The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Sorry it didnt finish before it posted, My grandmother left me her grimoure and in it were spells and most of them had cemetary dust in them what is the cemetary dust used for?

I am pretty sure that cemetary dust is cemetary dirt, and cemetary dirt is used in a lot of spells to get rid of people...

I dont see why cemetary dirt would be classed as a bad nature it is the resting place of souls. but if it is of a bad nature I would stay away in my opinion.

cemetary dust isn't dirt from a grave..it is something different..

sprry blond moment. then can some-one explaine what it is?

I know it is usually used for darker magicks, ie: revenge, to break up a romance,to cause illness in someone.
From what I understand, it is basically what is in the soil after so many centuries.The remains of people,dirt,leaves,plants, and so on.

Cemetery dust is as you have explained above me! It is mostly used for the darker spells and potions, but does have positive values. I think a lot has to do with the person using the ingredients in charms and spells. Lots of people associate cemetery with negativity. This would negate the way a spell or potion is worked.

Someone told me this story. A woman went and got dirt from the cemetary. Whatever she used it for is a mystery. The woman lost her business, her b.f lost his job. True or false I honesty cannot tell you. But thought a interesting read. If you do take some remember to leave a token to apprecaition. The last is my 2 cents.

It is mostly used in a lot of Conjuring spells as well.

I think dust/dirt are basically the same thing, and their is also goofer dust but that is something diffrent but it has graveyard dirt/dust in it... And this dirt/dust is used for negative spellwork...

I've been told all the negatives before. I found a spell, tried it, and it worked. It was a protection spell. it also depends on the grave/cemetary you get the dirt/dust from. Not all dark magic is evil, it just so happens that people tend to cling to evil meanings to things. It's all part of how you use something and your intentions.

*insert heavy sigh here*

Cemetary dirt/ graveyard dirt is also used in white magic. It can be used as a component for healing spells and protection spells.

But it does have its darker side. And most people, due to their superstition of graveyards and ghosts to begin with, automatically associate it with only dark magic.

Can you use just any old dirt? or does it have to be from somewhere in particular?

It is sue in both white and black magic, I use it on both, it all depends if its one of cemetary that was concecrated or if it was from one unblessed, ether way you have to be carefule since it is a powerfull element in a spell, it can bounce back at you if you do not use it carefully and with a total preparation along with the right spells.

Well cemetary dust by it self is a curse. If you throw i ton someone it gives thema lot of bad luck.

cemetary dust is the dust from the gravestones..i should know i work at a cemetary..

Cemetary dirt/dust is best to get from a fresh grave if your using it for black magick...

it depends on what spell you are doing at the time..

It is a base ingrediant in many Hoodoo spells. It is most powerful if from the grave of a powerful practictioner or from the grave of a person who was murdered. The former for the kinds of spells person practiced when alive while the latter for blackest of magicks.

the dust is better for black magic if from the grave of the person who murdered the person than from the person who was killed..

I agree no one could haveexplained better then me I just hope I never get on someones bad side to where they would want to get rid of me for any resason cause Iam a kind heard person

i belive its the dust that comes from engraving a tombstone

i was taught that it is the scrapings off the tombstone

thats about the same thing all i know is it smells like rock powder like from cutting stones ive done alot of lapidary work and it very much the same in texture and smell
id taste it but tasting anything with the word cematary in it i dont know about that

cemetery dust can be used to get rid of an enemy or curse someone more likely also can be used for repeling negativity from someones life or ward off diseases in certain spells.

So, indirectly I think I got my answer. So, it has to be from the cemetary in one way or another. Okay... Understand now. Thanks.

the dust from the graveyard is very powerful so tread carefully...

choose your cematary wisely cause you dont want to bring anything or anyone else back with the dust

that is true red...but u have to make sure of the dust and where it comes from..

it's an ingredient for some spells. mostly to do with the dead or purple/black magic

IMO, Magick is neither dark or light... I can cast a so called light spell and do as much damage or more as a so call dark spell. It all depends upon the caster.

BTW grave yd dirt is used in a lot of Vudon workings. Just always ask permission from who's grave you are taking dirt from... No need to piss off a spirit, unless you know how to trap them and use them.

I don't recoment this to any novice. You will end up with something on your back that ajax can't remove.... :~}

well I have never tried to use it myself .. but as far as I know its powerful stuff ( depending on the caster) used in many different forms such as curses and summoning spells .. I would suggest doing some research before attemping a spell .. you dont want it going wrong on ya .. some have certain days and times or even moon cycles .. But in the end it all depends on the level of the caster for a successful spell

it depends on what the words in the spell say and what else is used in the spell it could be used to resurect someone or keep evil away on the other hand it could be used to get the protection of one lost to you

it depends on what the ritual is going for. cem. dust is the remains of the dirt where spirts and bodies rest. alot of things can come from dirt, like pet cemetary..well anyway, not to get off subject.

the dust is way different then dirt people...

it is used alot in necromantic spells as well

well ive heard but not saying is true that is can be kept to keep a dieing loved one alive or keep the soul from leaving so it can be and entrapment

I have known people to use cemetery dust in spells such as: Revenge, Cursing Someone, and To Cause Tragedies. I am definitely no expert in this area, but I don't think cemetery dust is used for good things.

it can be used for good as well as bad my dear it all depends on purpose

See, I am glad I said I wasn't sure. Because I have only seen it used in a not so good way. But you learn something new every day. Right?

I would say that it is used as a bindig agent, since the hollowed ground is ment to keep souls in the cemetery.

I have some from an extremely old cemetary, where good & bad were both buried. i've only ever used it for good.

I would say that what it is depends on where you get it. If you get it from the headstones outside then it is a mix of dirt and elements. Dust and dirt are different as they carry different elements and organisms however, it is a form of fine dirt. But....if you open a sealed tomb, mausoleum, sarcophagus etc....and find dust it is completely different as it is not so much derived from the elements and dirt of the outside as much as it is the remnents of the occupants inside....

Casting spells is pretty new to me. I always thought that graveyard dust/dirt was that soil taken from a grave. Lately I have been studying Wicca and in the spells I have come across there has been no call for grave yard dirt. There have been many good points brought up here such as asking the permission of the person who's grave it is, and only taking from a consecrated cemetary. Thank you for the enlightement.

last time...there is a difference between graveyard dust and dirt.....graveyard dust is frome the gravestones where as the dirt is from the grave..

I believe cemetary dust or dirt is holy and sacred ground not just a christian belief but in many cultures cemetaries are sacred burial grounds. So they are used for protection and banishings as far as I know.

it can also be use to protect, if it comes from the grave of a person that was close to you and rally loving you truely then it can be use as a protection for you, in a spell of just even in a pouch that you keep in a pocket or a purse.

it might be chips and pieces of old tombstones.

cemetary dust or dirt is used for darker spells of hurt to individuals. don't know of any other spells for this.

I won't lie, I haven't the foggiest idea what cemetery dust is other than hallowed ground (whatever ingredient that may serve as???) I wanted to add to this thread because i think it's so interesting that your grandmother left you a grimoire and was wondering if you'd be willing to share a page or two (obviously nothing too hairy). I think there would be many people in VR land curious about the contents of a grimoire.
