Let’s Talk Witch – The Horror of Knowing Yourself
Okay, so are you ready to try out a curse?
I believe that curses are a completely normal part of magic crafting, and that utilizing your dark energy is important for spiritual and mental health. If you are against curses, the answer to this is simple: don’t use any of my curses!
I know, curses can be scary. People have been telling you about curses coming back to you three times as strong for decades now. But guess what! It doesn’t really work that way.
The Threefold Law, as it’s commonly known within Wicca and a few other magical traditions, states that any energy you put out into the world, be it positive or negative, will come back to you three times as powerful. Obviously, if that’s true, curses are a bad idea.
But energy doesn’t multiply on its own like that. Maybe if the target catches onto the curse and purposefully sends it back more powerful, then it might come back to you. Otherwise, there is no reason to believe that the energy will do anything but degrade as at reaches its target, and if they simply deflect it, it will degrade even more before it comes back to you.
Still, there is some virtue in refusing to cultivate and use that dark garden of magic within you. If you simply want to grow positivity and light, then that is your choice. It just isn’t a very balanced one.
Okay, okay, enough of that. Let’s get to the curse! Let’s say you know someone who has a nasty habit or personality trait. Maybe this person gives backhanded compliments without even knowing it.
How can you get a person to reflect on their flaw? The answer is right there! In the word ‘reflect’!
