In other, witchier news, I did my most intense working yet a couple months back:
A friend of mine had a lot of problems that just would. Not. Stop. Health issues, family issues, financial stress, people just being The Worst for absolutely no reason--she and I even both started having nightmares about her, her house, her family... she mentioned maybe being cursed. Naturally I, following that thread in my own over-analytical way, checked about 5 different ways to see if she was cursed/hexed/jinxed or just having a rough time. All methods pointed to "most definitely cursed".
After telling her this, she requested I put together some kind of removal/return of whatever that was and a protection for her, her home, and her family. Of course! Anything to help her be able to sleep easier and maybe clear up some other problems while we're at it. Is it real? Is it bullshit? Fuck if I know man I just work here, but I'm willing to do the research into things people say works and try some DIY.
Got everything together, did a 3-part ritual (Remove, Return, Protect) out on the front porch with her. Some weird shit happened in the middle but that's a bit much to share imo.
After all was said and done she told me she felt like a weight had been lifted. We both noticed we were feeling less tense. Since then her problems have been taken down significantly. Not fully (obviously life still happens and people are still just shitty sometimes) but enough that I fully believe we took care of the root of something that night, whether magical or psychological. Just like if you have a medical problem you need medical solution, she had a spiritual problem and needed a spiritual solution.
