Welcome to Witch Chat podcast, brought to you by White Witch Magazine, and Retro Chalet where modern day witches get their broomsticks out of the closet, and join me to start real talking.  ! Welcome one and all, I’m so glad you are here today.  I’ve got some exciting Today we are going to talk about curses as it pertains to magic, a bit of history on them, and how to break them.  Even more so, if you ever fall prey to a curse, then this podcast is for you, because I’ll share how you can recognize falling victim to one.   I invite all witches in all walks of life, whether you are Pagan, Wiccan, Christian or even just a green hedge witch, come on in and let’s get chattin!.

Now, a confession. There was a time in my early life , specifically in my studies in high school, where I felt history was downright boring, I didn’t pay much attention and went through life being drawn to nature.  Always taking the wooded path home, listening to the whispers of the tree leaves and following the butterflies.  So, what changed to make me delve into religions and cultures of all types (and mind you once I started digging, reading, watching, it did not stop).  This was prompted by a dream I had one night. I had woken up and remembered it vividly. I was talking to someone in a different language. I was in a place that resembled the Sahara, Egypt, sandy dunes, and pyramids.  I was talking to a young boy, who was holding a staff, made of gold with a Cobra’s head.  We had a conversation, but to be honest, that scared the crap out of me because I did not know what words we were exchanging.   I was wondering HOW COULD I KNOW THIS LANGUAGE and what had I said in the dream?  I’m a big believer in dream meanings, yet this dream has now plagued me for a few decades until I solved the mystery.  It made me start delving into history about ancient cultures and how it pertains to the magical beings of today, and of course, my dream. To clarify, I have never physically been to Egypt, unless of course, in dream state counts!  

Today we talk about  the Curse of King Tut to talk about curses in general.  I’m sorry that I can’t always correctly pronounce the name  Tutankhamun[a] or Tutankhamen[b] (c. 1341 BC – c. 1323 BC),  who, rose to the throne at only the age of nine, which many of us cannot imagine how a child of only nine would be thrown into such a role.  A pharoah (aka Egyptian King) he was said to have ruled for just nine years, having died at the still young age of 18, They are unsure why, perhaps a leg fracture which went sepsis or malaria or both,   Archaeologists are finding out more every day with DNA testing. He was said to have married his half sister who had two infants, yet it is not fully documented or concluded if these were his children. You can go research and find that based on DNA testing, they believe they have found his father and mother, who were actually  FULL brother and sister as well, and you can read more in Wikipedia and their conclusions thus far.  Getting back to young King Tut, I would first like to say how difficult it must have been to be a child yet thrown into such as important role. I take a brief pause to remember him and pay him with due respect and for his contributions in history. I want to say aloud for sake of my safety and yours, that we look at him with respect, and love.  

For now that I am remembering him, he is alive to me.  This is the most important lesson that I can teach you about Ancient Egypt and curses. The culture of Egypt believes strongly that when you die, you are only dead until you are remembered. It is then, you must be careful and pay due respect to those who have passed, not to disrespect them. 

Furthermore, you may have heard how those were buried with the Book of the Dead, generally a book of spells written on a scrolled paper perhaps back then an early form of Papryus or animal skins were used to document spells to use in the afterlife, buried with those super important people in society.  Funerary spells, they were called.  A book you can read in your afterlife to navigate your way and in particular, one spell is my favorite, that is spell number 83.  Translated, it can turn you into benu -bird.  Many call this a mythical 

bird, yet it was closely associated with the sun-god, RA.  Ra was said to be the very first Pharoah of Egypt. With this spell 83, comes the rising sun, the bird, and later morphs in translation to the phoenix, as close in comparison to the benu-bird as one can get. Surely you have heard the terms the phoenix rises from the ashes.  In so many translations, many believe they were thrown into the fires of the afterlife, rising like the sun, rebirth and reincarnation. With the book of spells helping you navigate your way in the afterlife, how could you go wrong? If you were lucky enough to be a noble or Pharoah, you would be taught in your culture and you would believe to be repeatedly re-born from a fiery origin.  Perhaps you were! Believing in something is a powerful force! I always say, belief in the impossible and knowing it will happens the origin of magic!

So now, let’s talk about the individuals who fell prey to the curse of King Tut, and truly this story angers me a little , I’m going to have to defend King Tut a bit here. There is a fine line between respecting the dead and excavating tombs for study.  I’m taking you back to a place the natives refer to as Valley of the Kings, which during King Tut’s time, would have been located on the bank of the Nile.  This area is across from modern day Luxor, and contained so many tombs, most all which have now been excavated. I phrase it this way due to the fact it seems, we are in fast forward discovering more each day.  This area previously was called Thebes.  In 1922 Howard Carter an Archaeologist supposedly trekking his his animal and caravan across the sand fell into a hole , which led him to a chamber , which contained riches of King Tut.  It was full of plunder, over 5000 relics to be exact which took them almost a year to study, photograph and document.  I encourage you to go and look at the photographs, which you can find if you look, contain all types of fancy things.  Handmade decorated chests, almost like treasure chests some painted, some woven, golden objects, and all of the most upscale personal belongings.  When I look at them I see how LOVED King Tut was. Obviously he was worshipped, cherished, and given beautiful things.  Surely you have seen the wonderful sarcophagus of King Tut, golden with blue paint which protected him from evil.  

Now the problem.  They also found him as in King Tut himself,  and within a year Carter and I’m assuming his team of men, unwrapped his mummy to see his face.  Inside were many different Mummy layers.   Whether it be crucial for history or just curiosity, I leave this to your thought process.  Sadly now King Tut’s now deceased face can be found with an easy Google search I ask you to consider how this feels to a great King of significant importance, removing him from his burial place, his place of rest and peace, and unwrapping his mummification garments to take photographs of his face.  I should interject here, that I hate being photographed without my lip gloss for crap’s sake much less if someone were to dig me out of my tomb and display my, and my prized possessions for the world to see.  Just thinking of it from King Tut’s perspective.  And mine.  With that, we move onto the curse after a brief pause.

Welcome back and now onto the curse! The story says, one night when Carter was eating dinner a mysterious King Cobra snake appeared in his canary cage. Hello, King Tut, symbolism, King Cobra.   That would have been enough for me to wake up and call of the expedition. However, it wasn’t. Carter and his team continued inventorying the treasures, and more stories came.  The person in charge of putting up the money for the party to continue research was said to have died from blood poisoning from a bump on his skin that he nicked with a razor, and one by one seven men died in the party.  I think the most interesting is the fact they had summoned a radiologist to come out and test King Tut’s body, but he died of an unknown disease.  Seven people in the party, had died. 

Lynn Picnkett is a writer of religious history, and the paranormal.  She says, in so many words, that the Egyptians believe you have to preserve your early body in order for the spirit to function properly in the afterlife.  If you bother these mummies, you would have a problem.  

Which makes me wonder, what happened to Howard Carter?  In my opinion, not nearly enough for the curse was put on the party and not so much Cater.  He died at age 64 long after his research work and had unearthed many discoveries about Ancient Egypt. He had a home in Luxor and in Britian and is responsible for many contributions that otherwise we would have not known.  What many do not realize is prior to discovering King Tut, he started his work in Egypt, excavating and finding relics and antiquities twenty years prior.  Perhaps to the people who hired him to seek treasures, he was regarded as such a wonderful expert and responsible for us knowing so much about King Tut.  There is still that part of me who thinks it is a bit unholy to unearth people from their graves and trample their resting places, but perhaps I am in the small percentile of those who think so. When I think back to my dream, of me having conversation in Egypt, the person in my dream talking to me in a different language, and me responding in a different language closely resembled a young boy, and here I am to tell you I know I was supposed to talk about this. 

There is a video on YouTube, about more curses from King Tut, in fact the curse of a whole family. It’s called “The Elite Family Cursed by King Tut Tutankhamun’s Tomb.  It talks about the EARL OF CARNAVRON referring to George Herbert, 5th Earl of Carnarvon who financed the excavation of the tomb.  Amazingly, the comments on YouTube share some of my thoughts exactly, about disturbing the dead. 

So let’s move on.  I want to get into HOW TO KNOW IF YOU HAVE BEEN CURSED? I talk about how not to curse others accidentally in White Witch Magazine’s first issue, which is in the RetroChalet shop and it’s a digital download if you are interested.  For now if you have been cursed  I’m going to give you some indications of which, some of the following may be true during a curse.  

All of a sudden, you are sick, not well.  You see strange things, too many coincidences. You have strange tugging feelings that something is, or will go wrong. A black cat runs in front of you, owls hooting at your window, birds flying into your window, and these things are happening often.  Bugs, insects crawling around or on you.  Signs from nature.  Then, you have one thing after another happen to you, and it’s uncanny and impossible the amount of things that are constant. It’s enough to break you, and sometimes even, too much weight on your shoulders. For some of this, this sounds like everyday life and struggle are real-- but you must discern that from the actual mathematical probabilities of what’s happening.

Mathematically speaking, it’s too much at once, and defies all odds.  That my dear, means, you could be cursed. 

 For instance, I had my first curse put upon me after five decades of never experiencing one.   I was introduced to someone who gave me the creeps, every hair on my body raised and I felt a demonic presence. The person himself, looked cleancut and just, yet there was an aura hovering around.  When I mentioned something to the person he was dating, who is like a niece to me, in other words, I gave her a warning to RUN, the entity sensed it and cursed me.  I hadn’t known of course that I was under attack. It was my opinion she should get rid of this GUY, but more on that later. 

Strange things started happening.  For example, at work, the refrigerated truck went berserk, many service calls, then, the same time as the freezer, and another truck who had just been repaired by a wonderfully skilled mechanic broke down leaving me on the side of the road. And I must add, work is a place where everything is maintained, new, replaced or serviced.  It seemed odd that even the water system had gone berserk. Then it was five more things like that.  Ten more things like that, bam, bam , bam, one after another.  New water system installed, five service calls, even the service guys can’t figure it out.  Some may say, oh, that’s the workforce today, unskilled people, UH NO. These guys were doing water for 30 years, a family owned business.  It wasn’t until I went to visit a friend, Theresa,  a 70 year old Christian Witch, and she sensed it immediately. “Oh Cindy, you have a curse following you. Let me help.”  Never once did I stop to think about it. 

I had realized I was depressed, quickly flying off the handle, obviously under more stress than usual, my patience was thin.   I realized my normal outgoing happy personality had been transformed into the duldrums. I kept thinking, “What CRAP will happen next to me? “ I did not once try to think positive, which isn’t like me at all.  I had not only let the curse attach, but I had let it fester, grow, get stronger and win. There was sickness, there was chaos, this was a pure evil time in my life. I’ll be glad when the year is over!

Once Theresa, (for all intents and purposes we could call her Mother Theresa as she is a beacon of white light and like a mother to me), she pointed this out, I immediately sought her help. She explained there are several ways to break a curse, but I chose the easiest.  

I took a handful of cinnamon, I went outside, I put it under the mats of all the doorways to my home, and I sprinkled it all the way around my home. All the while envisioning that this curse would leave me. I then went outside, closed my eyes, and with a handful of cinnamon I envisioned the moment I knew the evil entity, then I opened my eyes and envisioned it leaving me.  In the wind I blew the cinnamon.  Immediately I felt empowerment. I believed it was going to happen.  I believed in the power of unloading the curse which was done to you. I then had to do this at my business, and all the places I frequent.  Little by little my mood changed, and I was back to my old self.  This whole experience let me formulate a spell jar just for a curse.  Inside there’s salt and herbs, and a bone, and my personal instructions on how to get rid of your curse.  If you need one, look up my RetroChalet Etsy shop and order one with code RETRO10. I hope you don’t have to. I honestly wish you never experience a curse. You can try the cinnamon, but to be honest, I chose this method because under normal circumstances I’m an elder witch.  If you are not that advanced in your craft, you may want to start with the spell jar.  I’m also using Malachite. There are tons of crystals that aid in protection; however, I chose this due to in ancient civilizations shamans used it to shield against curses, toxic energies, dark magic, and maybe it’s the one that calls to me. 

Things improved for me; however, my mistake was helping the girl in question. As she was a friend, and much like a niece, sometimes, you cannot turn your back when they need you.  Now, you may say you know a story like this, as every relationship has its issues, but again, the mathematical equations make it a clear curse. 

Every since MARY is what we will call her, met the man in her life, her life spiraled in chaos as she was immediately pregnant early on.  In my opinion it was at that moment the cursed boyfriend was immediately bound to her forever.    Her family immediately disliked him. She has lost her whole family’s support within the first six months. Yet then, tragic things happened to her and her family. Her brother is facing felonies falling into a world of theft and drugs, her mom became strung out on METH, her father, remarried and started a family of his own basically turning his back on her.  Her sister does not speak to her over an altercation.  Lastly there’s an uncle, a mechanic sold her a car that within 2 weeks had a check engine light on, and even after another transmission was dropped in, has the same light and more problems than I can count. Is that a coincidence? Even her car isn’t cooperating with her.  She’s been bouncing from place to place to live and although she works and has great work ethics, every job her man gets, he loses. The friends she’s housing with don’t like him, or kick them out for non payment.  She is trying to work as much as possible to keep a stable place for her son and any people out there know just how expensive childcare is. It will sometimes cost her more to hire a babysitter rather than have her boyfriend watch the child while she tries to work two, maybe three jobs.  The struggle is real, however, she has hocked everything in her life to make ends meet, and one of the first things, I found out when pressing her for more details, that one of the things she hocked was her crystal collectihttps://whitewitchmagazine.comon. Now some of us use tarot, pendulums, crystals, etc. but when I tell you she was always using crystals, she was so proficient in them.  Getting rid of them early in the relationship perhaps allowed her protection and clarity crystals to diminish her protection if you will, to a point that now she is clearly blind and cannot see.  She is a strong girl and I hope she prevails, but I’m wise enough to know, their relationship will not last, as he keeps dragging her further and further down. Although I don’t wish them any harm, I think both of them have to figure it out on their own. Now the state in which she lives provides much support for her and the baby, but only if she makes a break from her man. We shall see if that will happen. They both need help, counseling and love and light to fix the curse.  I have now distanced myself from them to let what will be , as I don’t want to over help and enable any prolonging of the situation of fate. I will update you on their situation later. 

Meanwhile, I continue to sprinkle cinnamon up my stomping grounds and feel my barrier against curses is at an all-time strong level.
