A person or object that causes bad luck or unfortunate events. When a person or place experiences bad luck or unfortunate events, that person or place is said to be jinxed. Traditionally, an object may become jinxed if it is involved in a fatality considered horrible or tragic. A jinx, which is accidental and certainly not intended, should not be confused with a curse where causing unfortunate events was the purpose of a spell or other form of magick.
