Everything Under the Moon

[quote="Justagirl"
We are the only inhabitants that have ever lived in the house. I have tried to research the history of the area but I can't seem to find any information. However, before we moved in, someone had painted a black cat on the floor of the garage. I don't have a problem with black cats but if the intention was bad, maybe that had some effect.

I'm sorry if this sounds harsh, I'm hoping it doesn't come across that way. It's been a long day for me.

If you can't find any history of that area, how do you know you are the only people ever to have lived in that house? If you were not the original builders of the house, it's highly unlikely no one else has ever lived there before you. Even if there are no formal records that you can get ahold of (which doesn't mean there are not formal records), or even any news reports on the home itself (quite possibly nothing news-breaking ever occurred there to warrant that kind of record - and often if there was, the actual address of the home would be sealed or never mentioned due to legal reasons). There's also the possibility of squatters who could have lived there under the radar in between ownership, if it was a foreclosure or abandoned.

Just because news isn't forthcoming doesn't mean there are no records or no prior history.

It is possible your house was built brand new by an agency and was never sold or rented out, it depends on how old the house is and the area you're located in as to how likely that is - plus those companies who build these neighborhoods have all intention of selling or renting out as fast as possible, even if it means dropping their rates, in order to earn back their investment. Go to your city hall and ask if they release records of residencies and prior ownership or histories, ask your neighbors, look around beyond obvious resources if you haven't already.

I'm going to lay this out here because I see this information printed and written everywhere, but it doesn't mean they're accurate. Curses are more than simply a bundle of negative thoughts aimed towards a particular person. For them to really stick, they are backed by something much more elaborate and powerful (witches or other entities casting curses for wrongs that ended in loss of life or loss of a family line, sophisticated rituals with advanced understanding of how it works, etc...). If you picked up some negativity from the thoughts of someone else and they had no real understanding or knowledge of how to cast a curse, whatever they sent to you can be negated by a banishing and cleansing.

If you are unfocused, it is probably worthwhile to do the banishing/cleansing on 3 or 7 consecutive days/nights (whichever solar or lunar rhythm you follow) in order to increase its potency; along with the previously mentioned protective methods.Give it some time to work, and after a week or so try to note if it seems to have lifted - even partially. At that point, if you're still feeling a little down, repeat the banishings/cleansings. Make sure that when you carry out those techniques, that you take the time to fill your home and self with positivity to replace the void that was left when you banished and cleansed the negativity. You can't move forward and heal if you allow that void to remain a void or it will only bring the negativity back in.

I still don't see evidence of a personal curse, particularly since the most coincidental effects are happening within the house.

Financial issues are a common thing, especially over the past decade with the economy crisis and pettiness running rampant.It has always existed and if you are personally invested in a business or other enterprise where there is a risk of money being lost or slipping away, then you must always be aware that that is a risk and take steps beforehand to ensure you mitigate that risk (which is why the extremely successful and resourceful business owners and investors often have advisers, accountants, and a support network to plan ahead for any mishaps and draw up any contracts or take other protective measures in case the worst happens).

It's not worth feeding your fears about harboring a curse, it will only make the effects become a self-fulfilling cycle where you will begin to see a "curse" in every negative event in your life, which draws more negativity to you. It's a psychological phenomenon (you see what you expect to see, you wait for the bad to happen - which it will inevitably happen because such is life - and then that in itself becomes proof of your suspicions), and it's a spiritual one (like attracts like).

If you want to counter whatever this may be, you need to work on yourself first. You need to shield, cleanse, banish, ground, maybe do some divination, and don't be entirely sure that what you are going through is not either a house-focused negativity which can be banished and cleansed from the territory, or that it is not simply a trial or challenge being sent on by higher forces that is trying to push you out of your comfort zone and raise your awareness to the next level.

Start with the basics, work your way up, give it time.

Good News!

Doesn't matter what kind of bad mojo, whether a curse, hex, jinx and bad energy.

All this can be cleansed and reversed. Banished from your life.

Remember when you cleanse and banish the bad, always invoke Good Luck, Good Energy, Good luck into your life, or else the hole from the banishment will just fill up with bad mojo again.

I agree with Vesca. "Harboring a curse, will only make the effects become a self-fulfilling cycle". You can only be effected by what you chose to be effected by. Mostly (not all times) however most things that are believed to be "curses or hexes" are more in the line of a hypnotic suggestion, and anyone can do that, even you! You just have to make the person believe you have the power to do so.

I will give you an example:

I remembered in high school, we played a psychological prank on our classmate. When classmate "A" came to the school, classmate "B" told him, "Oh, you look pale and weak, are you sick?" He said, "Of course not, I feel fine."

Then he met classmate "C" who was also part of the conspiracy , and he told "A": "Hey, is there something wrong with you? Why do you look weak and sluggish? Are you sick?" He just ignored it.

Then a third classmate, "D",told him the same thing, that he'd better see a doctor because he didn't look good. By the time he saw me, classmate "A" was just about to believe he was really sick. He then began to feel weak and even developed a headache and a fever that day. All because we had suggested to his mind that he was sick. And since his mind accepted that, then he indeed became sick.

Hypnotic suggestion works in that manner. If someone or something (unfortunate situations or experiences) suggested to you that you were cursed and you believed you were cursed, it would have its desired affect. But if you don't believe it, the negative thought will not have an effect on you.

Now, negative situations such as what is happening to your home right now can evoke two types of responses. Negative responses would be: fear, depression, anger, bitterness, etc. If you view immediately as a curse without examining other possible sources, you would be moving backward mentally, emotionally, physically and even spiritually. A key point to remember is: A different response is always possible. You could become more appreciative of some good positive things that's happening in your life (I believe there still are). You could move your inner eye away from curses, hexes, etc, and look for blessings and pleasure in other directions. The possibilities for breaking the series of misfortunes and such are manifold.

If we are confronted with negative situations like these, we can choose to let these nasty frightening situations take us forward or we can let it draw us backwards, but movement is the inevitable consequence of negativity in life. People who are in the same situation as yours are like people standing on a train platform, with trains about to depart on either side, going in opposite directions. Suddenly an officer announce that they've received a bomb threat and the platform must be deserted as soon as possible. The person must board one of those trains; remaining on the platform is no longer an option. Just like, keeping yourself in belief that you are cursed is no longer an option as it will just draw more negativity to you as Vesca said. Perhaps this is the perfect time to force yourself to move. The direction which you chooses is the epitome of this challenge.

In 20/20 vision, you must observe that bad times are the times of greatest blessing not the times of curse.

Again, I do understand what everyone is saying and I appreciate your time in writing these replies. I don't know what is affecting things right now-curse or otherwise. However, what's been happening is only the tip of the iceberg. This is not an isolated situation. We have suffered far more devastating, chronic problems for a long time. So, basically, things were bad and got a lot worse. It's partly because of the more serious things that have occurred leading up to this, that make the effects of the more recent events, so much more impactful.
If I wrote out my entire history of problems, you would see that they are not a simple side effect of a down economy or the natural ebbs and flows of life. Also, we moved into our house as soon as it was built. So, there is no history of the house. I was referring to the history of the area, prior to development or re-development, that is elusive. I don't know what existed prior to this neighborhood. I did contact local historians but I will have to dig deeper into the county records.

Among other things that have occurred-chronic debilitating illness that is documented but cannot be diagnosed over the course of decades. This illness has severely handicapped (not in the traditional sense) and restricted the afflicted, who has had to miss out on just about everything normal and enjoyable that a human being can experience. It is not psychological and that avenue has been explored just to make sure.
We had a car explode in our driveway at one point; serious divisive family issues; inheritances stolen;continued serious money problems; cancer (in addition to other illness); money stolen on multiple occasions; identity theft; yesterday we found out that all of our furniture in storage was destroyed by an "act of God" at the storage facility, so they're not liable; I could go on and on for pages and pages. A string of "bad luck" now and then is normal. A lifetime of nothing but misfortune is not. I'm not exaggerating. Whether it's a curse or something else, it's extremely difficult to find pleasures and blessings in other places, when the problem has always been that, things have occurred or interfered, preventing us from having those things. Whatever it is that's the cause, our family has essentially been stripped of any of things that can make life pleasurable-health, money, family, friends, despite our best and continued efforts to the contrary.
By now, it is VERY difficult to be positive because we did not expect things to get any worse.

Apparently I write novels when I'm tired... sorry about that.

You could write a novel about all the unfortunate things that have happened to you over a decades-long span, it doesn't change the steps to take to begin to banish the effects and restore some of the balance.

I earnestly suggest you give what was previously mentioned a try.

Also, if you're looking for a little bit of reading, it may be worth picking this up. It's usually fairly inexpensive if you can get one from a used book store, or amazon.

Psychic Self-Defense
by Dion Fortune

I wish you're always tired Vesca I love to read novels.

You know Justagirl, curses is a complex magick. A genuine curse from authentic sorcerer will take a lot of personal energy, knowledge, skills, effort and time. The reality is that a curse isn't like a "bad word" that you can tell to anyone and expect to work. The person who's cursing have to have the wisdom and understanding to make it work. Not many people can actually perform proper curses. Do you have any suspects that can do this to you or to your family?

You said this is not psychological, how about spiritual? What if you or your family are the ones who put vexes in your life and home? People can vex themselves by their deeds and actions. That's why we also need to protect ourselves against our own harmful thoughts and actions. These self-inflicted vexes definitely move a person further. It could negatively move a person to anger, despair, delusion or a sense of hopelessness.

Another good practice that I would suggest aside from auric cleansing, banishing, etc. is transcendence. Transcendence is the ability to rise above limitations. As I can see, you are limiting yourself to the many possible reasons of your bad lucks. Through transcendence meditation, you might respond by choosing to move on to another realm of self-definition, to seek fulfillment through inner battle and spiritual enrichment. Pursuing this dimension of self-exploration leads to enlightenment of what is really happening in your life.

Whatever practice or exercise you'll make, the negative forces (either its a curse, vex, hypnotic suggestion, etc.) change. The direction of that change is up to the person stricken.

If this is just our own vex, this will heal in their own time or not. If we're positive and strong-willed enough, we can put up a good fight.

I know that you didn't want a lecture, and I hope that I didn't sound like a lecturer. I just want to give you an idea that rule out the mundane first, then look at all those other things and aspects of your life (mental, emotional and spiritual).Sometimes it's easy for us to jump to the idea of curse, hex or jinx and forget that sometimes bad stuff happens to good people.

If you have done all of the techinques I, Vesca and others had suggested and there's still a recurring string of bad lucks then perhaps there's a possibility of small unskilled hexes or 'curses'. Hatred, grudge and retribution fall in this category. What you could do to know if there's a magickal influence made on you is fastening a consecrated/charged safety pin on your clothes in the area of the heart or solar plexus. Carry it with you secretly wherever you go. At night, before you retire, take the pin and inspect the needlepoint carefully. If you notice that it changed colour, it becomes gray, black or rusty brown then it's a signal that there's a malevolent magick or psyhic assault directed on you and that the influence was detected by the pin. In this case, go outside your house, spit three times and bury the pin in the ground.

Or if you're into tarosophy, perhaps you could draw one Tarot card for you and it will tell you if it's a genuine curse or not.

Justagirl, have you considered getting a tarot reading on the subject? That might be a good way to get to the root of the problem quickly (and a tarot reading could indicate if it's a curse or not). I could pull a few cards for you if you like.

Noted =P Maybe I'll have to get back into blogging to put the novels somewhere useful.
