A curse, or hex, is a type of spell work done to cause misfortune, harm, or death to whomever it is placed on. Sometimes a curse can be broken by killing the caster, other times it can only be broken through some form of reversal spell or ritual.

Two hundred years ago in Oasis Plains, Oklahoma, the American cavalry came to relocate the Euchee Tribe. The Euchees were resistant to being taken from their land. This caused the Calvary to become impatient and on the night "the moon and the sun share the sky as equals," the cavalry raided the Euchee village, raping and murdering the tribe. These rapes and murders would go on for six nights until every man, woman, and child still in the village was dead. As an a final act of retribution, on the sixth night, the dying village chief whispered to the heavens, "that no white man would ever tarnish this land again." The valley would be protected by nature, which would bring as many days of misery and death to the white man as the Calvary had brought upon the Euchee people. The Winchesters believed the curse to be unbreakable and the only option to be to avoid it.

A hundred years ago, in Baton Rouge, a conjure woman created the rabbit's foot under a full moon, in a cemetery, on Friday the 13th. The cursed rabbit's foot would grant the possessor exceedingly good luck, but once the foot was out of the hands of the owner, the luck would turn, eventually leading to death. The curse was eventually stopped by [[Sam]] and [[Dean]] by burning destroying the rabbit's foot in a cemetery with using a "heavy-duty cleansing ritual" that includes bone ash and cayenne pepper.

After a young woman named Corey performed a ritual that summoned [[Veritas]], the goddess of truth, all people in Calumet City, Illinois, who asked aloud for the truth invoked her curse. Once invoked, the person is bombarded with harsh truths until they are driven to suicide as a tribute to Veritas. The curse is broken with Veritas' death.

===Mnemonic Curse=======[[12.11 Regarding Dean]]====A curse mentioned by [[Rowena]] that could cause the afflicted to lose their memory as [[Dean]] did, one of the known symptoms of this curse is the afflicted will start to lose all their body hair from the neck on down. Rowena stated to break the curse, all that had to be done was to kill the caster. ===[[Kohonta]]===

While facing a [[kohontaKohonta]], the Winchesters learn from [[Sheriff Mason Romero]] that a kohonta Kohonta is a human cursed to be transformed into a monster with an insatiable hunger for engaging in extreme cannibalism. The curse was performed by Native American [[shaman]]s, in this case on a young white settler named [[Henry Parker]] who ate his own family and some of the local tribe before he was cursed. There is no known way to break the curse other than to kill the kohonta Kohonta with a [[silver]] blade through the heart. ===Deadly Protection=======[[15.06 Golden Time]]====At some point before her death, [[Rowena]] cast a powerful curse upon her flat that would kill anyone that entered, causing them to bleed out within a short period of time. This curse killed the [[witch]] [[Jacinda]], but didn't harm [[Sam]], whom Rowena had specifically excluded from the effects of the curse when she cast it. Sam was forced by the [[Witch Mother]] and [[Emily (Witch)|Emily]] to get what they needed for a [[resurrection]] spell from the flat as they could not enter to get it themselves or break the curse. Dean was later able to enter unharmed as well to burn Jacinda's body, having presumably also been excluded from the curse's effects by Rowena.
