My Cursed Objects: I got a “Cursed” Tea Pot! Part III
After two solid weeks of ownership of this “Cursed” tea pot, I can almost say this is not a cursed tea pot.
As I write, I find it hard to say for sure that this item is not cursed, or for that matter cursed. Anything that happened in the two weeks of ownership could not be attributed to this pot; the wasps always come around this time and build nest in the yard (tea pot or no tea pot). Any emotional or life goal “hic-up” would have happened regardless of the tea pot.
That being wrote, I have no way to correlating anything to the tea pot. The wasps were worse this year than other years but is that fault of the “Cursed” item? I have no real way of saying yes or no.
I can, however, use other accounts of curses from items and compare.
As a baseline or curses, lets use some statistically common curse occurrences:
Nightmares
I have had no “new” nightmares since the tea pot was brought home; save for the only dream/nightmare I have which is of a spider I cannot shake off my hand, but no new nightmares to report.
Strange sounds
Nope.
Sickness
Despite everything going on, Kiliegh and I have been healthier because of diet changes and exercise.
Now, two weeks is a small amount of time to pass and confirm the cursed status of an item. However, I feel that this cursed object is only “cursed” because it has a different aesthetic that most western tea pots.
That prejudice has lead many to think a mundane foreign item is cursed when in fact it is just a culture representation not understand or accepted in the society which it is now placed.
Overall curse rating: Not Cursed, I intend to drink tea out of it.
