Jinxes, Hexes and Curses. What's the difference?
Hey loves!
Sooo turns out I had this doubt too. But the marvellous @lavenderlundi was kind enough to explain it to me!
"A curse is a long term spell designed to inflict serious harm onto another person, even in some cases to kill them or bring about a misfortune which would cause them lethal harm. Curses can hurt people physically, mentally, and emotionally and can last from a few months, to a few years, to a lifetime if left unbroken.
A hex is usually less serious than a curse and usually doesn’t bring serious harm to the victim. But these usually bring lots of misfortune onto the victim. Hexes are relatively short term.
Jinxes are simple spells which don’t harm anyone but usually prevent them from doing tasks or things that they can usually do. Such as not being able to speak clearly in front of a crowd, walk without stumbling, not be clumsy, etc. Jinxes are very short term and a very mild, harmless (and sometimes fun) way to get back at someone."
But what about your own protection, kind witch? Do you have to cast a circle or cleanse your practicing area?
"It really depends witch to witch.
I always suggest to cleanse the space before and after to prevent the negative energy from doing any harm.
And I only say this because some may see casting a circle as a Wiccan tradition or may not agree with it. So just suggesting to cleanse your space before and after is a nice secular way to inform everyone to stay safe and protected <3"
Well now isn't that enlightening? Thank you very much, @lavenderlundi !
Please, don't ruin someone else's life over petty matters. Sometimes it is indeed better to solve matters with your own hands, but measure your feelings and analyse them very well before taking any drastic measures.
By the way, we just hit 2000 FOLLOWERS!!! You know I can never thank you enough for the love and support you all give me! <3
Soo that's it! Have fun jinxing (not too much tho) and stay safe cursing! <3
