The Curse

The Curse

Here’s one interpretation.

A "curse" describes the limiting beliefs of our ancestors and their effects on our present lives. The Curse forces us to believe a lie that we mistake for truth. It causes negative patterns, illness, or creative blockages in our lives today. Identifying the original ancestral trauma manifesting in our lives can heal it.

When this card appears, here are a few actions you might consider.

It's time to identify where your limiting beliefs come from.

For example:

Did your ancestors have a limited-resources mindset

Or do you have heart disease-causing genes?

In a previous life, were you a ruler or an enslaved person?

We must recognize, untangle, and let go of this limiting spiritual heritage.

Respect your ancestors and their experiences. But also create a new path for yourself.

If this card appears upside down or reversed, and you choose to include its position as part of your reading, here's what it could mean.

Be mindful of what you do! Act to avoid creating karma that you, your children, or others must repay. Treat others the same way you treat yourself and the people you care about the most. You now have the chance to clean up past karmic debts.
