Someone recently told me that they feel a certain person may have put a curse on my family. I don't normally like to believe in that sort of thing but due to an abnormal amount of "bad luck" that seems to be plaguing us lately I am really starting to wonder.


We have some bad blood with a certain gypsy who lives in Romania and I was told that gypsies are famous for putting curses on people. Do any of you know whether or not there could be any truth to something like this?

More importantly, if there is truth to it, is there a special prayer or anything that might help me? I know this sounds really insane but if you had seen the things that have been going on in my life since I began dealing (involuntarily) with this person, I think you'd understand how I could even consider such a thing.

I know that evil is real so it isn't so far fetched to me.

Have you spoken to a priest about any of this?


Nope, I wanted some opinions here before I go sounding like someone who needs to be committed. I have had one bad experience with trying to discuss something like this with a priest, I'd rather hear how unrealistic it is here than from a priest.

This is an area that few people have to deal with in their lifetime, and accordingly right it off as superstition, mental problems, etc. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

You should call your parrish and serveral others, looking for a Priest who works with and deals with such issues. We need to put on the full armor, to do battle, but go to a Priest or Other Catholic Clergy who knows the enemy better than you.

Are they real? Yes and no. A person has no power to put a curse on you. If you really are interested in generational curses there is a book “Healing the Family Tree” by Fr. John Hampsch. I have the book if you like- it’s yours, just PM.

Sin is what can cause you to be “cursed” not people or the devil. Sin can be passed on through the generations not the guilt, but the effects thus it’s like a mini original sin but the good news is, Jesus heals he wounds of sin.

Let me give an analogy. The US is “cursed” right now, look at us, one can not say we aren’t. Why? Well we live in a fallen world, that is the overall big picture here but we are responsible for this curse that has befallen us due to sin. When we quit the sin then the “curse” will be lifted.

We all have free will. Demons are real and evil exists and they do try to effect us and we do let them in our lives by our free will consent to sin. This is what a “curse” is. Our free will to sin when tempted and sometimes the effects of the sin are very far reaching and passed down. Like Alcoholism.

There is biblical support for this, “the sins of the father will visit the children” ect.

I think the problem is we are thinking of curses as something happening outside our free will to us and curses happen because of our free will, we let it in through sin, we give consent to it.

Hello my friend

I have personaly had experience with witchcraft, curses and the demonic, and I can assure that it is very real.

A lot witches and people who practice magick do not have any real powers or abilities. However, many do. Real curses are actually the placing of a demon or evil spirit unto a persons life, that is why Christians should not get involoved in witchcraft, mediums etc.

Many demons are territorial. They will stick to a certain place and not want to leave. For example my friend dealt with two christians whos new house had a buddist shrine in it for years, and the two were experiencing nightmares and discomfort. After praying over th ehouse the demon was gone and caused no more trouble.

I suggest that you just pray to God and ask him to break and curse and cast away any demon that would be causing problems.
Remember that demons shudder at the name of Christ and they have only power of you if you let me. Simply pray for them to go, and if it helps, command them in the name of Jesus.

For biblical help, read through Mark or Acts and see how Jesus and Christians dealt with mediums, witchcraft and the demonic etc

Thank you all for your responses. I have also had quite evil nightmares, I shared about that a long time ago as well. I do think that I have generational curses that need to be broken but somehow I do feel that this person has wished evil upon us. I know that prayer is the best weapon. I really wanted to get a range of opinions here before seeking any outside spiritual help. I don't want to sound like a basket case.
