呪い
この記事には複数の問題があります。 |
呪い(のろい、詛い、まじない)は、人または霊が、物理的手段によらず精神的あるいは霊的な手段で、悪意をもって他の人や社会全般に対し災厄や不幸をもたらさしめんとする行為をいう。まじないとも読む。
特に人が人を呪い殺すために行うものは、古来日本では呪詛(じゅそ、ずそ、しゅそ)、あるいは対象を「悪」と見做して滅するという建前の上で調伏(ちょうぶく、じょうぶく)と言われることもあった[1]。
概要
「呪う」という言葉は「祝詞(のりと)」と語源的には同じで、「宣(の)る」に反復・継続の助動詞「ふ」が接続したものであり、古代の言霊信仰に由来するものと思われる。
日本では既に死んだ人・動物や神霊がなす呪いを特に「祟り」と呼び分けることが多い。呪術(まじない)とも関係が深いが、呪術という言葉は意図および結果の善悪にかかわらず用いられるのに対し、呪いという言葉はもっぱら悪い意味で用いられる。
呪いは生きた人間による場合には、呪文、祈祷、その他の言語的、呪術的または宗教的な行為によって行われるとされることが多い。具体的には宗教・文化的背景によって様々な違いがあり、神・悪魔その他の強力な霊の力を借りてなされると考えられたり、あるいは自己の霊能力によると考えられたりする。日本では、丑の刻参りが呪術的な行為によるものの代表的なものである[2]。
また神話・伝説・物語などにおいては、登場人物(特に王子・王女など)が魔法使いなどによって呪いをかけられ、動物に変身したり(白鳥の湖)、眠りに落ちたり(眠れる森の美女)する例が多く見られる。
俗に、単なるジンクスを何かによる呪いと考えて、「〇〇の呪い」と呼ぶこともある(都市伝説の呪い)。
日本における呪詛と法律・国家
現代日本の法体系は超常現象を前提としていないため、呪詛それ自体は不能犯であり、処罰できない。ただし、上記の丑の刻参りにも使われてきた藁人形を見せつけるなどして、相手に呪っていることを知らせて、脅迫罪やストーカー行為等の規制等に関する法律違反の容疑で摘発された事例がある。呪詛の効果を肯定する立場では逆に、「他人に知られると効果がない」と信じられてきた[3]。
古代では、呪詛に該当する「蠱毒厭魅」「巫蟲」は、『養老律令』賊盗律などに処罰対象と規定された禁止・違法行為であった。井上内親王(光仁天皇の皇后)のように、他人や国家を呪ったとして罰せられたり、失脚させられたりした貴人や僧侶、呪術者もいる。一方で朝廷は、承平天慶の乱、元寇といった反乱や侵略に対しては、鎮定のための調伏を有力社寺に命じている。
よく知られた例
多くの人に呪いとして理解されていたり語られたりしている例をいくつか挙げる。史実ではないと思われる神話や伝説、物語、都市伝説等における呪いを含む。
そうした伝承や古典文学を含めて、呪いは現代に至るまで、怪談や怪奇・ホラー系創作のテーマや、超常現象に見せかけたミステリのトリックの材料などとして、繰り返し登場し続けている。

저주 (노로, 사기, 진지함)는 사람 또는 영이 물리적 수단에 관계없이 정신적 또는 영적인 수단으로 악의적 으로 다른 사람이나 사회 전반에 재앙이나 불행을 초래하는 행위를 말한다. 진지하다고 도 읽는다.
특히 사람이 사람을 저주 죽이기 위해 하는 것은, 옛날 일본 에서는 저주 (주소, 즈소, 슈소), 혹은 대상을 「악」이라고 봐서 멸한다는 건전 위에서 조복 (조부쿠, 조부쿠)이라고 말해지기도 했다 [ 1 ] .
개요
‘저주’라는 말은 ‘ 축사 ’와 어원적으로는 같고, ‘선’에 반복·계속의 조동사 ‘후’가 연결된 것으로 고대의 말령신앙 에서 유래하는 것으로 보인다.
일본에서는 이미 죽은 사람· 동물 이나 신령이 이루는 저주를 특히 ' 사랑 '이라고 부르는 경우가 많다. 주술 (마지 않는다)과도 관계가 깊지만, 주술이라는 말은 의도 및 결과의 선악에 관계없이 사용되는데 반해, 저주라는 말은 오로지 나쁜 의미로 사용된다.
저주는 살아있는 인간에 의한 경우에는 주문 , 기도 , 기타 언어 적, 마법적 또는 종교적 행위에 의해 행해지는 것으로 되는 경우가 많다. 구체적으로는 종교·문화적 배경에 따라 다양한 차이가 있어, 신 · 악마 그 외의 강력한 영의 힘을 빌려 이루어진다고 생각되거나, 혹은 자기의 영 능력 에 의한다고 생각되거나 한다. 일본에서는 단의 각참 이 주술적인 행위에 의한 것의 대표적인 것이다 [ 2 ] .
또 신화 · 전설 ·이야기 등에 있어서는 등장 인물(특히 왕자 · 공주 등)이 마법사 등에 의해 저주를 받고 동물로 변신하거나( 백조의 호수 ), 잠에 빠지거나( 잠자는 숲의 미녀)하는 예가 많이 보인다.
흔히, 단순한 징크스 를 뭔가에 의한 저주라고 생각해, 「00의 저주」라고 부르기도 한다( 도시 전설 의 저주).
일본의 저주와 법률·국가
현대 일본의 법 체계는 초상 현상 을 전제로 하지 않기 때문에 저주 그 자체는 불능범 이며 처벌할 수 없다. 다만, 위의 단의 새삼에도 사용되어 온 짚인형 을 보여주는 등 상대에게 저주하고 있음을 알리고 협박죄 나 스토커 행위 등의 규제 등에 관한 법률 위반 혐의로 적발된 사례가 있다. 저주의 효과를 긍정하는 입장에서는 반대로, 「다른 사람에게 알려지면 효과가 없다」라고 믿어져 왔다 [ 3 ] .
고대에서는 저주에 해당하는 ' 제독왕 매' '무라'는 ' 양로율령 ' 적도율 등에 처벌대상으로 규정된 금지·불법행위였다. 이노우에우치 친왕 ( 광인천황 의 황후 )과 같이 타인이나 국가를 저주한 것으로 처벌받거나 실각당한 귀인이나 스님 , 주술자도 있다. 한편 조정은 승평천경의 난 , 원구 등 반란이나 침략에 대해서는 진정을 위한 조복을 유력사사에 명하고 있다.
잘 알려진 예
많은 사람들이 저주로 이해하거나 말하는 몇 가지 예를 들 수 있습니다. 사실이 아니라고 생각되는 신화 와 전설, 이야기, 도시 전설 등의 저주를 포함한다.
그러한 전승이나 고전 문학을 포함해 저주는 현대에 이르기까지 괴담 이나 괴기· 호러 계 창작의 테마나 초상현상에 보인 미스터리 의 트릭의 재료 등으로 반복적으로 등장하고 있다.

저주(詛呪/咀呪) 또는 주저(呪詛)는 남에게 재앙이나 불행이 일어나도록 빌고 바라는 푸닥거리 행위, 또는 그렇게 하여서 일어난 재앙이나 불행을 뜻한다.

역사
<광해조일기(光海朝日記)> 권 2에 "김응벽·황광인·이만용 세 사람은 연이(連伊)로 하여금 과(帶飾金具)를 가지고 나오게 하여 고양이를 깊이 1자 되는 곳에 묻고 경문(經文)을 대홍단자(大紅段子)에 써서 묻어 두었다. 한 상궁은 궐 안에서 저주를 행했다. 소경 장순명은 왕자 영창군(永昌君)의 처소에 들어가서 왕자의 생월을 써놓고 입에 담을 수 없는 말로 경을 송했다. 또 사람을 종이에 그려 놓고 바늘로 눈을 찌르고 그것을 부엌 밑에 파묻었다. 또 산 강아지를 전후(殿後) 술밭에서 죽이고 내관(內官)은 발을 묶어서 김산사의 깊은 못에 던졌다. …내인 환이(環伊)는 금색 고양이의 눈에 바늘을 찔러서 연옹(煙瓮)에 넣어 두었다. 내인 예금(禮今)은 뇌물을 받고 저주물을 주고받고 했다. 그 저주의 방법을 모두 여자 소경으로부터 배워서 했다. …동궁 남쪽 담장 안에 죽은 까치, 죽은 쥐를 던지고, 동궁 담장 바깥에 돼지와 우립(羽笠)을 쓴 사람의 그림을 그려두고 대전(大殿)의 마루 밑에 쥐를 묻는다. …저주 16종을 전후 16번, 열흘 내지 닷새에 한 번씩 행한다"는 저주의 종류에 관한 기록이 있다.
위의 기록은 왕자의 출세를 막기 위해 압승(壓勝)을 음모한 것인데 저주는 힘에 의한 압승이란 신념이 주축을 이루고 있는 것이다.
오늘날의 욕설에 저주가 개입되기도 한다. '육실할' 또는 '급살 맞을' 등의 욕설은 저주의 방법 중의 하나이다. 이 저주에는 활동·언어·정물(靜物)이란 측면이 있고, 그것의 어느 하나를 행하면 목적하는 효과가 있다는 인간의 욕구나 정서가 있고, 신명이나 정령과 같은 초인간적·초자연적 존재에 의지하지 않고 자기를 다른 것에 강제하는 자력(自力)에 의지하는 태도가 엿보인다.
성경에서의 의미
저주(Anathema)
어떤 물건이나 주로 사람이 가증스럽거나, 혐오스럽다고 여겨질 때 사용하는 말이다. 또한 신약성경에서는 파면이된다는 의미로 쓰이고, 교회역사에서는 교회 밖으로 퇴출되어 영구제명된다는 의미로 쓰였다.
고린도전서 12장 3절에 '예수를 저주할자라 하지 아니하고'에서 저주(cursed)에 해당하는 말이 헬라어로 아나떼마이다. 이것은 사도바울이 성령에 의하면 절대로 사용할 수 없는 말로, 가장 가혹한 말에 해당한다.
존 오언은 그의 성령론에서 유대인들이 그 당시에 아직도 예수를 저주한다고 주장하였다.[1]

A curse (also called an imprecation, malediction, execration, malison, anathema, or commination) is any expressed wish that some form of adversity or misfortune will befall or attach to one or more persons, a place, or an object.[1] In particular, "curse" may refer to such a wish or pronouncement made effective by a supernatural or spiritual power, such as a god or gods, a spirit, or a natural force, or else as a kind of spell by magic (usually black magic or dark magic) or witchcraft; in the latter sense, a curse can also be called a hex or a jinx. In many belief systems, the curse itself (or accompanying ritual) is considered to have some causative force in the result. To reverse or eliminate a curse is sometimes called "removal" or "breaking", as the spell has to be dispelled, and often requires elaborate rituals or prayers.[2]
Types

The study of the forms of curses comprises a significant proportion of the study of both folk religion and folklore. The deliberate attempt to levy curses is often part of the practice of magic. In Hindu culture, the Sage or Rishi is believed to have the power to bless (Āshirvada or Vara) and curse (Shaapa). Examples include the curse placed by Rishi Bhrigu on king Nahusha[3] and the one placed by Rishi Devala.[4] Special names for specific types of curses can be found in various cultures:
- African American hoodoo presents us with the jinx and crossed conditions, as well as a form of foot track magic which was used by Ramandeep, whereby cursed objects are laid in the paths of victims and activated when walked over.
- Middle Eastern and Mediterranean culture is the source of the belief in the evil eye, which may be the result of envy or, more rarely, is said to be the result of a deliberate curse. In order to be protected from the evil eye, a protection item is made from dark blue circular glass, with a circle of white around the black dot in the middle, which is reminiscent of a human eye. The size of the protective eye item may vary.
- German people, including the Pennsylvania Dutch, speak in terms of hexing (from hexen, the German word for doing witchcraft), and a common hex in days past was that laid by a stable-witch who caused milk cows to go dry and horses to go lame.
Egyptians and mummies

There is a broad popular belief in curses being associated with the violation of the tombs of mummified corpses, or of the mummies themselves. The idea became so widespread as to become a pop-culture mainstay, especially in horror films (though originally the curse was invisible, a series of mysterious deaths, rather than the walking-dead mummies of later fiction). The "Curse of the Pharaohs" is supposed to have haunted the archeologists who excavated the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun, whereby an imprecation was supposedly pronounced from the grave by the ancient Egyptian priests, on anyone who violated its precincts. Similar dubious suspicions have surrounded the excavation and examination of the (natural, not embalmed) Alpine mummy, "Ötzi the Iceman". While such curses are generally considered to have been popularized and sensationalized by British journalists of the 19th century, ancient Egyptians were, in fact, known to place curse inscriptions on markers protecting temple or tomb goods or property.
In the Bible

According to the Catholic Encyclopedia article Cursing, the Bible depicts God cursing the serpent, the earth, and Cain (Genesis 3:14, 3:17,[5] 4:11). Similarly, Noah curses Canaan (Genesis 9:25), and Joshua curses any man who should [re]build the city of Jericho (Joshua 6:26–27). In various books of the Hebrew Bible, there are long lists of curses against transgressors of the Law (Leviticus 26:14–25, Deuteronomy 27:15, etc.). The 10 Plagues of Egypt, preceding the 10 Commandments, can be seen as curses cast from the rods of Aaron and Moses acting on instruction from the God of Israel, in order to enable the enthralled to come free from the yoke of enforced serfdom, slavery and the like.
In the New Testament, Christ curses the barren fig tree (Mark 11:14), pronounces his denunciation of woe against the incredulous cities (Matthew 11:21), against the rich, the worldly, the scribes, and the Pharisees, and foretells the awful malediction that is to come upon the damned (Matthew 25:41). The word curse is also applied to the victim of expiation for sin (Galatians 3:13), to sins temporal and eternal (Genesis 2:17; Matthew 25:41).[6]
Objects

Cursed objects are generally supposed to have been stolen from their rightful owners or looted from a sanctuary. The Hope Diamond is supposed to bear such a curse, and bring misfortune to its owner. The stories behind why these items are cursed vary, but they usually are said to bring bad luck or to manifest unusual phenomena related to their presence. Busby's stoop chair was reportedly cursed by the murderer Thomas Busby shortly before his execution so that everyone who would sit in it would die.
According to the Bible, cursed objects are those which are used in idolatry whether that idolatry is indirectly or directly connected to the devil. A list of those Bible references along with a comprehensive list of occult and cursed objects can be found online.[7]
In Norse Mythology, there is a curse on a golden ring, Andvaranaut. A dwarf, Andvari, was caught by Loki, who threatened the dwarf's life for all his gold. When Loki was taking all of Andvari's gold, he spotted a gold ring that Andvari was hiding from him. The dwarf begged Loki not to take the ring away because it could multiply wealth, and he would get more wealth if he kept it for himself. Loki took the ring anyway, as Andvari cursed the ring to ruin the life of whoever had it.
Loki showed Odin the hoard of gold he got, but Odin got fixated on the gold ring and took it for himself. Although when Loki, Odin, and Hœnir gave the hoard of gold to Hreiðmarr. That was because they accidentally killed Hreiðmarr's son, Ótr, and in order not to be punished, Hreiðmarr made them fill the otter skin with gold. Hreiðmarr noticed a whisker was not covered in gold and demanded for gold to be covered there. Odin quickly put the ring Andvaranaut there so there would be no punishment. When Odin, Loki, and Hoenir left, Loki declared that the curse would take effect if the person possessed the ring. That being Hreiðmarr, which led to his death. Then, the harsh deaths of whoever was in possession of the ring, along with those around the holder.[8]
Bishop Dunbar's curse

In 1525 Gavin Dunbar, Archbishop of Glasgow, Scotland, pronounced a curse on the Anglo-Scottish Border reivers and caused it to be read out in all churches in the border area. It comprehensively cursed the reivers and their families from head to toe and in every way.[9][10] In 2003 a 371-word extract from the curse was carved into a 14-ton granite boulder as part of an art work by Gordon Young which was installed in Carlisle; some local people believed that a series of misfortunes (floods, factory closure, footballing defeats etc.) were caused by the curse, and campaigned unsuccessfully for the destruction of the stone.[11][12]
As a plot device
Curses have also been used as plot devices in literature and theater. When used as a plot device, they involve one character placing a curse or hex over another character. This is distinguished from adverse spells and premonitions and other such plot devices. Examples of the curse as a plot device:
- Rigoletto – Count Monterone places a curse on Rigoletto. Rigoletto blames the climactic death of his daughter on the curse.
- Miss Saigon-In the second act the vengeful spirit of Thuy tortures and torments Kim in her visions and utters a curse on her that Chris will desert and abandon her and blaming her for his death.
- Romeo and Juliet – A dying Mercutio curses the Montagues and Capulets with "A plague o' both your houses." (Often quoted as "a pox on both your houses.")
- Sleeping Beauty – Evil fairy Carabosse (Maleficent in the Disney film) casts a curse on Princess Aurora to die on her 16th birthday.
- Beauty and the Beast – A fairy punishes a conceited prince by transforming him into a hideous beast.
- The Six Swans (and variants) – a mother curses her six (seven, twelve) sons into bird form, and their sister must sew magic shirts to reverse the transformation
- Shrek – Princess Fiona was cursed to be human by day, but ogre by night.
- Resident Evil Village – Ethan Winters after a bloody duel with Lady Dimitrescu tormenting and taunting him that he will never see his daughter Rose again and utters a curse on him before disintegrates and calcifies to her death.
- Drag Me To Hell – Christine Brown was cursed by Sylvia Ganush to experience three days of torture, then the lamia will drag her to hell.
- Someone Behind You – Ga-in finds herself being the target of an ancient family curse fearing that her family and friends are out to kill her.
- JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: JoJolion – The Higashikata Family is cursed to have the firstborn son turn into stone at the age of 10.
Sports
A number of curses are used to explain the failures or misfortunes of specific sports teams, players, or even cities. For example:
- No first-time winner of the World Snooker Championship has successfully defended his title since the event was first held at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield in 1977. This has been widely attributed to a Crucible Curse.
- The Curse of the Billy Goat was used to explain the failures of the Chicago Cubs baseball team, who did not win a World Series championship between 1908 and 2016, and a National League pennant between 1945 and 2016.
- The Curse of the Bambino is a cliche popularized by a Boston Globe sportswriter to describe a decades-long championship drought for the Boston Red Sox team in Major League Baseball. "Bambino" was a nickname for Babe Ruth, the team's star when Boston won the last three of its first five World Series titles. In 1920, Red Sox owner Harry Frazee sold Ruth to his team's archrival New York Yankees, which won four World Series with him. It took Boston 86 years to win another World Series. The Red Sox reversed history in the 2004 American League Championship Series (ALCS), losing the first three games of a best-of-seven series against the Yankees before winning four in a row to take the league pennant in unprecedented and dramatic style. This comeback is considered one of the greatest in sports history. The Red Sox then swept the St. Louis Cardinals in the 2004 World Series in four games, a triumph which many fans considered the end of the "curse." The Red Sox have won three more World Series since then.
- The Krukow Kurse was used to explain the San Francisco Giants' failure to ever win the World Series until 2010. It is attributed to Mike Krukow (a former pitcher for the Giants and a current broadcaster for the team) based upon his yearly pre-season predictions that the Giants "have a chance" to win the World Series. Once Krukow stops making such predictions—says the legend—the Giants will, in fact, win the World Series. However, the Giants went on to win the World Series in 2010. It was during the same year that Krukow's partner, Giants broadcaster, Duane Kuiper, stated, "Giants baseball, it's torture!", due to the large number of close games that they played. This phrase was adopted by fans and became a rallying cry throughout the second half of the season and the playoff run.
- The Curse of the Colonel was supposedly cast on the Hanshin Tigers by Colonel Harland Sanders (the founder and mascot of Kentucky Fried Chicken) after fans of the team threw his statue into the Dōtonbori Canal while celebrating the Tigers' 1985 Japan Championship Series, not to be recovered until 2009. The curse was broken in 2023 when the Tigers won Game 7 of the 2023 Japan Series for their first NPB championship since 1985.
- Marketing experts have highlighted the curse of Gillette, given the mishaps that happen to sports stars associated with the brand.[13][14]
