe you are joking, but the more he misbehaves and the angrier you become, the more he will come to believe that maybe you are not joking.
When a man really deserves to be hexed and you would rather not waste the time or energy actually doing it, a good way to scare him into believing he is about to be "hoo-dooed" is to send him a boquet of black flowers. Lillies or carnations, which are commonly found in funeral boquets, are the best to send. Any florist can dye white flowers black, so finding them shouldn't be a problem. DO NOT SEND BLACK ROSES! That means something entirely different. (Those of you who have understanding will reckon the meaning.)
One way to convince a man you mean business is to put a little bit of baking soda or flour in his beverage. If he comments on its appearance, simply explain that you must have accidently gotten baking soda or flour in his beverage and offer to bring him another. Most men will decide to get up and get their own or to go to the neighborhood bar or diner for their beverage. If a man is convinced you are a witch, he won't believe that it is really baking soda or flour. Again, you have credit for "evil works" that you did not actually perform.
Another thing I like to do is mumble strange unintelligible words when I am pretending to be asleep and I know he is awake. I always inject his name in the mumbo-jumbo somewhere.
I never kept a boyfriend for very long. Hardy har har!
