Magical Uses for Graveyard Dirt

Headstone from the Pioneer Memorial Park Cemetery.

I get asked what to do with graveyard dirt all the time. In short, what you do with it depends upon the spirit connected to the dirt. In this post, I will lay out the basics concerning magical uses for graveyard dirt.
In general:

• Communication/summonings of spirits of the dead
• Conjuring death energy
• Protection from spirit attacks
• Necromancy
• Banishing someone or something
• Dispelling certain emotions
• Letting go or breaking habits spells

From specific graves:

• Communicating with the spirit who resides there/spirits relating to them
• Love and home happiness spells, if gathered from the grave of a loved one
• Curses, if gathered from the grave of a wicked person
• Bravery, strength, or demanding that someone obey you, if gathered from the grave of a soldier
• Knowledge, if gathered from the grave of the elderly or one who values gaining knowledge
• Healing, if gathered from the gave of an ancestor or healer
• Luck or money, if gathered from the grave of a gambler or economist
• Spiritual guidance and protection, if gathered from the grave of a spiritual leader
• Innocence, playfulness, and developing new friendships, if gathered from the grave of a child. (Be wary of these; many died unexpectedly and early, so they may be more bewildered than anything.
• Fertility and glamours, if gathered from the grave of an infant
• Strength and protection from harm, if gathered from a grave of one who was abused
• Ancestor connection and veneration, if gathered from the grave of a family member
• Loyalty and devotion, if gathered from the grave of a pet

From the crossroads of a graveyard or cemetery:

• Connection with spirits and deities
• Astral projection aid
• Necromancy
• Protection during spirit work
• Past lives work

How do you know the character of someone who was buried there? You have to communicate with the spirit who inhabits that grave. That, however, is a conversation for another post.

I hope this clears up graveyard dirt for you.
