Have you ever cursed someone?

Do you think curses work ?

No, I haven’t, and yes, some do. Some might work by black magic, but some curses definitely work just because of psychology. I studied a little about it in a college sociology class on magic and witchcraft.
@Theyitis what is it all about?is it possible that someone who doesn’t like you ,cursed you and you didn’t know?

@Caleidoscope Maybe, I don’t know. The scenario I most distinctly remember from that class, was in some culture where someone made a very serious violation of a cultural norm the tribe’s chief (or maybe the medicine man) would point a bone at the offender, and the offender would immediately collapse and soon die. The explanation, as I recall, was not magical, it happened because of a strong [i]belief[/i] in that tribe that the bone could magically cause harm. It was all in the offender’s mind, and I think it had something to do with the body going into the “fight or flight” panic mode.
