Can I find out if I have a hex on me, and get rid of it with Wicca?

At one time, the word “hex” simply indicated the practice of magic or witchcraft, but those days are long gone. The strange and wonderful world of semantics has mutated the word into a darker form. The art of the hex, means putting a nasty spell on someone you hate. A hex is the supernatural equivalent of hitting someone over the head with a baseball bat. There are various types of hexes, but they boil down to making bad things happen to people you hate.

Hexes can be very general or very precise. The simplest hexes simply mess with the victim and cause a streak of bad luck. More sophisticated hexes target a victim’s wealth, health, even specific body parts. There is a booming worldwide industry in hex removal. Whether or not you believe in hexes, listen to the following statement and believe it with all your heart: Anyone that charges money to remove a hex is not your friend. There are many web pages that offer Hex Removal kits for various amounts of money.

Westerners, and particularly Americans, are vulnerable to an ongoing scam where a psychic for a reading, the psychic says you have been cursed the psychic explains the curse can be removed $500. You give the psychic money, but your life does not improve. The psychic explains the curse was more difficult that he or she thought and they offer to remove the curse for $2,000. On and on but the amount of money keeps increasing.

If you are worried that you have been cursed, there are plenty of happy, good-hearted New Agers and witches who will attempt to help you for free.
