Folklore
Folklore tells that the witch has the power to cast a blight on the land of their enemies. The promulgators of propaganda against witches would have their flocks believe this to be a petty act of evil, but in reality it is the consequence of persecution, of the hate and violence inflicted upon the witch community. The curse upon the land is one of the most extreme acts the witch can undertake, to summon the wrath of the Wild Gods of the fields and forests, harnessing the darker side of nature. The cost is great, but the reward is an end to the persecution of his coven.
Divinatory Meaning

This may also indicate you are experiencing violence or arguments to a severe extent. The Five of Staffs urges you to evaluate which situations you are exerting your energy on, and if that energy is worth it for your own greater good.
