Family curse: signs and removal

Feeling hopeless in the fight for their own happiness, many people finally ask themselves: why does misfortune keep haunting me? Very often they look for the cause in the intrigues of a neighbour, a rival, or a relative who knows a thing or two. But the cause may be far older and deeper.

Whether a curse hangs over your family line can be determined without visiting a healer, by taking a short test and answering its questions with yes or no.

If you answer yes twice, your family line most likely carries a generational curse.

Many who realise their line is cursed ask themselves and others: what for? The most powerful curses stretch back to the desecration of shrines, brazen murders, renouncing one's own blood relatives under violent pressure or out of conviction. A dying person's curse, when someone endures torment yet curses the guilty down to the seventh generation...

Nor should we discount the fact that people harbour the vicious traits of envy and hatred, and, with easy access to books, have learned to practise sorcery, spoil lives and curse others. A curse is often laid ritually.

A person struck by such an energy-and-information blow is in a difficult situation — they simply do not know what to do. When they catch the flu, they know what to do. Everyone knows that microbes, bacteria and viruses exist, so you go to a doctor for a prescription for the right medicine.

But what is to be done about a negative influence? The problem is that a person may categorically deny that such things exist at all — all the more so since countless luminaries of medicine, psychology and science keep seconding that belief. It is unproven, it is impossible, it is superstition, they say.

How can it be unproven when, for many years now, the world has published the wonderful books of Masaru Emoto, with magnificent photographs of water crystals after being exposed to a kind or a cruel word — and the word need not even be spoken aloud, written words work too. Are these not superb examples of how words and thoughts can affect matter?

Accidents, ruin and poverty can haunt the descendants of cursed family trees. Among the most terrible curses are those of a mother and a father. A daughter cursed by her mother is unlikely ever to build a happy personal life. And a father's curse brings the threat of psychosis and schizophrenia. But even the most terrible curse can be lifted.

Generational curses are very hard to lift. But it is entirely possible to lift them.

If you cursed yourself, weighed down by your sense of guilt.

1. You must forgive yourself for the sin for which you cursed yourself.

2. Then, in prayer, ask forgiveness of the Higher Powers, of God — for harming yourself, for taking upon yourself the role of judge over yourself. Many of the failures in a person's life come precisely from such negative workings, laid in the past by the person themselves.

First of all, to lift such a curse you must establish why this or that person cursed you, and this is best done through a good master. The mage performs a particular ritual in the course of which you must ask forgiveness before the soul of the person who cursed you for the harm done to them.

If your awareness of the sin you committed is sufficient, and the Higher Powers give their consent, the curse is lifted. If not, it will continue, so that you keep working on yourself and keep compensating the one you wronged — until the curse can be lifted.

They are the hardest to lift, for they hold great power, and so a person must fulfil the most conditions to have such a curse removed.

A ritual curse usually carries within it the death of the cursed one. Moreover, the whole family was cursed along with the culprit: all titles, ranks and honours of the line were annulled, all relatives were driven out of the country (or the city), and the family name was put to shame. The culprit themselves was executed, publicly or in secret, in ritual fashion, while their relatives were declared outlaws and became outcasts.

Most important of all: a person must sort themselves out, understand their own life and the karma of their own life and the lives of their kin, to see what lies behind such doom in their fate.

One of the heaviest curses — one for which there is often nothing to pay with to have it lifted. This is the curse of poverty. If you find yourself in exactly such a critical situation, try lifting it on your own.

Cover a table with a white cloth and set out the icons of the Lord Almighty, Joy of All Who Sorrow, the Trinity, and the Archangel Michael.

Lay a loaf of bread on the right, and coins as ransom from the curse on the left (as generous as you can). In the middle place a vase of spring water and a large candle.

Light a candle before each icon as well, and ask each icon for help. Then, before each icon, read the prayer that belongs to it. You will find these prayers in church prayer books.

Then lay your right hand on the bread and take the money in your left. Read the charm four times:

I will leave the house having prayed, I will go into the open field having crossed myself. Into the open field, toward the eastern side I will go, into the garden of paradise I will enter. Among the trees in that garden I will find my own tree. Saviour and Deliverer Jesus Christ, save and deliver my tree from the curse — on the silver kopeck, the ringing coin, the golden groschen. Lift, Jesus Christ, by Your power, by cross and fast, the curse of poverty, of debts, of undertakings, of crafts. Whoever sent the curse has taken it back upon themselves, all curses from the first to the last. Lift, Lord, from the tree of my kin the curse carried on the air and pondered in thought, spoken loud and whispered, on deceit, on forgery, on blight (mara), on gloom, on a crust of bread, on white or dark flour, on water, on rusks, on memorial pancakes! The Lord Himself helps me — He sweeps away the curse of poverty. With the Our Father prayer I will pray, at the Lord's feet I will bow. Grant me help at every dawn, at every hour.

Now light the large candle and say while it burns: As this candle melts, so melts the curse of poverty on my line. Amen.

On the same day visit a church, where you set candles for the repose of your departed relatives and for the health of the living. And candles before the icons of the Mother of God and of Joachim and Anna.

Leaving the church, give the money prepared as ransom from destitution to all who ask for Christ's sake. Coming home, divide the water from the vase into three parts: pour one under a fruit-bearing tree, add the second to food, and use the third when cleaning the house. Crumble the bread and give it to the birds.

A curse is a very strong, targeted energetic assault carrying an informational programme to destroy the fate or the life of a person or of their entire line. It is far stronger than the evil eye or hexed harm (porcha). Sometimes it works down to the seventh generation, until it is lifted.

It may also come from your previous life — as your karma, unworked, from a past life.
