Lets Talk about curses

 

  Cursing isn't always about cruelty, sometimes its more about clarity, its akin to a blade that's been magically sharpened. People fear curses because they mistake power for malice. Yes curses in spell work can be malicious, but sometimes the only way to protect yourself is to let magic speak for you when words have failed, now cursing isn't always evil, sometimes it's just a necessary evil. If you are considering cursing, ask yourself what's your intent? It's not always about rage although it can be , but it can be much about restoring balance. 

So what are you going to do when cursing? I will give you a simple no fail beginners lesson. Write their name on a piece of paper, surround it with symbols of what you are calling for, think of it like you are calling for binding justice and silence. Then you can seal it and let your work carry the weight of your truth. 

    Remember, cursing can be dark and heavy work so make sure you do lots of research and even more soul searching. The takeaway I hope is that you never let anyone take your power and whatever it is that needs to happen will be taken care of when you trust the universe, but sometimes it needs a little push in the right direction. 

    Now lets talk about the opposite issue. How to break a curse or hex. 

    If you’ve ever felt like things are going a little sideways and can’t pinpoint why, you might be entertaining the thought that a curse or hex could be at play. While it may sound like something straight out of a fantasy novel, many cultures believe in the power of curses and hexes, impacting one’s life in unforeseen ways. Breaking free from these negative spells might not be as daunting as you think, but it does require intention and a touch of know-how. 

    You may be wondering how you can tell if you’re under the influence of a curse or hex. Common signs could be a string of bad luck, unexplainable ill health, or a general sense of negativity hanging over you. Once you’ve got an inkling that a curse could be the culprit, getting ready to break it is your next step. You’ll want to gather your resolve and perhaps a few items that are often associated with purification and protection in magical practices. Then, it’s time to explore the traditional methods of spell-breaking, which range from the simple act of a cleansing bath to more intricate rituals involving candles, jars, or protective symbols.

    Remember, breaking a curse or hex isn’t an exact science, and the power of belief plays a huge role. Whether you opt for a spiritual cleanse using sage or bay leaves, a bath in a natural body of water, or the creation of a magical poppet, the intention behind your actions is key. With an open mind and a focused spirit, you may find yourself stepping out of the shadow of the curse and into a lighter, more positive space.

    *Setting a Protective Space

    First thing’s first, create a safe zone that’ll keep any bad vibes at bay while you work. Think of it like making a safe bubble around yourself.

• Salt: Line the perimeter of your space with sea salt for an unbreakable barrier against negative energies.
• Sage: Burn some sage to clear out any lingering nasties and purify the room—it’s like giving the air a good scrub.
• Protective herbs: Sprinkle protective herbs like rue or hyssop around, or wear them, to beef up your defenses.
• Candles: Light candles, especially black ones, as they’re ace at soaking up the dark stuff.
• Pentacle: If you’re into symbols, draw a pentacle on the ground or keep one with you—it’s a big deal in safeguarding.     

  *Gathering Essential Items

  Now, let’s talk gear. You’ll need a few bits and pieces to break that hex or curse properly.

  • Amulets and Talismans: Grab your favorite trinkets for personalized protection. Keep them close—they’re your magic armor.
  • Crystals: Crystals like selenite can help cleanse and shield you, it’s kind of like having a spiritual bodyguard.
  • Herbs for Ritual Bath: Get ready for a serious soak. Gather herbs like sage, hyssop, or any other hex-breaking herbs for your ritual bath.
  • Candles (Again): Yep, they’re not just for making the room smell nice. Have some more handy, because you’ll need them for the actual curse-breaking part too.   

    *Conducting Curse-Breaking Rituals

    Rituals are like recipes; just as the right ingredients can create a delicious meal, the proper steps in a ritual can help you break a curse. Timing matters: aim for a waning moon when energies are waning, or a new moon for new beginnings.

    • Salt Water Baths: Submerge yourself in a bath infused with salt — think of the ocean’s cleansing power.
    • Selenite Wanding: Sweep a selenite wand over your body or around your space to declare a no-nonsense eviction notice to that nasty hex.
    • Herbal Teas for Home Cleansing: Brew up some hex-breaking herbs and sprinkle the water around your place to cleanse it.

    Remember, each step of the ritual is a signal to the universe: you’re done with being hexed. 

    Using the Power of Prayer and Intention

    The words you speak or think have weight, and that goes double when you’re dealing with a curse. You need to truly believe in your own power and the forces you call on for help.

    • Prayer to Ancestors: Reach out to your ancestors in prayer; their strength and wisdom can offer mighty support in curse-breaking spells.
    • Calling Upon The Gods or Your God: If you’re aligned with a deity, now’s the time to offer prayers for their intervention.
    • Affirmations and Intentions: Speak your desire to break the curse aloud. Make it bold. Make it heard. 
    • Channel your focus like a laser—your intention is the secret ingredient to make any curse-breaking spell work. Keep your thoughts positive and your spirit determined 
      
      
      
    • *Divination for Determining Curse Origins

    • Now, if you’re scratching your head, wondering where the hex came from, divination is your friend. It’s the practice of seeking knowledge of the unknown and can be super helpful in identifying if and where a curse originated. You can use tarot cards — they’re not just for telling your love fortune. Pulling cards can give you a read on the situation and possibly highlight factors contributing to the curse.

      • Scrying: This is the practice of looking into reflective surfaces, like mirrors or water, to pick up on psychic vibes.
      • Runes: These symbols have been around the block for centuries and can be cast to revel insights.

      In divination, trust your intuition. Sometimes the clues are subtle, but with a bit of focus, you can uncover the curse’s roots. Armed with this knowledge, you’ll be better equipped to tackle it head-on. 

      
      
      

      Maintaining Curse-Free Living 

      Lifestyle Changes to Prevent Recurrence

      Revamping your day-to-day routine can create a barrier against future negative influences. It’s like eating whole healthy foods and taking your supplements—good for long-term health and wellness. 

    • Get Enough Sleep: Your energy field needs to recharge, and a rested body is more resilient against psychic interference.
    • Healthy Eating: A nourishing diet can boost your inner strength. Think of magic herbs like rosemary for protection as the seasoning on your wellness journey.
    • Regular Exercise: Staying active clears the mind and keeps your protective energies up.
    • Mindfulness and Meditation: Daily practices can center your mind, making you less susceptible to curses.

    Remember, it’s not just about avoiding the bad stuff; it’s about embracing behaviors that foster positivity and good luck in your life.

    Ongoing Protection and Cleansing

    It’s crucial to regularly cleanse your personal space and aura to maintain that curse-free living. Consistent rituals are akin to taking your spiritual vitamins—they fortify you.

    • Protective Herbs: Burn sage or palo santo to clear spaces of negative vibes. Keeping protective herbs like lavender around your place can act as passive wards.
    • Spiritual Cleanses: Not just for the aftermath of hexes! Regular saltwater baths.
    • Energy Shielding: Envision a shield around you as a daily meditation to ward off negative energy.
    • Blessings and Affirmations: Bless your home and workspace regularly; daily affirmations keep your headspace positive as well.

    Your peace of mind is sacred—guard it with ongoing practices that not only heal but also shield you from any future magical misgivings.
