Curses
Consequence, reversal, and refusal rituals centered on boundaries and symbolic redress.
The curses in this archive are built around consequence, return, and refusal. They use ordinary materials and focus on the behavior or influence being answered rather than physical harm.
Each entry includes materials, a complete sequence, timing, and a direct link you can save or share.
