    To Dispel a Curse:A Heavy-Duty Cleansing Rite

    By Storm Faerywolf

    A curse can come in many forms.Not always does it require amaniacal practitioner of the Dark Arts, huddled over their arcane tools,muttering spells into the night. Often, what we might feel to be a cursecan originate with something decidedly more mundane: a whisperedrumor or a malicious thought. eft unchecked, this harmful energy canaffect us adversely, be it in our private or professional lives. !egardless ofits origin, we can respond magickally to this threat.

    " believe that it should go without saying that prior to working this spellyou should attempt whatever #mundane# actions are appropriate for yoursituation. $agick is part of real%life, not a substitute for it.

    &his spell can be performed either by the person who is the target of acurse or, in the event that they don't feel up to it, then by someone actingas a priest(ess. &he duty of the priest(ess in these cases would be to actas an energetic guide for the practitioner, mediating the )od(dess powerinto their presence.

    "deally, this should be performed seven nights prior to the Dark $oon*+heck your calendar. &his is to combine the power of decrease,governed by the waning moon, with the mystic significance of the numberseven. -owever, necessity is the largest concern here. Adapt, as youdeem necessary.
