Description
Utterly Wicked: Hexes, Curses, and Other Unsavoury Notions by Dorothy Morrison is a bold, no-nonsense exploration of defensive magick and practical spellcraft. Written in Morrison’s direct and experienced voice, this book addresses topics that many modern witchcraft guides avoid — including hexes, bindings and spiritual self-defence. Rather than encouraging reckless practice, it focuses on clarity, ethics and personal responsibility within magickal work.
This is not a fluffy introduction to candle spells; it is a grounded look at boundaries, justice work and the realities of energetic conflict. Morrison discusses when and why baneful magick has historically been used, how to protect yourself spiritually, and how to assess situations with discernment before acting. For practitioners who value honesty in their craft, this title offers perspective on shadow work, psychic protection and the importance of understanding the full spectrum of magick.
The book fits naturally alongside protection tools, warding rituals and cleansing practices. It can support experienced witches who wish to strengthen their boundaries, as well as curious readers wanting to understand the historical and ethical context of hexes and curses. While it explores controversial themes, the emphasis remains on thoughtful decision-making rather than impulsive spellcasting.
