Hoodoo. A lot of hoodoo work is around the psalms. I’m sure there are other traditions and practices as well, but hoodoo is one that I’ve always seen a lot of psalms in. Both for blessing and cursing. The think I’ve found with hoodoo, is that you’re intent and ability to project that intent outside of yourself matters most.

The words/writing a name nine times, all of that is designed to get you to focus on the intent, but when you realize that’s what you should do, it takes off like you wouldn’t have thought.

There’s probably plenty in the psalms, I’ll have to look through it soon

The key term you want to Google is “imprecatory psalms.”

To wit…

“May the table set before them become a snare; may it become retribution and a trap. May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever. Pour out your wrath on them; let your fierce anger overtake them. May their place be deserted; let there be no one to dwell in their tents. For they persecute those you wound and talk about the pain of those you hurt. Charge them with crime upon crime; do not let them share in your salvation. May they be blotted out of the book of life and not be listed with the righteous.” Psalm 69:22-28 (NIV)

My grandmother used psalms very often to bless or curse. She would make baked goods from scratch while muttering the psalm of her choice as many times as she felt right and then give the finished product as a gift. There were. Any interesting manifestations ranging from easing of medical ailments and job opportunities opening up to decline in health and homes going into foreclosure. A lesson on being careful what gifts you accept.

As for myself, I don’t use them as often as my grandmother did as I don’t really jive with it
