Curse
A
curse (also called a
jinx,
hex or
execration) is any expressed
wish that some form of
adversity or misfortune will befall or attach to some other
entity—one or more persons, a place, or an object. In particular, "curse" may refer to a wish that harm or hurt will be inflicted by any
supernatural powers, such as a
spell, a
prayer, an imprecation, an execration,
magic,
witchcraft,
God, a
natural force, or a
spirit. In many belief systems, the curse itself (or accompanying
ritual) is considered to have some causative force in the result. To reverse or eliminate a curse is called
removal or
breaking, and is often believed to require equally elaborate rituals or prayers.
