Hey occulties,
I'll be brief this morning. 😉
Controlling spells are often confused as "somehow puppet another person as if they have no control over their own actions" spells, and this is not really how they work. Instead, we are generally trying to "force" or "compel" another person to take a particular action. Oftentimes the influence is limited, especially if the action is one which is not tied to an emotional response. This is fine – if you need someone to take a particular action ONCE, you don't need them to do your bidding for the rest of your or their lives. :)
The incoming spell I have, mostly because it's dear to many people's hearts over this time of the season, is to get someone to pay you back for monies owed. The caveat is that this person has to owe you the money. 😛 So, if you decide that your old friend Cat owes you ten million dollars because I'm a big dumbhead and that's the only thing that will allow you to feel OK with me living in this world, the thing is…I don't owe you ten million dollars. 😛 If your brother in law owes you $200 for that time he got a flat tire and totally didn't pay you back, then this should make your brother in law pay up. If you didn't like the job your next-door neighbor's kid did mowing your lawn but you paid that kid anyhow, that kid does not owe you money back. It won't work. However, if your office mate owes you $50 for those Christmas party supplies and she's totally going to pay you (next Tuesday for a hamburger today, right?) but she never does, this incoming spell will be great for you.
We're going to look at using Saturn as an assistant in binding someone to pay you back by holding them to an oral (and possibly even written) contract. Again this requires that the person OWES you the money. And my other caveat? If this person is literally homeless, jobless, or penniless, you may be waiting a long time for them to come through. If the problem is that they just don't want to pay you right now and they definitely have the money they owe you, then they should come through.
OK, I'll have the finishing touches on this spell for you shortly. Get ready to get paid back (in a good way, not like…paid back for that time you did that bad thing and no one knows about it but you are just so sure karma's going to bite you in the ass.)
