Hex, Curse or Binding

[ImMappam]

Namaste
Good Morning and Merry Meet

I have been asked recently what is different about a hex, a curse and a
binding. They qualify to me that within Wicca there is a pledge to harm
none and that all three would come under that classification.

I do believe in the Wicca Rede and also have a Shaman combination
belief so let me give you my take on this.

A curse although it can be specifically aimed, is a deterant to doing
something. In other words, if you do this, then this is going to be
your result. Yes these are usually bad things but they are usually
placed as protections to some other evil. This is the muddiest of the
three because it takes an action to invoke and is usually a well warned
issue. i.e. Cursing all who enter the wrath of (pick an entity).

A hex is a specific negative action against a specific person. Here
there is no doubt who the intended target would be or what the desired
effects on that person were requested.

A binding is different even though it is the intent to limit the free
will of others. Here we have a protection for the sake of ones self or
others from a specific person's action.

Now where does the Rede come into this and how are these things
applied? I can give you my opinion. The Wicca practitionor has pledged
to do harm to none within there will and the will of the God and
Goddess. It isn't that they can't it is that they won't. This is a big
difference. Can't means that they are incapable of doing harm, won't
means that they go to great lengths to keep from harming others. A few
examples of these words with a Wicca.
1 Curse - A Wicca may curse something because they find harm in it.
There is a warning to this to show intent of the harm that could be if
someone else proceded. Although this is rare, and even rarer to call it
a curse, the subconscious often instinctively puts out these types of
warnings. Just the announcement that "I'm a Witch" in todays society is
a warning to all, that because of the modern day understandings of what
a witch is, there will be consequences to messing with that person. And
actually if you think about it, negative karma is the result of many a
person who did not take heed to the warning.
2.Hex - Although the Wicca vows to won't they could if they wanted. The
Rede forbids action that brings negative action to another much like
the laws of the land. Laws can be broken even within the Wicca
community and they will not only bring about the intended negative
action but will bring a negative karmic response to the hexer.
Therefore the Wicca will try to always remain withing the laws of their
beliefs to accomplish their tasks. Example two people are going for the
same job. You could hex the other person and get the job yourself or as
the Wicca you would send and accept energies to make yourself more
successful than all others for that position.
3. Bindings - A binding is usually done of magiks that will limit the
powers of others who practice magicks in an attempt to keep them from
harming themselves or other people. It sets a limitation on the
workings of the person being bound so that, that person cannot do
magiks that would effect others in an adverse way. The Rede allows for
binding because it is a magickal limitation to the Wicca law preventing
the karmic consequenses.

Okay, I think I have explained my version of this issue although LOL I
feel a bit like I've talked in circles. And hopefully I haven't
forgotten something. Like I said I believe in the Rede because for me I
think it has great bennifit socially as well as karmicly.

Blessed Be My Friends and to those who think for themselves.

I did a binding on a guy about a yr ago. He was causing terrible pain in the life of my b/f's daughter Nicki. We were so sick of him beating her, and being abusive in every way and getting away with it. her grandmother came to me and proposed we put a hex on him, mind you this is a catholic woman! She had talked to a friend and came up with a sort of freeze spell but wanted to make it so her words were harmful to him if Nicki was harmed again. I talked her out of it and told her about the spell that wouldn't come back at her. WE started to take actions against him after we did it, we called the cops, we had his car impounded by doing so, he was illegal, we called his boxing coach and told him he was beating a girl, they dropped him and wouldn't let him back in. His life was a mess just like he was doing to Nicki, he hasn't beat her that we know of since the freeze, he has stepped back a bit and it seems like they are letting go of this terrible relationship slowly. I think doing the spell was the first action and then we felt stronger to take actions after that.  
Blessed be,
Kim

Namaste,
I like it, you gave what was given. Karma is often achieved thru
others.

Protection energy to the girl and family. Keys of learning to the guy.

Blessed Be for taking a hand
