A person I know did a ritual to curse a woman and take away the thing she loved the most and the next day someone let her dog out by accident and it got hit by a car and killed. The dog was the thing she loved the most, that was accurate. It devastated her.
I'm not sure if I believe in curses but I believe that intention can be a powerful thing and so I am not sure I don't believe in curses either.
I do believe in being nice to people, though.

More or less brutal than the Hope diamond?

Angels and Demons watch over me.
I think everyone has them watching over them. Some more than others .my youngest son, Ive had psychics tell me he is very protected. And it was odd because I didn't bring him up. I feel I protect myself and am unaware of others protecting me. Yet aware that they probably are.

Don't most people who believe in stuff like that believe in some version of the 3 fold rule that claims that whatever energy and intention they send out returns 3 fold?
I've met some interesting people who believe that kind of thing. That cursing others just curses yourself.

Yeah I assume they are either willing to take the blow back, or are just ignorant, or use tricks like informing in some way which implies consent(?) as done in entertainment media. This may relate to astrals feeding on life force of others which maintains their bodies whereas if/when the astral body dies they fall.

I think the high price of cursing others is delightfully evident in the teachings of Obeah.

And, they say sevenfold.
And, they say bless your enemies.
If you do a reading on actual, trained yogis, like from Tibet, each separate school is projecting their own version of what they consider to be beneficial energies.
But, if you raise your own energy:
Also, there seems to be bad, bad luck in blessing what is evil, afaic. As in freak accidents that happen in ironic ways.

Bless your enemies, yet bad luck in blessing what is evil, a good reason to offer intention to the High, giving up fruits though it may be particular.

It sounds like a contradiction.
When it says to bless your enemies, I assume it means, contenders from the same team?
The (re)peopling of Canaan was supposed to be genocidal.

Just randomly one may be moved to direct attention to someone for benefit, yet doesn't know their moral nature. There may be a difference then in giving energy or otherwise asking for light for them, say. It's been said we don't want to give energy to someone who will be stronger for it to commit an unworthy act.

Some people think that I am imposingly large. My fight-flight-freeze response tells me to jump the shark.
I have been mortified.
I know the difference between what is objective and subjective and normative and speculative.
Call me superstitious.
If you want to say that some chicken has laid a square egg, the cow gave curdled milk, and a river ran backwards, etc, etc, etc. I have received what I religiously consider to be a version of negative feedback or a bad omen, if you prefer.

If you have a curse how do you get rid of it?
I have 2 curses.
1. Losing or collapsing at games at the worst possible time.
2. Not being able to keep a steady workout routine. Yoga, weight lifting etc.

Well, that all comes down to who put it on you.
Also what was done to curse you.
Usually you can get rid of a curse by just having good vibes. If you entreat another spirit. A positive one. And they give you their blessing. That can cancel out a curse. Getting incredibly good luck out of nowhere. Can also reset some of your curses. Depends really.

Do you believe those were unexplainable coincidences, or would it fall under personal discipline, though? Did you fall in a sinkhole and the gym burned down? There could be ordinary or highly unlikely circumstances, that kept you from doing it.

There was a man working as a park ranger.
 Roy Sullivan Who was struck with lightning seven times.
Let’s take a look at those cases. The first time. When he was a child, he was helping his father to cut wheat in a field, when a thunderbolt struck the blade of his scythe without injuring him. Technically, he wasn’t hit with lightning. But I think it’s worth noting.
1. April 1942 He was hiding from the storm in his newly built fire tower. Unfortunately it was so new that it didn’t have a lightning rod installed yet. The lightning wailed and blasted this building at least eight different times. "fire was jumping all over the place". The tower was quickly engulfed in flames making him flee the scene. Where he made it approximately 5 feet. Before being struck with lightning. Sending a large burn down his leg and blowing a hole through his shoe.
2. July 1969 This time he was being really safe. He was safe inside of his vehicle. Which is always grounded because of the rubber tires. It’s almost impossible to get struck with lightning and get hurt in here. He thought, as he safely drove down the street. Until the lightning jumped off of a tree that it struck.
 Rebounding through a window, striking him in the brow. The strike knocked Sullivan unconscious, burned off his eyebrows and eyelashes, and set his hair on fire. The uncontrolled truck kept moving until it stopped near a cliff edge.
3. July 1970 Sullivan was calmly watering his lawn. It was sunny and beautiful day. Until a bolt of lightning blasts into a nearby transformer arching into his shoulder, searing it. Surely it was happenstance he thought. Preposterous coincidence? Perhaps.

4. spring 1972 Sullivan is working inside of the lodge at the park. Lightning Cascades through a window and strikes him again. His hair in engulfed in flames. He runs to the bathroom to douse himself. He cannot fit his face underneath the sink. So he smothers himself in a wet towel. After this strike, he began to feel that there were forces working against him. Some higher power or spirits must’ve been antagonized.
He was now a superstitious man. He had a pronounced fear of death. For months, whenever he was caught in a storm while driving his truck, he would pull over and lie down on the front seat until the storm passed. If there was a crowd. He would be the one who was getting hit. He kept a canteen of water near him at all times to douse the flames.

5. August 7, 1973 Now he was always ready. But he noticed one day on patrol. There was a tiny cloud of pure black roiling with lightning. He began driving away from it as quickly as he could. But he noticed this cloud seemed to be inexplicably following him. He drove away from it as fast as he could, until he thought he couldn’t see it anymore. Thinking it was safe enough. He got out of his vehicle. Three minutes after getting away from his truck, he was struck with lightning. Sullivan stated that he actually saw the bolt that hit him. The lightning moved down his left arm and left leg and knocked off his shoe. It then crossed over to his right leg just below the knee. Miraculously alive yet again. Sullivan crawled to the canteen hidden in his truck. Because once again, his hair was up in flames.
6. June 5 , 1976 Summer rains. You can never predict them. Beautiful sunny day Sullivan’s taking a walk. The same cloud from before is there. It’s coming towards him again. He doesn’t have his truck this time. Sullivan begins running as fast as he can. He claimed the cloud was following him. He manages to elude it for seven minutes before being struck with lightning again. This time in the ankle.
7. On June, Sullivan was struck while fishing in a freshwater pool. The lightning hit the top of his head, set his hair on fire, traveled down, and burnt his chest and stomach. Sullivan turned to his car when something unexpected occurred – a bear approached the pond and tried to steal trout from his fishing line. Sullivan had the strength and courage to strike the bear with a tree branch, despite the fact that his hair was on fire.
 He claimed that this was the twenty-second time he hit a bear with a stick in his lifetime.
Sullivan's wife was also struck once, when a storm suddenly arrived as she was out hanging clothes in their back yard. Her husband was helping her at the time, but escaped unharmed.

Yeah, I don’t know what’s up with the Bears. Guinness Book of World Records didn’t even want to touch that with a bear length pole.
