Sumpa
Like many other words, Sumpa has different
meanings in the Tagalog Dialect. The two most used are :
A). an oath. In this form of meaning of sumpa,
it pertains to a promise. It is usually a promise to do something, usually for a
lover or a dead relative ( "Sinusumpa ko, ipapaghihiganti ko kayo, Itay!).
Some lovers are nagsusumpaan or they promise each other that they will remain in
love until the end of time, come what may!
B). a curse. Now this sumpa is what Im going
to talk about. A sumpa is a curse given to a mortal enemy. It is usually spoken
by the giver in a loud voice for all to hear.
We heard of stories about witches being
burned and shouting, "Sinusumpa ko, babalik ako upang maghiganti!" (I
promise I will come back to take revenge!). Now those are good examples of sumpa.
Now in kulam, there are some spells to curse
or place a sumpa upon a victim or enemy. Although they are very effective,
modern withces rarely utilize them these days.
One way is to create what they call the Bote
ng Sumpa. Everytime you curse a person, it is said that his soul will be traped
inside the bottle. I just don't know how to make the bottle but I will
reserch it
promise!
