00:00:06.360 --> 00:00:26.600
Yeah, I'm still waiting for you. Hi. Everyone, thanks for listening

2
00:00:26.679 --> 00:00:30.719
to Shoes, booz and Tattoos.
As always, I'm just I'm your host.

3
00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:35.240
Now here is your warning before we
get started. I mentioned it in

4
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:39.439
the last episode. This episode,
as you can see from the title,

5
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:48.439
is on curses, specifically from a
witchcraft perspective. What they are, how

6
00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:53.399
to do them, things you might
use for them. It's a simplified explanation

7
00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:58.679
of how to do these things and
to take a different kind of look at

8
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:06.159
them. Now that being said,
if you are against witchcraft, don't listen.

9
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:11.920
If you are against cursing, don't
listen. I don't want to hear

10
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:19.359
any complaints. You have been warned. Now another quick warning. I have

11
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:25.280
no notes on this. This is
something that I get very excited about talking

12
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:27.280
about. I guess you could say, I have a note card here with

13
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:32.680
like eight bullet points, and then
I looked up a couple of things as

14
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:38.560
well that we could talk about.
I do have opinions on this. Everybody

15
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:42.079
does, and that's fine. We'll
cover that a little bit more here in

16
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:53.840
just a little bit. But let's
get into cursing. Now. I've already

17
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:57.560
said if you are against cursing to
not listen. Some people do follow this

18
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:04.159
threefold law that WI can kind of
belief that whatever you put out is going

19
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:07.479
to come back times three. This
is not something I subscribe to. This

20
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:13.000
isn't something that I believe. I
think there is a balance to an extent,

21
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:21.879
but but ultimately, sometimes cursing is
necessary. That being said, if

22
00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:25.680
you are against cursing, if you
feel it is wrong, do not send

23
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:30.560
me a message complaining about it.
Also warning I'm gonna be sparing a lot.

24
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:37.800
That's a different kind of cursing.
Ha Okay, I'm going to be

25
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:42.879
a ridiculous for a minute, all
right. So one big question that I

26
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:50.599
get is what is the difference between
a curse and a hecks will. I

27
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:54.240
don't think there is much difference,
but it really does depend on who you

28
00:02:54.319 --> 00:03:00.639
ask. Some people have very strong
beliefs that there's like this or order that

29
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:07.759
they go in from least to most
dangerous. Like a jinx would be least

30
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:10.159
dangerous, just a little bit of
bad luck, quick, little spurt of

31
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:15.520
it done. Then there's the hecks
which lasts longer, can be more dangerous,

32
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:22.439
And then there's the curse that can
last years and generations. But if

33
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:25.400
we look at the definition, I
looked at a few definitions, because there's

34
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:34.319
not just one definition. So,
according to the Merriam Webster Dictionary, a

35
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:38.560
curse is a series of words calling
for harm to come to someone, a

36
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:43.719
word or expression used in swearing or
in calling for harm to come to someone,

37
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:47.400
or evil or misfortune that comes as
if an answer to someone's request.

38
00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:54.599
This is also a solemn utterance intended
to invoke supernatural power to inflict harm or

39
00:03:54.680 --> 00:04:04.000
punishment on someone or something. Okay, we get that right. Hex this

40
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:15.400
is the funny one, defined by
Mariam Webster to practice witchcraft. There's other

41
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:21.720
definitions, of course, definition in
Cambridge English Dictionary an evil spell, bringing

42
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:26.959
bad luck and trouble, or to
cast a spell on or be which.

43
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:38.160
So, in my opinion, hexes
and curses are very similar tomato tomato doesn't

44
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:43.920
fucking matter. It's the same thing. In my opinion. Maybe one is

45
00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:48.000
less severe than another, maybe there
are different thoughts on that, but to

46
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:55.879
me, they're so similar that there's
no point. There's no point in making

47
00:04:55.920 --> 00:05:00.759
a huge distinction between the two,
because overall, a curse or a hex

48
00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:06.000
is going to not be a blessing. It is the opposite of a blessing.

49
00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:11.759
You know what I mean, That's
what it is in a nutshell.

50
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:23.360
I personally do not see anything wrong
with cursing or hexing or jinxing or whatever

51
00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:29.519
you want to call it. I
will say one thing I do have a

52
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:36.600
very strong opinion on is to not
curse or hex immediately after a certain situation.

53
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:42.000
It should not be an emotional impulse. That should not be the case.

54
00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:47.600
You can't be angry about something and
then automatically decide that you're going to

55
00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:53.959
curse somebody for it. It has
to be a pretty pretty terrible thing for

56
00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:58.480
you to be able to do that. I mean, you have to be

57
00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:03.680
the best judge here. An emotional
impulse is not something you should act on.

58
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:11.160
We all know that when we are
angry or upset, we might say

59
00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:16.000
things that we later regret. Right. We all do it, whether we

60
00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:20.199
want to admit it or not.
So why would you want to do something

61
00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:28.959
like this as a retaliation and then
regret it later. It shouldn't be taken

62
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:39.000
lightly at all, So be aware
of what you're doing now. A curse

63
00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:43.560
or a hex doesn't have to be
some big, long, intricate spell either.

64
00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:50.120
It can just be a few words, a few sentences. The thing

65
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:57.560
that makes the curse or the hex
work is the emotional energy behind it.

66
00:06:58.040 --> 00:07:02.360
That focus of your energy energy into
this, And usually a spell like this

67
00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:12.639
would focus on anger, pain,
sadness, things of that nature, so

68
00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:16.439
not exactly happy emotions, so you're
not going to exactly get happy results.

69
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:23.720
I mean that kind of goes without
saying. We're talking about hexes and curses.

70
00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:30.560
We're usually upset about something when we
resort to these. Now have I

71
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:38.360
done a hex or a curse before? Yes, I have done them.

72
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:42.519
I try not to ever go overboard, especially like if I'm feeling like I

73
00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:46.720
want to do something or i want
that kind of retaliation and it could cause

74
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:56.160
some big How do I explain this? I try not to be overtly harmful

75
00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:00.639
with it, you know what I
mean. I don't want anybody to die

76
00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:03.319
because of a curse or a hex
on my behalf, you know what I

77
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:11.759
mean, So I don't. I
don't want that. So I am careful

78
00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:16.560
to not do things when I'm very
emotional or I'm very angry about something.

79
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:20.720
There have been times where I have
been tempted, and it's been very difficult

80
00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:28.279
to refrain and try to keep my
head cool because there's a couple of people,

81
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:35.679
very very few that will get to
that point with me, and I'm

82
00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:43.720
not usually like that. I'm usually
able to let everything go. And ultimately,

83
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:48.960
you have to be the best judge
when it comes to cursing as to

84
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:52.120
whether or not it's worth it.
Do you want to let it go?

85
00:08:52.639 --> 00:09:00.639
You want to carry that around with
you? There are different aren't ways to

86
00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:07.200
do curses, and it's pretty much
endless. You don't have to have any

87
00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:13.200
certain ingredients. You don't have to
have anything. Really, you could just

88
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:18.440
say a few words. But if
you're going to do like a curse jar

89
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:26.960
or something, we'll talk about that
a little bit. Ingredients, don't overthink

90
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:35.039
it, don't make it overcomplicated.
You can use so many different things.

91
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:41.519
I find stuff in my yard all
the time to use for curses or for

92
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:46.879
spells and things like that. For
cursing, you can use a number of

93
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:52.399
things. You know, those little
pricker themes that grow in your yard that

94
00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:56.679
are all You step on them and
you end up swearing like a son of

95
00:09:56.720 --> 00:10:00.879
a bitch because all those little needles
are now stuck in. You dig that

96
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:05.200
up and dry. It be very
careful, handle it with gloves, try

97
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:09.559
not to get poked. I do
this. I actually have one drying downstairs

98
00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:13.360
right now. I'll do this,
and then I'll grab it and I'll cut

99
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:18.600
a little piece off with scissors or
whatever, and I'll put an in jar.

100
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:24.840
Now, it does depend on what
you want this person to What do

101
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:33.639
you want to come about with this
curse or this hex don't be afraid to

102
00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:43.679
get creative. Say say you want
somebody to find themselves in a sticky situation

103
00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:52.519
where the truth comes out. I
would personally use things like that little pricker

104
00:10:52.559 --> 00:11:00.480
bush, any kind of glue,
anything sticky. Honey, No, don't

105
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:03.919
use honny. Honey's usually sweetened,
you know, I suppose you could use

106
00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:11.480
honey, anything sticky. Really,
if you want somebody to feel the pressure

107
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:18.120
everyone's eyes are on them, they're
gonna start doing better. I would get

108
00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:22.720
this is gonna sound silly. I
would get a balloon, Fold up this

109
00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:26.360
little teeny piece of paper with the
person's name on it, stick it into

110
00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:33.159
the balloon, put google eyes in
it, any kind of other stuff you

111
00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:39.840
want to put in it, and
then stick the balloon into a jar below

112
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:45.279
into the balloon, make sure that
it's touching all those sides, and that

113
00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:52.799
pressures up against the sides of the
jar. You don't have to overthink it.

114
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:54.759
It's a jar, a balloon,
a little scrap of paper, and

115
00:11:54.840 --> 00:12:01.879
googly eyes. It could be something
as simple as that. Or you can

116
00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:07.519
go all out, say you want
everything this person puts out to come back

117
00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:16.000
to them. Stick little little pieces
of reflective material like mirrors into this jar.

118
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:24.080
I would personally say that you could
fill it with vinegar, pe ammonia,

119
00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:28.159
catchh it. Don't fill it with
catch it. You could put something

120
00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:35.360
there, though. Cat poop is
surprisingly very good for cursing, and yes,

121
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:41.600
I do not know that from personal
experience. Think of all this stuff

122
00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:48.080
that is unpleasant that you don't want
around. I've used thorns for my rose

123
00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:56.879
bush. I've used those little pricker
bushes. Of course, mold compost,

124
00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:01.519
but not like the compost that's kind
of like dirt, like before it gets

125
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:07.240
to dirt where it's like gross and
slimy and stuff like that. I've used

126
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:15.720
worms, rust, nails, vinegar, of course, urine. You can

127
00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:18.720
use vomit. That'd be kind of
a hard one to do, though.

128
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:26.600
Usually it is best to have a
target for this though A lot of people

129
00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:28.720
do write the person's name down or
have a picture of them, or have

130
00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:35.440
one of their belongings. Sometimes you're
not able to do this, or you

131
00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:45.080
do, you don't for some reason. You can also use objects. You

132
00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:54.159
can form wax into a humanoid shape. A lot of times people used to

133
00:13:54.360 --> 00:14:01.279
use either a potato or a man
drake root or something like that that's vaguely

134
00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:09.120
humanoid shaped, and they would imbue
this with whatever curse or whatever hex they

135
00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:13.919
wanted to put on somebody because it
was a human shape this item. You

136
00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:18.200
didn't even do this with popp it. By the way, this thing would

137
00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:24.799
represent that person. It would be
that sympathetic magic that a lot of people

138
00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:37.120
use that would be intended specifically for
that person. Now, hexing and cursing

139
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:46.159
do take quite a lot of energy. This is one thing I won't tell

140
00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:52.519
you exactly how to do it or
exactly the things that I did that just

141
00:14:52.639 --> 00:15:05.720
invites that makes me leary it.
It didn't opens the door for retaliation one

142
00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:09.559
of the people that I have cursed
or hext however you want to put it.

143
00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:15.320
Basically, I wrote this person's name
down on a little piece of paper,

144
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:18.799
stuck it in a jar, put
a bunch of stuff in there that

145
00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:26.840
was just gross, including cat poop. I think there was vinegar and rusty

146
00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:35.960
nails and staples and stuff like that. And I wanted this person to specifically

147
00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:41.879
get what was coming to them,
the ramifications of their actions to be blown

148
00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:46.879
into their face. Basically, not
blown into their face. That's a bad

149
00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:54.720
oh, But I wanted this instant
karma, if you want to say,

150
00:15:54.879 --> 00:16:00.279
I can't really talk about karma too
much because I know the basic bit of

151
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:03.600
it. But karma is much much
deeper than just whatever you put out you

152
00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:10.600
get back. It's so much more
than that, and I don't have that

153
00:16:10.679 --> 00:16:14.399
complete understanding of it, and so
I don't want to really talk about that

154
00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:19.919
too much. But I wanted this
person to experience the ramifications of their actions

155
00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:29.159
more immediately or all at once.
So I have this little jar with all

156
00:16:29.159 --> 00:16:33.440
this stuff in it, this person's
name, and every time to get under

157
00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:37.960
my skin, they're being a self
entitled douche, and I get pissed off.

158
00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:42.039
Instead of dwelling on it, I
grab this jar and I shake it,

159
00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:49.600
give it a really good shake until
my frustration is subsided, and it

160
00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:59.720
never ever fails. Within a week, maybe I hear that this person is

161
00:16:59.799 --> 00:17:07.240
now how experiencing a bit of the
ramifications of their actions, whether it's arrested

162
00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:12.400
for past warrants that have been out
for years, or whatever the case may

163
00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:25.079
be. It's nice and I know
it sounds silly, but it does emotionally

164
00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:30.799
help for me. Even if I'm
just connecting dots where there really aren't dots,

165
00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:42.160
it still brings me a little closure, a little satisfaction. Now,

166
00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:48.720
when it comes to cursing, we've
mentioned that you can place curses on objects,

167
00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:52.400
on things, but it's we talked
about it more is like a type

168
00:17:52.400 --> 00:18:02.000
of symbolic or sympathetic magic to where
you are still targeting a person. You

169
00:18:02.079 --> 00:18:07.119
don't. When it comes to hexing
or cursing you a person. A target

170
00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:15.079
like a person or human being is
not always needed. We've heard of town

171
00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:22.200
curses. We've heard of the curses
on the presidents, there's curses on baseball

172
00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:32.559
teams. I mean, there doesn't
always have to be a specific, one

173
00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:41.200
person target. Now, these,
in my opinion, would take a significant

174
00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:48.400
amount of energy. It would have
to be, in my opinion, at

175
00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:56.559
least to put a curse on a
town or a generation's long curse this would

176
00:18:56.599 --> 00:19:02.200
have to be like a deathbed curse, in which case many of them are

177
00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:10.880
deserving. Do they like generational curses? Do they impact innocent people? Yes?

178
00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:18.680
But thinking about what that person went
through, that had to have gone

179
00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:26.200
through to feel the need to punish
even innocent people for this, would I

180
00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:32.680
do it? No? But then
again, I'm not in that situation.

181
00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:37.119
I've never been in it, so
I can't put myself there. I can

182
00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:40.799
say that I would like to think
that I would never do that, but

183
00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:45.759
who knows. There's a large enough
group of people that are against you,

184
00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:57.079
you might No, there are little
innocent I guess you could say curses and

185
00:19:57.160 --> 00:20:02.640
hexes that you can do but don't
really bring harm to anybody. They're more

186
00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:08.839
of an inconvenience. Those are my
favorite kind. I don't do the big

187
00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:18.000
ones very often, like experiencing the
repercussions of your own actions. I that

188
00:20:18.119 --> 00:20:23.119
was a very very special case.
That was a very personal thing. But

189
00:20:23.240 --> 00:20:30.240
most of the time, like if
somebody pisses me off, I'll do little

190
00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:37.079
little stuff that's just fucking inconvenient and
just a pain in the ass, Like,

191
00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:41.960
um, let me think, Okay, most of what I do for

192
00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:48.960
that is just through words. It's
I'm rare occasions that I'll do an actual

193
00:20:51.079 --> 00:20:53.599
curse with ingredients and actually setting something
up, because if that's the case,

194
00:20:53.640 --> 00:21:00.039
I want it to be a longer
lasting thing there. You know, most

195
00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:03.119
of the time, I just want
a little, you know, quick,

196
00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:07.440
little thing. Like I'm driving home
with my daughter the one day we were

197
00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:11.640
at the grocery store. We're making
our way home. We come to a

198
00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:18.279
four way intersection. Everybody has stop
signs. Cops sit around this intersection all

199
00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:21.799
the time waiting to catch people rolling
through, and they'll give you a fucking

200
00:21:21.799 --> 00:21:25.559
ticket for it, and it sucks. So I come to a stop.

201
00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:32.720
Right as I am fully stopped,
big truck guy comes rolling that not like

202
00:21:32.720 --> 00:21:41.519
a semitruck driver, but he's in
this giant just truck and he comes rolling

203
00:21:41.559 --> 00:21:45.799
down this hill. He barely barely
gets to the stop sign. As I'm

204
00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:52.319
like halfway through the intersection. He's
yelling at me, throwing his hands up,

205
00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:56.480
flipping me off, beeping his horn
because he wants to roll through it.

206
00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:02.880
So my daughter and I get through
the intersection and I pull into this

207
00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:07.279
little parking lot there. This is
kind of like off of the main roads

208
00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:11.119
and everything there but there's a few
buildings back there, and I pulled into

209
00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:17.880
the parking lot. I watched his
truck go up the one hill and I

210
00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:25.039
just said that I hoped that the
universe would make him slow down and realize

211
00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:29.640
what he's doing. Something along those
lines. It wasn't exactly like that.

212
00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:34.680
I don't remember the exact words I
said, but as I said that,

213
00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:47.039
there was a forklush pulling out of
the one development area pulled out and he

214
00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:52.359
gets stuck behind it. My daughter
looks at me like, oh, that's

215
00:22:52.400 --> 00:22:56.519
amazing. I was like that.
I think was just complete coincidence because I

216
00:22:56.559 --> 00:23:03.200
didn't even know that was there.
But that was just an interesting one and

217
00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:07.559
it did make him slow down quite
a bit. I mean, I don't

218
00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:11.200
think they made it over ten miles
an hour going over this hill, and

219
00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:14.119
there was traffic coming the other way
so we couldn't go around. Plus it's

220
00:23:14.119 --> 00:23:22.240
a hill, double solid laying there. Little stuff like that. A reasonable

221
00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:26.359
person that can kind of put that
stuff aside and go fuck, I'm acting

222
00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:32.359
like a douche, which not everybody's
like that, And I'm sure this guy

223
00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:37.920
just got more and more and more
upset as the day went along. No

224
00:23:37.960 --> 00:23:41.559
idea. What happened to him after
that? I've never seen the truck again.

225
00:23:41.960 --> 00:23:45.759
Nothing. I mean, it's just
been litle little stuff like that,

226
00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:51.279
like I hope a bird poops on
your shoe, or you know, things

227
00:23:51.319 --> 00:23:57.319
like that, little stupid, annoying, inconvenient things. Those are my favorite

228
00:23:57.680 --> 00:24:04.319
because it's that little bit of getting
back at somebody for an outburst like that

229
00:24:04.680 --> 00:24:08.799
while also trying to teach them to
chill out a little bit. You know,

230
00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:15.480
no matter where I go, what
I do, I always try to

231
00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:21.559
be polite, consider it and nice
to everybody because I don't know what anybody

232
00:24:21.559 --> 00:24:26.599
else is going through. But when
it comes to stuff like that, you

233
00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:37.039
don't have the right to just take
out your emotions on strangers because if you

234
00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:38.799
do that, then they have the
right to go right back at you with

235
00:24:38.880 --> 00:24:45.720
it. It's one of those things
like I hate hate, hate, hate,

236
00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:52.279
hate hate when people say you'll get
respect when it's earned. Everybody deserves

237
00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:59.240
respect right off the bat. Everybody
does. You would like to be respected

238
00:24:59.680 --> 00:25:03.920
right off the bat, right so
why not give that right off the bat.

239
00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:11.000
That's how you're gonna get it.
You treat other people the way you

240
00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:15.480
want them to treat you. If
you're a douche. All that's saying is

241
00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:18.119
I want to be treated like I'm
a douche, and that's exactly what you

242
00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:26.119
end up getting. Now, there
are some people that this is not something

243
00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:32.839
I do. There are some people
that involve deities in cursing and texting.

244
00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:40.960
These are usually much bigger and much
more dangerous in my opinion. Usually when

245
00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:48.400
you start involving spirits or other deities, it's for physical, spiritual, emotional,

246
00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:59.680
psychological harm. I've never intentionally done
something to harm somebody. It's always

247
00:25:59.720 --> 00:26:07.319
been an attempt to get my little
my little jab in or to help them

248
00:26:07.480 --> 00:26:15.920
learn to fucking quit. You know, I do not think it's personally okay.

249
00:26:17.160 --> 00:26:22.359
Personally, I don't think it's a
good idea to involve entities, deities,

250
00:26:22.279 --> 00:26:30.759
anything outside of our existence into spelts
like this. You are plenty to

251
00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:33.160
be able to do these little things
on your own. Don't go overboard.

252
00:26:36.720 --> 00:26:41.039
Yes, there may be times where
somebody deserves it, but that's not for

253
00:26:41.160 --> 00:26:49.359
us to decide, especially when it
comes to physical harm. I don't think

254
00:26:49.359 --> 00:26:53.039
it's right for us to do that, so I won't encourage you to do

255
00:26:53.119 --> 00:26:59.400
it. If you do it,
you do you don't involve me, don't

256
00:27:00.839 --> 00:27:04.759
You didn't hear about it from me. But just be careful with what you

257
00:27:04.880 --> 00:27:11.799
do, because who knows. Maybe
I'm wrong, and this whole what goes

258
00:27:11.839 --> 00:27:18.480
around comes around the thing is true, and you never know, You never

259
00:27:18.559 --> 00:27:25.759
know what's going to happen. Plus, if somebody see you're cursing another witch,

260
00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:32.480
if they pick up on this and
they realize you're doing this, you

261
00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:41.359
bet you better be guarded because you
very well might get exactly what's your addition

262
00:27:41.440 --> 00:27:48.279
out back times a bunch never ever
ever curse somebody without it being for damn

263
00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:56.680
good reason. I do want to
talk about binding really quick, because this

264
00:27:56.960 --> 00:28:04.160
kind of falls into this category worry. I stay away from binding completely.

265
00:28:07.160 --> 00:28:12.000
I don't want to do it.
I've always felt uncomfortable with the whole binding

266
00:28:12.039 --> 00:28:17.599
thing, and a lot of you
might be familiar with binding because of the

267
00:28:17.640 --> 00:28:22.039
movie The Craft. I bind you, Nancy from doing harm, harm against

268
00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:26.759
other people, in harm against yourself, that whole spiel. The way I

269
00:28:26.799 --> 00:28:33.240
feel when you bind somebody, When
you bind somebody from being able to do

270
00:28:33.279 --> 00:28:38.480
anything magic, hurting other people,
being a dick wad, I feel like

271
00:28:38.640 --> 00:28:45.240
you're essentially putting them on a leash
and connecting it to yourself. You're binding

272
00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:51.039
them to you because you are controlling
that bind you know what I mean.

273
00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:56.559
It's not just tying them up and
then running and leaving. You're connected somehow

274
00:28:56.599 --> 00:29:02.440
to this too, because it is
your power keeping them bound. So I

275
00:29:02.519 --> 00:29:07.119
choose not to bind because that's the
way I see it. Some people see

276
00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:10.759
it very differently, and they bind
all the time, and really you shouldn't

277
00:29:10.759 --> 00:29:15.640
be doing that. You don't stop
it unless it's on like murderers, pedophiles,

278
00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:19.519
stuff like that, and you don't
feel that you're now going to be

279
00:29:19.559 --> 00:29:23.480
bound to them for some reason or
another. You do you, you do

280
00:29:23.599 --> 00:29:30.119
you. I will not do that
just because I feel like I will now

281
00:29:30.200 --> 00:29:36.119
be bound to them in one way
or another. So I'm uncomfortable doing that.

282
00:29:37.079 --> 00:29:41.680
I'm sure. I'm sure there's a
lot that I kind of skipped over

283
00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:51.599
or just poofed on by. Oh, crystals, I don't know a lot

284
00:29:51.640 --> 00:29:57.279
about crystals, however, I will
say, with cursing, hexing things like

285
00:29:57.319 --> 00:30:02.039
that, the only one I can
think of off the top of my head

286
00:30:02.400 --> 00:30:07.119
that would be useful it's clear courts. And that's just because it amplifies everything

287
00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:14.759
I would also be very cautious about
using that crystal for something else again.

288
00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:19.599
Once it's used for something like that, I would just leave it to be

289
00:30:19.799 --> 00:30:23.440
used like that or one of those
things that if it's just a hex and

290
00:30:23.519 --> 00:30:29.960
it's a quick one, set it
outside. Either some kind of fay or

291
00:30:30.079 --> 00:30:37.440
animal will get it. Ultimately you
probably don't need it anymore if it's a

292
00:30:37.440 --> 00:30:42.000
big one. Don't use a big
one for a temporary thing like that unless

293
00:30:42.039 --> 00:30:49.960
you're willing for it to just be
for that. How to remove curses,

294
00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:59.400
honestly, it depends on the curse. Depends on the curse and who put

295
00:30:59.440 --> 00:31:07.000
it. An acknowledgement, a cleansing, and a kind of like return to

296
00:31:07.160 --> 00:31:14.200
sender type spell usually does it.
Mirrors are a very good tool for deflecting

297
00:31:14.240 --> 00:31:18.960
things like that. Carrying black tourmaline
just kind of puts a barrier between you

298
00:31:18.319 --> 00:31:23.960
and any kind of negative impacts like
that. That's why that's another reason why

299
00:31:23.960 --> 00:31:29.839
I carry black tourmaline all the time, is because it is a protective type

300
00:31:29.839 --> 00:31:34.599
thing, breaking them once you got
them. I mean, it really depends

301
00:31:34.680 --> 00:31:38.720
on the type of curse, and
that's hard to tell unless you know exactly

302
00:31:38.720 --> 00:31:44.680
who placed it, in which case
they are able to take it off,

303
00:31:44.839 --> 00:31:48.759
they're able to stop it, remove
it many times, either just letting it

304
00:31:48.759 --> 00:31:56.880
go and running water or burning it, disposing of it, not burying it.

305
00:31:56.960 --> 00:32:00.359
Bearing it's not gonna work because it's
just gonna stay there, but dumping

306
00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:06.079
it out, things like that,
that is going to break a type of

307
00:32:06.400 --> 00:32:09.960
curse like that. If it's just
words and the person say the person's dead,

308
00:32:13.599 --> 00:32:17.519
that's where it becomes a little troublesome
because it does depend on the strength

309
00:32:17.559 --> 00:32:22.680
of it, what kind of curse
it is, and it takes trial and

310
00:32:22.839 --> 00:32:31.279
error sometimes to break them. I
mean, best bet. If you don't

311
00:32:31.279 --> 00:32:38.519
know how to break your curse,
don't do it. Don't do one as

312
00:32:38.559 --> 00:32:45.920
a practitioner unless you are absolutely one
percent sure that, say you change your

313
00:32:45.920 --> 00:32:49.960
mind at some point and you can
just remove it, you can stop it

314
00:32:50.039 --> 00:32:58.559
exactly where it's at. Don't do
it unless you can do that. In

315
00:32:58.680 --> 00:33:00.559
order to do its bell you need
to know how to break your spell.

316
00:33:02.680 --> 00:33:06.720
In order to do a curse,
you need to know how to break one.

317
00:33:10.480 --> 00:33:16.960
This is simple stuff. It's like
in order to cook, you need

318
00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:22.119
to know how to eat. You
know, these are things that can be

319
00:33:22.359 --> 00:33:28.359
very dangerous. That's why I stick
to the little bullshit annoying ones. I'm

320
00:33:28.400 --> 00:33:31.119
a pain in the ass for people
at a rood, I mean, and

321
00:33:31.160 --> 00:33:35.440
i'mill always. I always, always, always try to be nice, even

322
00:33:35.480 --> 00:33:39.200
if they're a dick to me.
I will always try to be nice because

323
00:33:39.240 --> 00:33:44.279
I don't know what's going on with
them, but I might send that little

324
00:33:44.319 --> 00:33:49.279
signal like, hey, stop taking
it out on other people, that kind

325
00:33:49.319 --> 00:33:59.200
of thing. So what are your
guys' opinions on cursing you for it in

326
00:33:59.240 --> 00:34:02.839
the right circumstan dances? Are you
against it completely? Are you comfortable with

327
00:34:02.880 --> 00:34:06.720
it? Are you uncomfortable with it? Have you ever done a curse?

328
00:34:07.359 --> 00:34:14.159
What was the outcome? Let me
know, because I am very very curious

329
00:34:14.159 --> 00:34:19.760
about this with other people, because
I do only do the little quick I

330
00:34:19.840 --> 00:34:23.199
guess you could define it, or
use some people's definition as a jinx of

331
00:34:23.239 --> 00:34:29.039
a jinx to describe more the little
things that I do. I do have

332
00:34:29.119 --> 00:34:35.360
one hex or a curse set in
place that is a long term one or

333
00:34:35.400 --> 00:34:39.159
a recurring one. But that's the
only one, and that is extremely,

334
00:34:39.360 --> 00:34:46.440
extremely deserving, and it took me
years to finally do it. It was

335
00:34:46.480 --> 00:34:51.880
just one of those points where I
felt I had to and things I've gotten

336
00:34:51.920 --> 00:34:55.559
a lot better than fun. But
let me know what you guys think.

337
00:34:55.920 --> 00:35:00.480
Let me know if you've tried curses. Also, feel free to send me

338
00:35:00.880 --> 00:35:06.400
any questions you have. You don't
have to jump head first into this and

339
00:35:07.280 --> 00:35:12.719
guess if you do have questions,
let me know, because I would much

340
00:35:13.320 --> 00:35:21.360
much rather you'd be safe rather than
ask for help later and you regret what

341
00:35:21.480 --> 00:35:24.400
you have done. Always make sure
you can get yourself out of situations like

342
00:35:24.480 --> 00:35:30.599
this. But let me know what
your experience with curses have been. Do

343
00:35:30.639 --> 00:35:34.960
you think somebody has cursed you?
Have you ever cursed somebody? Have you

344
00:35:35.000 --> 00:35:37.119
gotten rid of a curse? Have
you broken one? Let me know.

345
00:35:38.239 --> 00:35:44.400
As always, you can reach me
Shoes, Boos and Tattoos Facebook and instagram,

346
00:35:44.760 --> 00:35:49.280
spt pod on Twitter, or Shoes, Boos and Tattoos at gmail dot

347
00:35:49.320 --> 00:35:52.119
com. You can go into the
Facebook group. We like to post a

348
00:35:52.119 --> 00:35:57.280
bunch of dumb stuff in there all
the time, but we also do talk

349
00:35:57.320 --> 00:36:01.079
a lot about witchcraft. We'll have
little memes floating around here and there,

350
00:36:01.119 --> 00:36:07.360
and I would love to start having
discussions about some of the episodes, some

351
00:36:07.440 --> 00:36:12.559
of them like last weeks I was
over. I was done with it.

352
00:36:12.639 --> 00:36:15.079
Once it was done, I didn't
want to be talking about it anymore.

353
00:36:15.440 --> 00:36:19.880
But stuff like this, I would
love, love, love, love to

354
00:36:20.079 --> 00:36:23.719
have an open kind of conversation with
everybody on there, just to see what

355
00:36:23.760 --> 00:36:30.920
everybody's thoughts and feelings are. Be
respectful. Everybody's going to have different opinions,

356
00:36:31.960 --> 00:36:37.840
so please respect that for everybody just
as well. The last episode,

357
00:36:37.599 --> 00:36:44.760
I did say that I will be
skipping payment for April for Patreon, so

358
00:36:44.800 --> 00:36:47.280
if you want to try it out
for a month see how you like it.

359
00:36:47.800 --> 00:36:55.360
I post a bonus story and a
bonus video once every month. Feel

360
00:36:55.360 --> 00:37:00.199
free to go on there and look
again. Quick warning. The thumbnail else

361
00:37:00.199 --> 00:37:05.360
for the videos are ridiculous because I
have no idea how to operate YouTube as

362
00:37:05.360 --> 00:37:09.159
far as like uploading stuff. I
can watch a video, but I don't

363
00:37:09.159 --> 00:37:14.679
know what to do with the thumbnails, and YouTube picks the most ridiculous face

364
00:37:14.760 --> 00:37:17.880
that I make and decides that is
not going to be the thumbnail. If

365
00:37:17.880 --> 00:37:22.199
you want to help the show,
you can always leave a five star review

366
00:37:22.400 --> 00:37:25.039
iTunes, Stitcher, I don't know
where else. If you can leave a

367
00:37:25.039 --> 00:37:30.920
review, please do. Thank you
all so much for listening I'll see you

368
00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:45.280
