I want to start with the word uncrossing itself.
In traditional folk magic, in particular with more southern conjured traditions, Appalachian folk magic, and many European magical systems, the word crossed simply means that your path has become spiritually obstructed.
Notice I didn't say the word cursed in there.
let's think of life here i go with the metaphors think of your life as a flowing river normally your energy moves fairly freely opportunities come to you your relationships develop you recover from setbacks life isn't perfect but it's constantly shifting moving being crossed is like having branches, mud, rocks, stone, and debris clogging that river.
Maybe it's because someone intentionally threw the branches in it.
Maybe a storm did it.
Maybe they've slowly collected over the years of your life.
Either way, the waters of your life are not flowing as they are supposed to.
That is what uncrossing magic addresses.
So sometimes the blockage comes from outside influences.
Sometimes it comes from within ourselves.
Most of the time I've found it tends to be more of a combination of both.
There's a misconception that I wish we could erase from modern witchcraft entirely, which is the belief that every difficult period of your life means that someone is attacking you spiritually at that moment.
Sometimes, we all know, other people can absolutely send us very harmful energy.
Sometimes people gossip or they obsess over you.
Sometimes they will direct envy, jealousy towards you.
Those things can have massive energetic consequences.
However, they're not the only explanation to this.
Grief, your grief can leave residue.
Trauma leaves residue.
Stress leaves residue.
Working in emotionally heavy environments can leave residue.
I'm very familiar with that one.
Being in hospitals, funeral homes, schools, retail, healthcare, social work, emergency services, even simply being around highly emotional people every day can create energetic buildup for us.
