The Uzumaki pocket curse is a contemporary issue that has been causing significant concern and debate. The curse, which originated in Japan, is named after the spiral-shaped Uzumaki clan symbol that represents the central theme of the curse - spiraling suffering and obsession.

Duncan Wilson, chief executive of Historic England said: “Witches’ marks are a physical reminder of how our ancestors saw the world. They really fire the imagination and can teach us about previously-held beliefs and common rituals.
