Strange Horizons Discussion Forum: "May You Die in Horrible Agony": A Brief Overview of Curses in the Western World, by Marian Kensler

Once in awhile, cursing someone is the right thing to do. After all they are weasels and enemies that need to learn their lessons. Its better off for them to disappear in my life, if all they tried to do is to create trouble and harm those i care for. I protect my life and my loveones the best i could; and protecting it is to curse those who wish harm at us and bring back all the disasters in their lives. They are not friends who can give protection at you and all they tried to do is to bring harm, so all the plague of badlucks, thats all that they deserved. I can be the protector but if they wish opposite, then they come to the right person. I like to curse and if its becoming true, then dont blame me. I am no saint and no jesus but it can be reversed if you act right. Dont impress me with your insulting smile...
