A Bit of Advice!

Hi all,

While working on a really long article about correct action and proper frame of mind during and after spellcasting, I realized…this freaking article is a giant novel and most of you need some pointers NOW. I mean, to the level of its so needed NOW it was needed NOW a loooooooong time ago.

So, let’s do a brief review, and I’ll see if I can’t get a cool spellcrafty article up after this one…you know – like even one with pictures and everything. 😉

Let’s just briefly go over a few things we should all keep in mind while we are spellcasting and waiting for manifestation, kay?

*First, consider your state of mind!

Are you so freaked out you can’t even remember how to clip your toenails? Do you cry at the smell of cookies because they remind you of your ex? Are you so incredibly whacked by your situation as to be someone all your friends are avoiding because they’d rather stab themselves in the eye than listen to another 3 hours of how you miss so-and-so, and wish you hadn’t done this, or think so-and-so is thinking this, and etc.? If so, you’re hella freaked out and you need to calm down before anything is gettng done!

Listen, its normal to be upset, even completely blown away when a bad situation first occurs. Its normal to be stressed and anxious about money or a job when you’re hungry and can’t pay the bills. Its even normal to be so hurt by a situation that you are entertaining some really scary thoughts….but you need to learn some control, and until you are capable of control, you will likely have a difficult manifestation that takes forever, or you’ll shoot yourself in the foot before the spell can manifest, or our favorite thing ever, you’ll just think that little spell to death because you have to think and ponder and ponder and think on it so very much because you claim you “can’t help yourself.”

What? You can’t help yourself? BULL-PUCKY! You can, you just refuse to. Sorry to be the one to point that one out. 😉

You need to give yourself (at least) 3 days to CALM THE EFF DOWN, and when you feel like you’ve stabilized, then try casting the spell. If you’re past the three days of crazy period, ask yourself, “Is this helpful? Is crying and dwelling on the negative part of my situation in any way bringing anything positive to my situation?” And the answer is? No, it isn’t. :S So, just stop. I won’t tell you to get over it, but I will tell you to get over yourself – you aren’t the only person who’s ever had a bad time of things, and remember, the Universe rewards crybabies and complainers with more to cry and complain about, so you just keep it up if that’s what you want. You don’t want that? Well, then let’s wipe the tears off of our faces, straighten the wrinkles out of our clothing and try to go back to a semblance of normalcy.

If you aren’t ready to do that, then you grieve or panic til you’ve run that out of your system. When you’ve finished needlessly expending that nervous and freaked out energy that could be put to better use, please join the rest of the class. 😉

The rest of us I should hope are with a clearer mind, and are ready to fix a situation rather than obsess or complain about it. 🙂

*You may BELIEVE your state of mind is right, but are you LETTING GO of the situation?

Oh nuts and a pickle, did I just say Letting Go!? Oh, fork, now you’re all upset thinking I was saying “give it up.” Its not near to the same thing.

Let us learn how to LET GO of a situation, by first remembering that when you “give up” on something, you do let it go, but you do not always give up if you let go. What in the cheese danish am I speaking of? Well, see, letting go means that you put the PAST behind you, and focus on the present and future. You do not get wound up by the past, and you do not base your expectations of the present or future on the past event that has or had you so wound up. You don’t seek signs, and you just go about attending to the life you presently have without getting your nose in a twist. I think the Beatles said it right, when they said “Let it be.” That’s right, you just let that thing be, stop worrying at it, and it will have an answer, thank you Paul McCartney and your supposed channelling of your deceased mother for bringing us this information in a song. 🙂

Now if you GIVE UP, this means you don’t want something anymore. When you don’t want it, you generally stop caring about the events that led up to to the bad event, and you also stop caring about wanting the thing, how the thing will happen, and what that thing is doing, etc, because you don’t care anymore. To heck with that, you just don’t care.

BUT, a hard learned lesson (especially for love-spell casters,) is the time you gave up on a thing, and *poof* your spell manifested. Dang, you just learned if you LET IT GO before you GAVE UP, you would have had it when you wanted it. :S

Now, let us again absorb a song from Sir Paul McCartney, because he’s a bit more poetic than I… “There will be an answer, let it be.” Damn straight, Paul! While George Harrison is normally the right Beatle to seek out when you want answers about this sort of thing (yes, I know George is dead, but he left you lots of wisdom,) it is Paul on the money this time. My Beatlemania aside, let’s look at this… If there will be an answer to your problem if you just let it go (let it be,) and go on doing the best you can without picking, worrying, or dwelling on your problem, then why are you not letting it be!

Alrightey, I see the Beatle references confused a few of you. 😉 What I’m saying is drop your obsessing on the past, drop your fears you have, and let them go. Focus on the present, and do not be influenced by the past or give it thought. In essence, if a thing is not in your presence, you should focus on those things that are, and be satisfied with the idea that every situation does have more to it, but its not worth your worrying. If you’ve put that spell out to the Universe, go and involve yourself in those things in your present. Do not cling to when is so and so coming. Do not freak out about when will this manifest. Do not constantly worry about what happened and what will. Let that crap be! Let it go. Live in the now and just toss out your fears and attentions to the past for right now.

Then, I suspect you will have let it go, and the spell will work faster… a lot faster.

Try this – spellcast for a thing you could give 2 shingles and a hot poop about right now. Like…say, you have a friend who you’d had an argument with some months back, and though you’re not concerned about making up with them, you wouldn’t mind doing so. Do a reconcilation spell on the friendship, and then forget about it entirely. Stop thinking of it at all. Don’t look for signs and omens of it coming, and don’t give a flying twinkie if it comes to being. It will…and fast…once you’ve let it go.

Seriously, try it out. 😉

*When there is a problem, take a hard look at the source of the problem, and consider all options for that source, including yourself.

What? What did I say? You, have a problem? But you’re so very happy? Positive? Faithful?

You can be as happy and joyful as you’d like…if you’re thinking to death, picking at a situation, obsessing or not letting go, you have a problem. Take a hard look at yourself. Are you having a problem? Yeah, maybe? 😉 Alright, then take the opportunity to fix it now that you see that.

Also, what is this not taking responsibility for yourself thing? That’s a problem! Maybe YOU need to take a hard look at the fact that YOUR money spell isn’t working to pay your bills because when it brings money, you go blow all your money on stupid things and not your bills! OR, maybe that recon spell isn’t working because you are still too bitter about the break and keep scaring your ex off? Demanding proofs of love? Having expectations of others that are unrealistic? (like that you can be a huge jerk and they’ll still follow you around with big hopeful eyes, just cuz you cast a spell.)

Just have a think on it the next time you feel like blaming your spell, the Universe, or anyone other than yourself. You may be surprised who’s the cause of the problem.

*Being afraid of a spell is the same thing as saying you are afraid of what you want.

You have never cast a spell, so you’re scared it will hurt you, right? Oh-kay… That’s not a good start. Remember when you were little someone said “Don’t be afraid of that dog, or he’ll smell your fear,” and you thought “My fear is scented?” and were afraid of the dog, and the dog acted strange or aggressive? Yep…well, that’s because fear, while not entirely useless, is not a helpful thing in many situations.

Let’s reassure you with a few things here… There are a few nasty and mega-serious spells I’ve put up here on this blog, and I tell you “this is not a beginner spell,” and that its “not a nice spell, and will harm someone,” so if that is present in the article, then you might reconsider doing the spell.

Beyond that, everything I’ve offered is safe. Nothing will fly out of the candle and bite you. So long as you don’t EAT the ritual supplies, they are not going to hurt you, and if you keep your hands off of the hot things (fire, charcoal incense burners, etc,) you should be safe from injury. 😉

Approach the spell with will, and without fear. You want to be without fear while spellcasting, because you won’t be transmitting your energies properly, and you will get nervous, and that will make you more prone to mistakes. Instead, clear your mind, have courage in your heart, and cast that spell. 🙂

Fear has its own energy (yes, and even a smell,) and its nothing we wish to add to MOST spells. While it has its uses (if you can harness it you can send fear into your enemies, mwhahahahahaha, and if you can transmute its energy, even give you an added burst of strength of will in your spells,) most of the time its not helpful. While I don’t mean stand in front of a moving train and don’t fear for your life (of course you would,) most of the time that fear holds you back. Not speaking in a social situation because you are afraid of being judged means people are going to percieve you as stand-offish and unpleasant. Being afraid that if you tell someone you care, that they might laugh at you sometimes means you miss your chance to ever tell someone you care.

And yes, fearing dogs makes them act weird towards you. I have never feared a dog in my life. If it wanted to bite me it would even if I wasn’t scared. 😉 That’s why I get along with dogs.

BUT, fear has little to no place in spellcasting. If you are still scared to cast a spell and scared of the consequences if you do, you are not yet ready to cast a spell. Work on having courage and being fearless.

I do hope some of this is educational.
