I do not in anyway believe in the death penalty. A lot of the reasons people have already stated, also, if I wanted everyone "killed" who hurt or harmed me or my family...well, let's just say there would already be a trail. Cause we hurt or harm each other a lot in our society. I prefer cursing said offenders.

As a witch, I believe that we are responsible for ourselves. We like to pursue the positive and give ourselves credit when we take a proactive approach and accomplish something. But when it comes to the anger, the betrayals, the abuse, murder, assault and so forth, too often we give the job over to someone else to do (e.g. the state, the universe, the God/dess).

I believe in cursing. It is a tradition of lots of cultures and I think it was Z Budapest that said that a Witch who cannot hex cannot heal.

Cursing can be about more than just the person who is your target. It can be healing for you. It can purge you of the hurt and anger and propel you towards a better place. I'm working on the assumption that you have been seriously wronged. I'm not talking about cursing your stylist because she gave you a bad haircut or just releasing misdirected anger. But if someone has injured you, why not hold them accountable? If you don't, who will? As a witch/Crone we must create the world we want. Do you want your world to be one where people just get away with injustices? It is just a matter of HOW, we as a society, want to handle injustice. I chose to handle it in my witchypooh way.
