Spell to Draw Someone You Desire to You

Hey Occulties, 

Just a quick luv spell tonight. For those new to spellcasting, please do not expect instant results, avoid lust for results, and do not act against your spell by being rude, fighting with the target, or acting crazy and/or off-putting. Desperation and throwing yourself at your target are both off-putting. And as always, you should know the target more than just "in passing," but actually be personally acquainted with them.

Alrighty, let's get on with it then. ;)

You will need:
A figural candle corresponding to the genitalia of the desired target (penis or vulva candle,) 
A figural candle corresponding to the genitalia of the petitioner (or yourself if you are casting the spell for yourself,)
A personal item (hair, nail clipping, spit on a napkin, etc,) from your target
A personal item from your petitioner,
A red ribbon or cord,
A purple ribbon or cord,
A pink ribbon or cord
Honey
Sugar
Licorice root
Rose petals (red or pink) 
Love Drawing oil
Come to Me oil
Follow me Girl/Follow me Boy (hetero ladies and gay gents use Follow Me Boy, hetero gents and gay ladies use Follow Me Girl, and if you're seeking a trans target, please use the formula for the gender your target identifies as,)
A large heatproof container like a roasting pan (not the disposable kind,)
OPTIONAL- Sand to place the candles upon in your container for added fire safety

Take your red cord, and anoint this with Come to Me oil, anoint your pink cord with Love Drawing Oil, and your purple cord with Follow me Boy/Girl oil. Using this method, place your personal items corresponding to the proper party into the proper candles. Carve the initials or name of each person onto the candle representing that person. Anoint both candles UP (base to wick) with all three oils, and place these into your fire proof container so. that they are facing towards each other. Sprinkle sugar, rose petals, and licorice root on the candles. Take your red cord and tie it around the candles saying "I bind your sexual passion to (me/petitioner), (name of target.)" Tie your pink cord around the candles and as you do say "I bind your romantic love to (me/petitioner), (name of target.) Tie your purple cord around your candles as you say "And I bind you to follow my lead one month and a day, that you will come to me, willingly, lovingly, and desire me and me alone." Now drizzle the candles with some honey. 

Before you light the candles, take a moment to see, in your mind's eye, the couple happy together, passionately in love and, keeping this image in your mind's eye, light both candles (starting with the target's candle, then the petitioner's candle,) and say "I draw you to me/petitioner now, this very moment, (target's name,) and this flame creates in you a burning desire for me/petitioner and me/petitioner alone. I draw you by your desire, and with this overwhelming desire, only I/petitioner can satisfy you, so you are at my/his/her beck and call. I draw you to me/petitioner this very moment, this very second! The more you try to resist this command the stronger the urge to follow my command becomes. As is my will, so be it!

Allow the candles to burn out. When they have done so, tie the remains of the cords in a knot and keep them under your bed until the spell manifests.

I'm sure there will be questions, so feel free to ask!

Spell to Draw a Specific Person to You

Hey Occulties,

Since a couple of people decided they were going to drag out consultations (which I don't mean you told me outright you can pay me on x day,) I have a super free night tonight. I could spend that cleaning the house (ewwww,) or writing an article, plus keep in mind that dragging out a consultation can cost money (as can getting multiple consultations without purchasing anything repeatedly), so in a way, now my readers and I are both ahead. :)

So tonight since everyone's getting all mushy thinking about Valentine's Day, I figured I'd feature a love spell, even though I do warn you that this doesn't mean in like ten days someone is definitely going to come charging in the door with a dozen roses in hand wishing desperately for you to be in their loving arms. As always, keep your expectations realistic, no stalking or acting badly towards the target, no fighting, etc. The idea is to let the target reach out to you first. OK? OK.

You will need:

Four pink "chime" candles
3 red "chime" candles 
An image of the target
Dust from a riverbed
Sugar (plain old granular sugar)
Powdered licorice root
Powdered pink or red rosepetals
Come to Me oil
A large pie plate, cake tin, or other heatproof container
A sharp object like a needle or a pin
Optional: Sand

In a small bowl, mix together about 2 tablespoons each of the sugar, licorice root, rosepetals and dust. This does not have to be exact measurements, and you are aiming for about equal parts of each. Hold your hands over the mixture, envisioning you (or the petitioner) together, and say "(Name of Target,) your run faster than the river to hold me (or petitioner name) in your arms." and repeat this six more times, for a total of seven times. 

Now using your sharp object, carve up (base to wick) your command for the target, - something like "come to me," or "desire me," is perfectly appropriate. You may use the same command for each candle or a different one on each or even 3 different commands, etc., but keep it simple. Don't write a gigantic mega sentence on each one. Now anoint each candle from base to wick, using seven strokes of the hand and as you anoint each one say "(Name of target,) you run faster than the river to hold me in your arms," each time you anoint a new candle. 

Take pie plate or heatproof container and place the image of your target in the center. Now make a circle with the dirt/herb mixture, so that it is around the target. Place the candles outside this circle, alternating the red and pink. Light the candles starting with the western most candle, and as you light each, say "(Name of target,) you run faster than the river to hold me in your arms."  As you light the final candle, speak, looking directly into the eyes of the target's picture, and say "(Name of target,) I conjure you to come to me now, this very moment, this very second, immediately, and each moment that passes the stronger the urge to be with me becomes. I call you now, to come to me this second, as I know you are alone in this world, so I demand you come to me and be my partner, and to come to me full of desire and love this very second! As is my will, so be it!" Allow the candles to burn out. Take the image and hide it in your bedroom, usually between the mattress and boxspring is a good place, until the target comes to you. 

Sand is optional to fill the pie plate so that your can use it as a fireproof substrate that also doesn't get incredibly hot. The rest of the remains should be thrown out in a location east of your home.

I'm sure there will be questions, so please ask!

Spell for a Woman to Attract a Former Lover Back to Her

Hey Occulties,

I don't generally post sex-specific spells (and, alas, it gets even more specific,) but here's one I don't think I've shared. 

So, cisgendered heterosexual ladies who still menstruate are going to have the best effect here. If you no longer menstruate due to medical issues or age, this spell may not be for you. If you are a cisgendered lesbian, I do not know how well this will work for you, but feel free to try it out, and report back. If you are a F to M transperson still having an active uterus, or are genderqueer and have an active uterus, it may work but most likely on a target born male. 

There, I think I hit all of the sexualities on the LGBQT+ rainbow. If I did not, feel free to let me know if you have questions. 

You will need:
Your morning urine and menstrual blood collected on the first morning of your period (so if it started Tuesday night, you will use Wednesday morning)
Red Rose petals
Honey
Catnip
Damiana

Collect your urine in a small to medium pot when you wake up and to it add honey, red rose petals, catnip, and damiana. It is okay to dilute this with water. On your stovetop, boil this for about 7 minutes on a low boil. It will smell like pee, so again, if it really smells very very pee smelly, it's perfectly fine to dilute this with water. Now as it boils you will stir it and seven times for each minute for a total of seven minutes, you say "(Name of target,) I am irresistible to you, and you have no peace or tranquility until you come to me."  Once you have said the phrase a total of 49 times (7x7 is 49,) remove the mixture from heat and allow this to cool, then place this into a bottle or cup. When it is dark out and there are less people nearby, starting near or at your target's door, make a "trail" of this tea back to your door. I do not rightly expect many of you pee enough pee to make it over the course of 10 miles or anything like that, so clearly this is intended for a nearby target. When you have reached your own door (or the outside entry of the building leading to your door,) pour the remainder of the tea here. It should attract your target to you rapidly. 

As I know I will be asked, how in the fuck are you to walk around with a cup of piss and no one will know? Since I realize a fair amount of you lack the necessary adaptability and problem solving skills that would be required of a great magician, I will help... And you will also wonder why you asked. Go get a sippy style cup (like a travel mug) - even using a coffee cup like they give you at a coffee shop with the little opening on the top is perfect, and then no one will see what's inside. Also useable are sport bottles with like those pull up nipple tops to them. As you'll want to keep in your mind's eye, the image of the target being pulled to your home as you lay this stuff down, be sure you pick a container which isn't going to overwhelm your sense of impropriety if you feel very weird about holding a cup of pee-tea in public.

I'm sure there will be questions, so you know where to find me. :)

Mercury RX Get that Sexy Ex Back Spell

Hi Occulties,

You know, I have to say 2022 was like a non-stop Mercury retrograde for me, so much so that I didn't realize we were in a Mercury retrograde until someone said something about it to me on Saturday, ha ha. ;) I can't say the same for everyone else, but it does kind of clear up why it took me three damn days to update my nameservers and I had to ask for help doing so when I've been doing that stuff since the early aughts all on my own. :P

And while everyone bad mouths Mercury retrograde (and it surely has it's bad sides,) Mercury retrograde does have a tendency of doing one thing a lot of my readers are seeking....it's a mofuggin' exes coming back magnet, yo. That's right, whether you want an ex back or want to be as far away as possible from everyone you ever dated, it's very possible someone from your dating history (or even multiple someones,) are gonna reach out. 

Of course that depends on if you want an ex.

And with it's goodness (or goodness for some,) it also helps reconnect you with people you've lost touch with. So, that, again, is good for some people who fell out of communication with a loved one. 

We all know it's bad sides of making communication difficult, messing with banking, messing with electronic communications, making websites and apps act weird, but if you formed any relationship (business, friendship - within the last 3 or so years, and romantic - within the last 5-8,) you might also have noticed that if that relationship was formed during the shadow period of mercury entering retrograde, or during a mercury retrograde itself, your relationship often goes sour during this time, and that can lead to a permanent split. I know folks who say that is a permanent issue which is why someone should avoid creating long term partnerships in a Mercury retrograde, but in my experience it does seem to even itself out after several years. Now, that could also be a good thing. Maybe you want to fuck up someone's relationship. Did it form during a retrograde? Well, use this one to further your causes then. In fact, go make your rival's ex be all over them like white on rice while their relationship is fucked up from them forming it during a Mercury retrograde. Remember, everything is an opportunity if you're crafty enough. (evil laugh) I'm glad I didn't get with my current partner during a Mercury retrograde but having had a ticket to that shitshow more than once, you have my sympathies if you formed yours during one. Feel free to contact me for helpful tips on keeping your relationship stable during a Mercury retrograde if you find yourself in that situation. 

Because today we are going to do a little spell to call that sexy ex you want back into your life, rather than focusing on fixing something existing. This spell will likely work just the same outside of Mercury Retrograde but I thought it was a cute title. :)

You will need:
white granulated sugar
brown granulated sugar
real vanilla extract
red and/or pink rose petals (dried)
licorice root chips or powder
cinquefoil (dried)
Return to me oil 
Spool of pink thread (small - best if it's about the size you find in a sewing kit) 
Image of the target (small)
Image of yourself (or the petitioner, also small) 
A small piece of plain paper (I use traditional brown paper bag with all edges torn off)
A pen, preferably with black ink or green ink
A small pink (or traditional red-flannel) bag
A pink candle or sealing wax 

To create - in a small bowl, place about a teaspoon of licorice, a teaspoon of cinquefoil, a teaspoon of rosepetals, and about 2-3 teaspoons of vanilla. Allow this to soak up the vanilla and give it a day or so to dry a bit. Vanilla extract is actually a ton of alcohol and it may take less time. Once it is no longer feels moist it is ready. It's perfectly fine to soak this and then spread it on something to dry out. 

Now using your pen and paper, write out the ex's name seven times. So if my ex is Chris Hemsworth (ha!) I would write this out as:
Chris Hemsworth
Chris Hemsworth
Chris Hemsworth
Chris Hemsworth
Chris Hemsworth
Chris Hemsworth
Chris Hemsworth

And write across this seven times "Returns filled with love and desire to (your full name) now" seven times so it makes a sort of grid pattern. A similar example might look like this:

As you can see the spell target's name is running vertical here, with the command running horizontal, and crossing it. This is what you want to do.

Once this is created, spit into the center of the paper and say "(Full name of target) return filled with love, and with desire for (your name/name of petitioner) immediately, now, now." and place your target's image face up onto the paper. Now sprinkle some white sugar on the image, and repeat, "(Full name of target,) return filled with love and with desire for (name of petitioner), immediately, now, now." Now sprinkle some brown sugar on the image, and repeat again "(Full name of target, return to (name of petitioner,) immediately, now, now." Now sprinkle some of the vanilla-soaked herbs on the image and say it a fourth time. Now, place the image of yourself/petitioner face down over the image and herbs and sugars, and repeat it a fifth time. Now fold the paper towards you and say the phrase a sixth time. Fold it towards you again to quarter the paper (so if you unfolded this it would have a rectangle in every corner, not four rectangles in a line) and say the phrase a seventh time, and when you say it a seventh time, you then say "(Name of target,) I call upon your very spirit to return to me (or petitioner,) so that you seek me* out like a moth to a flame. Come to me now, call me now, be with me now, - immediately! This very minute!" Now start wrapping this up with your pink thread, wrapping towards you and as you do so, keep calling to the target as above, so you can use what was given "(Name of target,) I call upon your very spirit to return to me (or petitioner,) so that you seek me* out like a moth to a flame. Come to me now, call me now, be with me now, - immediately! This very minute!" until you have wrapped into a cocoon with your pink thread, then light your pink candle or use your sealing wax and try to cover this with the wax so all of the ingredients stay in. When you have done this, say "As is my will, so be it!" and then you take the packet up to your lips and blow on it three times, and say "I give you breath of life that you work for me as I tell you to," after each breath, and place this in your pink bag. Place a few drops of return to me oil into the bag to feed it (feeding it once a week on friday for as long as you need it to work thereafter.) and tie it shut. Hide the pink bag in or under your bed where it won't be found only to take it out as needed. 

Hope that was educational. If you need me, contact me here.

*I hate to say this but some people are very slow and will not understand that "me" and "I" needs to be replaced with the petitioners name if not being cast for yourself. So, since it is annoying to everyone who could figure that out, from here, you need to replace that with your petitioners name if you are working for another.

Simple Spell to Calm and Sweeten a Person Towards You

Hey there Occulties, 

Just. what you needed during this Mars retrograde - an easy simple spell to calm someone down and make them more sweet! Remember, of course, spells are not insurance against bad or unhelpful behaviors. If you are behaving negatively or unkindly or inciting arguments and/or upsets, your target will still react and get angry and/or defensive. You need to use this work in conjunction with being on your best behavior. FURTHERMORE, while I've been over this MULTIPLE TIMES on this blog, apologizing repeatedly or begging forgiveness is desperate, annoying, and will get you into a worse position, so please do not couple this spell with that sort of behavior. 

Alright, now that we have given the advisories to those deeply in need of them, for the rest of us, this spell works very nicely when things have been a bit curt between you and another and they seem absolutely intent on stirring up fights and being defensive. I prefer working this as a jar spell, so I'll start with that and move on to the non-jar version for those of you who do not like jar spells. 

Jar-Spell Version 
You will need:
A medium-sized glass jar (old salsa jars are great for this) with a metal lid. 
Corn Syrup (Karo) or Honey
Sugar
Poppy seed
Lavender
White Rose petal
Tranquility or Peace Oil (currently if you go to SeraphinStation.com for your condition oils, Miss Karma will be glad to get you all set up with premium Hoodoo condition oils)
Reconciliation oil
Olive leaves or a small piece of olive branch*
A lock of your hair tied in a knot with a lock of the target's hair**
Light blue chime candles 

Putting together the jar:
This is best done on a Monday, during the first quarter moon, especially when the moon is in Cancer. Add in your hair knot, about a half cup of sugar, a tablespoon or so of poppy seeds, a tablespoon or so of lavender buds, a tablespoon or so of white rose petals, and about ten olive leaves or about a half tablespoon of olive twigs. If you do not have olive leaves or twigs just skip that part and add 2-3 drops of olive oil to your condition oils later on. Pour in your honey or Karo to fill the jar and seal this tightly with your jar lid. Hold your jar in your hands and envision peace and tranquility and harmony between you and your target. Try to send this intention into your jar. If you do not feel that you can send energy, just sit keeping this image in your minds eye for awhile to help empower the jar. When the jar feels "full" (or when you've meditated on your desired outcome for a few minutes while holding it,) shake it as you repeat SEVEN TIMES the following sentence, "(Targets name,) let there be only peace and kindness between us," and after the seventh time you say this, say "As is my will, so be it!"

Place the jar on your altar (or whichever space you have designated to use,) and anoint a light blue candle with Tranquility and Reconciliation oil (and your olive oil, if needs be) using seven pulls UP (base to wick) to anoint the candle. Light the candle and secure it to the lid of your jar with the drippings. This part is generally ad libbed, meaning you would speak from the heart, and command peace be between you and that the target calms and is receptive to this, but as I know many of my readers might fumble there, having little to no practice in proper speech in a spellcasting you, might use the following: "(Target's full name,) we are now at peace and avoid all argument, and all contention and only forgiveness and sweetness flows between us. Let us heal and return to love and kindness, as is my will, so be it!" Allow the candle to burn out, and clear off any wax drippings once it has. A candle should be burned on this jar every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday until the target has calmed down and you feel there is no longer any animosity between you and them.

Candle-Spell Version
You will need
A light blue candle
Sugar
Poppy seed
Lavender
White Rose petal 
Olive leaves or branch*
A lock of hair tied in a knot with the targets hair**
Tranquility oil
Reconciliation oil
A scrap of paper with all edges torn - not ripped - off
A green- or blue- inked pen
A pie plate or cake tin or similar fire proof container
Sand

This spell is best worked on a Monday in the first quarter of the moon, especially when the moon is in Cancer. 

Fill your pie plate or cake tin with sand. Place this on your altar.

Start by inscribing your name paper using your green-inked (or blue-inked) pen as so - write the target's name out 7 times, so in this example we will use Jason Momoa because I'm not fighting with him but he's hot so... I would write it like this 
Jason Momoa
Jason Momoa
Jason Momoa
Jason Momoa
Jason Momoa
Jason Momoa
Jason Momoa

Then turn this so that these names are running vertically and write your or the petitioner's name across these in the same fashion horizontally seven times, so that it forms a sort of grid (If you're curious it looks a bit like this but your or the petitioner's name would replace "command"):

Now write, in a circle around the names, (it's okay if it's not a perfect round circle) "peace between us" repeating this as many times as needed to make a circle. Now spit in the center of your paper, add your hair knot and sprinkle a little of your herbs and sugar into the center of the paper, then fold in half once towards you, turn the paper and fold it once more TOWARDS you to quarter the paper. 

Now set this under your dish of sand.

Anoint your candle with seven pulls up (base to wick) of using your oils (add olive oil if needed) and hold the candle for a few moments envisioning you and your target (or the petitioner and target) happy, and at peace with each other. Try to send this image into the candle. If you do not feel you can send energy, just hold the anointed candle and picture this for a few moments. Now sprinkle some of your herb/sugar mixture on to the candle to coat it. What I do which is easier for me, is I use old scrap paper and place the herbs on it and roll the candle in it. You can as well. Place the candle into the sand so that it won't tip over. 

Light the candle, and keeping the image of yourself and the target (or the petitioner and target) at peace with each other in your mind's eye, say "(Target's Full name) I bring peace and kindness between you and (Name of petitioner,) and drive from you any animosity or anger. From this moment forward you shall be sweet towards them. From this moment forward you seek only to be at peace. I drive conflict away. I drive anger away. Only love and only peace between (target) and (petitioner,) as is my will, so be it!" Allow the candle to burn out. When it has, take the name paper and hide it somewhere near the front entry to your home. If you live in an apartment this is the door that enters to your apartment, not the hallway to your apartment. 

I'm sure there will be questions so you can find me at the usual place. :)

*I have, in a real pinch, poured a bit of olive oil in, but felt it didn't do anything. So, the next time, still suffering from lack of olive leaves and/or branch, I tried putting a few drops of olive oil on the candles with the other oils and it worked better, but I still feel the superior version is working this with the olive leaves in the jar. 

**I get very annoyed by being whined to that this person doesn't have hair any length you can get a lock of it. Look, as a person who has been capable of getting a beard whisker left in my sink and tying it in a knot with some of my hair using tweezers, you can guess about how much sympathy I have for such matters. So...I'm sure you can figure it out. Worst case scenario, tie your hair and and a used band aid with blood from your target together in a knot. The tedium of having to think up solutions for people who clearly never learned problem-solving skills for having grown up with a thing like Google being ever-present in their lives has finally gotten to me, and I think it's time some of you young-uns actually learned PROBLEM SOLVING SKILLS rather than expecting someone else to give you a solution as if the internet suddenly fails one day, everyone 30 and under will be dead in a week if you don't learn said skills. So, no time like the present - if you email me asking for a substitution, please know, I'll just tell you to figure it out on your own - that is, if I reply at all to that question. Your brain needs exercise and unfortunately I can't warp you back 30 years ago to when you couldn't just get in contact with anyone instantly so you had to hope they might reply to your LETTER YOU SENT with your question - if they even get the letter at all - to answer your questions, so you only asked serious difficult questions if you contacted the person just because it was such a pain in the ass...but we were skinnier and our brains were superior and worked better so...it was better in many ways.

Ominous Love Spell Warnings

Hey Occulties, 

You know what annoys me day after day and year after year? This stupid phrase/belief or those near to it:

“I know the dangers of casting love spells on a specific person”

And what are those “dangers?”

Usually some claptrap about “karma” when the only Karma I believe in is Karma Zain (she’s real, known her for like 20 years, even spoken on the phone with her before,) and as for that which you do in this life affecting your next incarnation, I can’t really say as that is religious dogma I don’t share, but I can say that karma has nothing to do with if you do bad things in this life it comes and bites you in the ass in this life…unless you do bad things to Karma Zain because she’s pretty tough and good at spellcasting and she might kick your ass (magically.) So unless the karma you fear in you love spells is the aforementioned Ms Zain, let’s cross that off the list for now.

The next is that the love “created” by the spell will be “cursed.” The problem you may be encountering us that love spells do not make you compatible, nor do they change a jerk to a Prince. So just because someone loves you, it doesn’t change them to a kind or good person, nor does love make a relationship functional. That isn’t a curse. That is either naivety on the part of the petitioner (you must be very young to believe love conquers all, - though it is a powerful force, it doesn’t make people behave right nearly as much as it makes them behave badly,) nor is it entirely a bad thing. If I am not compatible with my partner, it is best we both find a compatible partner otherwise we will find ourselves miserable in our pairing eventually. 

In fact the whole “reconciliation spells never work,” is a stupid idea promoted by people incapable of responsibility for their own actions (so they engage in the same behaviors which ended the relationship before,) and/or introspection and acceptance (so they can’t accept it was not compatible to begin with and continually pull back their ex over and over in a desperate attempt to keep them borne of possessiveness and not love.) Reconciliation spells have saved a great deal of relationships, but it still required work to avoid the same mistakes that broke the couple up so that the relationship remained functional. 

Love spells do not create hate or disdain. This is nearly always the petitioner acting against their spellwork albeit unintentionally. The spell is cast and the petitioner acts desperate and scary and crazy. Love spells cannot change that you are socially inept if you are even if you are only made so by the object of your affections. So if you scare your target off demanding love and affection or with huge emotional displays it is you and not a spell who is to blame when, being put off by the smell of desperation, the target goes running in the opposite direction. 

Love spells are not magical rape. I might agree that if the intention was just to make random people have sex with you with a wave of your hand this may equate to that. Love spells are made to stir the heart, not the gonads, and are not the same thing as lust spells. 

Love spells do not create real love. Love spells can stir up the feelings of love where love exists but in reality a target who does not love you feels infatuated with you when affected if you are working in them to make them feel romantic love. If you do not specify romance, I’ve seen some well meaning people come up with a new best friend out of their target but no romance. 

So with all that in mind, what are these dangers and evils associated with love spells outside of a particular religion of about 100 years of age saying they are wrong (and yes Wicca and it’s neo pagan off shoots are where that idea most often comes from)? You need not agree but in 30 years of casting spells I can’t say love spells were some scary deadly force… the worst outcomes tended to be a few people who ended up not being all the petitioner wanted so the curse was telling the target to bugger off when that was realized.

Nifty Little Controlling Jar Spell

Hey kids, 

So with a first quarter crescent moon, and it being Friday, (then sun is even in Pisces, which is a water sign,) it’s a perfect day for love magic, and I’m certain I’ll be getting lots and lots of love and reconciliation requests for spell work trickling in as the day progresses for that reason, so I figured I’d get an article up before the day has become too busy. 

Having had some fantabulous news today, I am in a cheery mood (my lack of lecturing is not from me taking a hard hit to the head,) so I think today’s offering will be a nice little spell (which since none of you mind all my smart instructive lectures when you are given them is probably for the best.)

Many of you come to me insisting that if you just had a conversation with the person you desire, then all would be well and things between you would resume being loving and enjoyable, when in reality, what you really are telling me it’s that if you’re able to have this person be calm and receptive to what you were saying, you might persuade them to be yours or return to you, whichever is suitable. If I just threw you and this loved one in a room right now, you’d both just fuss and argue and make my job (if you’re employing me,) harder, and/or your situation more difficult, though because this person is not interested or desirous of having any such audience with you, so, possibly, you may be wrong to think if you just open up the lines of communication, that all will be well. 

Instead, I might suggest that you open this person’s mind to your suggestions. And, since jar spells are all the rage at the moment (probably because they are really easy for beginners,) I have something you might try.

You will need:
A small jar with a metal lid like a baby food jar
Poppy seeds
Licorice root (shredded or powdered,)
Lavender flower
Commanding OR controlling oil*
Come to me oil*
A packet of PURPLE birthday candles or chime candles (they need to be small, but as chime candles are slightly bigger, you will get more power from a chime candle,)
Something personal from the target (a hair of the head is best, but any biological witness sample will work,)
A small piece of paper with all the edges torn off 
A pen with black or purple ink
An image of the target.

Pre-Spell Set up:
Mix approximately equal parts of your herbal ingredients (licorice, poppy seeds, lavender,) to fill the jar about half way, then add in the item of your target. Fill the jar to the top with approximately equal parts of your remaining herbal mixture. Add in about equal parts of your oils to make the contents of the jar “wet” (not soupy, but almost a paste consistency,) and then seal the jar shut.

This jar can be reused, but remember to dispose of it if it gets moldy. Keep in mind that herbal ingredients can grow mold and if they do, they will create gasses, and the jar may burst. For this reason I strongly recommend storing this in a cool, dark place, inside of storage containers as just a plastic bag can get eaten away by some essential oils.

Spell:
Write the target’s name NINE times using the pen described in the you will need section, as so (replacing Jason Momoa’s name with theirs, haha,)

Jason Momoa
Jason Momoa
Jason Momoa
Jason Momoa
Jason Momoa
Jason Momoa
Jason Momoa
Jason Momoa
Jason Momoa

Now turn the paper so the names are running vertically and write the command across this 9 times horizontally, creating a sort of grid pattern. You of course will use your own command, but for example purposes:

Desires to know everything Cat is thinking about him
Desires to know everything Cat is thinking about him
Desires to know everything Cat is thinking about him
Desires to know everything Cat is thinking about him
Desires to know everything Cat is thinking about him
Desires to know everything Cat is thinking about him
Desires to know everything Cat is thinking about him
Desires to know everything Cat is thinking about him
Desires to know everything Cat is thinking about him

A proper command is simple, direct, and uses the present tense. Examples are “Listens with interest and responds thoughtfully to (petitioner’s full name,” or “Reads and quickly replies to (full name,)” or even “Responds gently and lovingly to (full name.)” Ridiculous things like they give you all their money or that’s they spontaneously combust if they ever say a mean thing again, etc are not apt to happen. Keep it simple, keep it realistic.

Once you have finished the name paper, fold this once towards you, and turn and fold in half towards you again, place this on top of the image of your target, and then place the jar on top of the name paper. Now anoint one of your candles with a few drops of each oil, using seven strokes up (base to wick,) while envisioning your target in your minds eye, and if you are good with mental imagery, try too see the target actively interested and open to your suggestions (example, leaning towards you or the petitioner, whichever is the case.) Light the candle, and secure those to your jar lid with a few drippings. Once secured, and while still trying to keep a mental image of your target in your mind’s eye as you speak (sometimes leaving an image of them near you where you can see it is a huge help,) say “(Full name of target,) come to me, do as I say, for the more you try to resist me, the stronger the urge to do as I command you to do becomes. (Target’s name,), I command you to (state command you used,) wand do so lovingly, sweetly, submitting to my will immediately, Nola, now, - so be it!” Let the candle burn out, and then clean the wax off of it, and store to repeat the spell until the target has submitted to your will. 

The spell is best done on Sunday, Thursday, and Saturday and should be done each of those days continuing until the target submits. However, if the desired end is love, omit Tuesday, and instead use a Thursday, Friday, Saturday schedule.

This is mild spell so if you aware looking for something more intense, I suggest this instead.

I’m sure there will be questions, so please ask - and if you want some love or reconciliation work done by me, please let me know ASAP! 😊

Loving Communication

Hey Occulties,

Here I am with the nearly-impossible task of making you a new article - and why is it so? For starters my birds have eaten my computer, to add to this, I am still hugely in debt from moving because people apparently didn't understand that losing tens of thousands of dollars both during and in the aftermath of my marriage to my ex and to the illegal forced move from my former landlord (who is now currently the subject of many news articles documenting his illegal activities, and I hope he's enjoying that,) so I can't get a new computer AND pay all the bills...which additionally was made more difficult on me by the fact that I did a sale that enough of you did not participate in, so I lost a vast amount of supplies at a hugely reduced cost while not making enough to purchase the supplies needed to make it a profitable exchange....so now we are all enjoying "fuck you February," for it. This means there are no deals. None. No sales, no discounts. Sorry, I can't do it this month or probably even next, and to top it off, until I get a computer that works there will be a greatly reduced amount of articles because it literally took me 90 minutes just to get what's left of my computer working well enough to type. :P 

So back to the topic at hand. We were discussing love spells and so here is one for your consumption...

The following is to get a non-communicative partner to start being more communicative. You will need:

A parrot feather (these are available online and at many craft stores,)
Something which has touched the mouth of the target (a napkin, a piece of toothbrush,) 
Orange cord or ribbon
Light  blue cord or ribbon
Pink cord or ribbon
Honey
A small jar or vial
Tobacco
Poppyseed

Braid your three pieces of ribbon or cord together, then wrap these around your parrot feather and item which has touched the mouth of your target, saying 9 times "(Full name of target,) speak to me, tell me everything in your heart and mind, talk to me, tell me all," and when you have said this nine times, and the items are secured together by the braided cord, say, "As is my will, so be it." Be sure to keep your target in your mind's eye as you do this, speaking to you and with the image of them being open and talkative. If you have difficulties with doing this, pick an image of your target from your photos where they look open, happy, and welcoming. For example, you might choose an image of a time you spent with this person when they were outgoing and talkative towards you. Place this image on your workspace, and look at it while you say the chant. Now place the wrapped packet into your vial or jar, adding tobacco and poppyseed, then filling with honey. Cap tightly, and place this item into your right hand. Now shaking the jar vigorously, say "(Full name of target,) every time I shake this jar, the urge to tell me all that is in your heart and on your  mind becomes overwhelming to you, and with each shake I give the stronger the urge becomes. You are powerless against silence, and tell me all, you tell me everything, - immediately, now, now, this very moment! As is my will, so be it!" Place this item some place where it will not be disturbed. Repeat the chant "(Full name of target,) every time I shake this jar, the urge to tell me all that is in your heart and on your  mind becomes overwhelming to you, and with each shake I give the stronger the urge becomes. You are powerless against silence, and tell me all, you tell me everything, - immediately, now, now, this very moment! As is my will, so be it!" once daily during the hour of Mercury until your target is telling you all you wish to know. 

Just as a caution, sometimes the target will tell you far more than you ever wanted to  hear from them. :( So, be warned, you might hear too much!

The (Mostly Non-Magical) Reasons your Love Spellwork May Not Manifest

Hey there kids, 

Sorry for the delay on spell based articles. To say it's infuriating to type with three  birds all over you is an understatement, ha ha. However you've waited too long, so in no particular order of importance, here are some of the most common reasons I see people ruin their love spells, often without intending to...

*Untreated Borderline Personality Disorder: Sadly, I see a lot of people come into my virtual office with such strong symptoms of this, that even I can tell it is the problem. If you often imagine scenarios that make you so upset you react to them as if they are real, if you are jealous of someone's ex from 25 years ago that they don't even talk to, or if you get mad if I'm three minutes late to our appointment, you probably should talk to someone regarding is it possible if you have BPD. In fact, if you tend to be clingy and insecure by nature, it wouldn't hurt to speak to a therapist as this disorder is VERY TREATABLE, HOWEVER, if you do not treat it, you will find your behavior often scares off the very people you want to keep close. :/ This is very very common, or at least I do see it a lot in my own practice, so being as it's clearly widespread, it does not make you a freak or "crazy" to have this condition, but you will feel so much better if you get treatment for it! 

You Think Social Media is Real/ You're Too Into Social Media: I can usually tell if a spell will fail by the number of updates which have to do with someone telling me about social media. There are even types of these updates which are worse than others. For example telling me you are stalking someone's social media and "Found Out" (note: you found out nothing, the person has more or less announced it,) whatever information, then you go on to compare it to what you "know" about that person's social media habits, then tell me this or that MUST mean (whatever thing you think you deduced,) which is in my experience very off base to begin with, I know you have much higher probability of spell failure than someone who tells me that their spell target liked a photo or something. Now, go ahead and make excuses for the stalking to yourself, but I assure you, you're the only one who will believe you, and in many many many many years of doing this work for others, most petitioners are too far gone with obsessive behaviors by the time they are using social media to "figure out" what's going on with their target. You can be as mad as you want for me saying it, but I'm being honest. Again, there are levels to this... I have a few exes of my own that would only contact me via social media, and I also understand that minimal movement could be noticed, it's more that these people scan whatever platform frequently to see what the target is doing. There's also a good reason I won't do readings for people who want to have a good cry about something they found out on social media...the more I can discourage self defeating behaviors, the better. I STRONGLY recommend a self imposed vacation from social media for 3-4 weeks if you're spellcasting. It can only help. If you were never that into it, you don't need to take a break usually, but if you're a daily user, you would be well advised to take a break.  Nothing on there is real life, and frankly 99.9% of any audience anyone has on there will have forgotten what was posted in a very very brief time. Try moving away from believing social media is anything of substance - it won't just benefit your spell, it will also benefit your mental health as a whole. 

You Believe that Anyone Offering Help/Advice For Free Is "On Your Side": People hate talking about your relationship which is exactly why you pay people to do so. So, if you're paying a therapist or spellcaster, that person is likely interested in helping as it's their job. Just offering you advice for free or involving themselves for free? That person almost definitely is not doing anything for your benefit. While I'm actually discussing mutual acquaintances you and your target have, unsurprisingly that free witch on TikTok who doesn't understand the four tenets of successful spellcasting (one of which is for you to KEEP SILENT,) is likely thinking the work to death with you while offering advice from a novice who is not even capable of casting a spell without entirely making it up from absolutely no experience or looking it up in a book. Try to keep people aware of your active spellwork to a bare minimum (it's fine to have a person other than your spellcaster to discuss it with, but don't have a group or several someones iin the loop,) if you really can't keep it to just between you and your spellcaster. Be wary of helpful mutual "friends" and always know anything you say or write may easily appear in a place your target could be aware of it. 

You Use Dating Sites/Apps to find Long-Lasting Relationships: In over 20 years of these existing, the percentage of working relationships that I know of (and I fix relationships for a living, so I know of more relationships than most people,) that came off of a dating site or app is easily under 1%, but the amount of absolutely horrific dating stories which begin with "I met x on a dating app/site," is a huge percentage of "horrific dating stories" which the dates start from any source, being easily 60-75% of them. Statistically speaking, if you want a lasting relationship, you would first meet your partner through mutual friends. A side benefit of this is there are several murders and abusers that hang out on dating apps that you'd likely avoid as your friends probably would not set you up with a person best known for strangling their dates unconscious. It's not even that I'm old fashioned - my clients have proven this time and again, as have several of my friends...for most people, dating sites and apps are really only good if you're looking for a one night stand.

You Aren't "Marriage Material": This is less about being actually married or wanting to be married, and more that several people want a lasting relationship, yet do not act like someone most people would want to stay with. When I ask a client what they have to offer someone else, often I get "Well, I'm good looking, and I'm witty," - this is like saying "I have a cool shirt, and I made a funny joke once." It will get you nowhere. Do you have a career? Do you have your own home? Do you have any upper degrees (so at least a bachelor's degree in something?) and if no on the degrees do you have certification in any trade? Do you clean up after yourself/keep a clean home? Do you have a pleasant demeanor even under stress? Are you good with children? Why is it someone would spend their life with you and entrust their money and home to you? If it's that you're hot and funny sometimes all you have is enough for a quick fling. Love isn't enough on it's own to make a relationship work. Until you can make yourself a valuable partner, you will keep falling short and lose long term relationships. 

You Lack a High- or Moderate- Social-Intelligence: I truly wish this was taught in schools...but then, I'd probably not have as much work if it were... It's fairly common, but many people just aren't socially adept, and mess up their relationships (romantic, platonic, and business relationships,) for this very reason. For example, you don't need the last word, silence IS a response, and stop apologizing so much would be things I would teach people which would benefit them greatly. :P

You Wrongly Believe You Know What Your Intended Partner Thinks/Wants: One of the most obnoxious things people do is tell me this "Well, he likes stupid bimbos with fake boobs that laugh too much" or "She prefers rich, dumb, asshole types" - really? REALLY? So when your "beloved" (who is clearly a shallow knob in your view) brags to their friends about their current squeeze, they say "Wow, she has the fakest tits I ever saw" or "he's the richest most asshole man ever!" in your eyes? You are jealous, plain and simple, and you also do not have any clue what this person likes or wants in a mate if you really perceive it as so. While you may see no value in your rival, your intended does. Maybe they rescue injured wildlife, or maybe they always wanted to be a cardiologist and are studying to be one...whatever the reason, you clearly don't know it. Dispose of trying to figure out why they are dating your rival and keep working on getting that person attracted to you. This actually is related to....

You Don't Actually Love or Care for your "Beloved": If you want to cause pain to someone or destroy their life so you can have them, you actually no longer really love them, if you ever did at all. It's up to you if you want to continue trying to seduce them because at this point if you get them, you will tire of them in a few weeks. I see it all of the time. 

You're Too Impatient: If you're crying about the lack of results in less than 2 weeks after a spell has been cast, you're definitely not someone who should be using magic to get anything.

Again, this isn't a finite list....but it's a nice opening for the love spell article I will be posting shortly. :)

Getting Back to Good - Reconciliation Spellwork Advice/Help

Hey Occulties

So, a lot of my requests revolve around getting that ex back, as you may have guessed. Let's assume you've done your spellwork, and now you're waiting for sexy-ex-y to return. You get a few tentative texts messages all of the sudden. Is the ex just trying to get back some possessions left in your care? I mean 3 months of silence and now they are oh-so-conveniently texting you now after you cast a spell on them? Hmmmm....

YAY! This is AMAZING GOOD NEWS! It looks like manifestation is on it's way! So as an educational exercise, we're going to play WHO WANTS TO GET BACK TOGETHER WITH THEIR EX!?

So, let's say this person is texting - what's your next move?

Person 1: "I'm going to respond pleasantly, not bring up the past, and not try to push any romantic agenda. I will wait for them to bring up our relationship if we are to discuss it. I'm hopeful but not investing everything in a few texts." 

Person 2: "I'm going to ask to see them in person!" 

Person 3: "I'm going to ask them if they are seeing anyone right now, and then, depending on their answer, I will ask to see them again, or I will collapse into a heap of tears when they say they went on a single date!"

Person 4: "I'm not going to respond. I'm kind of hurt this isn't about missing me." 

Person 5: "I already told them I still love them and want them, and I think I'm blocked now."

Who proceeds to the next round? Well this time it looks like everyone but Person 5 does, because, within reason, the first 4 people are still more or less working with their spellwork. Sorry Person 5, being too much and smothering the person was what you did, and so I'm afraid you can't play round 2. 

ROUND TWO:

So, after these texts about getting the possessions back, the ex (even with Person 4 not replying) the ex says something sweet like that they miss you and are thinking about you, and they hope you are good. Person 3 is lucky because the ex in our example did not report dating anyone and was clearly interested in a reunion so that didn't totally blow it. So, from here, you agree to meet up. When you see your ex, what's your next move?

Person 1: "I am cautious about their intentions, and I do not push for anything romantic or sexual. I let them know that I am tentatively interested in possibly getting back together. I try to keep the interaction fun and enjoyable. I do not bring up the past. It's a fun date, and I am starting to feel like all that bad stuff we went through is something we are healing from."

Person 2: "The moment they make a sexual comment, I just jump at it and we end up having crazy sex! Wow! This is so passionate! I'm so in love. Sure, they didn't say we were getting back together, but with that sort of lovemaking, they must want to!"

Person 3: "I am very sure to make sure they have not been with anyone else. I grill them on the matter. I then tell them when satisfied they have let no one touch them in my absence that it's good they did not or else I could not stay with them. When they bring up that I was pretty controlling and emotional during our relationship and it was difficult for them, I am offended and tell them that they are difficult and hard to get on with too. It was kind of a bad experience. They didn't seem flirty, just hurt."

Person 4: "I'm sullen and withdrawn. We see each other, but they aren't making any big displays of love so I'm assuming the spellwork didn't work."

Who proceeds to the next round? Surprisingly all four could, but you're right to think 3 and 4 are kind of screwing themselves, and 2 is not doing themselves any favor by not being sure that they aren't just having casual sex with an ex. So let's just say all four made it to round three, shall we?

ROUND THREE:

Now in round three, the ex is communicating with the petitioner, and clearly trying to be pleasant and kind, and even flirty. The petitioners are all feeling pretty good that this is going in the right direction and agree to another date. During this date, the ex brings up that they maybe DID go out on a few dates but nothing serious happened and it was months ago. How do our petitioner's respond?

Person 1: "I realize I do not own my ex. I'm not overjoyed by this revelation, but I don't let it affect my behavior towards them, or upset me. We were apart for three months. Realistically, they would have seen other people. It had nothing to do with me, and was just them being human and looking for companionship."

Person 2: "I die inside a bit. I ask them if those people mattered at all to them. My ex assures me that no not at all. I can taste my pain at the thought that my magical penis/vagina/other could not hold their attention in my three month absence well enough for them to not forget that other genitals exist! But I try not to let them know, even though I am sure the pain is present on my face." 

Person 3: "I freak out. I totally freak out. How dare they! I scream about them being a disgusting cheating lying piece of shit! I don't want ANYONE who could EVER touch ANYONE BUT ME after having me."

Person 4: I find myself hurt but I can understand it's been three months, so that they would have likely dated others. What I don't understand is how is my spellwork working if they can even admit this like it won't hurt?"

Person 3 does not make it to round four. Too crazy, too possessive, and their ex walks off deciding that they do not want to deal with that dumpster fire of possessive behavior. They do not get their ex back. :(

ROUND FOUR:

Things are definitely positive but your ex still hasn't asked if you want to get back together. You're sick of being in limbo - is this a reconciliation or not? Sure, you're communicating daily, there's flirting, but you feel stuck and that it's not moving PAST THAT POINT. You want to know you're back together. What do you do?

Person 1: "I wait for a time when we are having a great conversation, - laughing, being friends, and I say 'I really miss being your girlfriend/boyfriend/partner/etc.' and wait for their response to that." 

Person 2: "I tell them that I love them, and I really want to be sure we are back together after I have sex with them! If they look shocked when I say that, I start weeping and asking if they used me! When they try to reassure me but don't agree we are an item (or clarify that to me either way), I cry more!"

Person 4: "I say nothing. Clearly the spell isn't working." 

Well, sorry person 2...you've finally gotten cut. While optimistic and upbeat, you're being overwhelming and pushy in your own way. You offered the sex without commitment, and now your ex doesn't know if they want just the sex, and not commitment. Your tears and emotional outburst have ended your tenure. :(

On to the final round...

ROUND FIVE:

Your ex says "Well, I'd like to get back together with you, but I still have (doubts of a specific nature,) and I'm upset by (criticisms which reflect on the petitioner,) just so you know." How do you respond.

Person 1: "I listen with an open mind and try to see their perspective. I try not to take offense even if I feel the criticisms are unfair. I also use this opportunity to speak in a non-accusatory manner about my fears and doubts regarding getting back together."

Person 4: "I thought for a minute this spellwork worked! How DARE they have any doubt or criticize me! I finally tell them I clearly got my hopes up for nothing! Spells don't work AND my ex was just playing me. How convenient!" 

Guess who's the last one standing? Yeah, Person 1. Person 1 gets their ex back, they also have a healthier relationship. They have shown respectfulness and understanding, and can expect to enjoy a happier and more functional pairing than ever before. Person 4 blew it by decided the only way the spell is working is if they are blameless and the person is all over them like white on rice. That pessimistic sullenness eventually just makes them destroy the outcome. 

Now....what have we learned from this? That even with spellwork, you have work to do. You can't be rude, you can't be scary, and you can't be a basketcase. You need to understand that reconciliation will still require you to act appropriately, and be careful when trying to get back together with this person. So, don't give yourself to them without knowing they are yours. Don't boss and criticize them. Have an open mind, and keep the conversations constructive. 

This is why I tell you reconciliation can be hard work, as can love drawing work...because you need to have self-control and faith in the work too. That's a tall order for some people! I mean, in the above example, if person 4 was just slightly less pessimistic, they would have had all that they wanted, too...and hell, under better circumstances, Person 2 would be back together with their ex, too, but was, in this post intentionally put into a reconciliation scenario which required more caution for them to succeed (so you could learn.) This is a very STANDARD reconciliation scenario. It's neither the most difficult, nor the most easy manifestation, but an "average" process thereof which I have put together for you through years of doing reconciliation work. 

I want you to get back to good with your ex - but some of it will rely on you also taking the best steps to get there. If you need any advice on it, please let me know, because that's why I am here. Sometimes it's hard to know your next steps because you're so excited it's happening, or even a little sad it's not happening how you expected or is slower than expected. It's OK to have some doubt, but using caution and having some understanding should help you navigate the process just a bit easier!

EDITED TO ADD: A few people have asked "Does Person 1 even really exist!?" And as an actual person, all five were made up, so no, there is no particular identity of any. BUT, yes, plenty of people are very Person 1-ish...That said, you might be Person 1 in the first round, and turn into person 4 for a round, become person 2 in another, etc. It's perfectly normal and not necessarily even detrimental to be a, say, Person 4 in the first two rounds or something. It's OK. It happens. :)
