New magical elections video is live!
But first, we should talk about curses. It's come to my attention that a fairly prominent member of the astro magical community has used curses to harass and assault others, particularly women, and that's shitty

I've grappled with how to talk about or showcase curses in my work. Curses are a part of the astrological magical tradition, curse charts are great examples of what you typically want to avoid in magical elections and there are some good mundane applications (pest control)
I decided I didn't want to be the magical moral police to tell people what they should or shouldn't do. I don't like cursing and don't think it's good to do, but I also know I'm kind of in a privileged place to say that. I don't need it. Other people probably do.
Cursing is for the trans woman who doesn't want to be followed home.
Cursing is for the woman who has struggled to get her abusive ex to leave her alone through more conventional means.
Cursing is for the young man or woman who has a stalker.
These are the people I think about.

Curses are a weapon of the otherwise powerless, they are something you punch up with when other means have failed. Punching down and using your experience and knowledge to harass people less experienced is cruel and petty. The community is better off without it.
Another thread reminded me that I meant to include something else in this thread. If you feel as if you've been cursed or hexed by another or just have gotten a malefic attachment, check out this video for instructions and do what Benebell says
