Voodoo or not to do?

Hi, I am being stalked by some sort of Voodoo or Satanist person who finds enjoyment and pleasure out of stealing from my home, prank calling me, and most recently doing some sort of ‘Spell’ in the woods where I take my cats involving the murder of a chicken and a letter written by me taken from I’m not sure where. I believe it is the same people who have killed one of my cats in the past in my mothers yard, and stolen two others. two other cats have disappeared.
please I need help fending these people off. Ive reported to the police on multiple occasions and they are ignoring me. I’m currently enrolled in women’s counseling but id like to address the spiritual side of the situation I e break the curse and receive rabbinic blessings.

thank you for listening

In the halachos of kashrus we find that the mixing of milk and meat can either by done by the milk and meat mixing.
Or by their taste mixing The taste of food can transfer either when the food is at the heat of 45 Celsius (while some are machmir at 40 Celsius) or if the food is sharp and cut with a knife. if the food is not sharp or hot the taste which is in the food will not transfer over via the vessels which are being used unless the vessel being used is unclean as the hen there is actual food left there which is giving over the taste.
Therefore, theoretically speaking if you wash down the mixer after usage you can surely use it for dairy and thereafter for pareve with no concern at all.
For this reason there is no problem to use the same machine for both dairy and pareve yet if the machine is not totally clean you should wipe it down the machine after using for dairy before you use it for pareve if you want the pareve to certainly remain pareve.
