So everything in your life is going to crap. You've lost your job, your wife, your truck, the dog. The kids hate you. Your health has gone to hell. You are ready to cash in your chips, as it were. Did you ever think that maybe you pissed someone off to the point where they cursed you? It happens. Maybe we can get this thing off you, or at least turn your mindset around and get you into a new life. Dude! You're about to cash in! What can a little experiment into the realm of the supernatural hurt? With me? Ok, then tough it out for a few weeks, and try these 7 ways to get rid of curses.

1. Time to completion, 3 days. On the first day put 2 teaspoons of salt in a cup of water. Stand outside at sunset and sprinkle the water around you in a circle. The next day, write the name of the person you think cursed you, even if they are dead, on a piece of paper and burn it. Don't know the persons name? Put "universe", hey I don't make this stuff up. Again, do this exactly at sunset. On the third day, put an ice cube in a cup. Sit down in a quiet place where you won't be disturbed and think about your problems going away as you watch the ice melt. The next morning you should wake up feeling a little better about your life. Every day after should get a little bit better.

2. Get a small candle, like a tea light, black if you can find one. At sunset, put the candle in a little bit of water. Enough that the water will eventually overflow the candle. As you watch the flame melt the wax, and watch the candle burning down, imagine that the candle represents your problems. Imagine them burning away. When the candle goes out take the entire mess outside and bury it.

3. Get a long wooden match. Hold it in your hands and let it absorb all of the negativity that you feel. Let all of your problems flow into that match. Let it become a physical representation of all that is wrong with your life. Then burn it. It's that simple. Just let it burn. Repeat this every night until you feel better about things.

4. Get a rock. Any type of rock, then hold it while you think about your problems. Let all of your problems flow into the rock. Let it become one with your negative emotions. Drive out into the wild areas and give it another dose of bad emotions and then throw it. Get it as far from yourself as you can, then forget about it. Don't think about the problems that you dumped into it, or the rock, or any of it. Don't worry about whether the problems will leave you. Don't worry about the rock coming back. They aren't your problems any more.

5. Pray. I know that in this day and age, praying is old and not really done anymore. Do it with honesty and in earnest. Do not do it over and over and over. When you do that it smacks of insincerity and lacks faith. You have to believe that the problems will be handled by someone other than you.

6. Primal scream. This does help! Go out into the wilderness somewhere, and just scream. Scream until there is nothing left in your heart, soul, or lungs. Let it go. If you are far enough out, there won't be anyone to hear you. Let all of your problems go. As you scream, feel the bad situation going with it. It's called a primal scream for a reason. You don't have to use words. Just the vibration from the noise is all you really need.

7. Laugh. That's right. Laughter is not just for boggarts. It can transform all kinds of badness to good. See you problem in front of you and laugh. Not a fake, hollow, insincere, twitter. I mean really put your all into it. Feel the joy that comes from your laughter. Let it rise about you like a shield that no evil can get through. Laugh from your feet and let it build inside and around you. It will be extremely hard at first, but the more you do it the easier it will get. Laugh as if the world were to think you a lune. Remember to do this as often as you can. Happiness and joy are contagious and laughter is too.
