I need help with a gypsy curse.

It feels right to ask for help with this in the spirituality support section of the forum.I am 53 years old when I was 23 years old a Norse gypsy put a curse on me which so far has come true.She said I'd never marry the man that I want,I didn't marry him,she said I'd be in terrible pain,I was in pain for many many years she said I'd be terribly alone,and I have been and am,she asked me if I wanted to know how it ends,I was in shock and scared and panicked and not wanting to hear that I'd die etc I said no I didn't want to know thinking if she didn't plant the seeds of doom in my mind I could affect it so that the ending will be good.I don't know how she could wish me such harm and make it come true but it has,how do I end her curse and start to make good things happen to me?Anyone have any knowledge of gypsy magic and how to counteract it?I do live in fear of how it will end and I suffer pain and loneliness every day.

It sounds like she was reading your fortune. That is not an act of putting a curse on you.

Correct-- she planted seeds of doom in your mind from what she predicted would happen. Is there a talent that she truly has a psychic sense? IDK. But, what has happened to you, you can look back and say the gypsy was correct. Are you trying to make sense of things and give her credibility? IDK

No gypsy or anybody knows more about your destiny than you do. If you want to be happy, just let yourself be happy.

P.s. A counter-curse is to spit three times out the window in my culture.

Many superstitions have been a part of Jewish life through the ages. One is to spit three times in reaction to something especially good or evil. This is done by literally spitting or figuratively by saying “pooh, pooh, pooh.” Over time the saying of “pooh, pooh, pooh” substituted spitting due to its offensive custom. The explanation for ‘three times’ is because the number three is considered mystical. Long ago, people used to deem odd numbers lucky. Considering three was the first odd number after the unit (one), many people judged it as a magical number.

Nobody truly knows where this custom of spitting initiated. Some scholars believe it originated from the Christian Bible and the miracles carried out through the saliva of Jesus.

Upon witnessing, listening, or discovering something shocking, it is customary for believers in this superstition to spit to prevent such a tragedy from occurring. Moreover, spitting is traditional at something marvelous to defend against the Evil Eye (spiritual ability to injure a person). It is believed that spitting will protect one from trickery or evil spirits.

To echo TishaBuv, it sounds like she was reading your fortune. That being said, I think it was wrong of her and cruel to give you a negative fortune. I highly doubt she actually knew if those things would come true. Of course, thats just my opinion. It sounds like her words had a deep impact on you. Maybe it turned into a self fulfilling prophecy. The reason why "curses" work, is because the person inflicted believes wholeheartedly in what the curser says. The power of belief is very strong I have been told. Maybe try to open yourself up to the possibility that only you control your life and happiness.

I agree with Tisha Buv and starrysky...the woman was reading your fortune, and doing a bad job of it, at that. Please do something, whatever you believe in, to get rid of the idea that the fortuneteller 'cursed' you. I am 100% sure that you are giving the gypsy's crappy fortunetelling far more credit than it deserves.

She wasn't a fortuneteller and I didn't ask her to read my fortune,she asked for money for to give me a blessing and I didn't give her enough so she said she was going to curse me and went on to say I would never marry the man I want to marry,I would be in terrible pain and I will be terribly alone...then she asked if I wanted to know how it ends and I said no.No,she wasn't reading my fortune,she spoke it as if she knew,if she didn't know why have I been plagued by severe illness and in pain for years and why am I alone even though I have wanted people to love me and wanted friends etc?I don't care about not marrying who I wanted cos he was a nasty,cruel,emotionally unavailable jerk!I am not giving this gypsy credit,what she said would happen happened that is all I am saying.How do I end the curse that she put on me.I don't want to be told I am imagining it or assigning it importance it doesn't have cos that doesn't seem to me to be the truth.

Do you know what I can see what you are all saying,I must give no more energy to this so called curse by Lamenting about it and focusing on it and believing it.I must dismiss it and withdraw my power and belief in it from it to nullify it.I can see how it was a psychological trick,designed to make me contribute to any suffering by making it worse,by tricking me into giving this gypsy power that she doesn't actually have.Thanks all for your support.

What a wretched woman she was! Spit three times and let it go. If anything like it should ever happen again, spit three times on the gypsy! Lol

Saying that is a very cutting thing that would hurt anybody. What a horrid human being. I can predict her fortune, for sure. She'll get her just desserts.

Yes, she was a brutal, vile, bullying person. She was just trying to scare you into giving her money, that's all she was doing. Please try not to give power to a bully, a woman who is so bitter and frustrated with her life that she'd abuse you by saying garbage to you!

Hi Marylin, perhaps it would be helpful for you to remind yourself that so MANY people around the world have and are experiencing the type of life circumstances as the ones you've alluded to above - absolutely no 'curse' necessary for this to be present in one's life...

It does not sound like this individual you interacted with was operating from a place of wisdom and heightened awareness within... Far from it - and the seeking money from you and relaying distressing claims was a tell-tale sign of this...

I strongly concur with your recent post highlighting that you simply need to cease feeding conscious energy to these mental thought-forms that have been holding you back and have not been serving your best/highest interests... Time to let go of the 'old' and push yourself into new territory/waters.

How do you counter a curse? Laugh. For real, from the belly -laugh. Dispels the energy and you are free. Yes, it's that simple.

She is probably a witch.

If she really had magical powers, would she need to be panhandling?

Greed may be the motive, also manipulation.

((((Marilyn)))) I am sending positive healing vibes your way - of course I don't have any mystical powers but this is my way of saying I and others care.

I am glad you are rethinking her 'power', as has been said the curse you were 'given' is the experience many people have without a curse.

I understand your fear, when I was pregnant a gypsy came to my door and held the same demand over me - as I was pregnant my fears were heightened for my unborn child so I gave her the money. In return I got a Bart Simpson keyring and she told me I had a good man and must keep him, that my child would be a boy and bonny with curly hair and look more like a girl than a boy.

She had a 50-50 chance of getting the sex right (she hit lucky he was a boy), as for my husband well most pregnant women are very agreeable to be told they picked a good man, she was just telling me what I wanted to hear. Oh and the curly hair is yet to appear on my son, and as he's an adult now I can say at no point as he ever looked at all girlish (big strong guy!). Just ridiculous.

It's sad really, but possibly the only life these women (your gypsy and mine) knew.

Blessings to you! Words hold great power. There are those who abuse the power of words and inflict pain on others with them. This is what was done to you. I am very sorry that occurred in your life.
Because this is an area I work with closely - removing the curses and harm others place on people who are unable to defend themselves, I wanted to offer you a gift that will break the curse. It is from my heart to yours. They are only words, and it is your choice to hear them if you would like. They are a gift... for you.

Years of sorrow vanish in the blink of an eye.
The pain and wounds in your side,
the tears that fall which none can know,
the Stars above and Earth below
When you next reach out to them
stretching your arms so high
barefoot upon Mother Earth
your soul will feel it fly
the curse lifted up by the moon
the sorrow buried inside Earth's tomb
Your heart anew will glow with light
From that time forward will have no fright
Unbound, unchained, you will be free
repeat these words unto thee

"I forgive the one who cast that curse
Releasing it now unto the Earth
Claiming my place among the Stars
My life now begins."

I agree. She's a nasty crone. You may want to get an Evil Eye or Hamsa charm. It will make you feel better and other's icky vibes won't stick to you.

True. Good point.

According to gypsy folklore, a curse can be lifted if the cursed one finds someone who will willingly take the burden. I would be more than willing to accept it if you would only release it to me. I am not offering because I don't believe - I neither believe nor disbelieve, but serving others releases a power that I do believe is greater than any curse. So let me serve a sister and will it to me.

I don't believe in curses. I agree too that 'reading a fortune' is not the same as casting a curse. Incidentally I read cards and have never read a fortune. I use cards instead to help me see differing contexts of a situation and the multiple manner a situation may play itself out. It should be thus a learning tool

I wish I could be supportive but my opinion is that you have been taken in by this woman (there is no such thing a Norse Gypsy by the way) and are allowing what she said to run your life. As you earnestly believed her at the time it only makes sense that you 'see' instance after instance of it playing out the way you believe it ought to - you have been looking for signs. I completely am of the opinion that if you just forgot about the whole thing you would be happier. In this manner, you would be 'breaking the curse' entirely by yourself.

I did forget since I last posted here about the curse.The gypsy hated me for another reason besides not giving her enough money.She had a friend who had tried to win the lease for the shop I was working in but my dad won it instead.So they were jealous.

These last few days I encounter the man I had loved and wanted to marry!It brought back horrific memories of the abuse he subjected me to.He was and is a narcissist.This is the man the gypsy said I'd never marry.I don't care about that cos he is bad.I didn't ask the gypsy to give me my pound back something inside me told me to let her do her worse I could survive it I just didn't let her tell me how it ends so that I could make my own ending.

Have I somehow dodge a bullet cos if I had been meant to marry him and didn't but he is a narcissist anyway then surely it's a good thing I didn't marry him?But I spent years ill and in terrible pain like the gypsy said cos I was ill and stuck running after my selfish narc family's needs.

Now I am lamenting and hung up on the last bit of the curse that I'd be terribly alone always.I feel loneliness has been my issue brought with me here from a past life and the gypsy was able to discern that.

I am not saying the gypsy made these things happen by cursing me but sometimes the sheer malicious animosity of her words and the nastiness of other people who have orchestrated to destroy me makes me feel the curse is real.Sometimes I feel I am fighting an on going battle against it!

So I came back to this thread today to be encouraged by the poem of the person that lifted the curse and hopefully if I perceive that there is no real power in it but only the energy I give to fearing and believing it is fuelling it hopefully I can release it and let is go.

If anyone else has words of support and encouragement I welcome you and thank you.

I just reread this.In my life now I feel I have reached the state and place where it says" Your heart anew will glow with light.From that time forward have no fright.Unbound unchained you will be free.Repeat these words unto thee.

I forgive the one who cast that curse
Releasing it now unto the earth
Claiming my place among the stars
My life now begins"

I want to thank you Wepow for this wonderful blessing.I don't know if you are still on this forum.You a a wonderful,kind and beautiful person!Thanks again.

No such thing. I am sorry you feel you must believe this. Please please don't. This is not reality.

Those who truly have the gift no better than to charge for it. This is frowned upon. This person is a fraud. Ignore them.

You might research a Hot Foot spell. HF gets anyone "off your back." It does not harm them, it just removes them and anything they have done to you from your life.
