Hey Occulties,

Just 3 quick questions today! 🙂

Q: If I cursed someone almost five years ago, what do you think the liklihood is that they would reverse it back on me now?

A: I would say it’s incredibly unlikely this person would REVERSE the very spell you cast on them. A long time has passed, according to what you’ve said, and that would not be the most-effective method of a counter-attack at this juncture in time. While I’d think someone who hasn’t struck back at you in five years is not like to do so now, should you really think they have reason to vindicate themselves for damage you had done to them via spellcraft, then they are more likely to attack you using a curse of their own, if they use spells. However, this is assuming your once-target is proficient in spellcraft. They might just kick your ass the old-fashioned way instead or something similar, but if they are not -to your knowledge,- angry or feeling violent towards you, I assume you’re safe.

However, if you’re just asking what if someone you cursed five years ago decided to take a reversing bath today or something (for another purpose,) and is still entirely ignorant to your having cursed them, then, IMHO you are not apt to be affected by this.

Q: Are magnets just as good as lodestones for spells?

A: I personally prefer manufactured magnets over lodestones in many of my rituals, but I guess I’d say it’s USUALLY a matter of preference of the spellcaster casting the spell.

Q: I cast a spell to get my ex back, and when my spell manifested and this person came back to me, they were still a jerk! What gives?

A: I would assume this person was a jerk all along. Just bringing that person back into your life will not dissolve their personality defects just because they return to you – even if to date you again. Often when we lose someone, we deify their image in our minds into something this person really is not (emotionally or personality wise,) and when reality sets in…well, you get to realize you made a jerk come back to you – a jerk who now misses you so very much.

You might stop someone from cheating, you might make them miss you and adore you, but if that person is just naturally churlish in some way, or if they are incompatible to you, or have personality traits you dislike then you have to understand those unlikeable sides of your intended are probably there to stay, and making that person love you will not change their ways in many ways. A jerk that loves you and doesn’t cheat on you is still a jerk, in other words.

So…I guess, I’d congratulate you on your success with your reconciliation spell, and give you my sympathies about realizing you fell in love with a jerk.

    Great post and regarding the last question, you might have a psycho stalker on your hands if that person is apt to be possessive. Spells do not change personality no matter HOW badly you want it.

    Thanks, Karma! 😉 I send people over to your “this is why it’s bad when 2 workers are working for you at the same time and don’t know it,” post all of the time and think that it should be required reading, too.
