Hexes and Curses ?

[rubyrose]

Hexes and Curses ? do you believe they are possible? I have been discussing this with some people and when it comes to them I dont know...I am a bit on the fence.

for instance I had a discussion with friend who pretty much thinks they only work if you believe in it (meaning the receiver) or you are on that spiritual level to accept such a thing. and if you feel like you do have something a banishing & protection should do.

but then another friend who says not true you can send some funky heavy hitting stuff to anyone whether they believe/open to it or not. and it takes alot more then banishing & protection sometimes..


thoughts?

I do believe that you can do any kind of spell/energy work whether the person believes/knows about it, regardless if it's positive or negative. For example, I've heard of people doing Reiki on animals and babies... do they know and understand they are getting Reiki and the effects of it? No, but it still works. Also things such as love spells work, which I would consider a curse. (I know from personal experience when I was very young, new, and didn't quite understand the whole spell thing- good thing I've grown since then!) So unfortunately, I do think it's possible. Just my opinion though, I'd be curious to hear others take on it as well!

Hey Ruby!
Yes I absolutely do believe that hexes and curses work! I don't believe in white or black magic, instead I take the approach that magic is grey, colourless. It has the energy of the intender. For example, someone who does a spell in someone's best intentions without the other person knowing shouldn't be considered bad in my opinion.

This is usually forbidden in Wicca at least as far as I know, but other types of paganism can take less of a stance on it.

Back to hexes and the like though, since magic works with energy, the energy of a practitioner has powerful effect on the spell and it's outcome. This is why I believe hexes work so well. Because anger is such a strong and fiery emotion. That rage just DRIVES any magical workings.

So yes, they work. Do I suggest people try them? No. But the human spirit can get a tad bit obsessive sometimes, and this is one the kookiest spells get cast. I've seen some really rotten things happen to people who have said to have been hexed. I won't go into detail...
