Curses: Are You Cursed?

I've been getting a ton of inquiries about possible curses and getting them lifted. I'm not too sure what's suddenly bringing on all of this talk of being cursed, but I know that I'm seeing it enough that I feel it needs to be addressed.

Let's start with getting clear on what a curse actually is and how you pick one up.

The dictionary defines the word "curse" like this:

curse /kərs/

noun 1. A solemn utterance intended to invoke a supernatural power to inflict harm or punishment on someone or something.

I guess they kinda got the general gist of it. Kinda. This is definitely the definition you'll learn if you're watching a lot of movies.

As someone who messes with this stuff for a living, though, I know that it's much more than just someone saying a magical incantation in your direction and suddenly "inflicting harm or punishment" on you. It's actually more about the state of your own energy.

A curse is negative energy that has attached to you and is affecting you in negative ways.

That negative energy can come from anywhere. We are constantly encountering other energies all the time as we go about our day. We expose ourselves to the energy of everyone we interact with.

Negative energy is heavy and it can stick. It's so easy to pick it up from outside sources, especially if it's directed at you! That coworker across the office who totally hates you? The one who stares daggers at you all day long? She could easily be cursing you and neither of you even realize it! While she's hating on you, you're sitting there absorbing all of that shitty energy. You take it home with you. It starts to weigh you down if you don't properly protect yourself or get rid of it.

Have you ever heard of the "evil eye?" It's what happens when you get negative attention from others and their bad energy attaches to you and brings you down. This can happen pretty easily if you are someone who gets a lot of attention from people who are secretly (or not so secretly) envious or jealous of you. It can also come from one or a few people who have intensely negative feelings toward you.

Another way to pick up a curse is by becoming too invested in someone else's low-vibin' lifestyle. This is exactly why I tell people to be very careful who you give your energy to and who you allow into your energetic bubble! Do you have a friend or a loved one who is ALWAYS negative? Do they bring you down every time you talk to them? Do you spend a lot of time worrying about their drama and what's happening with them? Do you feel exhausted as a result of this? If their bad energy has attached to you and begins to affect you in bad ways... yep, you have contracted a curse.

Bad vibes don't just come from others though. We can even create them with our own thoughts and attitudes! Beliefs are powerful and let's be real, many of us struggle with what we believe about ourselves.

If you're always thinking bad things about yourself, you are bogging yourself down with negative energy... creating your own curse.

Yep, you read that right.

We can actually curse ourselves with our own negative thoughts.

This is why it's very important to be aware of our thoughts and what kind of energy we are promoting with them. Our thoughts really do create our reality!

You may have noticed that the kind of curses I've talked about so far are unintentional. The bad energy that's causing the curse in the situations I've mentioned was picked up accidentally and unknowingly.

But what about the curses that are intentionally placed on someone else by a witch or some kind of energy worker?

Most of the people who come to me about curses believe that this is the source of their affliction... someone who intentionally set a magical hex on them. In reality, though, this turns out to be the least common reason for someone being cursed.

I mean, let's think about it for a second. What are the chances that you know someone who is adept enough in the occult sciences to pull that off, and they hate you enough to actually do it?

I guess you could argue that just about anyone can track down a witch-for-hire and pay to have you cursed. I know a lot of witches who would be happy to expend that kind of energy in exchange for some hefty coin.

So what if this is what's happened to you? What if a witch actually has placed a curse on you? How does it work? What do you do?

First of all, I'm here to tell you that the energy affecting you from an intentional curse is no different than that of an accidental one... just like in the scenarios I explained above. It's just negative energy that has attached to you.

Really, that's all! Without getting into the specifics of how successful curses are performed, the basic concept of how they work is really rather simple. Someone was able to direct negative energy in one way or another, hurl it in your direction, and attach it to you. They probably had to have a pretty solid energetic connection to you in order to do so. Again, this actually isn't all that common.

So, how do you know if you're cursed?

Here are some of the symptoms:

You feel abnormally exhausted all the time lately and can't figure out why.
You get sick a lot. Like, way more than you should.
You have frequent nightmares.
You feel lethargic or unmotivated when it's out of character for you to be so.
You feel a "heaviness" that you can't explain.
You are suddenly very prone to accidents.
You have "bad luck" that just won't leave you alone.
Nothing ever seems to go your way.
You feel "blocked." Like you're stuck or can't move forward in one or more areas of your life.

This list is definitely not all-inclusive. It should, however, give you an idea of what it looks like to be affected by some negative energy that could be considered a curse.

And I would also like to point out that (obviously) all of these things can easily be caused by something else. For example, having nightmares alone doesn't necessarily mean that you are cursed. It could be caused by any ridiculously high number of things. It's when the nightmares are combined with four or five other things on this list is when you should start questioning it.

You'll start to notice the following when you're affected by a curse:

Symptoms will seem like they came out of nowhere.
You'll realize that there's no reasonable explanation for all these things to be happening to you.
The symptoms will probably get worse as time goes on. And the longer they are allowed to continue, the more significantly they'll affect your life.

How do you get rid of a curse?

I know this is going to sound totally cliche, but the first step is realizing that you're affected by some nasty energy that needs to GTFO. Sometimes, all it takes is being more conscious of the energy you're picking up from the people around you and the energy you're creating within your own being. Most energies cannot even affect you unless you allow them to.

The second step is to do a basic cleanse. Smudge or prepare a ritual bath for yourself (more on these methods in a later post).

An uncrossing spell or ritual will help you remove any unwanted energy that has gotten a hold of you and is weighing you down. This is for heavier issues that won't clear out with a simple smudge or bath cleanse. I hand make Uncrossing Spell Candles that can remove things like this for you. These are available in my shop, you can find them linked below.
