5 Karma-Friendly Alternatives to Curses and Hexes

Before you mess up your karma by cursing or hexing someone, try one of these safer, more elegant options instead.

If you just searched “How to curse someone,” or “How to hex someone,” read this first!

I mean, I get it. Someone hurt you. Someone did you wrong, and it is so, so, so infuriating and unfair.

It seems your options for doing something about it in the physical world are so painfully limited, you feel almost irresistibly compelled to direct your considerable personal power toward causing them harm.

Believe me, I’ve been there. And I’ve even done that. And I don’t recommend it.

In my regrettable experience, karmic backlash in response to curses and hexes is a real thing. And it’s just not worth it.

But, hey, cheer up: you have options! Whether you want to hex your ex, a neighborhood bully, or anyone else, the five alternatives below will provide valuable magical recourse without endangering your own energy, sanity, and general wellbeing. And you can do them all safely.

Hex/Curse Alternative #1: Reflect All Energy Back to Its Source

A traditional feng shui cure for dealing with challenging neighbors involves nothing but a mirror. The idea is to the mirror so that the reflective side is facing the neighbor’s house, and then simply set the (completely neutral) intention that it reflect all energy – good, bad, or in between – directly back to its source.

Sending negative energy right back to its source is quite a bit tidier and more efficient than a hex or a curse. And karmically, it couldn’t be safer.

Usually the mirror is placed outside of the house, but apartment dwellers can place the reflective side against the wall, and hide it behind a picture or a sofa. If your issue is with your downstairs neighbors, you can place it reflective-side down on the floor, perhaps under a piece of furniture. If the upstairs folks are bothering you, you’ll need to figure out a way to attach it to the ceiling, reflective-side up.

This same practice can be adapted for the workplace, or you can even wear a mirror pendant and set the intention that it reflect all energy back to a specific source.

The important thing is the intention. It doesn’t matter what size or shape the mirror is. It can be as big as an entire wall or as tiny as a mirrored tile.

Hex/Curse Alternative #2: Cast a Protection Spell

When it comes right down to it, you are the one you most want to take care of in this situation. And a hex or curse can have the unfortunate side effect of tying your energy to the person or people you most want to protect yourself from. Luckily, there are plenty of safe spells that work wonderfully for protecting your physical and energetic wellbeing. (Although of course it’s still important to take safety precautions in the physical world, such as locking your door and not getting in the car with strangers.) Here’s a simple and effective one:

Ingredients:
An Archangel Michael candle 
Dragonsblood incense and incense holder
A lighter or matches
Essential oil of frankincense
Sunflower oil
A small bowl, shot glass, or saucer

Light the candle and incense. Say:

Archangel Michael, I call on you and invoke your protection. Please keep me completely safe in all ways, at all times. Please surround me in your fiery divine light through which no negativity may enter. Thank you!

Feel gratitude for Archangel Michael’s sure and steadfast protection as you place a tablespoon or so of sunflower oil in the small dish. Add one drop of frankincense essential oil and combine. Then lightly anoint your forehead, throat, heart, belly, and wrists with the oil.

Finish by picking up the incense and holder and safely wafting the smoke around your body (and home if applicable).

Place the incense back near the candle and allow it to burn all the way out. Extinguish and re-light the candle (as needed for fire safety purposes) until it’s burned all the way down.

Hex/Curse Alternative #3: Neutralize Someone’s Power Over You

In truth, no one has the power to cause you harm: legal, physical, financial, or otherwise. If it seems like they do, it’s only an illusion, just as everything is in this time-space reality. Even if they’re your landlord, your boss, your ex, or your mother-in-law, once you remember how powerful you actually are, the other person’s seeming power over will fall away. It’s like waking from a nightmare. And this spell can act as your alarm clock.

Ingredients:

Sea salt or Himalayan pink salt
The other person’s business card, photo, or full name written on paper
A jar with a tightly-fitting lid

Fill the jar part way with sea salt. Hold the identifying paper in both hands and say,

[Name of person], you have no power over me.
What once seemed like power is now erased.
It’s erased yesterday, it’s erased today, it’s erased tomorrow.
It is null and void. It was never even there in the first place.
It now completely dissolves, dissipates, disappears, and returns to its native nothingness, now and forever, in all directions of time.

Place the card, photo, or name in the jar and completely surround it with sea salt by pouring it over the top and filling the remainder of the jar. Seal the lid. Feel your own power returning and remember how magical you actually are. (Keep the jar on a shelf or in a cupboard until you feel you no longer need the magical reminder.)

Hex/Curse Alternative # 4: Bind Someone from Causing Harm

In addition to being safer, a binding spell is often much more appropriate than a hex or a curse anyway. This is especially true if someone is behaving like a bully (in any sense of the word), and you simply want to stop them from causing harm. Here’s a blog post I wrote featuring three ways to bind a bully without harming your karma in the least.

Hex/Curse Alternative #5: Activate Swift Justice

Perhaps the person you wish you could hex or curse is actually doing something illegal, or has done something illegal. Lucky for us, there are divine helpers who just love enforcing swift and appropriate justice. The Norse god Forseti is my personal favorite to call on for the purpose.

Here’s a spell from my book, Holistic Energy Magic, to be used when you’re in a legal situation and you’re entirely in the right:

Call on Forseti. When you feel his powerful presence, send him gratitude in the form of visualized light. With or without words, show him the situation. You might picture the whole thing as if you’re picturing the storyline and emotions of a movie. Be sure to feel your feelings and project them to him as well. Imagine that you are illuminating the dark spaces and shining light on the true situation. Then ask Forseti to intervene on your behalf and bring you the justice that you deserve by saying:

Forseti, the presiding one,
Please stay with me till this thing’s done
Bring justice from your golden hall
Swiftly and once and for all.
I honor you with love and light
And thank you for your wisdom bright!

Feel even more gratitude, and be sure to heartily thank Forseti once justice has been served.

Don’t compound the problem by hexing or cursing someone! Take care of yourself safely and elegantly with one of these more karma-conscious options instead.

            I’ve succumbed myself to feel numb and apathetic towards someone I loved a lot. We were friends for 8 years and realized she was not who I blinded myself to see. Everyone saw it/her for who she is; I see that now and see who she really is. I want to place the “Gentle Curse” on her to let her see what she has done. She doesn’t acknowledge her damage and focuses everything on blaming me for the demise of our friendship.

        Hi Tess!

        I love the idea of HEX/CURSE ALTERNATIVE #3: NEUTRALIZE SOMEONE’S POWER OVER YOU…. How can I use this to neutralize the power a manipulative EX has over my husband. They have a child together and uses that relationship to attempt to control my husband.

            How would I go about doing that if I may ask? This neutralizing spell is of course written from a personal perspective. Do I just need to insert the ex’s name somewhere?

          • Tess Whitehurst says

            08/24/2020 at

            Oh! Good question. I would replace “You have no power over me” with “You have no power over us.”

    Hello, I have lived nextdoor to a very unstable and angry neighbor for the last 6 years.
    In that time, I have had visits
    with him that were nice but he turns! The next time
    I talk with him he verbally with
    despite attacks me.vial stuff!
    I’ve many times have delt with it by responding in kind as emotional defence. I’ve just had another intense attack
    by him 2 weeks ago. At first, I was stunned and it turned to
    Intense anger.After so many years of being attacked by him,
    I admit I lost it! I spit out some very powerful words his way.
    As well as binding him from doing harm to anyone else or to himself. BUT there at one point I was unwise and my words came out as a curse.
    Appalled by what I had just
    done, I wrote a letter telling him to forget what he had received from me, that he sure pushed my buttons good.
    That I apologize for my angry
    words and take the law out of it! That my angry words have no power! But, He was still bound from harming anyone
    else or himself! I haven’t seen him around but I send him white light and wish him well.
    Did I do the right thing addressing my words of anger and power? Taking the power out of the words and withdrawing the energy in which I originally sent them with. I’m still wondering what effect outcome will be.
    Did I uncurse him and make the right ammends? Karma?
    Does this put everything that was said and done back to balance? I’d really love to hear from you about what you think and if my actions where appreciate. Thank you for any insight you could share with me. I strive to be true to the
    Creed of the Goddess!
    “Harm none” so be it!
    Blessings,Todd

      Todd, you are very sweet and conscientious to worry about your actions! It’s my sense that all is well and that you were justified in your behavior. If you happen to run into any adverse affects, you can always do a cleansing or uncrossing ritual. And, of course, it never hurts to call on Divine protection every day.

    Hi Tess I need vengeance. My husband ended our marriage and threw me out of his house because I had complications during child birth! They all thought I would die and decided I go back to my father’s house and die. Am fine now but am still very angry over what he did to me! He got married to another woman this January! I want their marriage to scatter and want him to pay for what he did to me! Am still struggling with my baby! Vengeance is what I need! From Nigeria

      Stella, I’m so glad to hear you’re fine now! I think most of us would feel the same way in your situation, but ultimately, focusing on healing and empowering yourself will make you healthier and happier than vengeance. Vengeance will hurt you as well as him. It’s safe to say that this situation made it clear that he was not someone you would want to be with anyway. So now you are healed and you have an opportunity to be healthy and happy without him. Feel your feelings, for sure, but always choose actions (magical or mundane) that will benefit YOU in the long run.

    I sure hope Forseti heard my prayers. I shined a lamp in my direction, which was also in front of window. Both of us have had legal issues. My son admitted guilt to a dui and has paid his fine. I am hoping that he wont get any points. My case is a security deposit that was not returned. The property manager even charged an extra month after we gave our 30 day notice. i have consulted with a lawyer. He has all my paperwork and doesn’t return my calls.
    I think I’ll reach out to Forseti again at night while shining the lamp in my direction

    Hi Tess my partner has kind of put me in a tight spot when he asked me to go on a mortgage with him. I know it is his mum who is influencing him to do that as their family does not have the money and she knows I have a good savings account. She has convinced him that this is the best thing for all of us and she intends to come and stay with us free of cost. I have no issues with my partner providing for his mum. I am all for it but I am not ok being manipulated to commit to a mortgage and I think my partner feels the same but cannot stand up to her. I am going to say no but I know I can expect violent backlash from my partner and his mum. Anything I can do to protect myself and stand firm? And can I do a binding spell on her? I do not want to distance her from her but I want her to stop being manipulative and interrupting in my life.

    Hi Tess,

    Few months back, my position in my company was very very good since 2017 and suddenly 3 months back one manager came into some other department. He was jealous of my position, and due to this he started pointing me out to CEO with some negative thoughts at my back. He is of much lesser experience than me but biching at my back is favouring him in some ways. Now he is my reporting manager and takes credit of all the tasks done by me.

    Can we do something to get my fame back and to down him?

          Angel, for a simple protection circle, you can just lightly sprinkle sea salt around yourself and call on the Divine to protect you in a way that feels powerful for you. Then simply do your best to complete the spell you choose, following directions as described. The intent is the important part, though. If you visualize and sense the spell is successful, it will be. You don’t need to do it perfectly.

            You can adapt the spell to be focused on someone else. For example, you can change the wording to be about the other person, and you can use a picture of them in place of your physical body.

    Thank you so much for this. Something like this is desperately needed in my life and for a few little ones. My family is being ripped apart by some evil people trying to do me harm. It’s affecting not just me, my son’s but my grandkids are being hurt in the process, because these people care more about themselves then they do anything.

    Hi! After years of repetitive cheating and a child, I cannot find it in my heart to stay with ny husband. I have worked through my anger and no longer resent him.I have found forgiveness. But I do not want to be with him and want a divorce. But two times he has manipulated me into staying(mention of suicide and eratic behavior).But I want out and I am growing as a person and cannot do it in this marriage. What can I do and maybe make him leave me and ask for a divorce?but Without any karmic backlash?!

      Mona, even if this is not physical abuse, it is still abuse. I suggest contacting the National Domestic Abuse hotline for advice about extricating yourself from this relationship immediately. Here’s the number: 1-800-799-7233, and here’s the website: https://www.thehotline.org/help/

    Hi Tess,

    I am from India. My relations with the top management are getting worse due to some bitching from other employees who are jealous of me and my position in company. I have read your article about some mirror to reflect negative energy but as I belong to Hindu religion, so I am confused whether that will work or not. Please suggest solution, which are effective and I can prefer in India. I am very sad due to this situation, I believe in Dharma, kindness and humanity, but still facing these issues from such stupid people. Please help.

    Also, please let me know, from where in India I can get the original and genuine mirror?

    Regard,
    Yogesh

      Hi Yogesh, the mirrored pendant can work for people of all religions, provided you set a clear intention for it to reflect all negativity back to its source. There is no special pendant you need, as long as it has a mirror on it and feels powerful for you.

    Hello Tess!
    I have a question regarding the salt spell. A love one close to me tense to sometimes put me down…..a lot. It hurts. I would like to leave, but I feel that I can’t since we have two children together and I don’t want any drama for my children. I wish he would be kinder and more relaxed with me. I DO NOT want to cause him any harm to him, I just wish he would be more peaceful.
    If I tried the spell number #3. Can I “undo” it if I feel the spell has worked? What would happen if I opened the jar and tossed out the salt and took out his business card, photo, name etc?

      Hi Michelle! I don’t advise doing any of these spells on someone you’re choosing to live with. It will probably cause more harm than good. It’s highly likely that staying in an abusive (even verbally abusive) relationship is actually not best for your family in the long run. You might consider talking to a therapist for support on either healing this relationship or (if it can’t be healed in a way you feel good about) ultimately releasing this relationship.

    I loved what you have written.. but I have controlled and tolerated alot I can’t do it anymore. My boss has insulted me in front of all my Juniors and seniors without my fault. He holds back salaries of employees, he likes people who bitches all day he doesn’t care about work. Show your hot figure to him and you will be his favourite if you won’t than work like donkeys.This was the second time he scolded me so badly as if m his slave, he deserves to be punished. I don’t know how to curse and don’t want to do without guidance.

    I initially googled about a hex. I’ve been discriminated against by the police because I’m handicapped. I’m hard of hearing and have Ataxia. These disabilities have symptoms that can prevent one from doing many things. Instead of being recognized as a person with disabilities. Some people treat you as a drunk or someone with an addiction. Unable to walk straight line or perform coordination tests. Treated as a criminal not a person with a disability. Regardless of the handicapped registration and plaque doctors notes medical records. I want these people to feel how I feel, go through the same experience and feel the way they made me feel. Wish I had the knowledge what to do and how to do it.

      Scott, perhaps spell #1 would be for you, but I really suggest that you do it with neutrality and a desire to protect your energy rather than with any sort of anger or desire for vengeance. Otherwise, you will create negative karma for yourself.

    I’m a witch who also trusts in the power of the law of attraction. I understand that some people don’t want to believe in the three-fold law, but it makes so much sense once you know how the law of attraction works.

    I find that witchcraft follows the same principles as the law of attraction. Just like you, I feel that hexing and cursing is just calling negative energy to come back to you.

    Whenever there is a negative experience in my life, I look for, or I create a spell that helps me to manifest a positive experience. For example, my neighbours can be noisy and obnoxious, so I made a charm bag for peace and tranquillity in my home. I can recharge the bag at any time I need it, and it has worked like a “charm” 😉

    I’m glad I found this. I wanted to place a hex on the monster that shot, several times, and killed my wonderful son on Christmas eve 2.5 weeks ago. My 23yr old has was brutally murdered and suffered deeply in the moments before he died. He died in his fiance’s arms so she is now broken and attempted suicide 4 days later. The justice system in this country try is flawed and I cant risk prison being enough or punishment being what it should be.
    This is an extreme case so is once enough?

      Jennifer, words cannot express how sorry I am to hear about your loss. I would like to recommend that you not perform a hex at this time. Your emotions are almost certainly not in the neutral place that will allow you to make that choice wisely or to perform a ritual in a way that is safe for you. The Forseti ritual in this post will be more appropriate. You can always revisit your magical strategy after a little more time has passed.

    Hi is there a spell I could use to stop my sister in law from turning their parents against him, she has been doing this since I met him due to me knowing her past, he as done nothing wrong and has always been there for everyone. She is a very selfish and nasty person and they do everything she tells them. It hurts me seeing him being treated like this by them all for no reason when she has caused so much trouble in the last 15yrs. It’s heatbracking

      Kerry, this sounds like something to talk to some of your family members about directly first. Even then, it may not be something you want to get involved with magically, as it sounds like this is someone your brother (?) is choosing to be with, so it involves the free will of others. Intervening magically in this situation may not be the route you want to take because it may cause more problems than it solves.

    I came here to cause vengeance on two people that have our last name, but is far from considered family by anyone in the family. My mother recently passed away peacefully in our home. When she passed, I said a prayer for to help her find her way by calling angels to come to her and guide her to her final eternal home. I feel in my heart that she made it successfully.
    Now the reason I came here was to cause pain for two that have our same last name, but are anything but family. They are the purest form of greed I have ever witnessed in my life. They both were saying they cared, but when my mother passed away, these two evil souls had carried out a plan they made to steal from my mother and did so.
    I was assigned to divide her belongings, but it was interrupted after finding out that these two evil persons had taken items that belong to other family members and refuse to return them. The law will not intervene, so I was looking for blood to spill. As I read through your Karma backlash It changed my mind to bring Karma down onto them. I think God and my mother will make things right with these evil souls, I just wanted immediate action I guess, but I know that they will be punished by a much higher power. I think they both have woken Karma up all on their own and will not assist Karma in doing what is right. She knows what to do because it is what she does best. Your page reading helped me to see that retaliating wasn’t the answer and I want to thank you for posting this helpful information.
    Now, I still have a job ahead to try and recovery these earthly material items they have taken and ask what would be best to strengthen my fight against these evil souls. I am going to go through the court system and have the backing of family to assist, but I want that edge, so they are powerless.
    What do you suggest would be best to perform as a spell to call on the help of higher powers to guide me in fulfilling my late mothers request.

    Hi Tess. Due to family issues I had to break the 7 year year relation with my love and in that sorrow tried to casually date a guy. I couldn’t emotionally attach to him and couldn’t moveon so I patched up with my love. But this dint go well with he second guy and he started saying I’ll suffer as him ( apparantly he did this to another girl and her life was spoilt) at first my boy friend was hesitant to marry me but then agreed saying he can’t live without me. But the other guy kept on blackmailing me and cursing me and suddenly my boy friend started saying he can’t marry me and broke off relation. I was scared it’s because of his curse and searched for its removal. An astrologer said he will do vasikaran and bring my boy frnd back and made me do some activities, but he kept on asking money so I stopped it. A spell caster said he will bring my boy frnd back in 9 days, said he did work for 3 days and the old work is broken and asked me to burn those stuff. But said he dint receive money so he can’t proceed with the work. Now I’m not sure what to do with those items the first astorloger made me store, and if his work is truly broken, and what to do to bring my love back?? Please reply asap

    My husband has been cheating on me for pretty much the entirety of our relationship and also has a gambling addiction, putting us thousands of dollars in debt. I actually DID initially search out ways to curse him for all the destruction he has done to me. Now seeing this, I see a few other ways to try to handle it. Is there a way to do the mirror on him? So all negativity he projects at me goes back to him with out wearing a necklace? Do I put a mirror tile under the mattress? I know I need to do the neutralize power and binding from causing harm, but I basically need a fortress of protection around me because the potential and ability to completely destroy me right now is astronomical and there is nothing I can do to just “get out” of the situation I am in. No matter what I do, I will be destroyed. 🙁

      If you fear for your safety or wellbeing, I suggest contacting a hotline to help you extricate yourself from this situation, and in the meantime I would do the neutralization spell from this post. Still, I do not recommend relying on magic to protect your energy from someone you live with and are married to. Even if he has not physically hurt you, this might be helpful: https://www.thehotline.org

    Greetings! If you have a moment, I have a question. Would reflecting someone’s negative energy back at them three fold be considered a hex? I essentially cast protection around myself asking that any wicked or ill intent be reflected and returned to the sender three fold…. It was honestly a spur of the moment and somewhat instinctual reaction to one too many people being unnecessarily cruel and deeming to me. Now I’m thinking my frustration might of got the better of me ……
