"The Conjuring" is a song by the thrash metal band Megadeth from their 1986 album Peace Sells... but Who's Buying?.

Written by Dave Mustaine during a time when he dabbled in black magic during his teenager years, the song's lyrics have been described as referencing a Satanic ritual and, according to Mustaine, contain "instructions for hexes".[3][4]
