Cat’s Rants: Confessions of an Occult Mastermind

Rationalizing why you did something to harm the spell or how you are somehow unaccountable for some action due to ignorance, mental fragility, or any other reason is not helpful. If you engage in this sort of thing, all you are doing is wasting your time. A spell is energy, and guess what? It doesn’t have any pity for you because you made a booboo or had a bad day.

All too often I hear this, so let’s do some examples…

Reconciliation “Well, I didn’t behave weird or act uncomfortable for the reason you theorized, actually it was that I’d eaten some nachos, and I wasn’t feeling so well, so (name some spell target here) may have seen my stabbing gut pains and immenent diarrhea as me acting uncomfortable, but its not like my not feeling well is my fault or that I should be in some form of trouble because I didn’t feel well. If (name some spell target here) can’t understand I was not feeling well despite the fact I never told him/her that I was about to explode in new and horrifying ways the moment I sat down on the toilet, then s/he really is just a jerk.”

Job spell: “I think its pretty unfair to say that I didn’t get that job through any fault of my own. I didn’t realize that my cat, Fluffy, who was just a mere 17 years old would need a kidney transplant, and she died anyhow. I mean, I did bring my cell along, but I couldn’t call in a timely manner because I was busy. If this effing job spell works so well, it would have extended the deadline for me to return Mr Employer’s call by at least a day, so I could have dealt with the loss of Fluffy. I knew the deadline, but I’m human and I forgot because I was busy trying to figure out Fluffy’s last wishes and she departed this earth only like a DAY before the deadline. So, whatever.”

Love: “While I realize its bad to spy on people, how would I know that (name of target) put something on his/her Facebook page that made him/her able to see how many times someone looked on his/her profile? So I looked several times during the day… I mean, its embarassing and all that my target found out, but obviously, since I was unaware that its possible to do such a thing, its not my fault and the spell should just overcome that right?”

Its a little late for me or else I’d keep going. 😉 I can do this all night for all types of spell…

So let’s clarify:
*I do not blame you for having phsyical, emotional, or mental issues. I do not blame you for unexpected misfortunes. I probably feel rather badly that anything bad happened to you.
*My pity (or anyone else’s pity) for your circumstances does not help you when it comes to a spell.
*Active spellwork has about as much care about you and your reasons or excuses why you did something as a fire has care about your reasons or excuses as to why you were accidentally burnt by it. It doesn’t care. Rationalizing your behaviors to a spell only convinces you that you did nothing wrong and “deserve” a second chance even though you can’t ask something without intelligent reasoning (such as a spell) for that very thing.
*It is usually not impossible to act against spellwork. If you do find yourself in certain circumstances where you are in a situation that you can’t avoid acting against the work, I suggest being prepared to redo the work, and minimizing the damage by not engaging in bad behaviors like spying EVER, or in the case of diarrhea-recon, that you pointedly say something you ate is having a bad effect on you (JUST TELL THEM YOU FEEL SICK FROM FOOD, don’t pretend nothing’s wrong because its embarrassing for you to admit what is wrong,) and you DO NOT try to stand there and keep going with some conversation if you seriously feel ill.

Maybe because of my job, people feel explaining something to me when they mess up (through no fault of their own or simply because they didn’t think it would have any effect,) will somehow free them of any bad effect. That would be wrong. I can’t make your eff up be not an eff up. I can’t change time backward so you can not eff up. I’m not a God, and… Guess what? I’m not your spell. I have emotions, I have feelings, I have pity. Your spell has no pity. It doesn’t care. Its like…if you wanted to catch rain in a bucket to drink the water, and then you forgot you left something on top of the bucket and so the rain could not get in it, guess what? The rain, the bucket, and the rainwater don’t give a fork that your bucket is empty because you made a mistake. Explaining to the sky or the rain or the bucket, that you MEANT to catch the water so can it please fill itself up now (or that you were just being spacey because your pet hamster was giving birth and you weren’t thinking straight, etc,) is not going to fill that effing bucket with water.

Do not rationalize your behavior to me (definitely, because all you get from me is “Wow, that’s too bad, sorry to hear that,”) but also… You effed up, maybe it wasn’t your fault, but you did. Admit to yourself “I effed up.” Once you do that, instead of trying to make it “okay” by explaining yourself to anyone (including you) is a waste of time. We all make mistakes. Perhaps there is some value in examining why you did that, but its not going to change that you have done something to make your spell less effective or entirely ineffective. No amount of explaination or apology will change that fact.

I realize someone will try to bring up the use of spirit work, or similar, as a way to disagree, and that type of spellwork NOT WHAT I AM DISCUSSING. I am talking about spells which do NOT use spirits. 😉

PS- Get excited everyone, I’m doing a series in April called Reconciliation 101. Its going to kick the ass of all recon spell how-to’s in existance.

PPS- If you email me and ask me if this post is about you or imply you feel its about you, even though its not, I’m just going to say “You know what? It is about you. Everything I write is about you. Hell, I’m staring at you right now through my secret camera, because you’re all I think about.” If that doesn’t creep you out enough to stop emailing me, then I will just tell you not to email me anymore. No disrespect or anything, but I’m not writing about anyone in particular. If you’ve ever ticked me off, you know very well that I will tell you how I feel about you and what I think your issues are. If you’ve ever behaved badly, you also know that I will just spit out that you need to work on x or y issue, and I will say it directly to you. 🙂
