	Curses pronounced upon ones death-bed are assumed to be more powerful, as all of the life force is put into the curse. A classic example is of the fabled curse of the final Grand-Master of the Knights Templar, Jacques de Molay, who when burned at the stake in 1314 with him and his order accused of 'heresy' was purported to shout "Vamehk Adonai!" to curse those who he ~~beleived~~ had falsely accused him and his brethren. Several weeks afterwards, the king Phillip IV of France, who had been thought to have organized the capture of the templars in order to attain their wealth after he had lost his in exile (upon which he had sheltered with the Templars in sanctuary for some time) died of a sudden illness and several months later, the Pope Clement V and his prosecutor Guillaume de Nogaret supposedly died of strange causes.

			==Crowley & curses==

			[[Aleister Crowley]] used the term in regards to constraining or coercing demons, as in the practice of [[Goetia]]. In ''Magick, Book 4'' (Ch.16) he writes:

			:"some demons are of a nature such that they only understand curses, are not amenable to courteous command."

			From "Liber B vel Magi", Crowley speaks of the "Curse of the Grade" of Magus in the [[A.'.A.'.]]:

			:"For the curse of His grade is that he must speak Truth, that the Falsehood thereof may enslave the souls of men" (Liber B:14)
