Fired employee pays Etsy witch 25 dollars to cast a spell on her boss, then hears the boss got demoted after her behavior finally caught up with her: ‘Etsy magic isn't something to take lightly. It might end up working’

Closure is a funny, sometimes overrated thing. But it gets way funnier when a burned-out ex-employee finds closure in the strangest corner of the internet by spending twenty-five dollars on an Etsy witch.

After years under a department head who ruled through fear and humiliation, the office had become a slow-motion breakdown factory. The boss thrived on threats and misery, the kind of narcissist who mistakes cruelty for management. When the employee finally collapsed under the weight of endless tyranny, the boss fired her as if mental overload were a performance review metric.

So she put a spell on her. A tiny act of vengeful retail therapy, cast not to harm but to reflect. The order promised to return the boss's toxicity "back to sender," essentially karma with a shipping label. Months passed, and life improved. Then came the message from an ex-colleague: HR had finally launched an investigation, the tyrant had been stripped of her title, and poetic justice had apparently been delivered. Whether by fate or folklore, balance had returned.

I paid an Etsy witch to put a revenge spell on my toxic former manager - and I think it worked....

This story is obviously not really about witchcraft. It’s about finding symbolic power after being powerless for too long. Sometimes people need to believe that justice can be summoned, even if it comes with free shipping. Maybe the spell worked, or maybe it was just overdue accountability. Either way, twenty-five dollars never bought a sweeter sense of peace.
