The origin is SO inconsistent. Here is a quote from "Queen of Hearts"

Emma: You created the curse, Gold. You made me the Savior. So everything I've ever done, it's exactly what you wanted me to do. Mr. Gold: I created the curse, dearie, but I didn't make you. I merely took advantage of what you are - the product of true love. That's why you're powerful. And everything you've done, you've done yourself.
