49: Hexes, Curses, Bindings - Oh My!
from Becoming Witchy Hosted by Kelly of Bramble and Brimstone
In this episode of Becoming Witchy, we’re diving into the often-misunderstood world of baneful magic—hexes, curses, and bindings. While these spells are frequently labeled as “bad” or taboo, it’s important to explore their historical and cultural context. From protection to justice, these forms of magic have long been used by marginalized communities to reclaim power and prevent harm. We’ll unpack the nuances of these practices, challenge ingrained stigmas, and discuss how intent and framing shape our perception of these types of magic. Plus, in Seasonal Corner, we celebrate the early signs of spring—magnolia blooms, seed-starting, and the fresh energy of the season. Tune in and rethink the way you view baneful magic!
