I was given a mask from Mexico, by a witch back in 1986 I dated a couple of times. I didn't know she was or what it was, just accepted the gift. Immediately, things went from light and airy, to dark and I found myself constantly getting upset over stupid things. And every time this happened, I realized the mask changed expressions. It went into the trash.
Also, after the mask arrived, I began to see shadow walkers in the corner of my eye in the living room at night where the mask was hanging on a nail. All that stopped when the mask went away.
Be really careful accepting any gifts you feel are off. Even so, clear every single gift you get for any hexes, spells, or curses. Most can be cleared. Some have to just be burned, because a life was taken by a witch wearing the mask.
