Of course people should find out for themselves if they wish. No one is saying, " Don't do this ." But what many of us are saying, based on many years of practice and experience, is that what the original poster is asking for is not going to happen in the way he/she wishes it to. And this is especially true since they have indicated they have no knowledge of how to go about working real magic.
As for E.A. Koetting, there are some who like his writings. There are many who find him a charlatan, particularly in his writings on Voudoun. So one pays their money for his books (of finds them free on-line) and takes their chances that what he is saying is fact. Again, that is something only the individual can determine. He's not an author I would recommend, particularly to a novice, but again such choices are up to him/her.
Those of us who presume to know better through years of practice, but most importantly, through experience, should make it very clear that the only way to truly know, is through experience. As for making your own choices, telling them to take no action or to only protect themselves is pretty cut and dry. But again as we keep saying, it’s all up to the individual.
We’re obviously from two different schools of thought, no one is wrong/right, do whatever you want.
As stated there is no spell where you can snap your fingers and make everyone die instantly [well, not unless you're Thanos anyway lol] even if death spells are real [which is a debated topic] they take time to build and take effect. Plus they would require a tremendous amount of energy to cast successfully on one person [i highly doubt you can cast a death curse on multiple people at once] so if you are serious about this you'll have to commit for a long period of time to charge and direct negative energy/emotions towards these people. Personally it's better to just let it go and move on [otherwise you will be keeping the wound open and essentially drinking your own poison for months]
While there are a number of curses you could use on them [curses I won't post in the forums] there are plenty of spells you can also use. Binding them from doing harm for example, or a misfortune spell. A money spell for yourself. [actually, cleansing, protection, healing and wealth/job spells would all benefit you] if I were you, if they cursed me I would send the energy back at them along with a binding then focus on myself. Find ways to hea, cleanse, protect and bring wealth back into my life.
I would suggest a book called The Master of the Temple by Eric Erickson. It is a novel, but I have it on good authority that it is completely factual. In fact, I have actually met people who are mentioned in it. It tells about someone that wanted to harm others, and what became of him.
