“I have a very personal and unusual question about curses. If there’s already an existing thread on this topic, feel free to point me there.
Especially this year, more and more signs have been piling up that I might actually be under a curse. It probably sounds insane, but the idea of a curse has been lurking in the back of my mind for a very long time.
As a child I already had an extreme, almost panic-level fear of water whenever I couldn’t see the bottom. I always had the feeling that there was an invisible, dangerous world lurking beneath the surface. Later, when I married a Sicilian man and spent every summer by the sea in Sicily, I was probably the only person for miles around who never once went into the water. My reasoning at the time: “So many refugees drown there – I’ll be the one person who ends up face-to-face with a dead body floating by.” When the movie Titanic came out in 1997, something broke open inside me: overwhelming fear, short flashes that felt like memories. Ever since then I’ve been convinced that my water phobia stems from a past life (most likely drowning).
2014 became the real turning point. Quick background: My ex-husband is Sicilian. In his family and circle, belief in black magic and curses is extremely strong and taken completely seriously. I personally witnessed him giving money to an old “witch” on the promenade because he was terrified of being cursed otherwise (his father had once refused and shortly afterward had a serious accident). There were stories of Ouija board sessions where one cousin nearly lost his mind and was allegedly lifted 50 cm off the bed by invisible forces – after that, a “witch” was called to heal him. This kind of thing was completely normal in the entire extended family.
In 2013 I finally reached the point where I knew I could no longer stay married to him. He is a highly malignant narcissist who had drained every last bit of life energy from me over the years. When I told him the marriage was over, one of his cousins urgently warned me never to leave the shared house under any circumstances – otherwise he would “destroy” me and the children. She knew what she was talking about. So I stayed and fought silently. Half a year later he moved out. I resisted all his attempts at manipulation and the pressure from his entire Italian clan. In the end he received only a very small share of the house value. Since then he hates me with a burning passion.
And exactly from 2014 onward an absolutely absurd series of water-related damages began in that very house – starting small, then becoming ever more severe and completely inexplicable. Burst pipes in places that had never had issues before, leaks that even specialists can’t explain, mold, flooding, etc. It never stops. By now it has become so extreme that my eldest son and his family, who live with me in the house, are seriously considering moving out because the constant repairs are no longer manageable. Everyone around me now says: “This isn’t normal anymore – something feels very eerie here.”
Recently I spoke with a friend who has completed shamanic training. Without me prompting her in any particular direction, she said: “This sounds very strongly like a curse or a targeted energetic attack.
I actually consider myself a realist and rational person, but after more than 10 years of nonstop, exclusively water-related disasters, I no longer believe this is coincidence.
So my concrete question is:Can a house (or a person) really be cursed in such a targeted way that it is constantly hit by water damage? And if so – are there serious, effective methods to remove such a curse and cleanse both the house and oneself?
I would be endlessly grateful for personal experiences or recommendations of reputable practitioners who have experience specifically with Sicilian / southern Italian curses.
Thank you so much already for reading this very long post.
