Straw Dolls

A classic cursing item. There’s an elaborate ritual you’re supposed to follow when using it. It goes something like this: first put the hair of the person you want to curse in the straw doll, then between 1 and 3 AM, dress in white, put three lighted candles on an iron ring and wear it on your head, go the holy tree at the back of a shrine, and use long nails to hammer the doll on to the holy tree. And no one must see you while doing all this.

There are mail-order places that sell sets that come with a doll, hammer, nails, a piece of wood to hammer the doll on, and candles. There are also places that will do the cursing for you.
