How to Get Rid of a Curse
If the basic techniques for breaking a hex (as detailed here) haven’t resolved the issue, curses may require deeper and more persistent efforts. Curses often manifest as long-term struggles or lessons, sometimes spanning generations. They can even serve as spiritual challenges or “life lessons” intended to guide individuals or families to correct past wrongs—such as fostering respect, compassion, or other virtues.
Here’s how you can tackle more complex curses:
1. Call Upon Higher Energies
When dealing with persistent or powerful curses, seeking help from higher energies can be transformative. This doesn’t have to be limited to protective spirits—it can also involve working with entities, deities, or the broader forces of the universe. Establishing a connection with these energies provides guidance, strength, and assistance in breaking the curse.
- Deities and Entities: Depending on your spiritual beliefs, you can call upon specific gods, goddesses, or spiritual beings. For example:
- Entities tied to justice or balance can help dissolve the effects of a curse (e.g., Maat in Egyptian mythology or Themis in Greek mythology).
- Deities associated with cleansing and transformation, such as Kali in Hinduism or Sekhmet in Egyptian traditions, can assist in severing ties with harmful energies.
- Darker entities (if you’re comfortable and experienced) may offer aid in returning energy to its origin.
- Working Closely with an Entity: If you have an established connection with a particular spirit, deity, or force, focusing your efforts through this relationship can amplify the effectiveness of your ritual. Dedicate offerings, prayers, or rituals specifically to them, seeking their support and protection.
- Universal Energy: For those who prefer a non-deity approach, the universe itself can be a powerful ally. Meditate on the idea of universal energy, visualizing it cleansing and rebalancing your life. Use affirmations like, “The universe supports me in releasing this curse and restoring harmony.”
Calling upon these energies often involves a reciprocal exchange. Consider offering something meaningful, such as flowers, candles, incense, or a symbolic act that aligns with your intentions. Building trust and respect in this spiritual connection strengthens your efforts to break the curse.
2. Perform Larger or Repeated Rituals
Breaking a powerful curse often requires dedication and a series of rituals over time. Examples include:
- Nightly Candle Ceremonies: Light a black candle for protection and a white candle for purification each evening. Focus on breaking the curse and restoring balance. Repeat this over several nights or until you feel a shift.
- Herbal Rituals Over Multiple Sessions: Use protective and cleansing herbs, like sage, rue, or basil, in baths, teas, or as part of smoke-cleansing ceremonies. Consistency is key.
- Binding or Reversal Rituals: If you suspect the curse has a clear source, perform a symbolic binding or reversal over several weeks to completely neutralize the energy.
3. Cleanse and Heal Ancestral Karma
Some curses may not originate from the present but instead stem from generational patterns or “ancestral karma.” These can require more in-depth exploration and healing:
- Focus on family dynamics and recurring patterns of misfortune. Reflect on how lessons might be passed down and how they can be resolved.
- Incorporate practices like journaling, meditating on forgiveness, or using visualizations to release familial ties to the curse.

4. Understand the Spiritual Lesson
At times, curses are seen as part of spiritual growth—both individually and collectively within families. Recognizing the underlying lesson might be key to lifting its hold:
- Reflect on Patterns: Consider if the curse could be teaching a specific lesson, such as breaking harmful cycles or fostering virtues like compassion or equality.
- Act to Heal: Take steps to address the root cause of the lesson, such as advocating for positive change or making amends where possible. For example, a generational curse tied to mistreatment might only break when genuine healing and respect are restored.
5. Consult a Professional
In some cases, breaking a curse can feel overwhelming or require expertise beyond what personal rituals can achieve. Turning to a professional can provide specialized guidance and tailored solutions. Examples include:
- Spiritual Healers and Shamans: These practitioners often have experience in identifying and breaking curses. They may perform specific rituals or offer guidance based on cultural or spiritual traditions.
- Energy Workers or Mediums: Professionals skilled in energy work can help realign your personal energy field, removing negative influences caused by curses.
- Tarot or Divination Experts: If the source of the curse or its effects remain unclear, a reading can provide insight into the underlying causes and the best approach to break it.
- Custom Rituals: Professionals can create personalized cleansing or banishing rituals designed specifically for your situation.
Seeking professional help is not only a practical step but can also provide emotional support during the process. Remember, curses can be complex, and having someone experienced to guide you can make all the difference.
