As the title states, this is what I’ve learned. It is all based on my experiences, opinions, and personal knowledge. Most of it comes from my grimoire.
What Is A Curse?
A curse is a type of spell a person can cast on you. It can cause misfortune, health issues, financial issues, relationship issues, even in some cases death.
What About Hexes & Jinxes?
I also want to define hexes & jinxes before we get too into this.
• Jinxes •
Temporary, can last hours, are just meant to cause a bit of bad lack but nothing too serious, are for a bit of fun or to teach someone a simple lesson.
• Hexes •
Also temporary, but have greater effects, they’re a lot more curse like in that they can teach more vital lessons and can cause things like sickness.
• Curses •
Permanent, can cause death, they’re for the worst, nastiest people, and the most intense situations.
In other words, they’re all negative spells. Just 3 different levels of them. The main difference is curses are permanent, the others are not, and a jinx certainly wouldn’t cause death or permanently effect someones well-being.
Are They Okay?
I used to wonder this myself and have seen TONS of people ask it. It’s a matter of morality. I can’t tell you what to believe or think. It’s about you and your path.
How Do I Know If I’m Cursed?
There are symptoms, I’ll go over all the ones I’m aware of.
• Bad Luck/Misfortune
• Lack of motivation
• Nightmares
• Bad Omens
• Personal items going missing
• Plants dying
• Fatigue
• Health issues/sickness
• Financial issues
All and any of these things can happen, they will come along suddenly and have no other explanation other than a curse.
How To Test If You’re Cursed
Okay, you’ve identified you’ve got some of the symptoms, you can’t find any other reason or suspect someone specific has cursed you. The next step is testing to be sure. Here are my personal favorite ways to test for curses.
The Egg Test
Break an egg, what you find inside will give you insight.
• Blood • You’re cursed •
• White clots/chunks • There is no curse, but there is something clotting you or your life up •
• Broken yolk • There is no curse, but you have inner turmoil and need to work on it •
Divination Test
Ask whatever forms of divination you may have if you’re cursed.
Deity Test
I don’t do deity work, but I also imagine it’d be an option to ask your deities if you’re cursed.
What To Do Next?
Alright, so you’ve looked at the symptoms, they’re unusual for you. You did the tests, you’ve come to conclusion you’re cursed. Now what?
• Cleansing
Cleansing is one of the foundations of witchcraft, use your favorite forms of cleansing to cleanse your space. This is a default for many witchy issues or situations anyways. But it’s a good reminder.
• Crystals
Use crystals as sources of positivity, luck, healing. To combat the symptoms of the curse. Also any crystals you can keep near you for protection will help too.
• Salt bath
This a method of cleansing yourself, it may get the curse off of you. It may also help if you found something unusual in your egg (that is if you did the egg test).
• Warding
This is another thing that’s very common and simple, but effective, ward yourself and your space to make sure nothing else that’s bad or unwanted gets in.
• Deities
You could ask your deities to help remove the curse or ask them what you should do about it.
• Other witches
Ask other more experienced witches what their experiences with curses are and they they recommend, get some feedback. Posts like this are nice but so is talking to someone and hearing their experiences!
Here’s some types of spells you could use to help you!
Spells
• Return to sender spell
• Protection spell
• Remove curse spell (of course)

I’m sure I’ll add more to this in the future. I hope someone learned something!
Enjoy!
Have a lovely day (right after I just went on about curses and death for quite a while) 💖
