Nidstang

Nithing Is an ancient custom used in old Scandinavia to curse or charm a hostile person.

To impose a curse, the horse's head must be placed on top of the pole - it must face the person who wants to impose the curse. The content and purpose of the curse or amulet should be placed on a wooden pole.

Today we can find virtual forms of Nidstang. To some, inserting an image with a horse's head may seem ridiculous, but some people believe in the meaning of such actions.

“If you have an enemy that you strongly desire, you can build Nidstang. You take a wooden stake and place it in the ground or between boulders to keep it from moving. You put the horse's head on top of your head. Now you say, "I am building Nidstang here," and you explain the reason for your anger. Nidstang will help deliver the message to the gods. Your words will pass through the stake and break out of the horse's "mouth". And the gods always listen to horses. Now the gods will hear your story and get angry too. They will be very angry. Soon your enemy will taste God's wrath and punishment. And you will take revenge. Good luck!"
