Is this a curse or am I just unlucky.

I have been doing a lot of reading lately and have always been interested in the mechanics of cursing. I have never performed a curse and would never ever want to but my interest in them is based on my belief that "a witch cannot heal if a witch cannot harm" (a doctor cannot prescribe med's without understanding the symptoms). The idea being that if I was to have a friend of mine come to me with a curse problem then I would need to know the basics of cursing to be able to undo the magick done to my friend and heal any damage that was done as a result.

What I do know about cursing people is that the ritual can be quite labour intensive. I have all ways found that magick seems to flow quite well with me and that most things come naturally and move with some ease but to think that I would have to push and push hard to make a spell work sits wrong in my gut. Then there is the fact of trade??? OK so in magick there is a certain amount of trade of for the desired effects like an offering to divinity/spirits but most of the time I conjure up the energy I need with my own brand of magickal mojo. This is my favourite part of magick, simply because I get to just let my emotions and my creativity run rampant and create something energetic, powerful and positive.

How would I do this for a curse? The very thought makes me uneasy. How would I dance if my magick was to cause harm, what would I sing if my magick was to kill and what would I offer? A life for a life???????
No.........I think that's as much as I need to know. The idea that this power exists is like the knowledge that nuclear weapons are running rampant in the world with irresponsible people holding the buttons.

Writing this makes me think of what possible reasons could I have to perform a curse and would there ever be a time when someone deserved it and it makes me think of the man and woman in the news lately that burned there 6 children alive in there own home. I think of Hitler and them men that were under his command that caused such atrocities in the world. Where would you curse where would you not and is it enough for you to let karma work its own brand of magick. I'm not sure that if I knew there was one man to blame for the suffering of thousands that I hand on heart wouldn't curse him. But i suppose this is what makes me part of the world we live in, we can all change our ways based on the experiences of our lives.

OOOOOOO well HA HA HA  that was long winded and pointless but I feel better for writing it. I hope I don't have to worry about cursing people and if I ever do that the situation is easily worked out another way. This is a weapon in my arsenal that I never want to use and I have never been happier to admit that I am scared of something HA HA HA even if it simply because my fear drives me to look for alternatives.
