Beschreibung

All words have a value, they have a truth.  Even misinforming us is part of their job.  But they are only words, sticks and stones etc etc. 
 
But in this volume our authors explore the use of curses.  These strings of words might seem harmless enough if you don’t believe they can have any ill effect.  Little by little, though, sometimes they do.   Our brains connect curse with that action, that happening and now we might be seeing them as cause and effect.   Perhaps that curse really does have some power, some potency, and if that is so maybe that curse is malevolent and its true purpose is not to wish us good.
