There is an unspoken rule regarding hexing and cursing among many witches. Hexing and cursing are also very tricky and must be done under such specific circumstances that even if you do everything right, one missed detail and it might backfire, and then you wind up hexing or cursing yourself.

The Rule:

“Don’t hex or curse anyone who has not personally, directly, and intentionally harmed you.”

So people who have done things to hurt you purposely towards you and specifically you.

This means:

• If they hurt you accidentally? Don’t hex or curse them.
• That troll online? Don’t hex or curse them.
• The person you had a disagreement with? Nope.
• That politician who keeps implementing laws that might harm people? Sorry, no.
• That person who threatened to hex or curse you? No.

• Someone who bullied you? You could.
• An abuser? Definitely.
• Someone who keeps doing things on purpose to sabotage you or defame you? Also yes.

Things can get tricky when you enter the nitty-gritty of it all.

Then, you must be specific in your hex or curse; you must ensure this hex or curse will not harm anyone else in the process. “Friendly fire” is not acceptable.

I never hex or curse!

It goes against my core values as a human being and against my personal beliefs and values and the rules I follow as a witch. The main rule most witches follow is: Whatever you do, do not harm anyone else.

Hence, hexing or cursing someone, even with good reason, is me intentionally harming someone else. So I just don’t do it.

What happens if a hex or curse backfires on you?
