Or not. I don't want harm to befall anyone its not my way. The idea that someone is suffering and afraid upsets me.
I want reparation and apologies. I want to know that the perpetrators of the horrors of the last five years have learned their lesson, paid their debt and will never assault anyone in such a way again.
Changing the subject somewhat I believe in Witchcraft that doesn't mean I dance naked under a full or any other moon, nor does it mean that I must or will do anything other than be myself. The first and only real requirement to be a witch is that we be ourselves.
I have frequently said I don't believe curses should be chucked around like confetti at a wedding. A curse is a powerful and dangerous thing. It is magic and all magic is energy. No one would expect their car to run without petrol, no one should expect magic to work without energy.
A curse is in some ways the same as a spell we give some of ourselves to it, the energy of a spell or curse comes from us it is in a way the very essence of us and it is not confined to Witches or any other Pagan faith.
It is said that in Foxford Co Mayo in 1951 a priest was so disgusted by the antics of the winning GAA team that he raised his finger, pointed at the team and declared that Mayo would not win such a championship again until all the members of that particular team had died. No one knows the name of the priest or if the story is true or false but what we all know is that Mayo have not won the championship since the year the priest is said to have cursed the team.
When I was a child pointing was considered very rude none of us were allowed to point at anyone. Maybe its changed so many old courtesies have gone and no real harm done. Thing is in folklore pointing is a way of cursing. Lacking a wand a witch can point to the object of her ire and zap the offending thing or bastard.
You see you don't need an elaborate altar, fancy dress or cauldron they are merely for show. The essential thing all Witches must have for spells or curses is energy or as some would say magic. We are all energy and water. Ireland is practically drowning and its energy feels very low perhaps that's one of the reasons for its never ending malaise.
To me a spell is a wish and a deed, a curse though is very different. A curse is not a toy or a gun its the nuclear option. the fallout as raw and unexpected as the curse the old priest laid on Mayo and all the innocent people involved. Be careful what you wish for and remember first: Do No Harm.
