Hex

Hex is a spell or curse believed to invoke bad luck, harm, or misfortune upon a person, object, or place. Historically rooted in folk magic and witchcraft, hexes often involve rituals or symbolic acts intended to manipulate unseen forces for negative outcomes.

While folklore treats hexes as supernatural impositions, scientific perspectives attribute reported effects to psychological influences or coincidence, viewing them as cultural expressions of fear and control rather than verifiable phenomena. The concept remains a powerful element in stories of curses and unexplained misfortunes around the world.
