Cursed strands are a phenomenon that holds great significance in various mythological, supernatural, and folkloric traditions across the world. These strands, or threads, are believed to possess powerful magical properties, often with negative effects. They are associated with curses, hexes, and enchantments that bring misfortune, suffering, and even death to those affected by them. In many cultures, cursed strands may be created through a variety of means. They can be woven by witches, sorcerers, or malevolent supernatural beings to enact their vengeful desires or fulfill their wicked intentions. These cursed strands may be made from different materials such as hair, silk, yarn, or even metal threads, each imbued with its own specific properties and intentions of the curse.
I usually take a number of scoops instead of one giant scoop because I find that to be a little cumbersome and products will drop everywhere. After scrubbing, most of the smaller salt particles have melted and I just rinse off any remaining and good gosh this scrub makes my skin feel really cool and refreshing! There is no greasy or oily residue on the skin or on the tiled shower floor, it just rinses clean and leaves you feeling almost cold! This would be great for summer and maybe after the gym!
I simply hop into the shower, get myself nice and wet and then get a decent scoop of this scrub and rub it all over my shoulders, chest, arms, and back. Intergalactic is one of my favourites so this is a huge positive for me, I will imagine this is the case for many other Lush customers too as Intergalactic is one of or possibly is, I need to check their best selling product.

So. Freaking. Purple. So. Freaking. Minty. So. Freaking. Soothing. I love the absolute hell out of this scrub. I have waited long and patient for this to launch in the US. I know I could have ordered it from Lush Kitchen but I wanted to wait it out because the anticipation was absolutely worth it.
For $ 17.95 you get a pot, a big pot, not the biggest pot but a big one full of viscous, pretty, vibrant, minty purple scrubby magic. It’s 10.5oz and it’s the best scrub I’ll have ever had the pleasure of using on my skin after a long and grueling Monday at work when we all I know I’d rather be home laying on the floor with my cat.
I love the scent, it is instantly soothing and relaxing. It’s mint but like, super mint. I am obsessed. It feels good in the hands, on the hands, on the legs before and after shaving – it just makes everything so soft and smooth and relaxed – I need my entire life covered in this.
It’s truly magical. It’s spooky and witchy but best of all it’s permanent to LUSH – so we will be seeing this in stores even after Halloween is sadly long gone! What a dang relief because I know I’m going to go through this super fast considering what I do for a living.
- Smells amazing
- Huge long lasting pot (I hope, I’m stressed a lot)
- Permanent
- Soothing, cooling, relaxing
- Fun vibrant (non-staining) purple
- A tad on the pricey side but personally worth it

If you are stressed a lot too go get this, take a glob of it in your hands and get it all over your body. You will not regret it, you and your tub won’t turn purple and the scent lasts a while after the shower which I enjoy since I shower at night and like to just, chill and come down after a long day. This is the best scrub for long, stressful days.

They may be used in rituals to bind the victim, control their actions, or generate afflictions such as illness, bad luck, nightmares, or even death. Throughout history, cursed strands have been associated with various legends, myths, and folklore. In Greek mythology, the Fates were believed to be three goddesses who held the power to control the destinies of humans. These goddesses were often depicted as weavers, spinning and cutting the threads of life. In some versions of the myth, they could also use these threads to curse individuals, determining their fate and sealing their doom. Cursed strands have also been featured in popular culture, particularly in works of fiction such as movies, books, and video games. They are often portrayed as powerful objects of dark magic that bring doom and destruction to those who possess or are affected by them. These cursed strands become central elements of the story, driving characters to embark on quests or journeys to break the curse and restore peace. In conclusion, cursed strands hold a significant place in various mythologies and cultural beliefs. Whether representing the vengeful intentions of supernatural beings or serving as tools for spellcasting, these strands carry negative energy and bring misfortune to those who encounter them. Their presence in mythology and popular culture continues to captivate the imagination, reminding us of the enduring fascination with the mystical and mysterious..
Reviews for "The Strand: A Multicultural Melting Pot"
1. Jennifer - 2/5
I did not enjoy reading "Curse of the Strand". The storyline was confusing and hard to follow, with too many unnecessary twists and turns that just ended up being a distraction. The characters lacked depth and felt one-dimensional, making it difficult to connect with any of them. Additionally, the pacing was inconsistent, with some parts dragging on while others were rushed. Overall, I found this book to be disappointing and would not recommend it.
2. Mark - 1/5
"Curse of the Strand" was a complete letdown for me. The writing style was overly verbose and pretentious, making it difficult to engage with the story. The plot felt contrived and predictable, with no real surprises or twists. The dialogue was stilted and unnatural, further taking away from the reading experience. I found myself losing interest quickly and had to force myself to finish the book. I would not recommend it to anyone looking for an enjoyable and immersive read.
3. Sarah - 2/5
I had high expectations for "Curse of the Strand", but unfortunately, it fell short. The pacing was incredibly slow, with long descriptions that added nothing substantial to the plot. The supposed "twists" in the story were easily predictable and lacked any real impact. Moreover, the main characters were unlikable and lacked development, making it hard to root for them. The underlying supernatural elements also felt forced and unnecessary. Overall, I was disappointed by this book and wouldn't recommend it to others.
