Hey Occulties,
Time for a review of sorts (I’ve written similar articles,) about what you may be doing to slow your spellwork’s manifestation.
*You are vigilantly focused on your situation, and often ruminate over what might happen next.
I’ve discussed lust for results, - I’m credited as the source for why this is now discussed at length as it was not really a huge topic until I started speaking about it over and over 15+ years ago, - and while it’s not a new problem, it’s visibly worsened since the onset of social media. Why? Because back when dinosaurs ruled the earth and we still didn’t know what social media was, it was very difficult to stalk people, and to make a point, we even did things like published a full free book listing peoples phone numbers and addresses. Why? Well, probably for the very reason one of my schools used your SSN freely as your ID number - this information could be given fearlessly as very few people could or would use this information in a harmful manner. Sure, it happened that people did use the info in harmful ways (the original terminator even found Sarah Connor using a traditional phone book,) but it was relatively rare so it’s just how we rolled. Because of the difficulty in stalking, people had a code of conduct which prevented many people from engaging in stalking. You’d have to practically drive back and forth in front of someone’s house and that was embarrassingly obvious. Or you might try calling and hanging up, but caller ID was invented so that was also not a covert way to stalk. This inability to be discreet led to people never starting that slow descent into obsessive anxiety. Thus the issue was not as prevalent.
Then came MySpace. Once that started the ability to covertly observe someone was greatly increased. Each new platform intensified this ability. When I first opened my business, I would say maybe 1/10th to 1/15th of my clients had lust for results badly enough to cause problems. Now it is at about 5 out of 6 clients. Many can be coached to stop the behavior but clearly the trend is now too many people have this issue. If you’re casting on your own you may wonder why the lack in results, and this is the likely cause.
Simply put, it’s an obsessive anxiety. The petitioner (person for who the spell is cast for,) repeatedly checks for signs of change in their situation, thinks on their situation, the spell, the people involved frequently, is often negative, sad, depressed, and feels nervous or hopeless when thinking in the situation, stalks the targets social media frequently (if applicable) fantasizes ir imagines in a negative light the future, and basically is overwhelmed by the situation and thoughts of it, sometimes to such a detrimental degree that they lose friends or their job. So this might mean you feel anxious, hopeless, depressed, and irrational (like too overjoyed about a reaction to a post or driven to a sobbing fit when you don’t get one.)
The stupid excuse people give us that of course they are emotional - this thing or person they are using the spellwork on is quite meaningful to them so it only makes sense. This falls flat when you realize that your home means quite a bit to you but most of us don’t stalk social media and fall into a crying fit, incapable of moving from a prostrate position should we find out a fifty dollar repair is needed or if we find out our rose bush died over the winter. Or perhaps you love your home but need to relocate for a job. Do you stop eating, and grooming yourself, talking about anything but losing your beloved home, etc? If you would fall to pieces, you probably are if the original 1/10-1/15 I’d have run into before the rise of social media who are prone to lust for results, if this sounds rather dramatic to you, —surprise! You can apply the following to all areas of life and all manner if people or things you’re attached to.
Start by accepting the loss. You have lost or are losing something even if it’s an amount of money to fix a thing or the amount of time you won’t have access to it to fix it, or even a permanent loss. Do not keep ripping open the wound. Instead address it. So with break ups you must say to yourself, “I have broken up with (person) so we are no longer a couple.” See there’s the part many get hung up on, - that’s scary. Don’t make this worse either, just say that to yourself. Then remind yourself the person is not dead, and that should you avoid bad behaviors and engage the right actions and behaviors that you can have them back. Maybe that might take time, or money, or patience, or faith but it’s not desperate. Remind yourself that. Accept what has happened. It’s not giving up. It’s letting yourself understand the loss or damage occurred and you cannot go back in time to change that, only work with what you have presently to make a future that you want.
Next figure out what you want to do. Do you want this thing you lost, or can’t have, or to fix the thing? How can you do that? Well maybe you’d fix it yourself, or you hire a specialist to fix it. You make that plan. Have a back up plan too. Do your research.
Now engage the plan like you would plant a seed. I do not dig up a seed to ensure it’s growing. I plant the seed, give it food and let it grow. So then must you do this if you have faith (which is imperative for spellwork) in yourself and your plan.
Now stop letting it rent space in your head. When the fears and doubts and desires to obsess on it or spy at it crawl in, remind yourself you’ve done the best you can and must now wait for it to blossom into being,
Thats how to sidestep lust for results. If you’re anxious, emotional, obsessing, irrational, moody, and always ruminating on the spell or the people or things it’s cast on, you’re sick with lust for results. You need to stop that because it slows manifestation or can kill it entirely.
*You work against your own spellwork.
Imagine you want a specific position in your company, and they are hiring for the position. You apply. Then you start acting horribly towards everyone within your current position, show up for work infrequently, and get drunk at work. Think you will get hired? Of course not. What if you did a spell and did all that? Of course not. Not even with a spell.
Imagine you and your partner have been arguing. You don’t want to break up with them so you argue more, have several crazy emotional outbursts, ruin their car, and call one of their parents to tell them your partner is an alcoholic and a slut. Think they won’t break things up? They will! Yes, even if you did a spell!
And mental illness does not get you a free ticket out of being held responsible either. In fact, if you come to me and say you were quite sorry for what you did and want it to be better, those spells still won’t work because it’s like you stomping on an ant and telling me you are sorry you stomped on it and expecting the ant to become whole and reanimate for saying so.
So work with your spellwork, not against it. It’s quite fragile in the formative stages and if it’s injurious to even obsess about, outright taking an opposing action towards it is clearly a bad thing.
*You don’t know apologies are for the one giving the apology, and you don’t realize begging isn’t going to win you anything in 99.9999% of situations.
This is basically for reconciliation situations but, for fuck’s sake, stop trying to win anyone back begging and apologizing. You’ll just push them farther away. If they broke up with you, stop calling and texting and messaging them past the necessary (like needing possessions back,) and even in those cases make sure it’s needed, not just like a pair of socks or a hair brush.
A break up, at the very least, I’d a demand for space so give that person space. Do not invade their space with your emotional begging, and discussions, and demands. That’s disrespectful and selfish in their eyes and will only make you even farther from ever coming back into their life.
And stop the martyr for love act. If you look miserable and sick and crazy, that will chase this person farther away too.
And the honorable mention? Every person you inform about active spellwork can impact it if it’s not manifested so keep your unmanifested spells to yourself (or among less than three people who aren’t chatty.) Plus never ever tell anyone anything unless you’re prepared for the whole world to know anyhow.
That's it for today!
