It’s 2018, But You Can Still Walk Into A Maltese Shop And Buy A Curse Starter Pack

It’s Friday the 13th, and you know what that means; time to bring out the stories of haunted houses and creepy curses. But beyond those stories, lie places where these things, even in Malta, are still very real.

Some people in this country prey on others’ wishes for revenge to get something they want out of them. In most cases, this want is usually a financial one. In Malta, we can see a couple of instances of this happening.

There’s a local shop (which was previously an online presence) supplying people with what you might need to place a magħmul on someone, and a local person which even provides this service for a very, very hefty price. 

The shop is disguised as a quirky bohemian hippy place which sells jewellery, incense, drapes, cushion covers, teas and fair-trade chocolate. 

It looks friendly enough, especially with it being in an urban and well-populated area. The intoxicating smell of incense which grabs your attention from two doors away really makes you want to walk in and have a peak at all of those pretty things hanging from the ceiling. 

If asked nicely, the sales person can also provide supplies for more sinister things, among which are powders you throw at people to give them horrible luck, penis-shaped candles to make someone impotent and weirdly enough, oils you can use to bless someone with both luck and fertility. 

You can allegedly even get one less messy – but way more insane – results. 

The person guarantees maiming, horrible diseases, hair loss, terrible skin conditions, the loss of loved ones, possession and even an excruciating death. Of course, it’s not free; you have to pay quite a heavy monetary price for this.

This tragic guarantee also comes with a number of average-looking glass bottles filled with what look like mixtures of an alcoholic’s piss and vomit. Here, you can place pictures of the co-worker who took your parking spot last week for some well-deserved cursing. 

Reminder: You also need to place the whole thing in their home for it to work.

Would you be able to live with your conscience if this really worked? 

What about that quote teens like to put on their Facebook photos: “What goes around, comes around?”

Tag someone who’d be creeped out by this to make their Friday the 13th!
