Kyrilla’s curse


About 1,700 years ago a woman in Jerusalem was so angry with someone that she wrote (or hired the writing of) a curse tablet.

Kyrilla “’calls upon the Greco-Roman gods Hermes, Persephone, Pluto and Hecate, the Mesopotamian goddess Ereshkigal and Gnostic Abrasax amidst magical words connected with Judaism and the Hebrew language.’ She asks that the gods and goddesses “’strike and strike down and nail down the tongue, the eyes, the wrath, the ire, the anger, the procrastination’ of the subject of the curse.”
