It is common to find curses written in dirt on a car or sprayed on a wall – these are usually just a word or phrase but can be very effective. Sometimes the person’s name is written on a piece of paper that is burnt or written, or it can be etched in mud or sand and then walked on by the curser. This may be done with paper and pen or sent via computer. These of course are negative and are usually because you have caused envy for just about anything- clothes, car, success, money – the list goes on! The next stage from a spoken curse is a written one. Unfortunately, because of the ease of their use, it is not uncommon to be the recipient of a verbal curse. A taglock is a piece of your hair, nail, photo, or jewelry, so it is always best to keep your possessions safe. If the person who wishes you bad luck can obtain a ‘taglock’ their curse will be more effective. In Greece, many people wear a blue glass charm of the ‘evil eye’ to ensure that they are protected and you will often see them pinned on the clothes of new babies to protect them too. This is usually a curse that is linked with envy, done by someone who is envious of something you own or your success. The ‘Evil Eye’ and ‘Taglocks’ are Also CommonĪnother quick and easy curse is to give someone ‘the evil eye’. It has to be something they are likely to touch so door handles and car doors are popular choices – especially as they are more easily accessible. Whilst spitting at someone is certainly not likely to be well received and is in fact illegal in many countries, it is still quick and effective to spit on the ground very close to that person or to spit on an item that belongs to them such as a piece of their furniture. Spitting is certainly a quick and powerful curse. Quick and Easy Curses Are the Most Common
