BLASTING
Blasting is in folk Magic, the power to interfere with or destroy the fertility of man, beast, and crop. According to lore, witches blast as acts of revenge or unprovoked malice. They cause sexual dysfunction, impotency, barrenness, miscarriages, stillbirths, and deformities. Their power to wreak such havoc comes from the devil, who grants it in exchange for service and soul. The destruction of fertility, growth, and abundance is practiced in Sorcery traditions around the world.
In ceremonial magic, blasting is a means of coercing a Demon to appear and perform tasks on command. Blasting is done with a magical wand called a blasting rod.
