If you’ve ever encountered a hex or unwanted energy, you know the sensation of feeling weighed down and powerless – like the darkness has a grip on your life that just won’t let go. But it doesn’t have to be this way. With careful effort and knowledge, it is possible to break free from hexes and reclaim your power. In this blog post, we will explore how witches and pagans can recognize when they are under a hex, as well as strategies for neutralizing its effects and breaking free once and for all.
How To Break A Hex
Are you feeling weighed down and exhausted, as if there is a dark cloud looming around your head? It’s possible that someone has hexed you! Hexing is an old form of witchcraft used to cause harm or misfortune to a person by magickal means.
That said, it’s very improbable that you’ve been cursed. In order for this to happen, someone would have to possess a few things: the knowledge and materials to do so, a tag lock of some kind, and some incredibly ill intent directed your way. So, how do you actually know if someone has placed a curse on you?
How To Know If You’ve Been Cursed
Inexplicable Bad Luck
One of the first signs that you may have been cursed is if you start experiencing a run of bad luck. This may manifest in a variety of ways, such as losing your job, getting into car accidents, or having your home broken into. You may feel like the universe is against you or things are constantly going wrong in your life. If you suddenly find yourself plagued with misfortune, it may be an indication of baneful magick.
Strange Dreams & Hallucinations
Inexplicable nightmares or strange recurring dreams may also be a side-effect of a curse or hex, so pay close attention to the symbolism in your dreams to help determine if this is the case. These dreams may be vivid and disturbing, and they may leave you feeling scared or uneasy. The line between dreams and reality may become blurred.
If you start seeing things that aren’t really there it could be a sign that you’ve been cursed. These hallucinations can be extremely frightening and may cause you to feel like you’re losing your mind.

Feeling Drained
If you start to feel inexplicably tired or drained, it may be a sign that you’ve been cursed. This fatigue can come on suddenly and without warning, and it can make it difficult to concentrate or get through your day-to-day tasks. If you find yourself feeling excessively tired for no reason, it may be an indication that someone has placed a curse on you.
Physical Illness
Another sign that you may have been cursed is if you start to experience physical illness. This could manifest in a variety of ways, such as sudden weight loss or gain, hair loss, skin problems, or gastrointestinal issues. If you start to experience any physical changes that you can’t explain, it may be the result of a curse. To be sure, always consult a medical professional for health-related issues before resorting to spiritual methods.

Behavioral Changes
If you find yourself behaving in ways that are out of character for you, it may be a sign that you’ve been cursed. This could manifest as sudden anger, depression, anxiety, mood swings, or other mental health issues. If you find yourself struggling to cope with everyday life, there’s a chance that you have been targeted by a curse. That said, try to seek therapy or professional help if you have been experiencing mental health problems.
Removing A Curse Or Hex
Cleansing
If you suspect that you are being affected by negative energy, you can perform a salt bath to cleanse yourself of that unwanted spiritual gunk.
Start by adding salt to your bath for cleansing and grounding. Feel free to add any herbs that may help in purification and cleansing. As you fill the tub with hot water, visualize positive energy in the form of white light filling the water. Step into the tub, and imagine yourself being submerged in its cleansing light.
While you lie in the cleansing waters, imagine the white light all around you, connecting you to Source. Feel free to say a prayer or perform a meditation, if it feels appropriate. Otherwise, you can just visualize the water around you lapping away all that unwanted energy. When you’re done, let the water drain, and imagine all that spiritual gunk getting washed away.
Unbinding
A binding spell is performed with the intention of preventing the target from doing something, such as achieving a goal or inflicting harm upon someone. If you find yourself subject to a binding spell, you may start to feel mentally or physically restricted. Luckily, it is possible to break the chains that bind you.
You Will Need:
Steps:
- Cast a circle (or use your preferred method of protection).
- Pour the salt into the bowl and place the candle in the salt.
- Light the candle and say the following words:
“Set me free from ties that bind
From this plane and beyond,
Set me free from ill intent
The chains that bound me are gone.”
- Allow the candle to fully extinguish and dispose of your materials in a safe location.
Hex-Breaking Spell
If cleansing and unbinding won’t solve your problem, then there’s a distinct possibility that you’ve been hexed. While it’s unlikely that you’ve actually been cursed by an individual wishing you ill intent, there are still measures you can take to dispel any hexes that you suspect have been placed upon you.
You Will Need:
- A small jar
- A length of string or cord
- A brown paper bag
Steps:
- Carefully wrap the cord around the neck of the jar three times, while stating the following:
“Within this jar I now contain
Any curse I have sustained.”
- Tie a knot in the cord, sealing in your intention.
- Place your jar inside the brown paper bag.
- In a safe location, break the jar and dispose of the pieces. (The broken glass should be contained within the brown paper bag. Be extra careful when throwing this away!)
Protection From Curses, Hexes, & Baneful Magick
If you suspect that you are the target of baneful magick, then the best method moving forward is to make sure you’re protected! You can create a ward or even use a mirror to return any ill will back to its sender, ensuring that those who wish you harm will be the ones receiving it instead.
Breaking a hex requires a lot of effort and patience. If you feel like some unseen force is preventing you from achieving your goals or that any other supernatural activity is underway, casting a reversal spell may be the best way to get out of it. Whatever method fits your beliefs, be sure to take it seriously enough to carry it out effectively. If not done properly, breaking a hex could lead to even stronger manifestations of negative energy or worse luck than before. So, always research and consult an experienced practitioner if needed – for your own safety as well as your well-being!
