how do I know if I'm cursed?

The simplest method is thus: Create a decoction of vervain. Use it to wash your body. If the run-off is full of hairs or has changed color, then witchcraft has been worked on you. If it remains clear, then it is simple ill health or bad luck.

Vervain (Verbena officinalis) has not had any side effects or drug interactions reported as of David Hoffmann’s 2003 Medical Herbalism: The Science and Practice of Herbal Medicine. As always, use a patch test to ensure no allergies. If you are worried about potential interactions, please speak to your doctor. USA Poison Control’s number is 1-800-222-1222. You use such remedies at your own risk.

As always, my inbox is open to all.

First read in Carr-Gomm, Philip, and Richard Heygate. The Book of English Magic. New York: Overlook Press, 2009.
