I paid an Etsy witch to put a revenge spell on my toxic former manager - and I think it worked....

The user worked in a toxic environment that left her and other employees often miserable. However, the one who made it a living hell for them was her department head. Although she was initially treated as a star employee, due to the work stress, her performance declined. This led to her head taking her frustrations out on her and eventually firing her from the job. While she soon found a better job, resentment lingered. During this time, she contacted a witch on Etsy and paid $25 to cast a revenge spell on her. A month later, after she had completely forgotten about the spell, she received an update from her colleague that her department head had been removed from the position.
The ex-employee clarified that she did not intend to cause personal harm; she only wanted to impact her former boss’s career. "There was a major reckoning; HR got involved, people spoke candidly, the truth came out, and the extent of her nastiness came to light. I couldn't believe it," she noted. She believed the spell may have played a role; she also emphasized that narcissistic managers eventually face consequences for their actions. While casting spells on someone is a double-edged sword, the woman's story echoes that negativity eventually has repercussions. While it's unclear whether she lost her position due to the spell or not, it is certainly clear that hateful actions come at a cost, and it's always important to be kind to anyone.
Following her post going viral, many users shared their thoughts on it. u/any-baker414 mentioned, "At least you were responsible and put limits on the spell, not to physically harm the person or ruin their personal life." u/ElenaBlackthorn remarked, "The Etsy spell may not have had anything to do with your ex manager’s downfall. Sounds like she had it coming and Karma simply caught up with her." u/Key-Educator-3018 noted, "Cursing someone generally rebounds threefold. If your curse includes the other getting what they deserve, it won't. Acting on the side of the 'angels.'" Meanwhile, u/Merkaba_Crystal joked, "I hope you gave the witch a good review."
