1. Use the mob essence extractor and take it out of your own XP. Somewhat tedious to both gather the XP and convert it.
2. Tinkers construct essence berries harvested automatically and fed into autonomous activators positioned over an MFR sewer
3. If you have Forbidden Magic, you could power Wrath Cages with essentia to spawn mobs and gather the mob essence from those
Reckon number 2 is probably your best bet

Farm cows, pigs, sheep etc. and kill them for mob essence.
Anything really produces xp and then convert it into mob essence.

I like using snow golems killed by grinders to be honest, just a large enough pumpkin farm + snow generator = expandable essence production
EDIT: I do this by three MFR block placers, and making sure that pumpkins are my limiting reagent. At full speed, it produces a golem every time that the grinder kills one, so only need one grinder per block placer set.

I have a Mystcraft Age with seas of Mob Essence

As previously mentioned in the thread:
1.Grow essence berry bushes
2.MFR Harvester collecting essence berries
3.Send essence berries to autonomous activators overlooking sewers
4.Collect mob essence
Works like a charm.

How???? I don't even have a mob essence page in my cheated creative world?!!?!?
you don't need to use turtles to be able to do this, you can also set up an autospawner and lead the mobs through conveyrs to a 3x3 area with an activator aimed at the area.
put in a tinker's scythe and set the activator to left click, the activator will then kill any mobs that get pushed infront of them, and because you're using a scythe it'll do an AoE
best is to put a sewer in the floor in the middle of the 3x3 area with a lapiz upgrade, the sewer will collect the experience which you can then feed into the autospawner. if you do this for a while you'll quickly gain more mob essence then what you're using with the autospawner. you can autospawn slimes to speed this process up, as slimes will get killed into smaller slimes which then get killed into even smaller slimes, and they all drop experience.
if you don't feel like constantly repairing your tinkers scythe, put unbreaking 10 on it, which will make the scythe unbreakable.
Magical crops can make bottles of enchanting. If those are tossed onto a sewer (say, with a dispenser attached to a 1-clock), you can get a pretty sizable amount. That's what I use to kick-start my grinders usually.
Another thing I've used is a closed MFR system, using a planter/harvester/fertilizer (sewage) to make wheat, which goes into a breeder. This breeding area has sewers and cows. Use a chronotyper to separate the babies and conveyers to move them into a holding area where a grinder is ready to nom on them when they grow up.
More sewers in the holding area as well, since you'll have a large number of baby cows giving you more free wheat.
And a sound muffler. or 10.
(late edit: I do know the thread title said no grinder, but it seemed to me that the use of cursed earth was the actual problem. The MFR loop needs no cursed earth and generates significant amounts of mob essence that's pretty easy to control (add more cows to the breeder)
