Can witchcraft be used as a weapon to send spirits to possess/harm someone else?

Truth from lived experience

Yes. And anyone who tells you otherwise has either never seen it, or they’re being careful with their words.

I was raised in this. My grandmother taught me by firelight, the old way, the way her grandmother taught her. I’ve worked with spirits my whole life. I’ve done protection, healing, divination. But I’ve also seen what happens when someone turns that knowledge into a blade.

When you work with spirits, with energy, with the old powers—you’re opening doors. Most of the time, we open those doors for good reasons. To ask for guidance. To call in protection. To honor the ancestors. But those same doors can be opened with different intentions.

I've sat across from people who were being eaten alive from the inside. Not sick in the normal way. Sick in a way that doesn't make sense.

Their personality shifts. They can’t sleep. Their luck turns black. Relationships fall apart for no reason. They feel something sitting on their chest at night. And when you look deeper, when you’re able to see what’s actually there, you find something that wasn’t invited.

Sometimes it talks. Not always, but sometimes. And when it does, it says the same thing: “I was sent.”

Someone called it. Someone fed it their hatred, their jealousy, their desire for revenge, and they aimed it like an arrow. That’s not theory. That’s not folklore. I’ve witnessed it more times than I want to count.

Here’s what people don’t understand: spirits don’t have the same morality we do. They’re not “good” or “evil” the way we think of it. They’re forces. And if you know how to call them, if you know what to offer them, if you know the words and the timing and the ritual—they’ll do what you ask. Especially if what you’re asking aligns with their nature.

Can you send a spirit to harm someone? Yes. Can you bind something to a person so it follows them, drains them, torments them? Yes. Can you open a door inside someone so that unwanted things can walk in? Absolutely.

This is why traditional practices have rules. Boundaries. Protections. This is why my grandmother taught me that every door you open, you’d better know how to close. Every spirit you call, you’d better know how to dismiss. And whatever you send out, you’d better be ready for it to come back.

I don’t do that kind of work. I won’t, even when people ask me to. Not because I don’t know how—I do. But because I’ve seen what it costs. Not just for the target, but for the person who sent it. Spirits remember. They keep accounts. And some debts get collected in ways you didn’t expect.

So yes, witchcraft can be weaponized. It can be used to cause harm, to send affliction, to break a person down spiritually until they’re a shell. People want to pretend that’s not real because it’s uncomfortable. Because it makes the craft sound dangerous.

But pretending something doesn’t exist doesn’t make you safer. Knowing it exists, respecting it, understanding the weight of what you’re working with—that’s what keeps you safe.

The power is real. The spirits are real. And the harm is real. That’s not a scare tactic. That’s just the truth from someone who’s lived it.
