The journey through the world of hexes reveals not only the complexities of these magickal workings but also the resilience and resourcefulness of those who seek to protect themselves or counteract their effects.
In modern times, awareness and ethical considerations in the practice of magick underscore the importance of intention and the universal law of "harm none." As we explore the enigmatic nature of hexes, we uncover a fascinating intersection of fear, power, and the deep, enduring human connection to the unseen forces that shape our lives and destinies.
PLEASE NOTE: IT'S IMPORTANT NOT TO JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS...MANY LIFE CHALLENGES ARE NOT THE RESULT OF MALEVOLENT MAGICK... but sometimes they can be.

You'll Need: A pendulum
Instructions: - Ensure you are in a calm state of mind. Cleanse your pendulum by holding it under running water, then dry it. Hold the pendulum still, suspended from your hand. Clearly ask, "Is there a hex affecting me?
Interpretation - A forward and backward motion generally signifies 'yes', while a side to side motion means 'no'. The pendulum’s response is believed to tap into your subconscious and the universal consciousness. Depending on the answer, you may want to ask more detailed questions to uncover the source of the hex or how to remedy it.

Lemon + Clove Ward
This spell has been used across a few cultures however I could only trace it furthest back to Italian folk magic. It's popular in Hoodoo as well.
It contains lemon, clove, and salt - with an optional black candle.
-Get your lemon and a clean knife and say in your head or out loud "I pierce through any malicious energy being directed my way" .
-Using a whole lemon sliced in half, or just half (I used half because I wanted some for my tea lol), place 13 cloves into each half, reciting a mantra or prayer of sorts along the lines of "I protect myself and/or loved ones from all baneful energy" as you place each clove.
-In a bowl or on a plate, place your lemon and sprinkle generously with salt. Salt is purifying and adds an additional layer of protection. If you know you're being targeted, you could say something like "may you feel the sting of the salt and lemon when you think negatively of me"
-I always like to add a candle to my plate to give my ward a little energetic boost.
Then I leave it in my house for about a week or so - you'll know when it's time to toss. If your lemon gets mouldy, it can be an indication of negative energy - particularly if you've used enough salt to inhibit mould growth.
ALTERNATIVE
another way to cut the lemon is to cut a cross into the flesh of the top of a lemon and place your cloves in that way, instead of slicing all the way through.
