Hello Occulties,
Not sure if you knew this, but I have this nifty business site and on this site there are all these instructions and rules and guidelines where you can answer such nifty questions like “how do I pay you?” Which will in turn tell you about all the pay processors I accept; or perhaps “how much contact is too much?” Which will tell you things like if you’re having really very little or nothing during the manifestation phase this week, maybe one or two emails starting a new conversation thread at most. Apparently, a large portion of people I currently work for missed that, so I’m going to tell you a few things that apply to a great big portion of spellcasters like:
Stop asking us how the spell went almost immediately - we all hate it, and if you are to get an update afterwards it is generally told to you that you will prior to your paying your worker and before starting your work or right before they begin, and to wait for that persons update if they do offer an update after the casting. Asking us this question is NOT about being so curious as to how the spell went as it is to check we didn’t run off on you. I’ve literally had people ask me this 30 minutes after I’d told them I would be starting their work, and I wasn’t close to finishing. It also is a huge headache to answer my stock answer which is “everything went fine on my end,” out of order in my email queue so I don’t have these overly anxious types try to stupidly attempt a chargeback for daring not reply to them within 6 hours, and it tells me very clearly I’ve got someone who is almost definitely going to suffer from lust for results as well. And as I’ve said countless times, I really don’t send a discussion of the service for having learned very quickly that it causes more anxiety than when I don’t. I focus on the client’s well being and situation which tends to keep them on course and not fixated on anything from a typo in my report (this happened more than once,) to an insignificant detail thereof (none was ever significant,) to just a full blown panic attack over the entire thing. In fact, repeat clients get more details out of me as I can assess who will have a meltdown over a candle making a sputtery noise when that’s physics from a bubble in the candle to who will be excited and thrilled by a candle literally exploding (yep, exploding) during their service. Obviously if I had any problems, I do inform the client immediately but 4 out of 5 times just going over what is a daily and not often thrilling experience for me such as love spell work is going to make the anxious and overthinking and emotionally overwrought just more anxious. That’s bad for spellwork, so I focus on the client. Other people have other practices. But I do know we all hate the internet equivalent of peering over our shoulders going “how’d it go?” Next time just say you don’t trust us and you’re just checking up on us. The honesty will be refreshing. 😂
Step sending frequent screenshots of convos - instead summarize the conversation and send screenshots when asked (or just rarely.) Nine times out if ten you can cut fat and disk space usage by just telling us a brief summary and it’s just as effective. You don’t know how annoying that is until you read a forty page conversation to learn your client’s target was unsure about some decision and relented (or didn’t relent) at least 5 times a week.
Stop using your worker as your free therapist (or at least your grossly underpaid therapist.) I have had people literally expect me to act as an on demand therapist and cheerleader for what comes out to pennies per hour as a paycheck by the time they have manifestation, and I know several workers in the same boat. When you try to gently remind the client you have lots of clients and this isn’t your job they either don’t stop doing it or attack you so…it can be lose/lose.
And READ THE SITE of your worker before demanding refunds or acting in such a manner that you’d be kicked out of a physical business. You’d be surprised how many workers actually have very helpful information on their sites to prevent misunderstandings and to navigate the manifestation process easily. That’s why we spend so much time writing those pages for you.
A great client reads the site, doesn’t expect you to be on call for every thought that they have 24/7, and has faith in the work and in the worker. Remember, having a bad experience with someone else does not entitle you to treat the person you work with now like garbage. If that were the case, I’d be the most miserable and awful human alive to deal with because I’ve worked for some real nightmare clients! 😜 However most people I work for are genuinely good people who I love working for, which is why I’ve worked for others for about 20 years at this writing.
NEXT UP: My availability for readings is low. If you do not need a reading, please wait a week or so. It normally dies down when the first rolls around each month and I should have next day availability again shortly.
AND LASTLY, I really despise people discussing me when I’m not present. While I understand some of you are all currently coming from the same spot (and one which is unfortunately a source of the worst, most difficult clients I’ve had in the last five years as they are often grossly misinformed about spellcasting, what is “standard” for spellcasters to offer and prices, and about acceptable behavior and expectations for clients,) please keep in mind that discussing your active spellwork with others invites them to also have lust for results which can slow your manifestation speed, so please be judicious with the number of people you share with until your work manifests.
Fun article coming!
