Hey Occulties,
So judging from my email (which you can find me at cat and then at and then original ninja cat - but that's one word, - dot com,) I have some frustrated readers. Why is it that it can be so hard to get a spell to manifest!? Is it some "karmic fuckery!?" No, I mean, long and short of it here is 1. Experience (as in you have some,) 2.) Knowledge (as in you did more than read a book once, and you have a strong knowledge of your target/s if you're working on people,) and 3.) Strength of will. Also you need to keep in mind that nifty Sphere of Availability, which means basically if you want to a brain surgeon but you never passed high school and are barely literate, one little spell won't get you there. When we think of the Sphere of Availability we need to think of it a bit like a tank of gas for our car. We can move towards the desired destination, but we may need to fill up that tank a few times, so each "filling of the tank," means we make our path so we reach goals in the Sphere of Availability, which then allows us to reach our next goal when we do our next spell, and so on, until we finally get the desired end.
Now, I listed EXPERIENCE as a very key component in getting your work to manifest. I can hear all of my beginners shrieking angrily, but this is what it is...because technically ANYONE can build themselves a perfectly functioning house just by using books and figuring it out, but who's the most likely to end up with a structure that won't be immediately condemned...someone who builds houses for a living or me who can barely nail two boards together? Yeah, someone who builds houses. Now the thing there is you can gain experience (every magician was a neophyte once) but it takes a lot of work and a lot of practice before you're experienced. Now, back when dinosaurs ruled the world and I was just learning magic, when I did a spell I did not do something cringey I found on TikTok because even at the age I was when I started casting spells, I'd have known that isn't likely a trustworthy source for learning real spells (and thankfully shit like that didn't exist then if I was so inclined,) and then I didn't go onto Facebook (which also didn't exist,) and tell everyone about the very suspect spell I found on TikTok that I just welcomed them to think to death (remember, you should not discuss active spells with a large group - either keep it yourself until it manifests OR share with 1-2 other people.) Instead we had these weird paper rectangle things called BOOKS, and I in no way was able to ask the author questions, and so I had to kind of blindly start experimenting when I began to outgrow the huge amount of beginner books rather quickly. This taught me a lot more than reading a book. This taught me so much about the properties of herbs and items and I began to excel quickly, but before that, I was like many of you probably are, and I was like "Is this a good spell?"
Because I was so inexperienced at one point I couldn't tell bullshit and dumbshit from real shit. Again, there were no cringey TikToks to be found anywhere, yes, but I was young during what was known as the BULLSHIT ERA of Llewellyn, where they straight up sold books with such completely bold lies in them including a guy taking a made up phrase from a popular movie and calling it real spellwork, so there was still plenty of cringey stuff to be had.
What I came to learn is there is definitely 100% bullshit spells (they abound!) but a lot of people are using very real spells, they just don't really have the experience to do it, and so they are using very real spells...that then fall flat. I mean, anyone can dance ballet, but without training, you're not apt to become a prima ballerina, and so why is it so many people are surprised that...well, experience is the best thing. The more experience you have casting spells, the better your spells will manifest. This is not unfair....just because you want to be as good as someone who's been casting spells for 30 years, chances are, your first few spells will not be nearly so impressive. And that's OK. You had to crawl before you walked, and walk before you ran, and with spells you also should be starting out learning very basic work, and then moving forward.
Because KNOWLEDGE is a very key component of manifestation, while knowledge comes with the aforementioned experience (because you should always be learning more and more and more because of you practicing spellcraft regularly,) it also means knowing your target and knowing how the spell works - what triggers it uses. So as I'd actually said earlier today on reddit of all places, one reconciliation spell might use guilt as a trigger to make the target return, another may use coercion, and yet another may just sweeten someone up and make them more forgiving. This is imperative to know your target in these cases, and to have a good understanding of the petitioner and target. I also strongly recommend having an understanding of psychology if you want to work using love spells. I can't count the number of times someone complained an attraction spell wasn't working and they were scaring off the people affected by the spell by staring them down in a bar or something similar, which would be intimidating, and actually put people off. So, by using our knowledge of spells, and using our knowledge of the situation worked on, we can choose the correct spellwork, and this will give us a much more likely to manifest spell.
For example, some years ago I'd written in an article something I see from time to time where the person casting spells has received forgiveness from a reconciliation target, but the person will not return to a romantic relationship with them. In these cases the person was almost always doing "straight up reconciliation," meaning they used only Reconciliation oil and usually on a pink candle or pink candles with reconciliation oil on a sweet jar. This is because they are lacking a drawing element (to draw the person back,) and to be fair I would also recommend love drawing as the spells ARE DOING WHAT THEY ARE MEANT TO DO, and now you have that person forgiving you, so now you need to work on reigniting the love and passion.
Now STRENGTH OF WILL is another huge component - this may not mean what you think it means. I know people who obsessively desire a thing, to the point of distraction, and yet they lack strength of will because they do not have the will to stop doubting their own work and obsessing. :P And here's the nifty thing about that....obsession is a form of addiction. After being married to an alcoholic, if you told him if he quit drinking, we could stay married, he'd likely have said he would and then within an hour he'd be drinking again. This is the same as obsessing. If I tell a client if they stop obsessing about the situation, they can have what they want, inevitably they say they will and then they are back scanning social media accounts for information in the next hour. They lack STRENGTH OF WILL. So if you have the strength of faith, if you do not obsess, and you choose to work with your spellwork instead of against it (easier said than done at times,) then you will have more successful manifestations.
This is also your focus when sending energy via spellwork. So let's say I am working to get someone a new job. I have a very strong clear picture of this and I am very aware of my energy as I work the spell. I am trying to move it into their auric sphere to attract this job to them right then and there. If that sounds "weird," then welcome to spellcraft. ;) When you speak to experienced magicians, we all have a very similar sort of way of how we move energy, - even if it is to request a spirit to move this for us, - and then there is a small subset of people who swear it literally has nothing to do with that, and if you merely have the right ingredients the spell will work. Well, if I give someone all of the ingredients to make cookies, and then don't supply them with a working oven, they can't cook them. Energy, and the will you put behind that energy, is the oven in that example. In fact, it's quite interesting, this strength is a bit like a muscle, and the more you cast spells, the more successful you will be, because it is like you are strengthening your inner "spellcasting muscles" which in turn makes your spells stronger when you cast them. You can work out this "muscle" just by doing meditation, but I recommend, again, frequent spellcasting as this helps you gain EXPERIENCE and KNOWLEDGE while also working out this nifty STRENGTH OF WILL. :)
I see many of you just kind of giving me a little glare because you wanted an easy answer.... I guess add crown of success oil to your spell then. Maybe that will help if you want an easy answer. ;)
