It’s a question many seekers whisper in moments of despair: “Am I cursed?” When life unravels, relationships break down, or misfortune strikes again and again, it’s natural to wonder if unseen forces are working against you. But in most cases, the answer isn’t a curse—it’s a spiritual awakening in disguise.
Curses Are Rare
In occult traditions, curses do exist—but they’re far rarer than people think. Casting an effective curse takes skill, intent, and sustained energy. Most people who fear they’re cursed are actually experiencing intense energetic shifts, not deliberate harm from another.
If you’re feeling hexed, it’s more likely you’re navigating a Tower moment—a concept from the Tarot that symbolizes sudden upheaval, ego collapse, and radical transformation. This archetype often appears when the Universe clears away illusions to make space for truth and growth.
Signs It’s Not a Curse, But a Spiritual Awakening
- Recurring patterns: Instead of random chaos, are the same lessons repeating? This points more toward karmic cycles than cursework.
- Sudden loss or change: These are Tower signs, where life feels like it’s crumbling to push you toward spiritual realignment.
- Heightened intuition or dreams: Many report strange dreams or a pull toward the occult—signs of awakening, not attack.
- Emotional overwhelm: Feeling lost or anxious is common when you’re shedding outdated beliefs or identities.
The Universe Is Speaking
Rather than punishment, you might be receiving a message: it’s time to listen inward. The Universe uses discomfort to redirect us. Whether it’s pushing you away from toxic environments or nudging you toward shadow work, these signs aren’t curses—they’re invitations.
Ask yourself:
- What is this experience trying to teach me?
- What am I being asked to release?
- Where have I given away my power?
Through this lens, what seems like a curse may actually be a sacred crossroads—a call to reclaim your path, align your energy, and return to spiritual sovereignty.
When to Seek Help
That said, if the energy around you feels persistently heavy, intrusive, or draining—especially after eliminating mundane causes—it’s valid to seek guidance from an experienced practitioner (please check out my tarot readings). But always remember: true empowerment comes not from fearing curses, but from understanding your own power.
