To invoke evil upon; to curse; to call down divine wrath on someone.
From Latin 'imprecari' — 'in-' (upon) + 'precari' (to pray). Literally: to PRAY against someone. The dark twin of prayer — using the same mechanism to curse instead of bless.
Prayer's EVIL TWIN! Same mechanism as blessing — calling on higher powers — but aimed at DESTROYING instead of helping! Ancient cultures took imprecations very seriously. Words had POWER! ðŸ™âž¡ï¸ðŸ˜ˆ
