Witchy spells are often referred to as HEXES, which is a term derived from the German word 'hexen' meaning to practice witchcraft. HEXES are spells that are used to bring about a desired outcome, such as protection, healing, or revenge. They can be used for both good and bad purposes, and are often associated with dark magic. HEXES are usually cast by witches, but can also be used by anyone who has knowledge of the craft.
