Until You Do Right By Me…

hellboundwitch:

My favourite curse comes from The Color Purple. I think I must have watched that movie a million times when I was a little girl.

And while I can still quote most of the movie from memory, the scene where Celie curses her husband will always stick out most in my mind. Until you do right by me, everything you think about is gonna crumble. Until you do right by me, everything you even think about gonna fail.

I curse you.

Everything you touch will crumble.

Everything you even dream about will fail.

So how do you cast it? I did it like Celie. With anger. Finger pointing is optional. But I did it. I summoned every shred of heartbreak and anger and hate I had in me and I laced every word with it.

There were no candles.

I did not pray.

No jars were shook.

I was broken, but still a witch, and it was going to damned well happen without anything other than me needing it to happen, anything other than me demanding that it happen, or else I wouldn’t make it through.
