The Role of Cursing in Magic
One of the old axioms of the Craft tells us that a witch who cannot curse cannot heal. Magic can generally be divided into blessing magic and cursing magic. Even eliminating something from your life is a type of cursing. To curse something means to blast it, obliterate it, or undo it. You are saying "no" to that situation. You deny its power, and you deny its effect on you.
Think about metabolism. There's always an anabolic and a catabolic phase. Magic works the same way. Blessing builds up; cursing breaks down. Cursing is the ability to negate, to banish.
Mostly, the only safe and effective kind of cursing is the one we do on problems, circumstances, thoughtforms, habits, etc. This type of cursing can be done liberally, and it should be. However, cursing people is a very different matter.
Cursing as a First Step to Forgiveness
Peace should be our ultimate goal. However, it’s dishonest to pretend you’re not angry when you are. If someone harms you and you immediately jump to “forgiveness,” it’s like not allowing yourself to grieve when someone passes away. None of us can skip those steps. Allow yourself to feel what you feel, and instead of just being upset, use that emotion to do something about it—turning cursing into your form of alchemical magic on yourself.
Remember that when you curse someone else, you’re automatically cursing yourself. You cannot inflict on another what you do not inflict on yourself. Even if the curse is justified, understand that you’re also cursing yourself. This means the universe will hold you accountable for your own wrongdoings just as firmly and quickly as it does for the person you curse—and rightly so. In short, keep your side of the street very clean, especially if you’re cursing someone.
Forgiveness and Accountability
Forgiveness becomes easier once someone has faced the consequences of their actions. An apology alone is often not enough; there needs to be a sense of justice or accountability. You must do what is necessary to achieve that sense of inner resolution. Cursing someone can be part of this process.
I’m not suggesting you curse everyone who annoys you, but it's important to recognize that you have this tool available if needed. You are not powerless. If someone has truly hurt or abused you, it’s disrespectful to yourself to forgive them immediately. Forgiveness is a process, and there are times you need to curse first before you can genuinely forgive.
The Ethics of Cursing
Cursing is powerful and sacred. Before you place a curse, ask yourself if cursing is the only way for you to find peace. Cursing is serious business. When you send out a curse, there is no taking it back. Often, there are other routes you can take to gain peace and justice. But there are times when cursing someone is the only way to protect yourself, to claim divine restitution, and have peace of mind. Just remember that cursing isn't child's play. You are dealing with powerful energy; you must proceed with care and respect.
The Psalmic Curses: A Safer Approach
In my experience, the safest way to curse is through Psalmic curses: they are not only effective but don’t pose the dangers most other forms of baneful magic pose. Psalmic curses have built-in protections and safeguards that prevent harm to you if you curse someone undeservedly. The psalms automatically adjust the curse to avoid negative consequences. When justified, the curses produce powerful and effective results.
Psalmic curses are not only effective but also ultimately promote restitution and wholeness. They help address the need for accountability and retribution, while ultimately leading you to release. When you finally forgive the wrongdoer, you'll realize that you didn’t do it for them; you did it for yourself. By forgiving, you gain peace of mind after honestly facing the harm that was done and calling for Divine accountability and restitution.
The Dangers of Reckless Cursing
Cursing should never be used lightly or as entertainment. Those who curse out of annoyance or petty grievances often face serious consequences, as their negative energy comes back to them. Reckless cursing can ruin lives, and in some cases, even cause death.
The psalmic curses, however, act as a safeguard. They ensure curses are only effective when justified, steering misguided energy toward positive outcomes. Think of Psalmic Curses as pressing charges under Divine Law rather than using vigilante justice.
The Power of the Ten-Day Psalmic Curse
The Ten Day Psalmic Curse is deeply rooted in spiritual tradition and have been used for centuries to seek justice and protect oneself from harm. They involve the use of ten cursing Psalms, such as 7, 35, 55, 58, 59, 69, 79, 109, 137, and 139, each believed to hold divine energy capable of enforcing justice. When these Psalms are combined with the Psalm Magic Formula—working one Psalm each day for ten days—they tend to bring powerful, noticeable results.
It’s important to remember that the goal of Psalmic curses is not to cause harm indiscriminately. Instead, they are meant to confront injustice and hold wrongdoers accountable. Often used as a last resort against bullies, abusers, or those who’ve caused significant pain, a Psalmic curse channels divine energy to restore justice and protect from further harm. Psalmic curses blend spiritual strength with moral responsibility, offering a way for us to seek resolution and safety when all other options have been exhausted.
Conclusion
Cursing is a sacred and serious practice that should not be used lightly. It can serve as a powerful tool on the path to forgiveness, peace, and accountability. When used properly, the psalmic curses can help you achieve fairness and healing without negative consequences. By honestly addressing harm and holding others accountable, you can find the wholeness and harmony you seek.
Blessed be.
