I have a moral dilemma and would appreciate advice/input from the experienced practitioners with regard to karmic repercussions of Baneful Magick/hexing/cursing. This is primarily a philosophical question about the potential adverse effects of casting baneful spells.
Backstory: I was recently deeply wronged by a couple who’ve gone out of their way to cause emotional harm to me. The moral of the story is they treated me horrifically and I called them out on their disparaging behavior. Instead of apologizing, they’ve doubled down and come out guns blazing in retaliation. They have a popular podcast and have completely falsified the entire series of events to present themselves as the victims. They haven’t doxxed me, at least not yet, but the fact that they’re propagating such lies about me is deeply troubling. And if that’s not enough, they’re going out of their way to say things with the intent of inflicting further emotional harm to me.
Here’s the clincher, they actually announced on their last pod that they hired a spellcatser on Etsy to cast a spell against ME! Totally outrageous, when I did absolutely nothing wrong or harmful to them. Clearly, they’re absolutely terrified of me being a witch and striking out against them. So, if there’s any silver lining in this absurd experience, it’s that they’re actually scared shitless of me. HA. That actually brings me an IMMENSE amount of satisfaction. But, I digress.
Coincidentally, I had a dream last week that I discovered someone had tried to cast a hex upon me and I literally just laughed out loud. So, my higher self clearly isn’t concerned and I don’t feel I have anything to worry about on a grand scale. Btw, this dream occurred before I listened to the pod and heard their confession of them casting the spell.
Unfortunately, I don’t know the content of the spell, but obviously, it was baneful. And TBTH, I’m not too concerned. I know how powerful and protected I am and these people are complete idiots who have no idea who they’re toying with. And of course, I’ve already taken immediate defensive precautions and put additional protections in place.
Herein lies my dilemma/inquiry…
I’ve never been a vengeful person. But for the first time in my life, I felt the urge to give them a taste of their own medicine - I felt the urge to HARM them - and truthfully, it scared me. I had such RAGE at discovering they actually went through the trouble to cast a hex against ME when I was the person who was completely wronged.
What I’m grappling with, is the karmic repercussions of hexing others. I know there’s a lot of debate in the spiritual world about the use of the term “karma” and its actual meaning. But for the sake of this discussion, I try to live my life by the rules of “Do unto others” and “Do no harm.” So, while my ego really wants to teach these assholes a much deserved harsh lesson and put them in their place - and it would be incredibly easy for me to do - my higher self is telling me to take the high road. BUT…is this just my programming talking? Is this my programming telling me to “be the good girl?” Because quite frankly, I’m SICK of being everybody’s bitch. I’m feeling a deep seated need for justice and I can’t see any other way to get it.
My questions to the experienced practitioners are; has it ever happened in your experience where your hex backfired and brought YOU more grief than its intended recipients? Also, what are your thoughts on the concept of karma in relation to the craft?
Let me be very clear: I am NOT asking for hex “how to’s” or advice. I am asking philosophical questions about whether or not using baneful magick has ever had an adverse/negative effect upon any of its casters, and also if the concept of karmic repercussions play a role in your personal craft.
I realize this is a bit of a touchy and vulnerable topic. So please, out of respect for everyone’s individual journeys, refrain from passing judgement anywhere, this isn’t the place for that. All sincere responses will be very most appreciated 🙏🏼
TYIA and blessed be ⚸🖤🦉
