hexings
Putting on jinxes
Hexings are acts of placing curses or spells on someone, from the verb hex.
The word carries connotations of folk magic and witchcraft: She blamed her bad luck on the old woman's hexings.
Hexings can be literal belief or figurative—a sports team suffering hexings from a rival's fans.
