Hey everyone,
I realize I’d been neglecting my blog as I’ve been dealing with my Instagram more due to the influx of the spectacle over substance people who, if it’s not something you can contain in a 90 second clip, they dont want it.🙄 Sadly, that’s too many people these days but it is what it is.
This will be presented as a series and these are in no particular order of importance.
Today let’s discuss one of these misconceptions which will come up again and again in the series, as it is pretty common.
MISCONCEPTION: An effective spellcaster or a real spellcaster has close to a 100% success rate* and will get you exactly what you want** or else they are a scam.
Reality: To understand spells, we must first understand that the goals we wish to achieve are the end point, not what was between doing the working (beginning point) and not yet having what was desired to having it. For example a rather well-known occultist friend of mine did a working for a relatively specific amount of money. I do not know the amount but for argument’s sake, let’s say it was $111,111.00. Within days, his home burned down, and the insurance company gave him a check for this amount of money. Certainly, he never wanted his home or possessions lost, but as magic takes the path of least resistance and he had not specified no loss of property, this was the most expedient manner in which to bring the money to him, therefore this is the manifestation of his work. The working, therefore, was a success.
You read that correctly.
Another story I have is of a woman who came to me wanting her ex back. He had just begun seeing another woman. I did the work and he came back, and as they lied together talking in a post-coital chat celebrating their reunification and returned relationship, the ex/again-boyfriend says, “I feel so bad about how much us getting back together will hurt (new flame) when I tell her tomorrow morning. It’s just awful of me to have done this to her. She really is a great girl.” Incensed that her rival would be complimented she threw him out, then proceeded to tell me my spells don’t work. Well that’s funny. He came back, he’s ending the relationship with rival, you said you wished her no ill so presumably ending it nicely, but your ego is hurt that he has guilt over how their relationship ended (not my problem, my work gave you all you wanted,) and my work was an astounding success. You got to the end point (reaching the desired goal,) and that this person has some scruples bothers you isn’t spell failure.
Both of these are examples of highly successful spells. Unfortunately, both petitioners would have preferred they manifested differently, despite getting exactly what they wanted. And I can think of numerous examples of this type. Why is that? Because we put the order in, and magic tales the path of least resistance. The more caveats added, the harder it is to create manifestation.
BUT being too vague might also lead to getting what you asked for which isn’t really what you want.
This is why sometimes a novice caster will find they’ve reconciled with an ex, but only to become really good friends. 🙄 Or, they leaned too much on the sexual based spells and now they have a friend w benefits who isn’t much of a friend and doesn’t want to get back together.
Keep in mind, your idea on how something should manifest is often highly improbable. It may seem perfectly probable to any rational person who has all the knowledge you yourself have on the situation. For example, I might want a particular job at a particular company, not realizing that they only listed it as this was a law that they must do so in that state even though they ONLY hire within the company (meaning they promote within their ranks,) and only hire someone to this listed job level after they have worked for the company at least five years in lower r el positions, always starting at lowest level (example store clerk.) Imagine applying for an upper level corporate position, and being offered the position of store clerk. This would be the beginning of your spell manifesting and many would say NO WAY. But the spell is successful, you’re just refusing the path to your goal. Or maybe a man desires a woman he knows sexually, so he does spellwork towards the goal of her being willing to give herself to him in any way he desires sexually, and being as she is very devout and will have sex with her husband, she pleads with him to marry her. The man, only wanting a fling, is mortified and doesn’t understand why his magic “isn’t working,” when in reality, the way to his desires manifesting is by the woman marrying him wherein she will give him all he wants of her sexually.
This is why I interview prospective clients, - because I must know if their desires are realistic or if I’d be like to hit one of these barriers where I will be blamed when in reality, the spell is manifesting just not in any way the petitioner had hoped.
There’s also what I term “self-made delusions” we all operate with at any given time. I might think someone would be a perfect partner, only to realize they are treacherous, unfaithful, and cruel to their romantic partners, then blame the spell for “not working” because it brought me the person I named to me, made them mine (which was the spell being successful,) only to have discovered I made a jerk love me, and just because a jerk loves you, it won’t make them not a jerk. In fact, it often makes them an even bigger jerk. A prime example of this was when I’d set out with some goals for a target of mine own many years ago and as I recall they were that I wanted him to say he loved me and mean it, that our mutual friends (we have several,) know he loved me and we were an item, for them to envy our love, and for reasons I can’t recall I wanted to see him cry just once. I believe I also wanted him to finally be able to commit, without ever saying commit to me. 😂 What resulted was he admitted he loved me very much and even told people as much, and many of our mutual friends remember us as a tumultuous on again off again couple, so obviously they feel we were an item at some point, and when one of his close relatives was ill, he broke down and cried in front of me about it. Of course, he could never commit. He even broke up with me to sleep with one of my friends which I found out a decade after the fact. I don’t hate either of them (she had no idea of what was going on between him and me,) and I laughed my ass off about it years later when she told me. And so many people absolutely envied him because I was so devoted to him that when we finally broke things off for the last time, and he was so mad at me for moving on and he started talking crap people told him to shut up because I “never” love anyone like that, (I was notorious for being difficult to gain my devotion and wasn’t known for falling ass over elbow in love with anyone like I was with him,) and that he never deserved me. That they would have killed to trade places with him. Then after he recovered a bit, he finally found a girl he’d commit to, realizing he’d thrown away love. So losing me taught him to commit. This is me literally getting everything I’d wanted and not at a how I wanted it. 😂
So the work was…sadly…successful.
But if I was a knob who did not understand spellwork, I’d complain it had not worked as yes sure I got all those things I’d specifically requested, but I had visions of us being a power couple, and not basically being in love with someone terrified of love like he was, who would get a case of the vapors every time he felt like it was getting too serious. The best part? I still love him very much, and my understanding is he still loves me very much too, but we are both happy with our current partners and I can say totally truthfully that I’m quite happy for him, with no resentment. Love, - real love, - means it stays with you forever and while I’ve no intentions of trying again (which I believe is mutual,) to paraphrase Michael Nesmith, I have no tears to cry for him, and my only thoughts of him are kind.
Plus, my work did work… just my ideas of what we should be did not suit the reality of our compatibility and temperaments at that time in our lives.
So while we sometimes think of a working as not successful, it is, just not how we would have wanted.
However there also exists the possibility in all spiritual work that we will not get what we want. Sometimes this is because we are being cheap or lazy. People use money spellwork to get money, then get incensed that burning a birthday candle dressed in money lol didn’t net them thousands of dollars. 😂 If I go to Shein for a dress to wear regularly at work, and you ho to the Chanel store for the same reason, 2 years from now, if we wear the dress every other week for two years, who is more like to have a dress in good condition? Yes, the person who bought Chanel. In fact, if you spent even $75 on a new dress as opposed to $14 like I did, you probably will have a dress in much better condition than I do, and I love Shein, at this writing, they are fun and I enjoy lots of their items, but if I’m being fair, I do not purchase from there with the idea I’m getting the same quality as designer clothing. Yet people invest no energy or money into their spell work and expect it to work as well as it would if they had.
And we neglect to admit we work against our own spells, don’t we? Even me! I’ve cast love spells only to argue with my target and tell him off! I’ve done money spells meaning to pay my bills then, went out with friends with some of my money, only to come up short at bill time! The spell worked but I worked against it!
Plus spells can’t make someone gay or straight, they won’t always override obstacles of great magnitude (if you didn’t get your high school degree you won’t be a heart surgeon with one spell,) and if we do not understand how they work (for example gambling spells up your percentage of success which really doesn’t help much with Mega Millions or Powerball with such foul odds,) and as i will go over it it another post, sometimes we slow down our own manifestation or lessen its impact.
But lastly this is NOT a job wherein you are guaranteed any result because you are paying for skill and knowledge and not at all for the outcome. Much like when you get medical help, you could still not be cured. Or you hire a lawyer and even with a slam dunk case, you might lose. There’s always going to be a chance of failure, no matter how good the person you hired is as their job. If you call that a scam, then I guess every single person who did their job to the best of their ability but didn’t get the result you desired - be that because you had very unrealistic ideals of what you could expect or because you hit an unforeseen obstacle, or you didn’t follow instructions, or you acted against that work, or just you got to be in the 5% of people where what you want isn’t yours to have despite all the efforts made on your behalf by yourself and others to bring to you what you wanted - just must be a scam. 🙄 You would be wrong to think this, probably lack the ability to be responsible for your own actions, lack self-awareness and possibly have a personality disorder to think like this, but rest assured, if you do, you don’t understand how spells work and have no business casting or purchasing them, so you would be wise to do neither, and that will help prevent this misconception from spreading further.
I think more spells are a success than people believe but I’ll be fair with you, and say even keeping a the above in mind, the most successful spellcasters EVER are going to fail probably 5-10% of the time. Draja Mickaharic had once claimed it was possibly even a larger percentage, and many occultists I know say it’s closer to 15% of the time.

*The idea of a success rate in this example meaning every single spell working exactly as the petitioner not the spellcaster intended, or better, in a time frame the petitioner decides is exactly x amount of time, being the benchmark most people use for successful work.
**as discussed above, these people often get exactly what they want, they just don’t like how getting it came to be, or have underlying complaints that didn’t exactly mirror their expectations.
