Meet the Witch Offering to 'Curse' Alleged Abusers for Free After Claiming 75,000 Requests Flooded Her Form

A self-described witch and sexual assault survivor has opened a free online project offering to 'curse' alleged abusers, claiming more than 76,000 names were submitted within two days.

Sophie, who also describes herself as a human rights activist, launched the Free Justice Jar Project on 27 September and will accept submissions until 27 October.

According to Sophie, participants can anonymously submit the name of an alleged offender, with Sophie planning to perform what she calls a 'justice' ritual alongside other witches on 30 October.

Sophie Offers Free 'Curse' for Alleged Abusers

'I will curse anyone's SA-er or abuser for free,' Sophie said while announcing the project on social media.

People can submit an alleged offender's name through a form linked from her profile. Sophie made clear that participants do not have to identify themselves or explain what happened to them.

A birthday can be included if known, while those who do not know a person's name can instead provide a description.

According to Sophie, she originally created the 'justice jar' on Samhain last year. In her belief system, the working is intended to bring consequences to people who have caused harm and prevent them from hurting others.

She decided to reopen submissions after claiming TikTok removed a video she had made about 'cursing the Cornell Seven.'

Importantly, submitting someone's name does not establish that the person committed abuse or any other offence. The form accepts anonymous allegations and does not require evidence.

Sophie herself maintains that her ritual is designed so that, according to her beliefs, 'nothing would happen' to somebody falsely named.

Free Justice Jar Receives 76,000 Names, Sophie Claims

The response was far bigger than Sophie expected.

In a follow-up video two days later, she claimed the form had already amassed more than 76,000 names, and the volume has also changed her plans for the ritual.

Rather than physically placing tens of thousands of names inside the jar, Sophie said she will download the submissions onto a flash drive and use that as a 'tag lock' for the spell. Several other witches are expected to join her for the working on 30 October, she added.

Sophie believes the number of responses points to something beyond the ritual itself. She said survivors have been using the comments to discuss experiences they had previously questioned, with other users offering support and validation.

'So many people have found community through this project, healing through this project,' she said.

Why 'Justice' Curses Have Become Part of WitchTok

Sophie is far from the only online witch using magic framed around punishment, protection or accountability.

A 2026 peer-reviewed study by University of Toronto researcher Chris Miller examined hexes and curses on WitchTok and found that physical, sexual and emotional abuse were among the most common reasons users gave for directing harmful magic at another person.

The research found differing views within Pagan and witchcraft communities. Some practitioners oppose harmful magic under principles such as the Wiccan Rede, while others believe hexes can be justified in certain circumstances.

Miller found that references to rapists, abusive partners and stalkers regularly appeared when WitchTok users discussed when cursing somebody was considered acceptable. Spell jars themselves are also well established on WitchTok.

Academic research into the community has documented creators using jars, candles, written names and other objects in rituals intended for everything from love to harmful or 'baneful' magic.

Sophie has framed her own project around justice rather than asking survivors to prove their experiences to her. Submissions remain open until 27 October, with the mass ritual scheduled three days later.
