Hey Occulties,
Remember the time (well some of you,) when you asked me for a "dream spell" or a "wish spell" and you saw me visibly cringe? Apparently it's some planetary transit wherein that sort of thing is common again (I'll have to check out what is doing what, because this sort of thing does come in waves,) so in the hopes of making many more effective spellcasters rather than promoting relatively unuseful practices, let's do some review.
"Why do you think 'wish spells,' are stupid, Cat? Everyone wants a wish to come true!" In the words of my generation, "Well, duh," but of course, if you are doing magic, you probably should try actually using spells that are targeted towards your goal. Using some generic "wish spell," sounds pretty suspect, and I think you may have been watching too many children's movies about wizarding schools if you think you need a "wish spell."
Before you cry and stamp your feet at my audacity in saying that, let's examine some common wishes that aren't completely ridiculous wishes like wanting to be shrunk to two inches high or wanting to be transported into the 15th century to ask a dead relative if they think you're hot. So since you consider yourself to be a very balanced person you wouldn't ask for anything that is very improbable of ever happening, right? Instead your wish would be to marry your ex and be gloriously happy. OK, so that's not an uncommon thing for me to have requested, but why would a wish spell, as opposed to something like a reconciliation spell, love drawing work, commitment work, probably some communication work...then you might need to protect the relationship from outside influences... I'm sure I'm leaving out some stuff, but why would you want a wish spell instead? Is it because a "wish spell" sounds easier and you think a magical djinn gonna pop out and nod it's head and your wish is granted? Because you're probably just going to be suckered into getting a wish spell or performing one because it SOUNDS SO SIMPLE, but for any spell to cause such a complete and amazing change, it would have to be profoundly powerful (more powerful than any spell cast by any spellcaster I've ever seen, or even known to have historically exist) made even more impressive by the fact that all wishes of any kind would be granted by this very spell, so the ingredients must truly be ones I have never used or have known were useful as so.
I see that sour face on you. Basically, wish spells, so far as I have seen, are more or less fake. They just aren't real. Now I'm sure there is something that might qualify as a wish spell but your wishes would have to be a bit less grandiose. Like you might say "Well I want to win a prize - any sized prize - playing lotto, and while you'd actually do better doing a gambling spell insofar as prizes, a bet a "wish spell" would cover that and you might even win $10 or something.
Then comes the question of "Why are you always such a dick about dream spells! Dream spells are cool! Like you could totally use them to convince a target to do a thing!"
And you'd be right that they exist, and that they are not without purpose on the odd occasion, except that most people do view dreams (assuming they remember them,) as the brain entertaining itself while the body repairs itself and not as being something of any value. You forget a fair amount of people forget their dreams nearly instantly upon waking. Even me, who has the prophetic dream from time to time, places only very small value on 99.9% of dreams...and you may be (not saying you are, saying it's possible) projecting your own beliefs on dreams onto another. Like people who ask me for this stuff tend to place a heavy value on the meanings of their dreams, and just assume most people do. In fact the best use of dream work, in my personal opinion, is to cause sleeplessness and stress, or to use to sort of lull someone into compliance (one using nightmares, the other using reassuring happy dreams,) and not about directly convincing them, nor for rapid results.
Of course let's not forget, there is a whole army of people out there who want a spell and they don't know how to put into words what they want spellwise, so maybe they are just using unhelpful terms. So let's break this down into some easy steps.
First, think about what it is you want. Now place it under one of the following categories: Love/Friendship, Money, Business or Schoolastic Success, Court Case Work, Gambling, Avoiding Detection, Retribution/Justice, Cursing/Harming, Blessing/Protection, Cleansing (removal) or Reversing of Spiritual Work or Spiritual Conditions, Fertility, Health, Obstacle Removal, Control or Domination or other. Now if it's other, just hold on, and still read through the rest. Keep in mind that reconciliation and marriage would be love spells, and breaking people up is cursing.
Second (and if you saw a missing broad topic above, lmk,) now that you have an idea of what type of spell it is, now make a subtype. So above I say how reconciliation is a love spell. So you want your ex back, means you want a love spell, which is for reconciliation. Maybe you want to attract a new love, which would be a love attraction spell. For the sake of brevity, I will let you pick what subtype it is by just suggesting you define the underlying desire of the spell.
Third, now that you have those 2 facts in mind, try searching. Like do I want to make more money? More sales in particular? Then I might try "spell to make more sales" Clear off the ads. Literally I want you to check and see if this is an actual thing (it is.) Now, you will see "dream spells," "Luck spells," and "weight loss spells" and all sorts of things which technically aren't anything I'd recommend, but by actually trying to get an idea of what it is you want, you're already doing better. Once you realize there are spells for almost every need, you can be a bit more direct and avoid too many common bullshit tropes.
Because I commonly get this stinker of a question: "I like want a love spell. What kind of love spell? I dunno, what kinds are there? What do you mean like 100 subtypes. Oh, I mean I want my ex to come back." So, that's reconciliation. See now if you followed the above steps first, you'd already know that. If you said you wanted a "wish spell" my question would literally be (I'm sure this is verbatim on what I'd say, too) "what is your wish exactly?" Then, since you just wanted your ex back, I'd tell you the effective spell in that case would be a reconciliation spell. See how easy this is?
Since this just so happens to be something I review about once a year and I was getting a lot of "dream spells" and "wish spells" type requests, thank you for reading my long winded bit of advice on the topic. :D
