Hi Occulties,
Another quick edition of QYAM. 😉
Q: I have heard not to do something magically if you won’t do it in the physical world, but also that sometimes it’s better to do it magically than in the physical world. Which is correct?
A: Well, the simple answer is both. 😉
I do agree with most people – what you would never ever do physically, with your bare hands, or whatever else is required to get the job done, if you could get away with it legally, morally, and etc, should never be done magically. If you hate that person enough to kill them with your bare hands, and would kill that person with your bare hands if you’d not get tossed in jail, THEN maybe you should curse them. If the idea of tossing that person off a cliff amuses you mentally, but in the physical world, you’d be torn with guilt and upset at your actions, you should not try to kill them magically. Or… If you would do most anything to get that promotion over your co-worker, and would be sneaky in getting said promotion in the physical world if only you would not have to worry people would discover this and you’d get fired, then go ahead and use magic to get that promotion. If, on the other hand, your co-worker whom you are competing against is down on his or her luck, having a hard time making ends meet, and needs that job to support his or her family, and also is the better candidate – whereas you would just like the status that comes with the job, – and you suspect you’d feel badly if you got promoted over them, don’t use the spellwork to get the job.
I can go over a thousand different examples for different types of spellcraft. The point – simplified – is judge for yourself before spellcasting if the ultimate outcome is something you want enough in the physical plane that had you the ability and freedom to do whatsoever you want, you’d take the opportunity (or create it,) to do x action if you felt you’d be free from reprisal in the physical plane.
Now, think about this by putting yourself in the other person’s shoes, also. Think as if you’re the target. If you would destroy a love affair to have one party in said love affair, would you honestly want to switch places with the party being cast out? Do you think the one you want deserves the cruelty of a break up? Has, historically-speaking, the love target in that equation dealt with break ups well? Does the one you’re casting out have a history of violent or unsound behavior when they are mistreated? Why am I asking you all this? 😉 Well, having seen a break up spell or two, believe it or not, if you cause enough damage and you’re the “odd man (or woman) out,” who’s casting the break up spell (and “bring that one to me” spell, heh,) if you do enough damage, you can easily mentally and emotionally damage the one you want to a point that you do not want them anymore. You can cause a violent outcome between the couple you’re breaking up – one could end up in jail. You might create a situation such that you make one of the parties you broke up stalk each other (so, sure you have this one in your life now, but the other calls your house at 2am every night to run a fax machine noise through, lol,) – the possibilities for outcomes are endless.
It’s a good idea to think through the myriad of outcomes, even if you think if you could get away with forcing the change you want in the physical plane, you would. I assure you, if you never think of what BAD THINGS might come of your desires, at some point those “bad things,” will manifest if you keep spellcasting on things with no thought of the outcome.
So, if you think about what might happen if you forced your will on the physical plane, then you can get some idea of what may happen if you do the same using magic. If you hate someone horribly, would you hate them less or feel badly if they suffered? If you would, you will feel badly when a curse manifests, then.
Hopefully my lack of coffee has not prevented me from driving home that just because you CAN do it magically, doesn’t mean you SHOULD, and if you’d be horrified at the outcomes if you forced your will on the physical plane, the effect of getting what you want through spellwork might be similarly upsetting.
So, why do anything magical at all, especially if you can do it in the physical plane? 
Sometimes the outcome would be better if you used your magical abilities, is why. 😉 If you do want to injure someone, at least in my home country (USA,) you can’t be put in jail (to my knowledge) for using spellcraft to harm another. I think that would go against our first amendment stating that we have freedom of religion. While I’d not recommend you go off at the mouth to others about cursing anyone to any other person, if someone figured it out, there is nothing in the USA that would give them any legal reason to attack you in the physical world. 🙂 Magically, they might get you, if they know magic. That said, if you death curse them and they die, and somehow their family finds out you cursed them to death (or suspects as much,) assuming those people know no magic, I highly doubt a civil case would even win them anything to recompense those people for their loss. Assuming you’re not a knob (many people are knobs,) and you kept the fact you death cursed the person to yourself, the only problem you should have is living with the guilt of murdering another. Maybe you wouldn’t feel guilty. If someone was molesting my nephews and the law would do nothing to person molesting them, I’d sure not give a damn if that person died terribly. I’d see it as saving other children from abuse, and justice for the children already abused.
Or, perhaps you’re very shy and have a hard time around people you’re attracted to. You know a friend is attracted to you, and you’re interested, but he or she is also very shy. If you want to push that person to tell you their feelings, it might be less complicated to use magic to encourage that outcome. I’m sure if the attraction seems mutual, you’ve already tried to drop hints you’re interested, but two shy people in love can have the equivalent of a staring contest (like they’re waiting the other out, heh,) and never get to the enjoyable sides of love like rubbing each other’s fun parts, if neither has the nerve to speak up. Well, light a tiny fire (a figurative tiny fire,) under the other person’s bum, and get them to speak up before you do. I’ve had more than one client who used this method to bring someone into their lives. 😉 COULD THEY get that person without spells? Probably. But if they really want to have the person pounce on them first and it needs a push, I really don’t see any harm in encouraging one side of a shy party to be less shy about their romantic feelings.
So, yep, magically-speaking, always do only what you’d do on the physical plane if you could get away with it (or accomplish it,) but also keep in mind some things are better done on the magical plane than the physical.
I’m only 2 coffees in to my day, and we all know I need about 4 to function normally so I hope that was somewhat understandable. 😉
Q: Why do you love road opener spells so much?
A: They bring positive change and tend to break down the obstacles which need to be cleared, so long as the obstacles are not gigantic. It’s a very positive working for almost any situation. If you need something a little stronger, try a block buster spell. 🙂
Q: I have heard music or background noise can be too distracting, but I like to spellcast to music. What is your opinion?
A: I agree it can be easily distracting. For example, I was trying to do some personal work for money a few weeks back. I was watching a film…some horror flick I believe, and there was definitely some crazy murder noises coming from the movie as I was trying to charge the candle. I had to hit pause. I didn’t exactly want me thinking of violence and horror while trying to increase my income. 😉 However, that sort of background noise is something most of us could understand might be less than helpful to our work.
So, when it comes to music…if you’re working for reconciliation, don’t pick the sad song that makes you think of the break. Try something hopeful and loving – IF YOU NEED MUSIC AT ALL. Make sure you’re picking something that suits the situation you want to MAKE, not necessarily what the situation is. If you find the music helpful, an instrumental might even be better. The human mind is easily distracted by other humans speaking.
Or, if like yours truly, you find background noises annoying or distracting the vast majority of the time, then keep it as silent as possible while you work. Use ear plugs if you have to.
Q: Is there a way I can make a “Seven-day Glass-encased candle” last seven days?
A: Sometimes freezing it solid before you bless and dress it (about 24 hours in a freezer works,) will preserve it for an extra day, especially if you’re working in hot weather. You can also extinguish it for a few hours here and there to extend the life. I personally prefer to burn them through without extinguishing them, so I try the freezer method first.
Q: If my ex left me, and I don’t want them back, can I make them want me back so I can reject them?
A: You could use spellwork to that end, but it’s rather implicative of you actually wanting them back. 😉 You also run the risk of making yourself want them again, because often people spellcast on themselves as well as the target in a re-conciliatory type of working. So, I would actually recommend using curses, justice spells, or even something to remove that person’s influence from your life if you REALLY don’t want them back. If you want to make someone suffer, I get it – but try actually cursing them, then. 😉 Sure, it might be satisfying to have them begging you back, but it’s even more satisfying to see them get their actual “just deserts,” rather than begging you to please come back. Trust me on this one. I know you’re gonna do whatever you want to do, but I still hope my words here mean something. 😉
Hope this was enlightening! 🙂
