Witchcraft bullet seal, also known as a witch's bullet or witch's shot, is a type of magical or supernatural object said to have protective powers against the black arts and witchcraft. The belief in the power of witchcraft bullet seals dates back centuries and is found in various cultures and regions around the world. In many traditional systems of magic and folklore, the act of shooting a bullet into an object or substance believed to be connected to a witch was believed to neutralize their powers or protect against their malevolent influence. The bullet seal is often made of lead, as lead was believed to possess magical properties and the ability to repel evil spirits and forces. The process of creating a witchcraft bullet seal typically involves melting down lead and infusing it with various magical herbs, symbols, and incantations. The lead is then formed into a bullet shape and often engraved with protective symbols or prayers.

Her paintings, some of which were seized by police and burned, could loosely be defined as esoteric canvases often filled with hectic images of women embracing the Greek god Pan, snakes and horned demons. Set within the tantric healing community, docu Sex Magic Manifesting Maya centers on the Sedona Temple s sacred sex shaman Baba Dez, forced into self-reflection when his beloved, Maya, leaves him, and fellow therapists accuse him of inappropriate use of his, uh, holy rod, in healing work.
The lead is then formed into a bullet shape and often engraved with protective symbols or prayers. Sometimes, other objects may be included within the bullet, such as nails, hair, or bodily fluids, believed to have a specific connection to the witch or their powers. Once the witchcraft bullet seal is created, it is typically carried on the person or placed in a specific location for protection.
Sex magic, occult art and acid: the story of the infamous witch of Kings Cross
They didn’t quite burn witches in Australia in the 1940s and 50s, but they didn’t make it easy for them either.
Take Rosaleen Norton, an artist and self-identified witch who the tabloids called “the witch of Kings Cross”. She was repeatedly arrested, had her artwork burned and was shunned and mocked by society.
Norton eked out a modest living selling her art, and putting spells and hexes on people. Her story has been captured in a new documentary, released online on Tuesday.
Norton, who lived in Kings Cross in the postwar years until her death in 1979, had been fascinated with the occult since she was a child.
Ban on Aleister Crowley lecture at Oxford University - archive, 4 February 1930 Read moreAged 23 and living away from her conservative family in a variety of lodgings and squats in the seedy Sydney suburb, she began to practise trance magic and, later, sex magic. The former involved invoking spells, rituals and taking substances with the aim of achieving a higher form of consciousness; the latter was popularised by the British occultist Aleister Crowley and involved having sex with multiple partners that invoked rituals similar to Tantra.
The fascinating story of Norton’s life may have been lost had it not been for the commitment of Sonia Bible to bring it to the screen.
Made on a shoestring budget, and largely crowd- and self-funded, the documentary is a labour of love. The film-maker managed to track down several of Norton’s contemporaries before they died, and sourced diaries and artworks that were in private hands; she melds the historical documents with dramatic recreations (Norton is played by Kate Elizabeth Laxton).
Film-maker Sonia Bible says the woman dubbed the ‘witch of Kings Cross’ lived life on her terms and in her 60s was still dropping acid and making art
“When I started making the film, I knew this story was on the edge of living memory,” Bible says. “This would be the last film on the late 50s, because the people have died. The oral history of people who were there – that has gone now.”
She came across Norton’s story in the tabloid papers, while researching 2011’s Recipe for Murder – another documentary set in postwar Sydney.
“It was a time of great social change,” Bible says. “A dark noir time before pointy cars and rock’n’roll, but in the lead-up to the counterculture.

All her life, Norton combined her interest in the occult with art. Her paintings, some of which were seized by police and burned, could loosely be defined as esoteric: canvases often filled with hectic images of women embracing the Greek god Pan, snakes and horned demons.
Australia in the postwar years was almost 90% Christian, and Norton was made a target for her beliefs. Surveillance and raids from the vice squad, and seizure of her work, criminalised her, and turned her into a notorious and shocking tabloid figure. One of her sex magic partners, the celebrated Sydney Symphony Orchestra conductor Sir Eugene Goossens, was forced to flee Australia when his luggage at Sydney airport was found to contain pornography. The pair each suffered in their own way for transgressing the strict moral boundaries of the time.
“There was a rapid change in relationships between men and women, social conventions and politics,” Bible says. Right now we are also living in a time of great change, but when you are in it, you can’t analyse it.”

Part of the tragedy of Norton’s story is that she was born too soon – in 1917. If she were alive now, there would be a whole community of witches to connect with on TikTok – but even being born 10 years later would have made a difference, according to Bible.
“If she had been launching herself in the 1960s, with the counterculture and feminism in full swing, she would have been like Brett Whiteley … She was at the vanguard and she did have an impact and inspired people. Young people went up to the Cross looking for her.”
But even though Norton’s life was hard, Bible cautions about viewing her with pity.
“She lived the life she wanted. She didn’t value money. She was very happy. She had her art and her religion. She lived life on her own terms and towards the end she had a flat in Kings Cross, given to her by the church.
“People felt sorry for her, this old woman living in the Cross with her cats. But in her 60s she was dropping acid and still making art. She was very happy.”

It is believed that the bullet seal will act as a barrier, deflecting any negative energy, curses, or hexes that may be directed towards the individual or their property. Some traditions suggest that the bullet seal should be fired into an object associated with the witch, such as their home or burial site, to effectively neutralize their powers. The belief in the power of witchcraft bullet seals is deeply rooted in the cultural and historical context of witchcraft persecution and the fear of witches. In many societies, witchcraft was viewed as a serious threat, and people sought various means of protection against it. Witchcraft bullet seals were believed to provide a tangible and powerful defense against the dark arts, giving individuals a sense of security and peace of mind. Today, the belief in witchcraft bullet seals continues to persist in certain magical and occult traditions. While it may be viewed as a superstition by some, for others, the power and effectiveness of these seals remain a significant aspect of their spiritual practices. Whether as a talisman or a symbol of personal empowerment, the witchcraft bullet seal represents an enduring fascination with the mysterious and often misunderstood world of witchcraft..
Reviews for "Transforming Negative Energy with the Witchcraft Bullet Seal"
1. John - 2 stars
I was really disappointed with Witchcraft bullet seal. The product claimed to provide an instant and effective seal for leaking bullet casings, but it didn't work for me at all. I followed the instructions carefully, but the sealant wouldn't stick properly and the leaks persisted. It was a waste of money and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
2. Sarah - 1 star
I had high hopes for the Witchcraft bullet seal, but it fell short of my expectations. The sealant was messy to apply and didn't provide a reliable seal as advertised. Additionally, it didn't work well on different types of bullet casings, so it was quite limited in its functionality. Overall, it was a frustrating experience, and I regret purchasing this product.
3. Mark - 2 stars
I gave the Witchcraft bullet seal a try, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype. The sealant was difficult to work with and didn't adhere well to the bullet casings. It was supposed to provide a tight and secure seal, but I didn't find it to be effective. It might work for some people, but for me, it was a letdown.
