Do you suppose there is anything to these or are they just imaginary?

| I put a curse on someone and their hair fell out. Then I gave up witchcraft. But seriously, is this a serious question? |

| I would say that the act of putting a hex or curse on someone is very real, but the outcome is imaginary. |

I don't believe in anything supernatural.. It's all fakery, misinterpretation, or hallucinations - but since I know you hold other mythical beliefs, I don't see why you wouldn't believe in these as well.

| Probably imaginary but that doesn't mean they don't work. |

| I'm South Asian so for me magic is part of the cultural lore. There are people who actively believe in it and do some serious crap with skulls and blood. I have heard some pretty interesting tales. Even if people don't believe in it the words to ward off bad luck/bad intentions are used universally. For example if someone puts up pictures of their baby on facebook the replies are OMG! cute baby concatenated with words of protection. |

I liked this conversation. Why is it sinking?
David, are you feeling threatened or hexed or cursed in any way?
(i feel we should ask because there may be a serious thing behind it....David is lovely and sweet and i can't think anyone in any way would want to hex him but he might need some support if he has and he feels scared) |

| I believe in the power of hexes & spells. I don't understand them, but I believe they exist and that they work, at least some of the time. |

There are such things as blessings and curses, and they result in the way we behave.
There's a formula, you need to work it out.

| Oh yes and there's only one person who can bless and curse, we can't place them on anyone else! |

| As long as a person believes, then they are real. |

Nah, anyone can bless and curse. Some do it better than others. |

Consider the, admittedly loose, etymology of 'Grammar' - 'Grimoire'
Also, consider 'spell' - to put a spell on someone. To write. To make a 'play' about someone. To write a 'play'. To hex. To put words on them. In them.
Then consider how it was hundreds of years ago. To be 'spoken about', . To have 'gossip' about you.
I think it's clear how these things work and still work to this day. |
