Hey there Occulties,
I realize that, from my perspective, there are a lot of people out there who basically are like fish who jump out of water, and then complain that they can't breathe, and then when I put them back in the proverbial water so they can breathe again, they almost instantly jump out and flop around, and complain they still can't breathe. This is what lust for results/thinking spellwork to death looks like to a person who isn't in it's throes. I mean, like the old saying goes, you only need to get burned once to not make the same mistake of touching a fire happen twice…but if you have lust for results, you just keep burning your arm off and saying you can't help yourself, you have to. Okay, that second part is new, and I added it.
BUT DO NOT WORRY, THIS IS NOT A LUST FOR RESULTS ARTICLE,
Instead, I am just saying, probably I focus on that so much because from where I sit, that is exactly what my entire day is… People torturing themselves, working themselves into hysterics, and then, often, acting out and hurting their spellwork. It might make me a little glum now and again. 
I even have been in the throes of the evil lust for results, and no matter how "good" you think you're being, it is a bad spot and it's like watching someone punch themselves in the face repeatedly and then ask why they can't get rid of their black eyes. So…yeah.
So that got me to thinking, some of this is caused by people wanting some sort of just even trivial positive sign that they are making progress (at least I think so,) and while we all want exactly what we spellcasted for to plop in our laps RIGHT NOW AT THIS VERY SECOND, there generally is a waiting for manifestation phase…and it's that waiting that really kills some people. They just can't take it. They go over the archives and go "FUCK YOU, CAT, AND YOUR CONSTANTLY MAKING ME FEEL BAD FOR DOING THE OPPOSITE OF THE THINGS YOU SAY TO DO TO HAVE A SUCCESSFUL SPELL MANIFEST! IF I JUST HAD ONE LITTLE THING GO RIGHT, MAYBE I WOULDN'T BE YELLING AT YOUR BLOG WHERE YOU CAN'T HEAR ME!"
While I don't literally hear you loud and clear (because if every epithet yelled at a screen which was directed at me was heard loud and clear by me, I'd probably have some interesting PTSD issues,) I can understand how that little glimmer of hope is going to help calm you and put you closer to an emotional point where you aren't basically panicking and acting like you would be if you threw gasoline on a fire in an effort to put out the fire. And you know what? It's easier (not surprisingly) to do the "little things."
Like what? Like what do I mean? I mean, it's easier to get communication than you think…I mean maybe not, – maybe there is a restraining order, – but for most of us, yes, it's not that hard to get that little bit. Or, perhaps you need a LARGE sum of money in the next 3 weeks, but if your boss would just put direct deposit in NOW, you'd at least be able to get groceries. That might also be possible. Just one little GLIMMER of hope could totally make you feel better.
I realize my archives are a gigantic hellbeast which even many of my more devoted readers are like "But this shit is like 15 years old, Cat – how would I know to read an article that old!?" and so you might have missed a few gems. One is to open up the mind of a target to make him or her more suggestible. It is very easy. You need a small vial or jar (like even a baby food jar,) a lot of poppy seeds (I buy them in a BIG BAG) and an appropriate oil, as well as a witness sample (really really helpful,) and a little slip of paper. So, let's say your spouse is being rude and snappy at you because you did something hurtful. It wasn't something you are proud of, but it was also something most of us would agree is entirely forgivable. Put your poppy seeds into the jar to almost fill it, add some oil (in this case, reconciliation would work nicely,) to coat the seeds and stir, and now push your witness sample and a slip of paper with the target's name on one side (their full name) and a command on the other side (so in this case, "Name of Spouse, forgive (your full name) for all that you feel anger towards them," would work pretty nicely,) and then seal the jar up tight, and hold it and envision what you want, for a few minutes and wait.
It totally opens up the target's mind, and in the way you want it to.
Or use some roadopener work. I LOVE ROADOPENER. This is going to break down those obstacles and draw positive changes into your life. All you need is a gold candle and some roadopener oil (from a reputable source,) and you will see a positive change shortly. So let's say I am arguing with my partner a lot, and while I get there is a difficulty in communication, I don't clearly see why. I can make my petition out to be that I would like all blocks removed to positive and helpful communication between us, so that we can communicate freely like we used to. Roadopener can be applied to anything and it is CHEAP AND EASY TO DO.
But right now some of you are like "No, Cat, that sucks. I don't want to talk to this person and some namby pamby influence spell just won't make this one budge." You have found yourself a stubborn love target, they went and started dating someone else, even though you love them to bits, and, what's worse, you acted out and were scary and stuff. At this point, it's like you took a priceless ming vase and smashed it and then jumped on the pieces, and someone handed you a tube of Gorilla Glue and told you to put it back together…that's how hopeless you feel. Well, you could benefit from healing yourself, and you can also use "dripless" candles (these things really burn clean, leaving no, or almost no, wax bits once they have completely consumed themselves,) to even help make that rival's power disappear. Yeah, you can do that.
I am still seeing some glum faces in the rant room…. and I can say this: sometimes working on a big stinky issue is like losing weight. If you expect massive results in a week, you are bound to be disappointed. BUT, if you could see 5lbs fall off in a week (that's pretty good,) you'd be more likely to stick to that diet than you would be if you were losing like 2 lbs a month. I want you to have what you want today, too (well, unless what you want is for me to be miserable, ha,) but we might need to get there with some smaller steps.
Wouldn't you like to be talking with that person who stopped talking to you? What if we start there? Would you like to feel like people at work appreciate the work you do (which may lead to a raise soon)? Why don't we start there? Once you get those little "blips" of movement on your situation, you're going to feel a whole lot better, and this crazy social media stalking, and asking me to write essays regarding the meaning of a single emoji left on some post in social media will begin to abate.
So, this is what January is about. I am going to try to do about 7 articles, all regarding easy spells with "smaller" outcomes (so not a marriage proposal from someone who blocked you on every form of social media and their phone,) and work that focuses on making you stronger and happier, so your (and my) 2019 will be better. 🙂
Since most of y'all want some lovin', the first in the series will be about RECONCILIATION, and I will try to get that up in 12 hours to 3 days from now, depending on how popular I am this week (if I get slammed, it will be in a few days, and if this quiet spell keeps up, it might even be tonight.)
Stay tuned, or follow me on Twitter to get the latest updates!
