QUESTION -Can anybody indulge in any sort of curse by transferring intent to any object like gifts ,food, money or other things given directly.... I had an experience once when my neighbour passed me a artifact of Clay... It has caused me misfortune, bad luck, accident...I passed over the thing to my friend who is disbeliever of superstitions and after 3 months he died of bike crash... Is it a true fact ....Curses.... Are they real... I am eager to know more.... Tell me Madam?
ANSWER - Yes, it is possible for intent or ill will to be stored into an object with the intention of doing harm to the recipient. Generally a working involving the energy storing into an object would be referred to as a charm. Charms can be used for both well meaning and baneful magic and in the manner you are suggesting they can be used to hand a person the negativity associated with curse/hex work.
I personally believe that such a curse would be best employed by working in line with the psychological susceptibility of the recipient. That isn't to say the curse wouldn't work in its own right but it is to say that it would be more powerful if the intent of the recipient (the belief that it will work) is employed into the working as well. If I wanted to curse somebody in this nature, I would tell them what I was doing and enable their own belief to work against them.
On a personal note I charm pebbles to absorb my symptoms when I am unwell. I store these as charmed curse items with the intention of giving to people (if appropriate) to pass my illness and the misery connected with illness on.
The most famous example of an object claimed to be cursed is the Hope Diamond (look it up, its a very interesting tale - I've copied and pasted the history of the diamond from the Wikipedia at the bottom of this question.)
It is important to remember that not everything that happens is due to magic. If you give someone a cursed item and they drop down dead that may be related to the curse but equally it may not be. A witch cannot judge her abilities by the effects of a single spell - it is continuity of results that allows her to consider her methods effective.
