Question

What Should You Do If You Find a Taglock in Your Home?

Asked by curious_wanderer
I came across something that looks like a taglock in my house—it's a doll-like effigy with initials written on it. I'm curious about how others would deal with this situation. Specifically, I'm looking for practical steps. If you've faced something similar, what actions would you take first? Would you cleanse the space, and if so, how? What's your preferred method of disposal (sealed trash versus burning, burying, or placing it at a crossroads or river)? Lastly, if you consider 'returning to sender,' what's a non-harmful way to sever any connections?

It sounds like you've found a poppet, not just a taglock. A taglock is anything that targets a specific person in a spell, and in this case, the initials on the doll would serve that purpose. Personally, I would take it outside and toss it in the trash. As for cleansing, I’ve written a post detailing lots of techniques you can pick from! Cleansing the space can help, especially if you've been feeling uneasy about the situation for a while.

inquisitive_mind: Thanks for clarifying! I know just throwing it away seems simple, but I've been dealing with this for over a year and haven’t had peace yet. I really want to hear from others who might have faced something similar.
