hexes
Witch's dark incantations
Hexes are curses or spells, especially those cast with malicious intent: She believed someone had put a hex on her family.
To hex is to cast such a spell or to bring bad luck.
The word carries associations with folk magic and superstition.
Figuratively, anything that seems to invite misfortune might hex you: Don't say we'll win—you'll hex us.
