| | Curse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Belief in curses is found in many cultures and is mentioned in the scriptures of many religions. | | | A number of sections of the Talmud show a belief in the power of curses (Berachot 19a, 56a.) In some cases, a curse is described as related to the nature of a prayer (Ta'an. | | | Moreover, when negative or painful spiritual possession and demonic possession are viewed as varieties of curse, the religious authorities may see to it that there is a sanctioned way for the curse to be removed. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Cursing |
| | The word curse is also applied to the victim of expiation for sin (Galatians 3:13), to sins temporal and eternal (Genesis 2:17; Matthew 25:41). | | | In its popular acceptation cursing is often confounded, especially in the phrase "cursing and swearing", with the use of profane and insulting language; in canon law it sometimes signifies the ban of excommunication pronounced by the Church. | | | Similarly Noe curses Chanaan (Genesis 9:25); Josue, him who should build the city of Jericho (Joshua 6:26-27); and in various books of the Old Testament there are long lists of curses against transgressors of the Law (cf. |

| | Urban Legends Reference Pages: History (The Curse of Tecumseh) |
| | As to what to make of the "curse," it's interesting to note that since 1840, only one President other than those supposedly felled by this ill-wishing has died in office: Zachary Taylor, who was elected in 1848 and died in 1850 of a stomach ailment. | | | Another version attributes the curse to Tenskwatawa (also known as "The Prophet"), a Shawnee medicine man who was half-brother to Tecumseh. | | | Such a string of presidential mortality is deemed too improbable to have occurred naturally, giving rise to rumors about a fatal Indian curse among those unwilling to recognize that chaos sometimes takes the form of coincidence. |

| | curse |
| | Curses seem to have been a regular part of ancient cultures and may have been a way to frighten enemies and explain the apparent injustices of the world. | | | A curse is a prayer or invocation expressing a wish that harm, misfortune, injury, great evil, etc., be brought upon another person, place, thing, clan, nation, etc. People are also said to be cursed if harm comes to them regularly or in seeming disproportion to the rest of us. | | | The Old Testament is a litany of curses. |

| | Ancient Greek Curse Tablets |
| | Athens cursed Alcibiades, the Benedict Arnold of his day, and there is a very interesting curse tablet from Athens that dates to the period of the Macedonian hegemony that seems to curse systematically important Macedonian generals, and the Macedonian governor of Athens and his staff. | | | The hundreds of curse tablets we have from classical and Hellenistic Athens were all written on lead, and in order to empower them you had to physically place them in the ground. | | | A hundred years earlier, a curse tablet found in Athens would address Hades, Persephone, or Hermes, but suddenly they're addressing Yahweh, the Jewish god; Seth and the Egyptian gods; and gods that we don't even know, although some seem to be Persian. |
