  • Long-Term Work vs Quick Workings in Love Matters

    Hi Occulties,

    Today I’d like to discuss a topic which I feel is under-served when it comes to educating people in how to get love spells (and, really, any type of relationship-type magic, so even friendship and family/home spellwork,) to come together right. Because we all want a quick and easy answer, but that’s not always the best (or even sometimes the workable) option.

    Let’s start by defining what I’m saying when I say Long-Term-Work or Quick-Workings as I am not defining this by the speed at which the spellwork manifests, albeit with long-term work, we are usually looking at a slower speed of manifestation. LONG-TERM-WORK is work that we will be performing on multiple days, usually for at least a week, whereas QUICK-WORKINGS are spells performed only once on a single day. LONG-TERM-WORK can also mean MULTIPLE-WORKINGS OVER MULTIPLE-DAYS AND WEEKS or even regular-workings, suchas a sweet jar that is worked on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays of every week until the desired end is achieved.

    BOTH kinds of workings can be effective, but often when we have a very complex situation, especially one which has accrued a lot of damage over a period of time, we can’t just assume one fast and easy spell is a magical cure-all that will erase weeks, months, even sometimes years of damage. Also, sometimes a great deal of damage is done in a very brief window, so how long the situation has been falling apart may not really determine the amount of spellwork needed. What we need to keep in mind is the complexity of the issue, and the amount of damage, with length of time the issue has existed as being a secondary thought.

    Let me give an example: A couple finds out that they are expecting a child when the relationship is already on shaky ground. They do love each other, but were already in a bad place when the pregnancy was discovered – but as they have been together for 2 years already, they decide to try to work on things and to have the child together. Unfortunately the pregnancy is not an easy one, and the mother-to-be is often on edge, and unpleasant and defensive towards the father. She is often sarcastic and puts him down. In turn, he begins to feel contempt for her as he struggles to support them. When the baby is born, the stress of caring for an infant who cries every few hours sends the couple over the edge, and they break up shortly after the birth. Within a few weeks, they both regret the decision, but both remember the relationship was in a bad place before the pregnancy. If one wants to repair this situation, how would we go about that?

    Okay, for starters both sides are showing contempt. This is a very toxic thing to appear in any relationship. It will eat it from the inside out. Also, while I can certainly sympathize with how stressful it is for any woman to carry a child, the mother of the child has been very cruel and unkind to her partner for months – and notice, I say in my example, she lashes out at him for her feeling ill and stressed, not because he was being a knob (which I’m sure he occasionally was,) – which that’s a lot of damage to accrue. Humans often do not recognize the weight of our own actions on others.

    So there’s a lot of damage here. If I just cast a quick reconciliation spell, that’s a bit like throwing a bandage on a broken leg. It might repair some of the damage (certainly bandages would help on the surface,) but the wounds here go pretty deep. We would almost definitely need to do multiple workings, – love drawing, communication, and, yes, long-term reconciliation and healing work. See, you need to view this relationship like a living thing. This is something which has been battered and bruised and nearly killed. It needs a lot of attention if we are going to be able to help it to survive and, perhaps, even thrive in the future.

    Let’s try another example: A couple have been together for about 3 months. One of them begins to feel a bit panicked – she wasn’t ready to get into a real commitment, and she just feels smothered and unready, so she tells her partner she wants to end things, that it isn’t the right time, and she doesn’t want a commitment. Her partner isn’t ready to end things. How do we save this relationship?

    This is the perfect opportunity for you to do a quick working. It’s very natural for people to panic around the end of what I term “the honeymoon phase” – when the veneer of infatuation starts to wear off, and that high of newness begins to come down, it is very normal to have more arguments or even have one of you break things off. That doesn’t make it hurt any less if someone does try to end things around this time. First and foremost, if you are the party seeking to reunite, please follow these instructions before you even cast a spell: DO NOT beg them to change their mind – you can say you don’t agree with that you should end things, but don’t make a scene if you can help yourself; DO NOT call them or text them relentlessly after they end things – try to go quiet; DO NOT ask mutual friends about them or talk to people who could and may report everything you say about them back to them. You will thank me later. 😉

    In this situation, I’d recommend some obsession work, return to me work, or love work. You probably won’t require anything more than a simple working performed just once, and the ex should reach out shortly. And why? There really isn’t a lot of damage here. Most of the hurt was the hurt one of you got from being rejected. There aren’t any major arguments, – just someone getting a bit nervous of commitment. It’s very normal. While the rejection may hurt, it doesn’t mean you can’t fix this situation pretty easily….unless you panic and put a lot of damage on by acting crazy when the other person said you should end it.

    DOES THIS MEAN ANY COMPLEX PROBLEM WILL NEED MULTIPLE WORKINGS? I would say the more damage there is, the more likely it is that the problem will best be fixed by multiple workings, but that doesn’t MANDATE that ALL complex problems are solved as such. Sometimes, this can even make the situation more difficult for the person working on the issue, especially if they are the petitioner (person for who the spells are cast on behalf of,) because they become even more attached and obsessed by the desired outcome, thus causing lust for results. I have worked with people who can barely manage having a single working done on their behalf without absolutely obsessing the damn work to death – and when they try getting longer term work done, they only become worse. So, in those cases, the quick working is probably better, at least in the sense that they may let the situation and obsession go faster so it might work. However, the BEST case scenario is that this type of petitioner wouldn’t know you were working on them at all (I guess making them more of a target than a petitioner,) as their anxiety and obsession is often so great that they derail any working done for them that they are knowledgeable about (and trust me, while this isn’t most petitioners, I’ve had occasion to meet a handful of people like this and this is an incredibly unhealthy level of anxiety and obsession, so probably you do not qualify as this person. I say this as I know I’ll get several people scared by saying there is a type of person that things often don’t work for, and they will be worried they are that type.) Further, many neophyte and casual spellcasters lack the dedication to continuously work the same spell. The amount of times I’ve heard someone couldn’t be bothered to do all the days in saying a novena of all things (a nine day prayer) is not small. And it is just that – they forgot, or it became “inconvenient” – and while that’s certainly not a professional worker saying those sorts of things, it’s important to be honest with yourself. If you’re only going to be able to do a working once or else you risk losing focus for the rest of the required days, a single spell worked over many days is probably not the best choice for you to try.

    BUT that doesn’t impede the….less-dedicated and the beginner from doing MULTIPLE WORKINGS on the same target (or towards the same end,) because long-term work on an issue can mean using multiple one night spells on the same issue. Instead of dedicating yourself to working the same spell for, say, seven days (which really does strengthen that spell a great deal,) you could, for example, do several simple candle spells over the course of several weeks. This actually is very common for beginners to use this method, and with very good results. No one said you have to take on more than you are ready for if you haven’t come to the point in your own spellcasting journey where you are comfortable with more grandiose workings or long term workings. So, don’t think you need to wait for that single spell to manifest before you start another working on the issue. I personally find that doing a few workings on the same target often creates a faster and stronger result. So, even beginners can do long term work merely by doing several spells on the same issue without needing to know how to do more advanced work, and get a good result.

    Let’s be realistic – many problems, when it comes to love, ARE NOT SIMPLE. We accrued that damage over a long time, or we made a lot of damage (and pretty bad damage,) in a short time (or even both.) So, most of the time, when we work a love issue, it’s not going to be a quick fix, but that doesn’t make it impossible.

    As I often say, you need to approach this much like a medical issue. If I show up with multiple traumatic injuries to my body, you can’t just set my leg, or just stitch one of many wounds closed, then ignore all the other issues, and say I’m all fixed up, can you? You need to treat the whole person. And with love magic, we need to treat the whole problem if we can. If we leave part of it to heal or change on it’s own, that may work out for us, or it may derail results. So when we choose cheap, quick, and/or fast work and only attend to one small area, – either for budget restraints, or perhaps the hubris of the novice caster, we often don’t get the desired result…and this is why I recommend long term spellwork in many cases when it comes to love.

    Certainly not all cases – because we also can overcomplicate an issue when our emotions are involved, – and sometimes you just need a little nudge to set things back on course to where you want them to be again. BUT, realistically, if it’s a very damaged, broken situation, you may need long term work.

    I hope that was educational. Love spellwork coming in shortly. 🙂

    There will be questions, so please ask!

  • Questions You’ve Asked Me: Happy To Be Back edition

    Hey Occulties,

    It’s been SOOOO long since I posted a QYAM, that I really needed to get one out. I’ve been working on a few spell posts, but this one is definitely overdue. Remember, these questions sometimes come from multiple people repeatedly (thus why they can seem repetitive as it means I need to review the things I say all the time on here OVER AND OVER….especially since it’s hard to access the archives at this writing,) and sometimes are the product of a specific person asking insightful questions. Whichever the case, it makes for good reading. 😉 So let’s begin!

    Q: Recently I began dating a guy I have known for a long time, and who had, at least by what he told me, semi-recently broken up with a girl who I have heard rumors was a witch. We never stop arguing – which it has been that way since we made it official (we got on so well when we were casual), and people are telling me they see them together out and about – is there any way I can tell if I was duped into being the side piece or if this is her using magic?

    A: I mean, as a spellcaster, there’s always an element of FAFO (fuck around and find out) that can quickly come into play if you step on anyone who spellcast’s toes…even if you DID NOT actually and/or intentionally do so. This means, if this guy ended the relationship with her and then bolted out and immediately started one with you….then it looks like what it looks like to her. It doesn’t matter that technically he was single there. If she thinks you’re an interloper, she will act accordingly. AND the reality is he probably was seeing you and her at the same time. People are pretty gross. I’ve worked for the public for over 20 years and been alive much longer than that, and frankly, the chances are he threw her under the bus after he started seeing you…

    Which brings up the next part…there’s a much stronger chance he never threw her under that bus AT ALL, as in you are the side ho. That’s no bueno. :-/ Why do I say this? He would not be in contact with or seeing his ex with enough frequency for this to get back to you otherwise (excluding child custody stuff or sorting out belongings). There are all sorts of behaviors which can clue you in to if someone is leading you on. Is he suspiciously absent from convos for long stretches of time (especially when you know he isn’t working) when he’s always on his phone when he’s with you? Does he avoid conversation about her or become defensive? Does he hide who just called or texted? These are all red flags that you may be the side piece or he has a side piece. By default, you are side piece if she came first, even if they got back together right after he “made it official” with you.

    BUT, let’s say for the sake of argument, he did end things with her before taking up with you. Let’s say he totally cut it off and had every intention of doing this above the board. It’s just he forgot one thing. He was with a spellcaster, and if she wasn’t done, the likelihood of letting him go and be with someone else when he broke up with her to be with that someone else is low.

    I’m going to break in here and say there’s a fair amount of dudes I’ve dated who we broke up, and I still did care very much, was sorry they felt it was not working, but they were right that it wouldn’t work, and I’m sure a few of them flatter themselves into thinking I worked on them when I did not. So it’s not a guarantee that someone will work on you if you initiate a break up, not even if they cast spells all the time. I hear this a lot at my job that an ex knows magic, and that doesn’t mean they will use it to bring a person back. Like sometimes things don’t work out, and sometimes one of you carries a torch around for awhile after it did not work out. But if it was over before you came into the picture, that isn’t a guarantee he has some crazy ex he left months ago hanging over an altar. 😉

    HOWEVER, when it comes to cheating on a spellcaster, that spellcaster so often messes up one or both in the cheating party for that action. I’ve heard and read so many people who teach spellcasting or are known occultists that said oh no they would not bother with working some cheating ex – either cursing them or bringing them back – and like…stop putting on airs, and you are lying, frfr.

    That said, you need to do spellwork on this man to make him tell you the truth. It is valuable to know if he’s been leading you on and seeing you both, if he never really broke things off (or broke things off for a week and went back – that still makes you the side piece unfortunately,) and if she or someone else is in the picture. Once you have a clear picture of what is going on, move forward from there.

    I’d be less concerned if she is a witchy type right now, and more concerned with that. Why? If this man is lying to you and leading you on and seeing you both, he already voted himself out. That she would act to protect her relationship is valid, that she might come after you is as well, but if you exit the picture, the chances are that any work she is doing on you will dissipate. You can start the uncrossing work immediately – even before you decide if you are planning on ending things with him or if you are not planning on breaking it off, – but trust and know as long as you exist in his life, the chances of her taking her proverbial boot off of your neck are next to zero if he cheated to be with you and/or is still with her. So, do the uncrossing work, but also make him tell the truth.

    THERE IS A POSITIVE HERE: I have had folks come to me with similar problems where it was really just their anxiety and no one was trying to destroy the relationship between them, nor was anyone lying to them and stepping out on them. Do that truth work, do that uncrossing work, and you may very well realize you are just being insecure, and you have some friends who like to gossip about stupid stuff. That happens a fair amount too. 😉 Uncrossing can only help, and the TRUTH sounds like what you need most here.

    A reading may also help, but you specifically asked for magic. 🙂

    Q: Is there a way to curse my home so anyone who lives there after me won’t stay?

    A: I can’t recommend opening up a portal and leaving a demonic being in there enough. As it grows in power and strength, it will basically create such a nightmare for anyone who stays that you won’t find too many people willing to stay very long. Make sure to keep the demon anchored to the home and not capable of leaving it, so it doesn’t follow you.

    Q: How do I know which way to anoint my candles? You generally say “UP” but then not always? And what if it’s not a taper or shaped so there is an “up?”

    A: My rule is basically that with taper candles or even many figural candles (surely some of you recall my video some time ago on how to make a d*ck cursing candle, haha,) that you will anoint a candle UP (base to wick) to draw an outcome to you or bring a condition upon you (or the petitioner, or target, as the case may be), and DOWN (wick to base,) to remove a condition or draw it off of/away from you.

    For jar (glass encased) candles, I make three holes and add the oils clockwise to grow or draw an influence to myself or my target, and counterclockwise to remove or draw away an influence.

    For tea lights and similar-shaped candles, one would add the oil and stroke it clockwise to draw an influence to you (or the target) or to increase it’s power; and counterclockwise to do remove a thing, lessen it’s influence, or decrease it’s power.

    Q: Do you feel anything when you cast a spell? Like can you pick up what the target/s feel or are thinking?

    A: I can only speak for myself, of course, but I do have a sense of my target or targets, or my petitioner if it’s more like…say, roadopening. It’s not exactly like doing a reading or anything like that detailed. It’s a bit more like knowing how someone feels by observing how they are standing and holding themselves. It isn’t really visual in that sense, but it’s about that level of information. So, I’m not likely to hear distinct thoughts or have a super accurate reading of how these people are feeling, which I get this question a lot with love-related workings, probably because someone wants me to give them a mini read on the situation more than anything else.

    Instead if they are very objectionable to the influences I’m sending, I may get some pushback, and I can feel that, but rarely is it anything where I have any distinct idea of WHY, which is what you probably want to know. For that, I need to do a reading. I might get a sense of fear, or of anger, but it isn’t distinct in the sense of me knowing exactly the reaction. Like I said, the level of information is akin to being able to tell how someone feels by seeing the expression on their face and their body language. It’s not like having a conversation with them.

    It’s actually one of my least favorite questions, as all too often it’s a desperate attempt to get information best extracted during a psychic reading, and then getting mad at me for giving you an honest response (this is honestly how it goes – I do not have those very finite details when working on someone that I can get via a reading! And there’s a reason readings are so exhausting to me – because pulling out those details takes a different kind of focus and a fair amount of energy is expended which would be counterproductive if I expended that energy during spellwork just to find out if someone is still mad at you for calling them a name or forgetting their birthday, etc. rather than directing the energy to make the desired changes.)

    So….while I definitely appreciate genuine curiosity, any information I give you regarding what I pick up isn’t detailed like a reading, and should not be expected to be (because people will grill me and press me on that,) but yes, I do have a sense of the people I’m working on and can make loose observations while casting, definitely.

    Q: What’s your favorite picture you ever took of your spellwork?

    A: Currently it’s this one:

    The image is from 2024, and for a pretty intense break up working.

    I still really find this one impressive, – the candle is shaped like a heart, and it has what looks like something crawling out of it. You might see the “hand” on one side, but then there’s also what looks like another hand crawling out onto the jar lid. I can’t really impart too much info on the work for business reasons, but I can say that this case where one target was someone who had to be one of the more malicious and possibly sociopathic people I’ve worked on. I often wonder what exactly was crawling out of that heart to get away. Even though it’s taken on my shoddy iPhone 8, it’s still a favorite of mine. I don’t photograph everything I do, – not even close, – but in this case, it was visually stunning enough that I shot several photos.

    Alright that’s it for now, kids!

  • Casino Charm for Luck in Gambling

    Hey Occulties,

    Before I get to the working, I did want to thank 95% of the people who I worked for during quite possibly one of the most stressful moves of my life. 😛 You were all wonderful, and understanding, even when we had to do things like readings at weird non-business hours, so I’d like to thank you for meeting me part of the way, and putting up with the nearly constant disruption and bs I had every day (I was apparently urged to move in fast to take care of the utilities and not because this place was so move in ready, lol,) for about 2 weeks. It was not seamless, and I was definitely more of a stress-case than normal, but I will say, it’s made so many of my curses hit fast for those two weeks, that it was kind of worth it for that, ha ha. I would say the worst is finally behind us, so thank you. 🙂

    So, if you find yourself in need of a bit of extra luck while playing games of chance (or some skill if you’re playing some card games,) the following can give you a better chance at winning. 🙂

    This is an incredibly easy charm to make with a few tools!

    You will need:
    A “buckeye” nut (in the shell)
    Irish moss flakes
    Alkanet root powder
    Lucky Hand Oil OR Red Fast Luck oil
    A drill (a Dremel style is probably easiest but anything to drill into that nut works)
    Wood putty
    Gold paint (I recommend a gold paint pen)
    A small purple cloth bag with a draw-string closure (the kind you get with a bottle of Crown Royal works just fine, – making an even smaller one by hand works just fine as well)
    A small funnel

    Increase your odds of winning!
    Photo credit: Anna Shvets on Pexels.com

    This spell is best done on a Wednesday, during a waxing moon, in the hour of the Sun, and when Mercury IS NOT retrograde. If none of that makes any sense to you (not uncommon when you’re a beginner,) just try create this item on the Wednesday that falls AFTER the New (not full but black) Moon.

    Combine about a half a teaspoon each of powdered alkanet and Irish moss flakes together in a small bowl. Alkanet is often used as a DYE, so please be careful with the powder. You will not want to get it on any fabrics. Place your power hand (generally the right hand, though about a quarter to a third of left handed people find this is the left hand,) so the palm is over the bowl, and see gold, violet, and light blue energy come through the palm and into the herb mixture, while keeping an image of yourself (or who the charm is for,) winning big. Say “Money in my pocket, money come to me,” five times while envisioning this.

    Use your drill to make a small hole in the buckeye nut, on the side opposite of the whitish area. Using your funnel, pour some of your herb mixture into the hole, saying “Money in my pocket, money come to me,” five times as you do so. Now pour a few drops of your oil into the hole, again saying “Money in my pocket, money come to me,” five times.

    Seal the hole, and allow the wood putty to harden. As you should not need to use much, it should not take very long to do so. Paint the buckeye gold, and once the paint is set (again, with a paint pen, this should not take long, – I keep the mental image of money flying towards me and sticking to the buckeye as I paint,) hold this item in your power hand and close to your mouth, and speak the following as if whispering to the buckeye: “Spirit of the buckeye, awake, and bring luck to me this very moment, now, now” and knock it three times lightly on any surface. Bring it close to your mouth again, and say “Spirit of the buckeye, awake, and draw money to me this very moment, now, now,” then knock this lightly three times on any surface. Once more draw the buckeye to your mouth, and say “Spirit of the buckeye, awaken now-” knock it three times on any surface, and bring back to your mouth, “and draw to me luck and money, this very moment, now, now! As is my will, so be it!” Place this in your purple bag, and anoint the bag lightly with the oil. Keep this in your purse or pocket while playing games of chance or card games, and “feed” it by adding a few drops of oil in before any outing to go play at cards or games of chance thereafter.

    There will be questions, so please ask!

  • Gambling Spellwork – How It Works

    Hi Occulties,

    Special thanks to a long-time reader who asked if I’m “finally out of [my] really-depressed angry phase” because my writing was “kind of crappy.” That actually cracked me up, and I appreciate the (very-astute) criticism. I’d like to think I am…but it was a long “phase” (I was genuinely traumatized by a lot of genuinely traumatic things, living through some life-changing stuffs, and I don’t get sad I get mad,) and I am cleaning up the archives over the next few months (no short task,) so I hope to be less “crappy” in attitude, and with less “crappy” archives showing off my displeasure of living through a very crappy year or two, haha. I appreciate the candor, though. Yes, I also see that in some of my writing, and I’ll be cleaning it up, I promise. Plus, I’ve been a public figure for 22 years, and you can definitely go back to times in this blog where I’m all sunshine and happiness in the meanwhile. 😉

    Moving on, today I’d like to discuss something very quickly – it’s basically about money spellwork vs gambling spellwork, and why I am not a billionaire by playing Powerball.

    In fact, please do not ever trust any online spellcaster who promises lottery winnings. If the odds of winning are as bad as they are (and they are terrible) you should never ever expect a spell to make the odds favorable enough for you to risk your last bits of money on Powerball or MegaMillions or any large lottery in your state or country.

    That said, I don’t discourage you from playing the lottery, so long as you are not causing yourself financial distress by so doing. I buy a few tickets every time the jackpot gets big enough, because I figure I’ve led a lifestyle where the odds of certain things happening to me were probably as low as the odds of winning Powerball, and yet these things did actually happen, so there’s certainly the possibility that I will one day be “cursed” (I’ve heard it can be more damaging than good for you,) with multimillions of dollars or even a billion dollars.

    When you're "cursed" by winning the lottery!
    Pictured: When you’re “cursed” by winning the lottery! Photo credit: Pixabay on Pexels.com

    But when we cast money spells, we generally are not casting GAMBLING SPELLS, and lottery (including scratch tickets,) are not going to be affected for the most part if you cast a money drawing spell.

    I understand we all want EASY MONEY. And you are not without magical means to gather it…it’s just that you will want a GAMBLING SPELL, and you will want to likely play something with a little skill involved if possible to gather the greatest amount of money. If you’re planning a trip to the casino, gambling spellwork makes wins at the blackjack table a lot more likely. It may even improve your odds on things with less than awesome odds, like the slot machines.

    BUT…not everyone lives near a casino, nor is everyone interested in spending time in one. Can this type of spellwork be used on lottery? Of course, but you will want to focus on scratch tickets, and even then….the jackpot prize on these tickets may remain elusive. This is why I strongly caution you against any spellcaster who claims they can get you large winnings playing the lottery – because even if you have a 1 in 4 (the most common win ratio on scratch off tickets in the USA) chance of winning, that is for winning ANY prize. I have bought a $20 scratch-off ticket and won $5! That’s not even technically a win! (I wasn’t using spellwork, it’s just a memory that still ticks me off years later, haha.)

    So, how do we approach gambling spellwork for the win?

    *Try to limit yourself to games of skill where possible. Games like slot machines are less likely to pay out. You want the best odds of a win if you were not using spellwork (because gambling spellwork improves your odds of winning.)

    *If playing lottery, restrict yourself to scratch tickets.

    *Do not expect large jackpot prizes with incredibly low odds of winning a large sum (be prepared to take home smaller prizes) – with gambling, you rarely will even triple your bet, so if you MUST play lottery, play scratch tickets and do not expect a jackpot.

    *If you choose to bet on horses or sports games, gambling spellwork can be…meh. Unfortunately in those scenarios, I find that betting on the skills of others (not your own skills) has only so-so results. I would stick to playing games of skill.

    Already downtrodden? :/ Yeah, so historically, we see Hoodoo used most often for playing the “numbers game” (pick 4 and pick 3 of today, which was not a huge jackpot ever, really,) and for games like blackjack and poker. I’ve no doubt it was used also for Bingo and raffles and so forth…even craps (dice) and all sorts of other games which had an element of chance as well as often skill, but the stories I know with the most successful drawing of money in a gambling scenario are often small payout games of luck (which often disappoint as they are too often a few double or triple the cost of the ticket payouts,) or if used before someone goes to the casino they do tend to bring in a bit of money, especially with card games.

    We do have professional poker players in this day and age, but 150 years ago, we had even more. Gambling was a big deal, and rootworkers of the day did make us many many gambling spells and charms which are performed and made today – but this isn’t as popular as a profession as it once was. Today, most average folks benefit from money-drawing work (not gambling work) and very rarely actually gamble.

    Money drawing work is often far more satisfactory when it comes to needing money in large amounts and in a more steady and reliable manner. It may manifest as a higher paying job, a raise, your buddy paying back that debt he or she owes, etc – but DO NOT waste your time on gambling and expecting better outcomes so doing if you used money-drawing work. They are negligibly related. And do not use gambling work if you’re shooting for a one in 356 trillion chance of winning that jackpot and nothing else will do. a 75 in 356 trillion chance is upping your odds way up, while still being absolutely terrible. 😉

    Alright, let’s try to get a gambling spell up for you. I think that’s enough lectures for one day, ha ha. Contact me if you need me. 🙂

  • Personal Update 1/15/26

    Hey Occulties,

    I realize I sort of flew off the radar for a few months. If I’m being fair, the combination of “discount laptop,” combined with using the formatting nightmare which is wordpress and added to my regular behind the scenes crazy life (I only ever wanted a normal life, but God had other plans,) made the perfect stew for me to just…not want to deal with that which I’m not paid to deal with which most definitely is this blog. In fact, I pay to have a blog, a fact made all the more infuriating when I can’t format the SOB.

    Additionally, people came to me absolutely distraught about the blog being gone from it’s home url of 21 years (glaring at you, TypePad,) and my constant having to repeat what had happened sort of furthered my own distress at it being such a fucking mess. Thanks to a lovely combination of adult ADHD (which means my neglecting the task created a massive shame spiral every time it was brought up to me, and therefore caused even more task avoidance,) and being constantly busy to the point that I’ve not had any time off in maybe a decade (including having to work full time through some hugely traumatic events a few years ago) which means I am always a bit burnt out (someone has to keep the lights on, though, and that someone is me,) meant it just kept getting pushed back.

    When you have 40-60 other people’s personal problems to deal with (yay, active cases,) in addition to your own, it’s really easy to just say “fuck it,” when your whole life’s work is being held hostage by a hosting platform that cannot be easily or understandably formatted…because it’s only hostage and not going anywhere, and someone needs to stalk their ex on some new platform and make an excuse for doing it, and I’m going to have to deal with that now anyhow (stalking your ex is very bad for reconciliation work, kids), as I am PAID to deal with that… Or at least this was my internal chatter for some time.

    Yeah, I know. If that sounds very impractical, welcome to my brain, lol. I put everything before my own needs (my business, my friends, my family, my pets,) to the point it’s detrimental, and then avoid tasks that if I just locked myself into to doing them would greatly benefit my life, but if it’s not PAYING ME, my obligation to pay it, my obligation to feed and water it, or married to me, I’m probably going to get around to it eventually which could be months from now. I seriously have put off calling the DMV for over a year now, because the wait is too long and they can just keep saying I live at the wrong address for all I care (but which has caused minor annoyances, lol,) to give you some idea. I legitimately need to wait on hold for a bit and correct an address but I probably will ignore that task until I need to renew, haha.

    Let me be fair, here, I’m not going to tell you all the things going on in my personal life, but while it’s less tumultuous than it has been, like I said above, it hasn’t been stress-free. We even tried to get a house and that’s a lot of headache and nonsense no matter how qualified. I honestly can’t imagine being a realtor because pressuring people to come up with hundreds of thousands of dollars in a very small window sounds absolutely batshit insane to me, but it clearly is not for those I dealt with… If you had told me someone would ask me to prove that I have a quarter of a million dollars in less than a day (I did not have this when asked for this, – I think I had a quarter of a thousand dollars in checking at that time, haha,) ever in my whole life, I would have thought you quite mad, but here we are. I do get it…really, but at the time it was a most bizarre and uncanny moment in my life. Like, girl, I’m wearing Shein and have half-inch roots right now, – do I look like my bank account is six digits?

    I did want to assure everyone that I am not dead, nor is my spouse, and we aren’t living in a cardboard box, or anything like that. I am not in a fetal ball curled in my closet, nor chronically or terminally ill. The blog can and will continue on. It will be fixed so you can navigate. I am always available through my website (OriginalNinjaCat.com) just click the contact button.

    We are now in year 22 of Cat’s Rants, and I want this to be an epic year of on topic posts…so let’s stop talking about me for the time being, and keep talking about spellcasting and the occult.

    I hope my personal update has helped as a few people apparently seriously believed me dead. 😛

  • Hey, Occulties,

    I apologize for the current appearance of my blog. It looks as though I will also have to go through and manually upload all of my topics to each post, a process that may take forever. The formatting here is completely bizarre, and I speak as a woman who has designed many websites…it also follows no intuitive pattern for something like a blog. Maybe something like a very bare-bones website creator, but not a blog creator. So….it’s going to be a few more weeks til anything is fully functional, but rest-assured that the blog in it’s entirety now exists on WordPress, albeit in a very difficult (even compared to TypePad’s old format) to maneuver around format at the moment. I realize my getting frustrated and depressed by this and ignoring my blog for a few months was not at all helpful.

    But let’s wander off the repetitive topic of “Cat doesn’t work well with WordPress,” for a moment, and move on to our favorite discussion – spells.

    So, a lot of you have been coming to me with issues that I’ve explained many times on this blog, which wouldn’t be a shocker, (if one does any business long enough, all frequently asked questions are really repetitive, lol) except that the bulk of my active business at the moment is with clients I’ve worked with many times over the last two decades…so it’s not the issues in the sense of “Cat bring my ex back,” which I see a lot, – it’s more like lust for results making the case drag, or actively working against the spell’s goals with bad actions, and stuff like that.

    And so, this inspired me to post about ROADOPENING, because one thing most of us can use when we get bogged down (and if my inbox is any indication, there’s a lot of people getting stuck in a rut,) this tends to really help move our situations forward, while also alleviating some of that anxiety, feeling of being stuck, and predisposition towards working against your own spells (which is usually brought on by frustration.) And I want to add that I’ve yet to ever see roadopening bring on a bad situation, but rather it opens a lot of pathways to positive changes that we didn’t realize had become closed off. People worry this is like a “burning by the sun,” where unhelpful situations are often painfully removed from our lives so we can move forward, and in my experience (and I’ve been through a couple “burning by the sun”s, which were HUGELY UNPLEASANT, and in one case I almost freaking died and lost my entire very expensive antique book collection,) roadopening does not include any nastiness like that experience can. So do not fear, this is a much more pleasant process. 🙂

    You will need to procure very few items as well… I recommend NOT going to many corner bodegas for your Roadopener oil, because all too often, that’s going to be mass produced garbage, and as I’ve told folks for a long time, no machine can competently produce condition oils, which must be handcrafted. At this writing, you will have one hell of a time locating my recipe but I do include a recipe which allows you to make this item yourself. Please look under “occult recipes” when I finally get this nightmare fixed up and navigable.

    I also recommend a golden or yellow orange colored candle, and some red sandalwood powder. Anoint your candle by placing a few drops of oil into your palm and rubbing your candle UP (base to wick,) 7 times using your power (writing) hand, and as you do so, in your mind’s eye, see your problems dissolving away, and try to send orange energy into that candle. Everyone cracks up when I say this but yes, like jerking off the candle (but with no downstroke, haha.) Also, it’s okay if you don’t feel like you can send energy. A lot of the time just visualizing that energy going into the candle is going to give enough energy to it to get things rolling. No one expects you to be a reiki master. Now roll your candle in the red sandalwood powder. Place this on your altar over an image of yourself, – you can be creative here. If you are having a hard time at work, you could place it over business card. If you are having difficulties with housing, you might place it over an image of where you are trying to live or your current home. But if you’re just stuck in a rut and feel stuck in multiple ways, just use a picture of yourself.

    Once you have done this, light the candle, and place your hands on either side, saying “I break all obstacles to good fortune and to happiness, and all blocks to my roads are cleared away,” five times, then say “(your full name)’s roads are opened and the blessings flow in freely! As is my will, so be it!”

    Now let the candle burn out. Super easy, amirite?

    Here’s the thing…you should do this frequently. Are you really stuck? Get a box of chime candles and repeat this daily. Do it weekly with a normal sized taper to keep things pretty clear. Or do it monthly using a larger or regular sized candle just to keep things flowing smoothly. There is no bad time to do roadopening. It can only help.

    Okay, I’m going to try to fix things up and also post a personal update. 😀

    Roads opened!
  • Hey Occulties,

    If you find out your spouse or partner is cheating on you, and you wish to remove the person they are cheating with as well as punish that person for their misdeeds, this spell is for you. If you ARE the other woman/man, this spell will not work for you. It doesn’t matter if you didn’t know your partner wasn’t free to give themselves to you and you fell in love, however, if you were (or your target was) 100% honestly in the dark about your partner not being single when they started seeing you/the target and never discovered you/they are the third party, it may not work on you/the target. This is for knowingly-guilty parties. This also works on the cheating partner if they are your chosen victim, with a few alterations, so long as you are the person your partner is cheating on NOT CHEATING WITH.

    It does require something not necessarily easy to obtain, but if the target has a certain personality disorder (as the type of person who knowingly sleeps with a married or not single person behind their partner’s back often do,) it is not nearly impossible to get. Bizarrely, many of this type often likes to brag or show off about being a homewrecker to the very person who’s home they are trying to (or have) wrecked, so they may even show up at your home to “inform you” all about how your beloved is theirs now – let them in and have coffee with them and try to get them to leave something behind (you cannot forcibly steal it). You need to get an article of clothing belonging to the target that is worn and unwashed. It’s impressive what you can get people to leave behind when they try to gloat about having slept with your partner (seriously, there are people like this, lol, and it’s disturbing how many clients tell me about this happening) and obviously if it’s your partner that you are punishing, they likely live with you, making this all the easier for you to sneak off with an article of worn or unwashed clothing, plus if you make up with your partner, they can get this item for you by trying to tell the “third party” they want to make up, and sneaking off with a sock or some underwear or something small. 

    Remember, punishing this person may be very well-deserved, but it only works when they KNOWINGLY tried to break up your relationship by being with your partner/cheating on you. 

    You will need:
    Dirt from a courthouse*
    Dirt from a police station
    Dirt from a prison or jail
    Dirt from 3 different crossroads
    Dirt from 3 different graves of people who died violently**
    A piece of worn, unwashed clothing from the intended victim
    A metal spoon 
    3 nails (preferably bigger than picture nails) and a hammer
    A can of any canned seafood
    A potato
    Red pepper flakes
    A plastic bag
    An item of your partner’s unwashed clothing (if they are not the target)
    A knife (If working on the third party, not working on your cheating partner)
    A bowl
    A needle and black thread
    Scissors
    Stagnant water (if you can’t find this, get water out of your toilet)
    Holy water
    Elmers glue or white glue and paintbrush (optional)
    27 pennies (or small unit change from your country)
    A chopstick or pushing tool (optional)

    Using your metal spoon, take one spoonful each from each place you must get dirt. When you go to the graveyard, enter in the manner described here in the previous spell and leave 9 pennies against the headstones of the graves you remove dirt from as payment. Place all of this dirt into a bowl and stir it together with your spoon. 

    It’s a stock image and not mine but I felt it was suitable 😬

    Fashion a doll from the item of clothing you have taken from your intended target and your black thread, folding the part which touched the target most to the INSIDE of the doll, and the part which touched them least to the OUTSIDE. For example you would want the INSIDE of the sock to be INSIDE the doll. Sometimes this item is a sweater or a scarf and it might confound a few people but fold it in half, stitch the doll, and do not cut the doll out yet, but leave an open hole at the top of the head, and then lightly paint the sweater or scarf on one side with Elmer’s, covering the whole front and to an area slightly outside your stitching, allowing to dry, and repeat on the other side with Elmer’s and allow to dry. DO NOT saturate the fabric, as you want the part that touched your target most to not be coated with this glue. This should prevent the doll from falling apart when you cut it out of the fabric. You may also paint the outside area outside of your stitches (and just outside of the stitches) if the item is a tighter knit and may “run” when cut to prevent these “runs.” If you wish to fashion a face on your doll, I recommend using a permanent marker. Some people like placing a name on the item, and if you choose to label it, place your target’s name across  the chest area of the doll. Make sure your doll can “spread it’s legs.”

    I like to envision my target as I stitch the doll, often repeating their name over and over, and telling them this doll is them over and over.

    Mix about 1/2 of the can of fish (even mini shrimp work, just old fashioned tuna, mackerel – the stinkier the better,) about half the potato which you must dice up small, and about 2 tablespoons of red pepper flakes into your dirt. For your ease you want about 1 part fish/potato/red pepper mix to 1 part of your dirt mix.

    Stuff this mixture into your doll to fill it and stitch closed. Using your scissors, trim any hanging threads. Dispose of any leftovers or threads and remove the trash from your property immediately.

    Place the doll on your altar, and baptize it with the stagnant water or toilet water, saying “I hereby baptize you (full name of target,) and that which is done to you is done to (name of target), – as is my will, so be it!” Place the doll into a plastic bag, and wrap this in your partner’s worn clothing if they are not the target. Go to any secluded spot where there are trees and where people rarely if ever wander. The more secluded and untresspassed upon, the better. Make sure you are not seen and no one is around.

    Open the clothing of your partner and expose the doll (leave it in it’s plastic bag though – avoid getting that fish juice on your partner’s clothing,) lying this on the ground before you and stand over it holding your knife in both hands and say “(Full name of target), here you lie, in adultery, in shame, exposed in front of all Gods and all spirits and living creatures, and every spirit of the dead – both damned and blessed – all beings see your every crime, especially your wanton and willful and treacherous pursuit of (name of partner or name of target, depending on who the doll represents), in defiance of all codes of righteousness. You, the most vile creature, the most wretched and disgusting being among men, proud in your debauchery, and hated and reviled by all of society for your crimes against it. Laughed at, mocked, rejected – the odor of your sins permeates you, and all know who and what you are and avoid you and mock you. I expose you to every being living or dead, and every soul and every spirit and every demon, and every god, (name of target,) and all see you for exactly what you are and every single being turns against you or turns it’s back on you!”

    Now, if you’re going after the partner, you are going to say the same thing, but obviously not on top of your partner’s clothing. You just take the doll out and lie it on the ground outside of it’s bag, and you skip this next step.

    Taking your knife, symbolically “cut” around and under the doll (as you lift it) and continue to “cut” as you say “(Name of target,) I remove any and all bonds you have to (partner’s name) and sever all bonds between you both permanently. I call upon all gods, all spirits, all the living and all the dead to defeat you and destroy you and to dissolve and remove any bond you (target’s name) have had or destroy any claim you have had, and to prevent any future bond between you (target’s name) and (partner’s name)!” and say this for a total of 9 times. Now toss the bag containing the doll away from you (not super far, you are going to fetch it, lol) and say “Depart from the lives of (your name) and (partner’s name) and I bar you (name of target) and repel you from our lives forevermore! (Target’s name), you abomination, your actions of turned away the protection of all gods, and spirits, and beings both living and dead, and even that of your guardian angel. You are are as desolate and abandoned and without holy or earthly aid forevermore! So be it!” Take your holy water, and sprinkle this over your partner’s clothing and yourself (and be sure to sprinkle it liberally and rinse your hands,) and say “Bless our holy union, bless and strengthen the union of (your name) and (partner name), I forgive your transgressions against me, (partner’s name), my only love, and call all gods, all spirits, and our guardian angels keep us close and keep away any who would ever try to separate us, as God has joined (your name) and (partner’s) name and no man/woman shall tear us asunder. From today and all days forward, I call upon all beings who would protect us to keep us safe from (target’s name) and any and all of the villainous and soulless creatures who act like (target’s name,) seeking only to tear apart homes and families for their own selfish whims.

    Taking your hammer and nails, turn your attention now to your doll. Remove the plastic bag, and taking a nail and your hammer, turn the doll so the head is facing down and nail the left leg to a tree as you say “(Full name of target), here you hang on display, in adultery, in shame, exposed in front of all Gods and all spirits and living creatures, and every spirit of the dead – both damned and blessed – all beings see your every crime, especially your wanton and willful and treacherous pursuit of (name of partner or name of target, depending on who the doll represents), in defiance of all codes of righteousness. You, the most vile creature, the most wretched and disgusting being among men, proud in your debauchery, and hated and reviled by all of society for your crimes against it. Laughed at, mocked, rejected – the odor of your sins permeates you, and all know who and what you are and avoid you and mock you. I expose you to every being living or dead, and every soul and every spirit and every demon, and every god, (name of target,) and all see you for exactly what you are and every single being turns against you or turns it’s back on you!”  three times. Now nail the right leg to the tree, making sure the legs are spread and say “(Full name of target), here you hang on display, in adultery, in shame, exposed in front of all Gods and all spirits and living creatures, and every spirit of the dead – both damned and blessed – all beings see your every crime, especially your wanton and willful and treacherous pursuit of (name of partner or name of target, depending on who the doll represents), in defiance of all codes of righteousness. You, the most vile creature, the most wretched and disgusting being among men, proud in your debauchery, and hated and reviled by all of society for your crimes against it. Laughed at, mocked, rejected – the odor of your sins permeates you, and all know who and what you are and avoid you and mock you. I expose you to every being living or dead, and every soul and every spirit and every demon, and every god, (name of target,) and all see you for exactly what you are and every single being turns against you or turns it’s back on you!”  three times. Now nail the heart area to the tree with the third nail and say”(Full name of target), here you hang on display, in adultery, in shame, exposed in front of all Gods and all spirits and living creatures, and every spirit of the dead – both damned and blessed – all beings see your every crime, especially your wanton and willful and treacherous pursuit of (name of partner or name of target, depending on who the doll represents), in defiance of all codes of righteousness. You, the most vile creature, the most wretched and disgusting being among men, proud in your debauchery, and hated and reviled by all of society for your crimes against it. Laughed at, mocked, rejected – the odor of your sins permeates you, and all know who and what you are and avoid you and mock you. I expose you to every being living or dead, and every soul and every spirit and every demon, and every god, (name of target,) and all see you for exactly what you are and every single being turns against you or turns it’s back on you!”  three times. Now, bang the head of your hammer (gently so as not to burst the doll) against the head and crotch of the doll over and over as you say “All turn upon you, all of your roads are closed. You may only beg for money – for I remove any employment or source of income from you. You may only freeze and be exposed to the elements – for I remove all housing and protection from you. You are pursued by lawmen and sheriffs and lawyers for any crime you commit and I remove the protection of any law from you! Oh, adulterer/adulteress, here you rot on your tree, that all know you by your stink and run from you. Abandon all hope, and burn in hell forever! As is my will – so be it!” Wash your hands and hammer in the holy water. Leave the area, taking your partner’s clothing (if applicable,) and other supplies, and leaving the doll nailed to the tree and do not return. The target will suffer a very long time, and will likely feel as though bugs are under the skin if and when maggots find that fish mixture. The stench of this rotting is so revolting, people will throw up if they smell it. What’s best is it gives your target a “spiritual stench” that repels people as if they were smelling this terrible stink in person. 

    I strongly recommend blessing your home and doing a cleansing spiritual bath when you return home after doing this work. I also recommend using reconciliation magic and protection magic on yourself and your partner if you wish to reconcile with them.

    As you are calling upon more than one righteous spirit, to whom adultery is a mortal (unforgivable) sin, (as homewrecking is a pretty big deal to a lot of them) the target will find themselves with a very difficult task of removing this curse…unless you are the one who cheated on your partner or cheated with someone’s partner knowingly, in which case DO NOT cast this spell as the curse will fall upon you and/or your lover. If you have EVER cheated on your partner, you should not use this. 

    This isn’t for people you SUSPECT might be sleeping with your partner. This is very nasty, and if you are unjust whatsoever in your aims, this curse can easily turn back on you. Be very careful calling on all of these spirits unless you are sure you are just in what you request. 

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

  • Graveyard Spell

    Hey Occulties,

    The following spell is generally used in matters of love, business, or of money. I know a few of you may try to use it for more nefarious reasons, and should you do so, be prepared if that goes south for you. Not all dead will help you in matters of adultery/cheating (assuming you are the one trying to be the third person or requesting a third person), revenge, or harming another. I also may not help you get yourself out of that pickle should you aggravate the dead, so don’t complain to me if you ask for something hugely awful and unethical and suddenly you got a shade following you about and causing you trouble. 

    Also, and I say this with any spell where you might hurt yourself or someone else, remember, there’s always something smarter and/or badder than yourself. If you plan to use this for nefarious reasons, the dead might not just come after you, but the person you chose to harm may do so as well. 

    You will need:
    9 coins of the same kind (preferably gold in color)*
    A hooded shirt, jacket, or large headscarf
    3 small bottles of whiskey
    3 cigars
    3 Roses
    A St Michael Archangel medal made in sterling silver
    A sterling silver neckchain

    So here is what you need to do:

    Find a cemetery, preferably an older one with tall stones, one that is not busy (that’s actually a thing,) and preferably one with around 200 dead or more at rest there. 
    Get 9 of the same coin, preferably golden in color, and have a hooded shirt or hooded jacket on, or something to cover the top of head and back of the neck area, and be wearing a silver st Michael archangel medal on a silver chain on your neck, and go to the graveyard. Dawn and dusk are the best times of you want to see a spirit (which may happen,) but midday is safest and the least scary. Don’t ever do this at night. 
    Knock three times at the cemetery gate and ask to be let in. Wait. You probably won’t hear an answer but unless you hear no or go away (it’s happened to people,) or get a very strong feeling of dread, say “thank you for having me as your guest,” and be sure your hood is on and go in. 
    Look for a grave. I find it’s best to choose one that you “feel” is going to help but any you choose will do. Knock on the headstone and whistle, then repeat again and one more time for a total of three times. Ask the person buried if they would bring you what you want. Wait, as if for an answer. Unless you hear something in the negative or get a strong feeling of dread, now tell the resident of the grave what you want, and plant three gold coins against the headstone, tell them this is payment for their help, and thank this person. 
    IMG_0233
    Repeat this with another grave, then a third for a total of three graves. Walk out of the graveyard without looking behind you the whole way home (obviously excluding if you really need to if you’re in a car, ha ha,) saying the prayer to St Michael:
    “St Michael Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection from wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do thou, o, Prince of the Heavenly Host, thrust into hell Satan, and all other evil spirits who wander the world, seeking the ruin and destruction of souls. Amen”
    Be sure to say it once before the gates, once while walking through, and once outside the gates. 
    As long as your request is not impossible, it should be granted shortly. 
    When it has been granted, return to the cemetery (do not wait more than 48 hours after the request has been granted, and do not waste time or make excuses – the sooner, the better), and again, be wearing a hooded shirt or jacket, or be covering your head and neck area, and be wearing your St Michael medal on a silver chain. Knock three times at the cemetery gate and ask to be let in. Again if you hear a negative answer or get a strong feeling of dread, do not go in, but if you don’t feel dread or get a negative answer, say “thank you for having me as your guest,” and go in. 
    Go to each grave you visited previously, and thank each resident for bringing you what you asked, and place a bottle of whiskey, a rose, and an unwrapped cigar on each of the graves you had visited previously. Leave without looking back while saying the St Michael prayer once before you reach the gates, once as you walk through, and once you are outside of the gates. Walk back to your home/car without looking behind you the whole way.

    As always if you have questions, please ask!

  • Q&A: Why Isn’t my Love Spell Working?

    Hey Occulties,

    If you’re a long time reader, you know I’ve written all about this before, and I’ve answered it in QYAM as well…but it’s a common enough question I get, and the fact that I have people willing to read an article and actually really learn something VS people who expect me to dress like a goth fairy princess while rapidly trying to educate in a stupid video (because they can only learn with videos and are only entertained by great spectacle,) means…I’m totally down with educating you, dear reader, and if you’re reading this, congratulations, because being a real student of the occult means you READ A LOT! It’s basically a huge requirement, seeing as these amazing things called books and scrolls (wherein so very much you need to know lies within,) were for centuries (even thousands of years in some cases,) the best way to store information and learn, so to this day REAL OCCULTISTS READ A LOT. We read all that ancient stuff, too! That means REAL SPELLCASTERS FCKN LOVE READING. 

    And if you’re here reading, you’re on the path to learning real magic. If you’re trying to become an expert by watching TikToks, you probably aren’t even casting real spells (I haven’t looked in awhile but several months ago, I still could not locate real spellcasting on there when I looked – hint, you can’t make shit up as you go along and looking witchy doesn’t make you a witch, anymore than if I dressed up like a doctor that I’d suddenly be one.)

    So, obviously “Why isn’t my love spell working?” is going to have a different answer as it is applied with many different situations behind it. Let’s go over the most common reasons someone’s asking why is this love spell not working. 

    You haven’t given it time to work! One of the most common reasons is that people do not give enough time for the spellwork to even START working. I’ve had clients who ask me why a spell hasn’t worked yet only to have me reply that since I am starting it tomorrow as I’ve told them, it couldn’t start working yet. 😉 The reality is that it is very rare for spellwork to have immediate results. I’ve had spells I’ve done for myself begin working 2 months after I’ve cast them, and I wasn’t a beginner when I cast the spell. It’s very common to have to wait a few weeks to START to see results, and to wait even longer for full results. When we deal with love situations, often when the spellwork does start to work, this is hidden from us as our target intentionally hides that these feelings are starting to stir until they can’t take it anymore.

    FWIW, I totally understand and can relate to how hard it is feeling like your life is falling apart, and not seeing the spell immediately change things to a situation where you are more comfortable and happy. I’ve been there, too. I’ve been a total emotional wreck, seeing my loved one behaving in a very unloving manner towards me, and wanting everything to go back to how I feel it should be. It’s a terrible situation for anyone. 

    But spells do not care about that you feel sad and scared and are anxious and your heart is broken, as spells do not have the capacity to empathize. So, your anxiety and need for this to change NOW NOW NOW is often your own undoing…and keep in mind, MOST relationships do not fall apart overnight even if it feels that way…and if they do explode overnight? It’s usually a hugely traumatic event that you can’t quickly heal from. Much like a broken bone takes time to heal, so do relationships. If it was slowly suffocated, it won’t heal quickly either. Think of the spell much like this….something healing like a broken bone does. Even if we want to dance, even if it means everything to us, until the bone heals, we cannot dance on that leg, and we have to be satisfied that we can dance again one day. A spell is like that – even if I want and need someone so badly right now and it feels so unfair to be deprived, I need to allow spellwork time to remedy that situation, and that may mean I will feel sad and anxious for a few weeks yet, but it means I won’t feel that way FOREVER. 

    So give it time. It will happen. And remind yourself this bad situation isn’t forever, and what you’re doing with spellwork is bringing you what you want, so you don’t have to feel like you’re doing nothing. YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING BY HAVING DONE SPELLWORK. 

    A new sweet jar getting its first candle!

    You are stalking the target or acting in a manner NOT CONDUCIVE to love or reconciliation! I shouldn’t have to say this, but stalking is a bad thing, and unfortunately with the rise of social media, it’s become way too easy…and it’s a bit addictive at times. I have gotten caught up in it before myself, becoming a downright little Sherlock much to the chagrin of my partner who had no idea how I knew who he just called (we shared a phone plan, lol) and guess what? It was bad for my relationship and my mental health. I literally had to tell my partner that I could not be trusted not to look at the call record and I had a problem and it really hurt our relationship for a few months. He’s a nice guy but he literally had to sit me down and tell me that spying on him like that was super weird and hurt him, and I had to admit to myself that it really was weird. What started out as me looking at a number on the calls list that looked familiar and reverse tracing it (it was a mutual friend so not even anything bad,) had become an obsession when he and I went through a relationship hiccup around the same time, where I was checking the call log every few minutes when he was gone, and it spiraled to honestly being that bad. I’m embarrassed to admit it but I did get to that point. I was definitely in the dog house for a little bit and needed some reconciliation work to smooth over the damage I’d done…and I didn’t spy on the phone list again, but the temptation was so strong to spy for months after. But it just goes to show you, anyone can get caught up in this sort of thing. 

    And I see it EVERY DAY, MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY at my job. Clients are snooping on insta and on LinkedIn – one person was even using AirBnB to spy. Seriously. You keep doing it because you feel like you are keeping abreast of the situation, maybe even that it gives you some sense of control, but it’s bad for your mental health (I’ve seen several people literally have mental breakdowns over things they saw on social media – and they invented a whole backstory about what was happening that wasn’t happening, only to discover they were wrong,) and it’s bad for the spellwork. It’s literally lust for results (see more about that below). 

    Now, like I said, I’ve been there before myself. That may be embarrassing to admit, but if it helps you to know you aren’t the only one and that it’s too common, I’m glad to admit – I’ve done it too! It’s not easy to force yourself to quit. But you need to. You need to stop spying and snooping on your target. They will be put off by what you’re doing if they ever discovered it, and it’s bad for you, and it’s bad for your spellwork even if you do not get discovered. Stop making excuses to yourself that you just happened to see x or y. I have heard all these excuses a million times, and no doubt if I were all addicted to stalking at this moment, I’d be saying them to myself as well.

    But we need to AVOID social media and stalking and spying while working on a love target. Failure to cease this sort of behavior will merely creep out your target, make you feel crazy, and stall your spell. 

    You half-assed your work with a spirit or saint (or have no relationship with that spirit or saint to begin with)! A few years ago, someone told me they wanted to work with Santisima Muerte, and I suggested they use a novena and gave them a link. They immediately came back to me and said “well, look, I don’t know if I can do this for 9 days, and plus it says I have to give her a candle every Tuesday for the rest of my natural life!” And I was like “Yeah, and you want to do that because there was a few Tuesdays where I couldn’t give her that and my life turned to shit for it, even though it was outside of my power to give the candles to her. Once she started getting her Tuesday candles again, I was good, though.” 

    That’s right…you work with Santa Muerte and it’s a lifetime you will work with her. I’ve heard the same with Pomba Gira. I work with many saints and spirits regularly, so this is not a problem for me, but if you just have a passing fancy with a certain someone, or if you think this is a one time working so you can get quick results, you’re very wrong. In fact, even if you give up on the person you love, if you committed yourself for life, you are expected to honor that commitment. I’ve seen people really mess up their lives when they thought it was perfectly fine to stop working with a spirit they promised a lifetime commitment to. In the best situations, the spirit just wouldn’t work with them again after they lapsed then returned asking for a new favor. In the worst situations, the spirit made their life crappy and took some revenge on them.

    Spellcasters spend our lives nurturing relationships with spirits of many kinds. That may be the Almighty, that may be a saint, that may be another kind of spirit. This is why we can get favors from them.

    If you just picked a spirit out using a google search or because you saw a fun tiktok, the likelihood of you getting any result from the spirit is quite low. I work with my spirits regularly. I give them offerings because I appreciate them and not always because I need or want something. So you are a stranger to them who has never had a relationship with them, and you want them to just fix your life for you? Rather grandiose request from a stranger, no?

    And the first words out of your mouth are nearly always a demand. Then you don’t want a long time or even a lifetime of dedication to this being because that’s inconvenient? Working with any spirit is not for you, then. Because it isn’t convenient or easy. It takes dedication, and commitment, and then you get results…amazing results, even, but it takes real commitment and work. It requires you invest a fair amount of time in as well.  

    You focused on reconciliation, but didn’t draw romantic love or physical passion back! When we want to reconcile someone, of course we want them to forgive us, and this is often imperative that they do forgive us for what we’ve done. Maybe we need to forgive them as well. So I don’t mean to say to not do reconciliation work. This is important! BUT…just because a person forgives you, it doesn’t mean they will want you back, and if the romantic love and chemistry has fizzled, you can’t expect that just forgiving your actions means that they will come back. 

    I forgive almost all of my exes. Second Mr NinjaCat maybe not, because he was and is a terrible human being (I hope you’re reading that, John,) who stole tens of thousands of dollars from me, and then would cry-laugh with these hours’ long Jesus rants that would make Jesus Christ himself want to never be called upon by someone like this. The rest of them? I can’t really think of anyone I hold anything against. 

    But I don’t want a single one of my exes back. So, as you can see, forgiveness does not equal getting back together. It’s sort of like I love a fair amount of people, and some of them I no longer speak to because they were toxic to me in some way, so I love them from a distance. They no longer have any priority in my life, but I wish them well and I remember them mostly fondly. Love doesn’t mean you carry on a relationship. 

    We need to remember that SPELLS ONLY DO WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO DO. So if I want to have reconciliation with a person – that is, if I want their forgiveness, – I need to also work towards love and sexual passion if I want to be sure that remains a part of the relationship. 

    You focused on lust but didn’t draw reconciliation and/or romantic love!For some reason I can only guess at, this is a problem many MALE spellcasters seem to fall into…(ahem, boys, looking at you,) and then wonder why their love workings fizzle out so damn fast.

    So let’s look at this in relationship repair first… I have dated some pretty hot dudes, and while I’m very much invested in the one I’m married to, if I were to find myself suddenly single and alone, there’s a small number of my exes I wouldn’t mind spending a night or two with. They certainly have held up well, and we never had a problem in the boudoir. THAT SAID, I wouldn’t want to date any of my exes again. So, if my ex was trying to repair a relationship, this wouldn’t be a working solution for him because while I might spend the weekend with him, I’d be on my way and no one’s girlfriend when the weekend ended. 

    And people need to understand that sex does not equal love. You can have sex with someone and they will enjoy it and enjoy your company for the time you spend with them, and then never feel one romantic feeling. 

    So clearly, lust magic is not going to be the key that opens the door to every reconciliation. And there’s another element here…lust magic is HOT. I don’t mean it’s a sexy fun time…I mean, if you’re arguing with your target or there’s some sort of anger between you, the lust magic can actually make you both angrier. It is neither calming nor healing, and can be harmful in some reconciliations. 

    But maybe you’re using lust to bring the love of someone new. Alright, the thing is, like I said, sex and love are not the same thing. You might make someone want your body, and that might open the door to a relationship, but it might just open the door to a situationship. So, if you find the affair is only sexual and you want your hearts entwined and not just your gonads entwined, you need to start using ROMANTIC LOVE spellwork. 

    You won’t take your mind off of the situation or spellwork! I have literally been saying this for over 20 years, to the point that complete strangers have quoted my work verbatim to me without realizing I was the author. Ahem. When we do spellwork we cannot obsess about the situation that we are working on, as this causes the spell energy to stall. We can’t ruminate over the situation, can’t worry on it, can’t make ourselves all anxious or panicky. 

    This is, of course, easier said than done, especially in matters of the heart. And I understand that. I have been a mess because my love life was a mess. I have totally been there, and pulling yourself out of that puddle is not easy. You’re worried, you’re scared, your heart feels like it’s been stomped on repeatedly, and you just want everything to be OK. 

    But it’s that very mindset that will be the spell’s undoing. You need to have faith the spell will work. You need to remind yourself you are doing what you need to do. That things are coming together even if you can’t see it from where you’re at. Then try to keep the situation, the spellwork, and thoughts of the people involved out of your mind as best you can. It will improve your mental health – and speed up your spell’s manifestation.

    You “put out” too fast! While this one is usually only a problem for the ladies (as sadly sexist as that may be,) please read above where I tell you sex and love are not the same thing…and as old-fashioned as it may sound, someone who gives themselves up quickly often finds themselves in a situationship and can’t get the target to come back to them completely (or settle into a relationship.) Why should the target take on that extra responsibility if you’re playing the part of girlfriend with having never demanded he give you the actual security by making you his girlfriend? (Or boyfriend…but like I said, this tends to fall on women most.)

    Remember, if your feelings are going to be hurt if that person just wants sex from you, you should not have sex with them. Think of it like that. If this sex means something to you, you need to be sure it means something to them as well, and that might mean not giving up the goods the moment someone drops you the cue that they would like to get to know you…in a horizontal way. 😉 

    I always tell people I’m not old-fashioned because I’m not. I know women enjoy sex. I know that we want it just as badly as men do, and sometimes not even because we like the guy as much as we like the look of him. 

    BUT, you know, the reason I caught all the players I caught in my web (and I always managed to pin down the ones no one else could,) was I was smart and made those men work for me. I could have given them everything I had right from the moment they gave me that look, but I did not. And the ladies who did give in to these types without hesitation were wham, bam, thank you ma’am, and he was off to the next one. But me? I held out and I was not a tease about it, and I’ve had long relationships with the very men who most people could barely get a few months out of. I’m married to like the ultimate boss of players even now. Ask him how long it took him to get me to agree to be with him (it was 2.5 months or so of him absolutely throwing himself at me and making all sorts of promises as I recall, lol,) and the funny thing was he was in love with me by the time I agreed to be his girl and give up the goods. So he never left. 

    So there is some wisdom in holding out. I don’t mean be an ice queen. I don’t mean be a tease. But save your first date fucks for guys you don’t care if you see them again. You might even build a relationship off of that – I’m just saying, you’re not playing the long game if you give in fast. 

    And yes, this applies to when you’re doing spellwork! If you give in easily, and you never make your target work at all, if you give him all the love and sex and dedication a girlfriend would give him, and do not demand he recognize you as his girlfriend, he’s going to take advantage of that situation and when things get tough, he will excuse himself with “but you were never my girlfriend, we were just friends” – even with spellwork! And then you will come to me all sad and ask me to bring him back, and I’ll have to repeat this whole thing I just wrote about not giving up the goodies so fast. 😉

    When it comes to reconciliation, you best make sure your ex wants more than just a roll in the hay. I know it’s tempting and I know you miss that person, but until you’re sure they want more than sex, you risk being used for sex. You aren’t empowering your position by dropping your undies….the power comes from making sure you have what you want before you do. Yeah, he’s gonna try, but tell him that as tempted as you are, if he’s really your friend, he needs to understand that if you have sex with him, your feelings get involved and you will be hurt if he doesn’t want more…which means, it would ruin your friendship. You are literally telling him “if we are just friends, you don’t get sex” but in a way where you don’t sound mean about it. If he wants you in his bed so very much, and that spellwork is already telling him he needs you, he’s going to eventually agree that you can try to have a real relationship again.

    You can make fun of me and you can call me old fashioned, but I’m still pretty hot and I wasn’t always a middle-aged married lady. I swear. 

    The spells are doing their work, but don’t undo their work by having hot pants, alright? Trust me here. 

    You were too shut down! On the other side of this, we have the person who is literally an angry cold fish type. The target comes to them all lovey and mooney and Juney, and they just…don’t know how to handle it. They shut down. They pull away.

    Now spells do exactly what you tell them to do…but this is scary for the target, too. Rejection is terrifying to most people, and so often – in reconciliation especially – the target is very cautious about approaching the petitioner, even if they are really feeling the influence of the spellwork. You need to be approachable and pleasant. If you’re cold and bitter, you’ll scare them off!

    It is working, you just have wrong expectations about how it should come together! When we cast a spell we put an order in for something specific, but we do not say how or why that thing comes to be (in fact, if you are overly controlling on how something manifests, good luck getting that spell to manifest.) Now, a fair amount of the time, it’s somewhat predictable how something will come together, but after 22 years of working for the public, and over 30 years of casting spells, I can assure you, sometimes things happen in a very….weird way. Not necessarily in a bad way, but not how you think they would have worked out so that you can get what you want. MOST people seem to be able to accept this, but some can’t. 

    All I can offer is that a spell will take the path of least resistance to manifest, unless you dictate SPECIFICALLY that it cannot manifest that way (for example, when we do money work, it’s wise to insist the money not come from a loved one passing away,) or unless you add EXTRA STEPS by insisting, for example, the target must reconcile with you by text and not in person. I don’t know why that matters, but some people are particularly stiff about this. It just delays manifestation, if the specifics are too specific it can even prevent manifestation, but if you can just relax and let the spell manifest what you want without dictating how it does so, you may be surprised by what the path of least resistance was to what you desired – and you’ll have what you want. Faster. 

    So, if the situation is changing for the better, but you thought it would happen another way, the spell IS working… My suggestion is to let go of controlling how it comes together, and enjoy the end result. 

    You give strength to your rival by fearing them and obsessing about them! I know this is crappy, but when we have a rival and we continually obsess on them, we keep them in our lives. That might be really difficult to reconcile when you have to keep an eye on this person (maybe some floozy won’t stop giving your guy the side-eye at his job, and you know she’s doing everything to get him to cheat even if he hasn’t yet, or maybe your girlfriend has that friend who keeps telling her you’re evil, and you don’t even know why they want to turn her against you!) for all the damage they are trying to do to your relationship…but eventually your attentions literally attach your rival even stronger to the whole situation. Like you just want to fling this person off the planet and onto Jupiter, and they won’t go away.

    In fact, more than one of my clients have independently come up with the very term I refer to this type of person by: “Cockroaches.” The person is literally like a cockroach infestation. Just when you think you’ve eradicated them from your life, a damn cockroach shows up again, which means the problem has totally come back. And so you treat the problem and it seems to go away…only for the damn cockroaches to come into your life again.

    When we continually work on this person magically, this can seem absolutely bizarre. Like sure, my rival’s life is an absolute piece of garbage and they don’t even live within a 6 hour drive, so why the hell are they still able to be involved with the people I know? (this specifically actually happened to a client of mine….anyone I despise sadly lives closer, ha ha.) Namely, you curse them, you move them out of the picture, and they still keep showing up!

    Your obsessive hatred of this person actually empowers them and keeps them close. In magic, the four basic tenets to success are To Know, To Dare, to Will, and To Keep Silent. It isn’t To Stalk, To Fear, To Obsess, and To Complain About Frequently. 😉 So, as much as you hate this person, you need to let it go.

    I know. I am not a fan of just letting some horrible human off the hook myself. But you are not letting them off the hook. You are putting them out of your mind as best you can to allow all that removal and cursing magic you did do its work.

    And that is exactly what you need to do. You are basically experiencing a form of lust for results which is empowering them, and keeping them attached to the situation, when you want to weaken and remove them.

    There are people who earned my enmity. I mean, they did not just earn it, they did a banner job of getting it and then ran around the block pounding their chest about how awesome they are for having me absolutely hate their guts level of earned it. And…since if you’re going to piss off a witch, then FAFO, and of course I responded as I would. In some cases, I was quite invested in seeing their downfall as fast as I possibly could. In others, it was that I sent the curse off, and just sort of moved on with my life. Guess which manifested faster? Guess which threw that person out of my life faster? Guess which fucked up someone the most? Yep, the one where I just cursed the shit out of them and moved on. And that doesn’t mean the person was always out of my life. In a few cases, they were very much still peripherally in my life as I had done nothing to send them away, only something to teach them a lesson…and then I totally shelved my anger at them and moved on…while witnessing the full scope of their life burning to cinders.

    So stop empowering your rivals and enemies, and let the spells do their work. Otherwise you’re going to have a case of “cockroaches,” and no one wants that.

    You chose a partner who was married or dating someone else, and they aren’t yours to have! Look, I don’t hold anyone who was lied to accountable for having dated a person who wasn’t free to love them back so long as they had zero knowledge of the spouse or boyfriend/girlfriend, and ended the partnership the moment they discovered the lie. You didn’t do anything wrong and that someone manipulated you to believe the union was between you and someone you thought was single is very cruel. However, if they are cheating on their spouse or partner to be with you, they will cheat on you, so you’re best to end the affair the moment that is discovered. 

    Unfortunately there are people who like sleeping with other people’s partners and those who think it’s acceptable to “steal” someone’s partner, and that never ends well. Don’t even tell me about Queen Camilla and Princess Di. It was Princess Diana who actually “stole” then Prince Charles from Camilla, and look how well Charles and Diana’s marriage worked out (it didn’t!) 

    And NO it’s not between your married/not single lover and his or her partner and not your business. If my husband told you that you could burn down my house and kill everyone inside and he’d give you some gasoline to do it, you would be held even more culpable than him in my death by the law. That’s because you’re a homewrecker, so you are quite the guilty party if you go through with breaking up someone’s relationship by trying to steal the partner away. You’re even worse than the not single person dating you, as that person might have reason to have a problem with the spouse or partner they are with….you are just destroying the life of someone who never wronged you. And why? Because you like sex? Because you think it makes you better to build your happiness on the destruction of others? 

    And it’s not just society that hates you and thinks you awful if you do this….spiritually this scars you as well, and limits your ability in spellwork. You are basically fighting the spouse/partner’s ancestors (and even possibly the cheating spouse/partner’s ancestors) who are going to try to protect their relationship and oppose your illicit one, especially if the couple shares children. Now, extra-marital children are not a new thing whatsoever, as history can attest, and making a baby with a partner that isn’t yours won’t help the situation…you will need to go to the graves of the ancestors (assuming you even know where they are, as people don’t stay in one place in our modern age,) and try to get them to take your side. You will have to explain HONESTLY (not with bizarre made up accusations,) how you are the better partner for your adulterous beloved than their original partner. It may not work, but if your adulterous/cheating beloved is truly beset by being paired with Satan or the worst possible person alive, you may succeed. I’ve heard of this working in situations where a woman is in a horribly abusive relationship, and cheating with another man who treats her well.

    I do realize that nothing is necessarily black and white, and that humans get into situations they probably should have avoided, but without having gotten to where they did realizing they were hurting anyone until it was “too late” and they’d fallen in love with a cheating partner, but the reality is….when you find out someone isn’t single, walk way. It’s the best thing for you to do for yourself. If you really feel like you can’t, then I understand why you would try but you leave them how you get them, and he or she will cheat on you too, so it’s not really going to be anything worth your while….but you still might try. So if you do try, find their ancestors, and try to work it out with them first. I’ve gone over this in past posts but you also need to NOT defame their partner, malign them, or put them down. It will only drag you down in the eyes of friends and family of the cheating partner. 

    I’m sure there will be questions – and I love questions! – so please contact me if you have any!

  • Hey Occulties,

    As Neptune and Mercury are retrograde, it is no surprise that as this happens, not only do your targets act differently, well, so are my clients and readers affected and some bad behaviors are on the rise, so it falls upon me to post to you about this….

    READINGS: For starters, I've never made any secret about believing psychic readings are an overused and overly invasive diagnostic tool. For those of you who have ever had a hard credit inquiry affect your credit score, think about this as a severe credit inquiry (that doesn't exist, but if it impacted your score 10x as much as a hard inquiry,) affecting your score…except your SPELL'S STRENGTH AND SPEED is that score. 😛 Does that not make sense? Let's say you have the very common condition of an evening of heartburn. Do you schedule a full colonoscopy and endoscopy the next morning? Because if you did, that testing is pretty invasive and hard on your body for something that probably requires a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to cure. 😛 BUT this is what reading a situation is like… You are "dinging" the energy flow, pulling it, manipulating it to bring up those answers. It isn't apt to kill the spell but I think we can agree that doing this a lot and over every little thing is going to create a problem and could affect the speed of manifestation. 

    And trust and know, there's very little overhead cost to providing you a reading. You are really paying me for the severe energy drain, and enduring the unpleasantness of the task (as it is often incredibly unpleasant to experience the emotions of people in the situations I am tasked to read,) and my expertise. If I were a less moral and more financially motivated person, I might over-recommend the practice to line my pockets. 

    However, despite my saying as much, people want me to read every little thing, and if it starts to become overwhelming and takes over the very limited time I have for readings for EVERYONE daily, plus begins to show evidence of you developing lust for results, I'm going to say something to protect your spellwork. 

    ALSO, it's abusive to ask free psychic reading questions. I get paid to do my job and I hope you do, too. If you frequently attempt this, I will point it out and ask you cease doing it immediately. 

    So, since there are going to be a lot of people making themselves a little crazy or having some crazy targets for some time to come, I want to remind you to please keep your manners (so no hasty reminders or blowing me up to try to annoy me to reply faster, and please keep your inquires to EMAIL as I do not appreciate being texted at 2am any more than anyone else does, haha,) and please try to keep everyone in mind. If you had a reading 3 days ago, you probably don't need another one right now. Another client might need one far more, and with my first come first serve policy, you taking all my reading spots might start creating issues for other clients. I will gently remind you that psychic addiction is real, and may decline to read for you if I feel you are starting to suffer from it. 

    If you frequently go over your paid time (example, paying for a half hour and keeping me on the phone for 90 minutes,) you will get banned from readings. I'm sorry but this is hugely abusive. 

    If you demand same day service repeatedly, I cannot comply with this most of the time and I will point out to you that it isn't okay to persistently suggest I reorganize my day to provide a reading for you. Kindly understand that not scheduling and just asking me to do something when I'm free is something that means I might be five days before I get to it. I don't have free time. I wake up at 5am, and am often working til I go to sleep. 

    CONTACT: Please contact me on my site email. The MISSCAT one is actually just a general junk inbox, and I check it maybe once a week or sometimes even longer between checks. If you are uncertain on what that site email is, use my contact form, but if you've been FIRED FOR BAD BEHAVIOR, don't contact me at all. Were you abusive, rude, and broke rules over and over, and didn't listen to me when I said over and over that you were breaching your contract, or when I asked repeatedly for you to correct a behavior? Did that end with me telling you I won't work for you and to get lost? Well, don't contact me again. Don't use the contact forms. Go away. I have so much business that the last thing I need is a poorly behaved person who was disrespectful of me and all my other clients with their execrable behavior and I assure you that if you were fired, that's exactly who you were because it takes a lot for me to tell you to kick rocks. 

    Of course, I get one person every 18 months or so that I have to fire. Most people do not get to a point that requires that. 

    For the 99% of people I work for who would never need such a lecture, PLEASE USE EMAIL TO CONTACT ME. DO NOT EXPECT RESPONSE FROM TEXTING ME. Outside of that, my beloved 99%, you are all wonderful folks and I'm glad to attend to any problem you might present me with.

    SPELLS: A lot of people forget that I work with 40-75 active cases at any given time, and rare is it that I am down to 40 active cases. So, when you frequently blow me up with updates or needing reassurance or to just use me to vent, that becomes very time consuming, and frankly, I don't get compensated for that time after a certain point. I basically make my prices such that you might get a few hours of my time in the sense of how long it takes me to read and respond to your situation outside of my materials cost and the time spent casting your spell. If you notice the drop in cost on my site (you can get more than 2x the spellwork for the same cost as 2 single spells,) this is because the amount of support (time spent counseling and speaking to the client with active spellwork in the manifestation stage,) actually is about the same in a single spellcasting case as it is to a standard 7 day spellcasting. So, if you are always messaging me every single thought, worry, feeling, or momentary distress, you are literally taking the time of 10-20 other clients. This means I can't take on other business and you are taking up the time of other paid business which I took on before or simultaneously to taking on your case. 

    MOST OF THE TIME this is new client jitters and it passes quickly enough that I won't say anything. However, if you are frequently taking up long periods of my time and with topics I've explained over and over or just to use me as a free dumping ground for every thought you have, I will talk with you once, and if it persists and you're lucky it will be twice….keep up after that with the bad behavior and you will be fired. I have provided a very extensive terms of service and client agreement and purchasing anything from my site means you agree to be bound to that agreement. Part of this is abusive contact behaviors, and I go over this at length. Feel free to review those pages or contact me if you are concerned you've crossed the line. 

    Please keep in mind, we put in the order for the end result, not how it gets from point A to point B. So, if you need to interfere with the spellwork or demand to have a concrete map of HOW IT WILL MANIFEST rather than just keeping focus on getting the end result, you are your own worst enemy. If your ex comes back because they were at a show and heard a song important to you both and it made him/her really miss you so they texted you to open a convo to get back together, versus if they came back doing cartwheels all the way up to your door with roses for you in their mouth because they are just so crazy in love with you (and possibly also crazy, haha)…well, the point being they came back. I didn't get to dictate how or why that happened for the most part, – my spellwork was for the end result to manifest, not to tell the universe HOW to make that manifest. You pay me for the end result. It could be for a thousand reasons that they decided to come back, but you spying on them on socials or through mutual accounts, and you trying to suss out what they are doing and thinking? That's all lust for results. You can have it on any type of spell, but love spells are where the worst offenders generally always show up. So we are at point A when you contact me. We discuss the desired outcome. I put in an order for that OUTCOME. Getting fussy and stalkery and constantly demanding to know why some (generally trivial) negative event occurred before the manifestation does? I've been where you are. I've seen this many times in work for others and myself. If you lack faith and don't calm yourself the manifestation phase is hard. Real hard. Been there, done that. Seen lots of people do it. First STOP SPYING ON SOCIAL MEDIA. Stay off social media even. It's irrelevant to real life. No I don't say that because I'm old. I enjoy social media, too. It's fun. BUT it is not real life and no I don't care if your generation feels like it is. If you're young enough to say that, I know exactly what you mean as there were some pretty important things to my generation when I was your age, many of which were and are just as irrelevant in the long term, so I do entirely understand. Social media is worse in a way. It's honestly been nothing but a decay on society, and I'm old enough to assure you that it's been nothing but a fucking blight (it definitely hasn't had any positive influence,) which I say even as much as I enjoy it too, so if you can't control your stalking, you get off of socials for a bit. You won't die. I promise. Now, you also need to keep your mind off the situation as much as possible. Don't try to go over the situation in your mind. Don't worry on it. Don't over think on it. When it comes to mind, you tell yourself, "I'm doing everything I can to repair this, good changes are on the way, and I don't need to worry anymore." Then try to put it out of mind. Keep doing this and eventually it gets easier. 

    Now, another thing we need to keep in mind is when we do love and/or reconciliation work on a target, we start resenting them if it takes awhile for making us put in so much effort! Well, from the target's perspective (and we must never tell them we used spellwork!) it doesn't seem like you're putting in effort. They don't know how much time or money you've invested. So, remember this before you get aggro at someone who's responding slower than you'd like.

    Lastly, I do not control the economy! If there is a hiring freeze or you aren't qualified for a better paying job and can only get jobs which don't pay enough, please do not blame myself or the spells. I will usually check this with the person requesting job or money work, but every once in awhile I get some people who play down expectations and then quickly become demanding and rude when they don't get paid a salary most of us never will be able to earn which they aren't qualified to receive within the next week.

    I ASSURE YOU, MOST PEOPLE DO NOT NEED THESE REMINDERS, IT IS THAT THOSE WHO DO NEED TO GET THESE REMINDERS FREQUENTLY. This is not one person who triggered this, but several and all of them doing the same handful of unhelpful things. Do not feel badly, as I would not single you out and blast you online…it took like three years to blast my stalker online and look how much she did before I did, lol. That should give you some idea how much bad behavior is required of someone. ;)
