Today I learned

Hi! I love your blog and I hope you don't mind me asking but do you have any info on any precautions about casting curses? Like I know how to curse, and how to undo it, but are there any consequences I should be aware of? Are there precautions I should take? Is all that stuff about it coming back to bite you true? Sorry if I'm being a bother but everyone seems to gloss over that part when they talk about casting curses and I don't want to do something dumb if I ever decide to try it

From what I’ve understood, the biggest precautions you cantake when you curse is shielding yourself, as to protect yourself from arebound, or the curse going wrong. You might also want to cleanse yourselfbefore you curse, and ensure that you’re in the right head-space before youcurse, as to not put yourself in danger.

That said, the stuff about your curse coming back IS NOTTRUE. It isn’t something that happens all the time, and if it does it’s eitherbecause the person you cursed sent our curse back to you, or because you didsomething wrong. I even accidentally cursed myself once.

That’s a wiccan belief known as the 3-fold law and does notin any way, shape, or form apply to your craft.

Some people suggest divination before you curse, but I personallythink it’s up to you (though I do consult my pendulums before I do anythingbig).

Make sure your intent and your target is clear. I believe my failure to do that was how I ended up cursing myself. 

Also look into gems to protect yourself—especially the darkones. They usually absorb negative energy.

This all said, I recommend continuing to do research beforeyour curse, just to make sure you do so safely and efficiently! I am not an expert on cursing, and when I curse or hex, I usually do so sloppily. So I invite others who are more knowledgeable in this area to add on!

Just a few flowers I’d put in the “goth section” of my dream garden, alongside gargoyles. I’d probably throw in some Persian shield for foliage, maybe some other dark coleus.
