Curse Tablet (Incantations, Spells and Curses)

A single curse inscribed on a thin sheet of lead or similar material and left in a grave, spring or sanctuary, such as the Pella curse tablet from Macedonia. An entry belongs here when its article describes one individual tablet or one text. It excludes the collections found together at one site, which sit in the deposit group. The group page lists related spell texts together so that a reader can compare how a tradition recorded and used its charms.
