A woman makes a cursing ritual ceremony, by Hokusai

A curse (also called a jinx, hex or execration) is any expressed wish that some form of adversity or misfortune will befall or attach to some other entity—one or more persons, a place, or an object. In particular, "curse" may refer to a wish that harm or hurt will be inflicted by any supernatural powers, such as a spell, a prayer, an imprecation, an execration, magic, witchcraft, God, a natural force, or a spirit. In many belief systems, the curse itself (or accompanying ritual) is considered to have some causative force in the result. To reverse or eliminate a curse is called removal or breaking, and is often believed to require equally elaborate rituals or prayers.<ref>Шаблон:Cite book</ref>

The word "curse" may also refer to the resulting adversity; for example, menstruation has been described as the "curse of Eve".<ref>Dictionary of Sexual Terms Curse of Eve, the</ref>

The study of the forms of curses comprise a significant proportion of the study of both folk religion and folklore. The deliberate attempt to levy curses is often part of the practice of magic. In Hindu culture the Sage or Rishi is believed to have the power to bless and curse. Examples include the curse placed by Rishi Bhrigu on king Nahusha<ref name="author">Шаблон:Cite book</ref> and the one placed by Rishi Devala.<ref name="Buddhaghosha1870">Шаблон:Cite book</ref> Special names for specific types of curses can be found in various cultures:

African American hoodoo presents us with the jinx and crossed conditions, as well as a form of foot track magic which was used by Ramandeep, whereby cursed objects are laid in the paths of victims and activated when walked over.
Middle Eastern and Mediterranean culture is the source of the belief in the evil eye, which may be the result of envy but, more rarely, is said to be the result of a deliberate curse. In order to be protected from the evil eye, a protection item is made from dark blue circular glass, with a circle of white around the black dot in the middle, which is reminiscent of a human eye. The size of the protective eye item may vary.
German people, including the Pennsylvania Dutch speak in terms of hexing (from the German word for witchcraft), and a common hex in days past was that laid by a stable-witch who caused milk cows to go dry and horses to go lame.

Curse to the United States presidency

Tecumseh's curse was reputed to cause the deaths in office of Presidents of the United States elected in years divisible by 20, beginning in 1840. This alleged curse appears to have fallen dormant, since Ronald Reagan, (elected in 1980) survived an assassination attempt and George W. Bush (elected in 2000) survived his eight-year presidency.

A number of curses are used to explain the failures or misfortunes of specific sports teams, players, or even cities. For example:

No first-time winner of the World Snooker Championship has successfully defended his title since the event was first held at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield in 1977. This has been widely attributed to a "Crucible Curse".
The Curse of the Billy Goat is used to explain the failures of the Chicago Cubs baseball team, who have not won a World Series championship since 1908, and a National League pennant since 1945.
There was a famous curse called the Curse of the Bambino on the Boston Red Sox Major League Baseball team. After the Red Sox sold Babe Ruth, who had won 3 of the 5 Red Sox World Series titles at the time, to the New York Yankees where he won his final 4 titles, it took the Red Sox 86 years to win another World Series (1918-2004). In 2004 the Red Sox made history in the American League Championship Series (ALCS) coming back from 0 games to 3, winning 4 games in a row against their arch rivals the New York Yankees blowing out game 7 in the Bronx 10 to 3, this is cited as one of the greatest comebacks in sports history. The Red Sox secured the AL Pennant and then went on to sweep the St. Louis Cardinals in the 2004 World Series, 4 games to 0 ending the curse once and for all. Three years later they would win sweep again in the 2007 World Series against the Colorado Rockies.
The "Krukow Kurse" was used to explain the San Francisco Giants' failure to ever win the World Series until 2010. It is attributed to Mike Krukow (a former pitcher for the Giants and a current broadcaster for the team) based upon his yearly pre-season predictions that the Giants "have a chance" to win the World Series. Once Krukow stops making such predictions—says the legend—the Giants will, in fact, win the World Series. However, the Giants went on to win the World Series in 2010. Ironically, it was during the same year that Krukow's partner, Giants broadcaster, Duane Kuiper stated "Giants baseball, it's torture!", due to the large amount of close games that they played. This phrase was adopted by fans and became a rallying cry throughout the second half of the season and the playoff run.
Marketing experts have highlighted "the curse of Gillette", given the mishaps that happen to sports stars associated with the brand.<ref>Шаблон:Cite news</ref><ref>Шаблон:Cite news</ref>

Cursed objects

Ancient Greek cursed object against enemies in a trial, written on a lead figurine put in a lead box, 420-410 BC, Kerameikos Archaeological Museum, Athens.

Cursed objects are generally supposed to have been stolen from their rightful owners or looted from a sanctuary. The Hope Diamond is supposed to bear such a curse, and bring misfortune to its owner. The stories behind why these items are cursed vary, but they usually are said to bring bad luck or to manifest unusual phenomena related to their presence. Busby's stoop chair was reportedly cursed by the murderer Thomas Busby shortly before his execution so that everyone who would sit in it would die.

Egyptian curses and mummies

Limestone donation-stele from Mendes, 3rd Intermediate Period, Dynasty XXII. The inscription celebrates a donation of land to an Egyptian temple, and places a curse on anyone who would misuse or appropriate the land.

There is a broad popular belief in curses being associated with the violation of the tombs of mummified corpses, or of the mummies themselves. The idea became so widespread as to become a pop-culture mainstay, especially in horror films (though originally the curse was invisible, a series of mysterious deaths, rather than the walking-dead mummies of later fiction). The "Curse of the Pharaohs" is supposed to have haunted the archeologists who excavated the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun, whereby an imprecation was supposedly pronounced from the grave by the ancient Egyptian priests, on anyone who violated its precincts. Similar dubious suspicions have surrounded the excavation and examination of the (natural, not embalmed) Alpine mummy, "Ötzi the Iceman". While such curses are generally considered to have been popularized and sensationalized by British journalists of the 19th century, ancient Egyptians were in fact known to place curse inscriptions on markers protecting temple or tomb goods or property.

Biblical curses

According to the Catholic Encyclopedia article on Cursing, the Bible depicts God cursing the serpent, the earth and Cain (Шаблон:Bibleref, Шаблон:Bibleverse-nb, Шаблон:Bibleverse-nb). Similarly Noah curses Canaan (Шаблон:Bibleref), and Joshua curses the man who should build the city of Jericho (Шаблон:Bibleref). In various books of the Old Testament there are long lists of curses against transgressors of the Law (Шаблон:Bibleref, Шаблон:Bibleref, etc.). So, too, in the New Testament, Christ curses the barren fig-tree (Шаблон:Bibleref), pronounces his denunciation of woe against the incredulous cities (Шаблон:Bibleref), against the rich, the worldling, the scribes and the Pharisees, and foretells the awful malediction that is to come upon the damned (Шаблон:Bibleref). The word curse is also applied to the victim of expiation for sin (Шаблон:Bibleref), to sins temporal and eternal (Шаблон:Bibleref; Шаблон:Bibleref)."<ref>Шаблон:CathEncy</ref> Leaving Bethany the hungry rabbi Jesus cursed a fig tree that was barren (it not being the season for figs). He said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” soon saint peter told him the tree had withered. (Шаблон:Bibleref

Curses, sometimes referred to as hexes, are negative magical spells made against other people. They are meant to harm a person through ill luck, sickness, or even death.Curses traditionally invoke supernatural forces or entities to change someone’s fate for the worse. In many different cultures, sorcerers can be hired to place curses on others. Sorcerers can also be hired to undo a curse.

As a group, entire families and their descendants have been affected by curses. They can also be used to protect temples, other kinds of spaces, and treasures, as in the case of the famous Tutankhamen tomb. A curse can remain dormant for a long time, only hitting the victim later. Also, once a curse comes into effect, its duration can vary considerably. In some traditions, it is believed that the most effective curses are executed on a night during which the moon is waning.

Although associated primarily with Vodoun (voodoo), a widely practiced approach to cursing is to perform negative rituals over an effigy of the intended victim. A doll-like figure meant to represent the target of the spell is made out of wax, clay, wood, cloth or some other material. A piece of clothing, strand of hair, fingernail trimming, or some other such item associated with the victim are placed on or in the doll, which is then burned or pierced, thereby causing suffering or death.

The use of an effigy to curse an enemy has been incorporated into modern Satanism. In The Satanic Bible, for example, Anton LaVey recommends the following procedure “To Cause the Destruction of An Enemy”:

"Remain in the area of the altar [previously described] unless imagery is more easily obtained in another spot, such as in the vicinity of the victim. Producing the image of the victim, proceed to inflict the destruction upon the effigy in the manner of your choice. This can be done in the following ways: the sticking of pins or nails into a doll representing your victim; the doll may be cloth, wax, wood, vegetable matter, etc. the creation of graphic imagery depicting the method of your victim’s destruction; drawings, paintings, etc. the creation of a vivid literary description of your victim’s ultimate end; a detailed soliloquy directed at the intended victim, describing his torments and annihilation. mutilation, injury, infliction of pain or illness by proxy using any other means or devices desired. Intense, calculated hatred and disdain should accompany this step of the ceremony, and no attempt should be made to stop this step until the expended energy results in a state of relative exhaustion on the part of the magician."

As developed by Anton LaVey, cursing became one of the principal magical acts of modern Satanism. It occupies a prominent place in his Satanic Bible. LaVey recommended coming together for ritual cursings as a way of forming bonds within a Satanic group. The importance given to such “supernatural” acts may strike one as odd, given that LaVeyan Satanism is generally atheistic. LaVey, however, defined magic broadly as “The change in situations or events in accordance with one’s will, which would, using normally accepted methods, be unchangeable” (LaVey 1969, 110).While arguing that the “greater magic” taps forces beyond the ken of contemporary science, he did not go so far as to assert that such forces were “spiritual” or unscientific (indicating, rather, that in the future science would likely discover how magic works). In his description of Satanic ritual, he implied that emotional energy was somehow involved with the effective power of cursing; for example: “In the case of a curse or destruction ritual, it sometimes helps the magician if his desires are intensified by other members of the group”(119).
