A Lesson On Taglocks: What Is A Taglock?

A taglock is an object used in spells that symbolically links the spell to its intended target. Biological taglocks include bodily fluids or tissues like blood, hair, or nails, while symbolic taglocks can be photos, possessions, or handmade items representing the target. Taglocks help ensure spells only affect their intended targets and are especially important for baneful spells. Precautions include not using one's own blood as it could redirect the spell, collecting blood safely, and avoiding consuming non-edible taglocks.

A Lesson on Taglocks 

 
 
What is a taglock? 
“Taglock” is a term that refers to any object that literally or symbolically 
reflects a subject. People use them in spells to create a link between the spell 
and the target. Taglocks can be both representative of you or another target. 
Taglocks are not necessary in spells, but can help make sure the spell is 
affecting only the intended target. It’s especially important to use them for 
spells that you do not want to affect other people, i.e. baneful workings.  
 
What are examples of taglocks? 
Biological Taglocks 
The taglock that even beginner witches are usually familiar with is 
blood. However, that’s definitely not the only taglock! As for items that 
literally come from you, one might use blood, urine, hair, nails, bodily 
fluids, et cetera.  
Symbolic Taglocks 
However, worry not if biological taglocks make you squeamish! There 
are other taglocks that you can use. You can use a picture of your 
target, their true name written down, or an item that has significance 
to them or something they made by hand. You can get more creative 
with symbolic taglocks- you may sew a doll that looks like them, use 
fabric from their clothes, etc. 
 
How can taglocks be used? 
If you’re doing, for example, a protection jar spell, you might write your name 
down on a piece of paper and put it in the jar spell. If you’re doing a candle 
spell to help a friend get better after they’re sick, you could tape a picture of 
them to the candle. If you’re making a spell to make someone come to justice 
for past actions, you could put a strand of their hair into the spell. If you have 
someone in your life that you wish would leave and not return, you might 
incorporate a piece of art they made or their favorite item into the spell. 
 
Precautions with Taglocks 
In the media, you often see “dark witches” (I hate the term) putting their own 
blood into baneful spells. Do. Not. Do. This. You’re taglocking the spell to 
yourself and making it super easy for the effects of the spell to affect YOU 
rather than the intended target.

Another precaution with blood magic- be safe and sanitary. The best method 
to collect blood is with a diabetic lancet. Make sure you clean the area with an 
alcohol wipe before pricking yourself. Additionally, please don’t do something 
dumb like try to get blood by cutting yourself with a knife. You risk being 
seriously hurt and getting a bad infection. If you want to do blood magic, 
invest in safe and sanitary methods. If you have periods, it’s also possible to 
use menstruation blood in spells.  
 
Please do not keep any bodily fluids (blood, urine, et cetera) for any period of 
time unless you have a stabilizer and/or correct conditions to store it in. 
 
An obvious note that still needs to be said- do not consume any taglocks that 
are not intended to be edible. Do not put blood into tea or, god forbid, drink 
your own urine. ​Please​. Use common sense and safety.
