Help needed! Disposing of 'Corpse Water'.

[pollymere]

So I found an old drinks bottle in my DC room labelled "Corpse Water". Apparently they filled it from a puddle in the local cemetery. It is likely that it HAS been through graves, both consecrated and unconsecrated.

They don't live at home anymore and I want to dispose of it because whether it's genuine or not, I want to be rid of it and destroy it.

I know it can be used in black magic and I genuinely don't know whether DC was attempting anything. I don't feel comfortable just binning it because I feel that would be dabbling with things beyond my understanding.

If anyone has advice on the correct way to dispose of it, please advise. I am able the visit the Cemetery it came from and have access to crucifix, Bible and Holy Water. I also have certain "gifts".

It's just water. It didn't come out of a corpse, it came out of the sky?!
It's clearly a silly children's joke/game.
Just pour it away. There's no such thing as 'black magic'.

Corpse water? Hmm.

Tap water has come from a toilet, it's cleaned and put back into the pipes so can I call it 'piss water' from now on? It certainly tastes like that around here.

Oh, give over OP.

Pour it back into the ground at the cemetery where it came from. Job done.

The water we drink now is the same water that held the first protozoan life form, dampened the dinosaurs, carved all the canyons, floated the ark, was changed into wine, stank in the Thames, rained down on the Flanders fields, flooded the Somme, floated all the ships that ever sailed, bathed all the babies, flushed all the sewers, Chanel puts it pretty bottles, it's floating over my garden in clouds right now, and nothing that happens to water can surprise it any more, not even the goings on in your kids' bedroom.
HTH
(We used to call it Gravy, by the way.)

Can you see why your child might have a preoccupation with ‘black magic’ and other woo nonsense when you’re prepared to go to a cemetery with a bible and crucifix to tip away a bit of puddle water?

The fact you’re fully going along with the ridiculous label this gothic edge lord impressionable teen has decided to give it is beyond bonkers.

Please tell us more about your gifts, OP.

Much lols. Great phrase! “ corpse water”….a term for stale flat beer? 😂

Or really weak tea? 😀

I genuinely thought from the title that this was going to be about disposing of water that had been used to wash a body for someone who had died and been waked at home. Though the only time I was around for that, the water was disposed of by pouring it down the drain. Contact with a dead body didn't give it sinister powers or anything.

Or the toilet. Preferably the toilet imo.

Hopefully you anticipated the gleefully passive aggressive, cynical responses here, OP. Very predictable and I hope they've had fun.

Are you a member of a particular religion? If so I think best take it to a religious leader of that faith, like your priest. Let them deal with it. It sounds like you aren't into witchcraft etc yourself so probably don't want to get into releasing it yourself.

Black magic certainly exists but most people in the west don't believe it and are lucky to not have been affected by it.

I would flush it down the toilet or sink.

FWIW personally I would just return it to the cemetery it was taken from, and pour it back into the ground with loving and respectful intentions. Then you could perform a personal and home cleansing - plenty of videos on youtube if you're not sure where to start.

🤣

Would you talk openly like this about Christian or Muslim beliefs and practices? Or is it only spirituality that's socially acceptable to mock that you take jabs at?

Have you been watching too many horror movies op lol

“ spirituality”? What is that? Corpse water is part of “ spirituality”, is it?

😂your derision is dripping from your comment. Ok, whatever. Message received.

Pour it down the toilet followed by some bleach. Flush toilet. Put bottle into recycling. Wash hands. Then tell DC to tidy up own shit in future and to not be so disrespectful.
Water that has been used in hospitals to prepare deceased bodies for the morgue is flushed down a sluice, so is the water from undertakers and post mortem rooms.

The dead body I helped wash was in a devoutly Catholic household, before a Catholic funeral, and I can assure you we just poured the water away as you would any other washing water.

The OP is clearly superstitious, gullible and has watched too many bad horror films.

Just flush it down the toilet.
There is no such thing as black magic. Or any magic. There are spells, which are the same sort of thing as prayer or potentially some form of therapy, and I say this as someone who occasionally "does" spells.

That’s lovely, but it’s a different ‘corpse water’ and belief system that OP is on about.

I don’t understand why some beliefs and practices are respected and honoured, like the one you described, while others are ok to mock and laugh at. The only difference is what is socially acceptable, and I think that’s a weak reason to laugh at one belief while respecting another.

It's rain from the sky and nothing more.
Just stop with the mumbo jumbo nonsense and throw it away. I say that as a pagan and because I know the basics of gravity and rain cycle.

Genuine question, to what end do you do spells?
Since you liken it to prayer or therapy, is a spell some form of affirmation or positive thinking?

I do believe in the power of thought, as in, we can convince ourselves of positive or negative experiences or consequences.
We can talk ourselves into action or inaction, but do you believe it's more than that?

For example, some people here clearly believe in black magic, but I believe it's down to people with less than benevolent intentions who create negative outcomes. There is no magic involved.
