Cat’s Rants: Confessions of an Occult Mastermind

To Make Someone Chatty/Talkative

May 13, 2009

Hey Occulties,

As you may have guessed, this spell can be used for good or bad. If someone is naturally a shy person and doesn’t speak a lot, this will help them open up and start speaking! 😀 However, if someone is keeping a few things in (and er, most of us are,) this spell can also be used to make them run off at the mouth, often to the point of getting them in some social trouble. :S I recommend its use only if the person you are spellcasting on has no information about you that you’d like kept secret.

As a word to the wise, some people are “shy” because they have nothing nice to say or just aren’t very bright and have nothing to say, literally.

Well, you wanted them to talk, so you’re prepared to hear what comes out, right? Right. 🙂

You will need:
A parrot feather,
Orange yarn or ribbon,
Orange thread,
A small glass vial with secure top (these are available at many ritual supply shops,)
Quicksilver/Mercury**
A witness sample (bio item or pic,) from the target person
A scrap of paper,
A black pen,
Tobacco (loose, yes cigarette tobacco is fine.)
Strong tape (optional.)

**Please remember mercury is highly toxic. You should not handle mercury with your bare hands, ingest it, or touch it. The fumes are also toxic. Yours truly will not tell you where to get this item, but it is available if you know where to look. I can’t technically tell you to procure it, so I’m just going to say…should you decide to do this spell, I take no responsibility for you having mercury or the dangers it can pose. 🙂

If you are really mercury-phobic, I will give you a possible alternate at the end, though it won’t be half as effective as the original. That being said, I never told you that you should handle mercury, so…hehe, decide what you want to do because as I said, I take no responsibility for others handling toxic substances. 😉

Taking a small piece of paper, write your target’s name on this paper ONCE using your black pen.

Clip off a small piece of the feather, and, holding the name paper scrap, and the witness sample tight to the feather, secure these three items together with your orange thread. A foot track is also usable in this spell, but should you use a foot-track as your personal item, just tie the feather-piece and name paper together. 🙂

Place the tied items into your vial (hehe, so you best be sure you made them SMALL,) and if you’ve chosen foot-track dirt, take enough to fill the vial about half full. If you’ve not chosen foot-track dirt for your personal item, then obviously skip that step. 😉

Now sprinkle tobacco into the vial, leaving at least a tiny amount of room by the mouth of the vial.

GENTLY AND CAREFULLY put 2-3 drops of quicksilver into the vial. Seal tightly with its cap. If you have chosen the optional ingredient of strong tape to keep the vial better sealed, wind the tape around the item now, making sure the line where the cap ends and the bottle begins (when the bottle is sealed,) is well covered. As a personal note, you want to use something like duct tape, or a strong tape – do not use scotch tape or masking tape as they are useless here. 😉

Holding your vial in your hand, shake it, visualizing the person who is your target speaking. Now speak to the vial (still visualizing and speaking as if it were the person you want to make chatty,) saying:
Speak your heart,
Speak your mind,
Until you speak
No peace you find.

Speak to them,
Speak to me,
Your lips are loose,
Your words fly free.

Your voice is strong-
Speak out loud!
Speak to the individuals
And to the crowds!

Now, hold both hands cupped so the vial is cupped between them. Breathe energy into the item (just breathe on it, kids,) and repeat the above chant, and the breath.

Using your orange yarn/ribbon, wrap the item until it is covered (it will look like a little yarn skein if you use yarn, a pellet shape, if you will,) and while you wrap, speak the above chant again (once) and when you’ve finished wrapping and tied off the yarn/ribbon, breathe energy on the item again. Optionally, you may choose to leave a loop at the top of the vial (more on this later.)

Mind you, all this time you are keeping a clear picture of your intended spell target talking. You don’t need to hear them speaking, just see their mouth running in your mind’s eye.

When you have finished wrapping the item, speak the chant ONE MORE TIME, and yes, breathe on it once more too, then say: “(Name of person,) I conjure you to speak endlessly, as is my will, so it be!”

Now, you can use this item one of two ways. If you bury it near where the target lives or will be, they will become chatty when around the item. If you prefer remote use of this, keep it in a purple bag, and when you take it out, put the loop end on your right index finger, and spin the item in a clockwise fashion while you envision the person running off at the mouth. An added chant (while spinning,) can add to the power – you can choose from the chant above (even a single verse of it,) or make your own, being sure to use the present tense and avoid negatives (no, not, never.)

I promised you a merury-free version so here goes: add 3 drops each of the following oils: Commanding, Follow Me Boy/Girl (the boy or girl is determined by the sex of the target, for male targets use Follow Me Boy, and for female targets use Follow Me Girl,) and Master Oil (I am thinking of an oil with Master Root in the oil, and I am thinking that’s the name.) 😉 All you need to do is omit the mercury and add the oils. I have also tried a version where I put in honey instead of mercury and a few drops of different oils for different effects to get someone to talk sweetly about another person…it wasn’t so bad. Feel free to experiment. 🙂

I have used this spell in a few ways… I have used it to get a call which I really needed to get, and to do that, I used the method with the loop on the end of the wrapped packeage, circling the vial clockwise over the phone, and saying “(full name of target,) call me now,” over and over. I have also used it to get a few of those really bitchy backstabbing type people who are nice to your face but then talk a lot of s*** to open up and tell everyone EVERYTHING…(mwahahaha,) meaning…like that time they called you a slut? They totally said that because they are jealous, and yes that WAS them who started the rumor that you’re brother is gay, and why? Because your brother was dating so and so, who that person hates because she once…. (Are you getting the point?) So, in that method, I buried the charm, and I just watched as everyone basically got to realize how fake and gossipy and evil this person was. I did have to listen to some really wild effing rumors this person started about me, but considering what else was coming out of their mouth, I wasn’t too worried anyone else at that place was thinking any of it true. 😉

Questions You’ve Asked Me: Spring 2009 Edition

May 8, 2009

Hey occulties,

So, your dear friend Cat has now finally recovered from the entire month of April. If April had been a physical being, I would have blown it off the face of the entire Universe. 😉 It sucked. End of story.

After a month made up entirely of Mondays (wasn’t it, or was that just me,) I’ve come to you with a fantabulous new edition of QYAM, and coming in the month of May are all sorts of goodies I’ve been working on for all of you. 😀

Let us begin!

Q: When setting up the altar and charging the spell items, what goes on (or should go on,) in the mind of the spellcaster?

A: While I can’t speak for all spellcasters, or even presume I am the mastermind of the majority of spellcasters (unlike some people, I do not believe I am the leader of the Leauge of Rootworkers, or as Fruity D once claimed, the Leader of the League of Internet Weirdos, nor do I wish to be either, haha,) I can give some insight to my personal practices if this is helpful. 😉

Presumably, I have all ingredients in front of me prior to setting up. 😉 So, I first take all the ritual candles I have, and, unless I have purposefully had this item fixed for me (suchas this nifty item to your right, fixed by Ms Karma Zain and available for purchase at her shop,) and I cleanse each of these by smoking them with sage smoke, or by wiping them down with some Florida Water, or a cleansing wash. This removes outside vibrations on the item. I also spray down my altar with a bit of Florida Water. Once everything has been cleansed, I take a moment to carve my intention into the candles (if applicable,) or to “name” the candles (if applicable,) with a pin or a nail. I also write out all name papers (if applicable.)

Now comes the fun part of charging all of the ritual items. Pre-emptively, my dear occulties, I have been working on a using and sending energy post for you, so if you are unclear on how to do that, I am going to kindly request you bop on over to our friend Julia’s blog over at A Higher Source, where she explains this to you. Anyhow, so moving on where I assume you all know what in the eff I’m speaking of when I speak of sending energy and charging an item, I do this a number of ways – specifically some of you have asked if I use pictures, colors, feelings, etc, so let me re”count” the ways (bad Shakespearean pun totally intended.)

Method 1 – Sometimes if I’m in a certain mood or even just have some extra time or energy, I will actually do this to save myself a bit of time. I sit with the correct color of candle, and put a charge in it for later use. For example, if I’m ridiculously stressed and angry and furious and rabid, I will hold some cursing candles (usually black candles, often figural,) and I will envision dark, angry cursing energy flowing out of myself and into the candle. I will see this as black worms. I do not allow myself to envision that which is CAUSING me this feeling unless I intend to use that candle immediately and on that which I feel antagonized by. This method can be used to give a charge to items for later use. 🙂 So, by definition, I am basically putting “blank” cursing energy into this candle and storing it for later. I can do this with any form of candle – love, luck, money, success, etc. All one needs is either extra energy (of any sort,) and a properly colored or figured (or both) candle. For example, if I want to make some extra love candles, I envision red and pink energy flowing into a red or pink candle, and try to FEEL the emotion of romantic love while I put this into the candle. (Hoping you all understand me on this.) 😉 Now, be sure to leave charged candles either by themselves, or in a box of similarly charged candles. The charge can be personalized later by envisioning the spell-target/s properly (say, if it is a reconicliation type of charge, the later charge would be envisioning the petioner and the target together and happy.)

Method 2 – I visualize colored energy and the desired outcome pouring into the ritual item, as I send the enegy.

Method 3 – I visualize the desired outcome/s pouring into the item/s as I send the energy.

Where do I get the energy from? I take this from the earth and the universe. The method I do this by is that I envision a giant cone shaped (sort of looks like tornado,) force of energy pouring down from the sky into the crown of my head, and then roots coming up from the earth into my base and feet, and when I feel the energy start building inside of me (this does have a sensation,) this is when I start sending this out of usually my right hand. I can send energy using my third eye, my solar plexus, and both of my hands. The reason I usually only send via my right hand is that it was traditionally how I was taught – it seems to balance the energy inside better, as the left hand is what I use for removing energy, and sending it down back to the earth or up back to the universe.

I’m sure you’re all scratching your heads a bit, but stick with me. 😉

For ritual items that are to be reused (such as a candle holder, or in some trads a wand, athame, etc,) I will charge the item by holding it in both hands and filling it with usually white energy. Why “usually?” If I have a specific item like a giant lodestone for a money altar, I would hold this and envision gold, green, and violet energies pouring into the lodestone. This has a specific use for a specific purpose. Depending on your trad, your wand may be used for differing purposes. By charging the item with white energy, you are charging it for multiple purposes.

Finally, with seals my personal preference is to send energy on to this by placing my right hand over it, and envisioning the desired event.

I also hold oils, powders, herbs, incenses within my hand and charge them with a specific color or a specific desired outcome before anointing the item they are to go upon or before placing the item on the altar.

If I really draw a blank, I have even charged an item with seeing my energy as a word going into the item.

Once everything has been charged (you didn’t realize so much went on, did you? hehe,) and properly placed on the altar. I stand for a moment to center myself. Next I envision roots coming from my feet/base and the funnel coming down into my crown, and when I feel the energy begin to build, I begin lighting the incenses, spellcandles. I direct my energy from my mouth, hands, third eye and solar plexus while speaking the chant and spellcasting. I personally see my energy as a spefic color which is specific to the type of working (ie pink for romance, gold for money,) while keeping an image of the desired outcome in my head. When the active casting part of the spell has ended, I do what I have been told is called grounding and centering. I cease pulling my energies from the universe and sending them out. Now, in a weird twist…the most horrid occult writer ever, Silver RavenWolf actually has a really good tip for those of you who want to know how to ground and center yourself post-spell without concentration…the effect, once done spellcasting, can be brought upon by also sticking your hand in some cool water. That really does work. 😉

So, if I haven’t confused you all so far, this is what I do energy-wise during the active part of spellcasting. I do hope that answered the question and didn’t raise a lot more. 😉

Q: Is there some sort of popularity contest among occultists? It sure seems like some people are acting like they are still in high school when it comes to other occultists.

A: While I agree sometimes immaturity springs up in the best of us, and that competition is in any sort of field, I would also agree some people take this a bit to far.

Is there LITERALLY a popularity contest? Well, so far as I know we don’t have one going just yet. There are a few people I think are hoping we do. 😉

In reality, some occultists just feel that the best method of “competing” with those they deem competitors is either to slam the competition or to just act incredibly snobbish. 😉 While I’m not sure which catagory I fit better into, I should hope I don’t lower myself to the standards of those who REALLY act out and feel threatened by all those around them. I know I’m guilty of a bit of intellectual trollism now and again, but hopefully not to the degree of some who just take it…ridiculously far. If I need a bibliography for every email list/chat group I post to, that’s JUUUUUUUSSSSSSTTT a bit much.

So…there’s no real popularity contest, but I’d agree that there are several occultists out there who never emotionally/behaviorally graduated out of the high school level of social skills. 😉

Q: You say the Universe rewards complainers with more to complain about – is that true?

A: Yes. In fact, some people seem to revel in being miserable, so I just assume the Universe is actually rewarding them as they would choose to be rewarded. Some people want to play the victim. It makes them feel special.

Q: I have read you feel that abusive relationships need to be handled more delicately than just using classic break up spellcraft – will you expand on that?

A: Certainly. First off, I’m going to state right now that until you’ve been in an abusive relationship yourself (and men can be in abusive relationships, fellas,) you are not going to entirely understand how they work. This doesn’t just happen overnight where someone hits you upside the head out of the blue, and you think “Gee, s/he’s special – better stay with this one!” 😉 No, its a giant mindf*ck, and it happens gradually (most of the time,) so that the abused becomes dependant on the abuser. This is the first difficult factor in this. The abused will lack self-esteem (no Jason Gammon, they don’t enjoy being abused, and deny deny, but you posted that abused people enjoy the abuse all over a Yahoogroup and everyone knows it, – I won’t be letting you live that down any time soon,) and the abuser will continue to strip away any personal relationships which may threaten the abusers position as boss of the abused, whilst also assuring the abused that only the abuser can bear to deal with them. :S The abuser ISOLATES the abused.

So, this is a factor, obviously, which is of concern. :S We have the abused as being dependant emotionally on the abuser, while often also FINANCIALLY dependant on the abuser. If there is any form of freedom, the abuser does whatever is possible to strip this freedom from the abused party.

Also, we need to remember that when the abuser’s position is threatened in ANY WAY, the abuser reacts with more abuse. This can be violence, verbal, or emotional abuse which is put upon the abused party. And the abuser can be afraid, offended, angry, insulted, or etc, but will abuse the abused party as their reaction almost all of the time.

NOW, wtf does this have to do with using break up spellcraft? you ask. I’m getting there.

See, break up spells often manifest violently. I have seen the most laid-back non-violent people brought to very very violent temper tantrums by this type of spellwork. They scream, they yell, they throw things…sometimes it even gets to the point of physical abuse! If this happens when break up curses are placed on healthy and normal relationships, what on earth do you think can happen on violent and unstable relationships!? Oh, you are starting to get what I’m saying. 😛

Another issue is that, as I’ve stated, the abuser has already eliminated the self-esteem of the abused party, has cut off all known ways of “escape” for the abused party, has made the abused dependant on him/her, and basically done whatever is possible to ensure the abused party will not leave. Well, do the math. If you get an abusive relationship split up, often times it just comes back together in hours, or days, or a week or two. 😛 If not, the abused is also terrified, often even suicidal at the “threat” of having to go into the world with the idea that they are powerless and defenseless without the abuser, and hated by all those who know them. Seriously. So…that can even lead to suicide…if the abuser doesn’t try to kill them for leaving…

Again, is anyone seeing a pattern?

And, while I realize many of us see our friends in abusive relationships and want to get them out to save them…the issue is, until the abused party wants out of the relationship, all you are going to do is make the situation worse. The couple often gets back together, and the abuse continues, and even escalates.

What can you do? If you are trying to HELP an abused party get out of an abusive relationship, you must build their self-esteem and confidence. Place blessing and protection on them. Use your spellcraft to empower them and help them to see what is going on. In the mundane, show them you are there to support them, and let them know you will help them if they want out of the relationship, or for whatever they want.

When it comes to the abuser, you must try to bind this person against harming the abused party. Several people want to curse the abuser, and to some degree this is both satisfying and may even work (hehe,) but remember, as the abuser’s fortunes turn sour, the abuser turns on the abused party to take his/her frustrations out.

Once the abused party is ready to leave, and hopefully does so, use of “Cut and Clear” spellcraft, or the type of spellcraft to destroy the bonds of love between 2 people should be performed.

Please tread carefully when performing spellcraft on abusive relationships…what I am saying here is just part of a giant topic. Often, those with good intentions towards helping a friend, simply cause a worse situation by just tossing out a break up spell. :S

Q: I was taught to soak in a bath and not wash myself up or down, but you say to wash up or down, depending on the purpose…which is better? Is one wrong?

A: While I don’t know how practical it is to ask me if my opinion is better than someone else’s (of course I think so, hahaha,) I would say neither one is wrong. HOWEVER, I was taught to wash UP (feet to head,) to bring a condition to you or on you (for example, to attract love, you would wash up,) or DOWN (head to feet,) to take a condition off of you… My method strikes me as more practical in that I am either washing on a condition or washing it off…but some people prefer to soak. Neither is the wrong way…I just think my way is better. 😉

I hope this has been enlightening!

Well, You Asked

April 28, 2009

Hi Occulties…

Some of you have written me about when can you expect new posts…well, kiddos, your old friend Cat is here to tell you what reasons it TAKES ME SO LONG to post.

*Everything I write, I need to explain as if I am speaking to someone who is completely clueless about what I am talking about. If I try to discuss a more advanced or intermediate topic, I have the choice of either making a painfully long post to get the beginners up to speed, or posting what I want and having to answer 2,362,993 emails asking me for the beginner info, so the newbs know what in the eff I’m speaking of, especially in cases where I had not made painfully long posts in the past to educate my beginner readers about what I am trying to discuss.

*Regardless of if I explained several concepts AD NAUSEUM (can anyone say “thinking it to death,” or “letting it go”?) on the blog, and even linked to the posts which discuss said concepts, there are always people who are too lackadaisical to so much as click a link or try reading another article. This means people complain because they don’t understand clicking a link will explain to them what they want to know.

*My job makes me have an egregious amount of email which I must answer. This takes away from my spare time in which I have to write posts, and further, if I’ve been writing all day, I’m usually not very motivated to write more.

So, you asked, and now you know. Its not the definitive list of why it takes me so long to post these days, but rather just the most important reasons. 😉

For Brian

April 24, 2009

“Today I’d like to explain what a candle is to all of you. Usually, a candle is a long cylindrical object made of wax with a string called a ‘wick’ at the end, – it sort of resembles a tampon, but can come in many different shapes. However, I urge you not to use a candle as a tampon, nor to use a tampon as a candle. Lighting your tampon may cause serious injuries.”

Hope you liked that, buddy. 😉

For the rest of you…I’m sorry for this perverted disruption to tell you a personal joke, now back to our regularly scheduled program.

Mama Cat’s Pearls of Wisdom #8

April 16, 2009

If you’re going to make a mistake, you might as well make it a big one.

*****note from Cat, added for you post first-publishing, – I’m not referring to any recent or past mistakes of my own. Had I known this bit of advice would cause undue concern to anyone, I’d not have bothered to put this up, and had put it up as a recent jest to a friend more than for any other reason.
Oh dear…

April 13, 2009

Hey Occulties,

Apparently I’m a big meanie for trying to have what I thought was a fun debate, where the other person, who I believed totally into it since they were keeping it up with what I beleived was some dumbing things down (to exaggerate,) and some rude bright red lettering, and etc (smiley emoticons were totally in play on both sides,) and this person actually had a tantrum, wrote out a long diatribe, and fled my Hoodoo For Everyone group. You know, that scream and run off into the night before I can respond thing! Seriously! No, I wasn’t trying to be mean!

Can y’all tell me when I’m getting mean? Because that’s not me mean. If people think that’s me when I am mean, never get me mad, its going to be a rude awakening should you do so. I was having fun and writing up 2 huge responses for both posts, and DAMN! some people are sensitive!

Seriously…next time you see me get mean (I try to be nice most of the time,) just privately contact me and say I’m being mean… Unless I’m burning someone who deserves it like Fruitbar D or a plagurist or something. 😉

Thanks everyone… So much for a fun heated scholarly debate! As I said, if you can’t stand the heat, don’t light a fire in my kitchen! (Cuz, something’s already alwyays cooking in there.)

Can people who like scholarly debates come to the HFE board? I’d be a happier person, and not feel bad when I apparently inadvertantly offended someone who I guess was actually trying to offend me with the dumbing down and red type that I thought was just for fun.

Note to self: use more smiley emoticons so as to scare off less people you think you’re debating with.

Again, damn!

Fixing a Figural Candle

April 10, 2009

Alrightey, ready yourselves for a photo extravaganza! Here goes:

In figure one, we see everything we will need for this (oil, candle, hair/personal item from target, spare candle, lighter, optional tweezers, and a screw that is SUPPOSED TO represent a nail, except some dirtbag walked off with my 10d nails this morning..ahem.) You do not need A Higher Source Fast Luck Oil, particularly, it is just representative of a ritual oil. You also do not need an ORANGE MAN FIGURE candle – use the right color and sex for your ritual.

In figure two, we see a man candle with initials written over the heart. You should CARVE THESE INITIALS with a nail or pin into this area, but for reasons of visibility, I have used a marker so you can see what I mean.

In figure 3, you see me using tweezers with what is supposed to be a nail (not a screw) over a lit candle, so as to heat the screw for use in carving out the base of the candle.

In figures 4 and 4.5 you see that the person who had poured this candle left a natural hole at the base I could have used, but you can also see in the next image what looks like a black spot where I have used my heated metal instrument to carve out a hole in the base of the candle.

Figure 5 is the hair (which is our personal item we are using as an example,) which I am preparing to stick in the base of the figural candle. Special thanks to my dog for contributing monster amounts of hair as well as the mess you see in the background of a few of these pics. 😉

Figure six and six.five show how a finger (six) can be used to shove the witness sample (personal item,) into the hole which has been made, but in 6.5, I show you that, yes, sometimes it is easier to use a tool to stuff the witness sample into the carved out spot. 😉

In figures 7.1-7.4, I am showing how to use wax from the spare candle we lit to heat the nail (or what represents it, hehe,) for making our hole. Fig 7.1 shows the wax having been poured into the hole the first time. Figure 7.2 shows that I have tamped down some semi-cool wax with my finger to flatten the area. Figure seven-three is the addition of more wax to make the item secure, and finally figure 7.4 is the candle, with the base dry standing up. Notice you can still see a few hairs sticking out? This is okay, as all that is needed is that most of the item is securely within the candle.

Figure 8 shows two things, the first being that I handled a lot of chemicals in art school and have really prematurely aged my hands, and the second that I am holding some drops of oil for anointing within said hand.

Figures 9.1 and 9.2 show what I mean to stroke the candle with an oiled hand. If we are going UP (bringing something) we go “feet to head,” or “base to wick.” Figure 9.1 is starting at the base, and if we run our hand along the candle, 9.2 is the to the wick rub. If you want to REMOVE or TAKE AWAY a situatoon, you go “head to feet” or “wick to base,” and would reverse the order shown here.

All you would have to do past this and putting “energy” into the candle or “charging it” (I didn’t grease the candle really, and I’m pulling out the dog hair as we speak, lol,) is sprinkle the neccissary herbs on your candle and you have fixed a figural candle.

Huzzah!

Special thanks to Stormsong.org for the orange man-shaped candle used in this pic, and A Higher Source Spiritual Supply for the oil used in this pic.

~Cat

PS- Yes, I have decided to toss the candle rather than somehow make my dog communicate more or have more good luck. 😉 The big D (my doggy,) is already super-happy and lucky and has a freshly cleaned brush thanks to this photo montage. 😉

PPS- These are my pics, so don’t steal or I will eat your soul.

A Bit of Advice!

April 10, 2009

Hi all,

While working on a really long article about correct action and proper frame of mind during and after spellcasting, I realized…this freaking article is a giant novel and most of you need some pointers NOW. I mean, to the level of its so needed NOW it was needed NOW a loooooooong time ago.

So, let’s do a brief review, and I’ll see if I can’t get a cool spellcrafty article up after this one…you know – like even one with pictures and everything. 😉

Let’s just briefly go over a few things we should all keep in mind while we are spellcasting and waiting for manifestation, kay?

*First, consider your state of mind!

Are you so freaked out you can’t even remember how to clip your toenails? Do you cry at the smell of cookies because they remind you of your ex? Are you so incredibly whacked by your situation as to be someone all your friends are avoiding because they’d rather stab themselves in the eye than listen to another 3 hours of how you miss so-and-so, and wish you hadn’t done this, or think so-and-so is thinking this, and etc.? If so, you’re hella freaked out and you need to calm down before anything is gettng done!

Listen, its normal to be upset, even completely blown away when a bad situation first occurs. Its normal to be stressed and anxious about money or a job when you’re hungry and can’t pay the bills. Its even normal to be so hurt by a situation that you are entertaining some really scary thoughts….but you need to learn some control, and until you are capable of control, you will likely have a difficult manifestation that takes forever, or you’ll shoot yourself in the foot before the spell can manifest, or our favorite thing ever, you’ll just think that little spell to death because you have to think and ponder and ponder and think on it so very much because you claim you “can’t help yourself.”

What? You can’t help yourself? BULL-PUCKY! You can, you just refuse to. Sorry to be the one to point that one out. 😉

You need to give yourself (at least) 3 days to CALM THE EFF DOWN, and when you feel like you’ve stabilized, then try casting the spell. If you’re past the three days of crazy period, ask yourself, “Is this helpful? Is crying and dwelling on the negative part of my situation in any way bringing anything positive to my situation?” And the answer is? No, it isn’t. :S So, just stop. I won’t tell you to get over it, but I will tell you to get over yourself – you aren’t the only person who’s ever had a bad time of things, and remember, the Universe rewards crybabies and complainers with more to cry and complain about, so you just keep it up if that’s what you want. You don’t want that? Well, then let’s wipe the tears off of our faces, straighten the wrinkles out of our clothing and try to go back to a semblance of normalcy.

If you aren’t ready to do that, then you grieve or panic til you’ve run that out of your system. When you’ve finished needlessly expending that nervous and freaked out energy that could be put to better use, please join the rest of the class. 😉

The rest of us I should hope are with a clearer mind, and are ready to fix a situation rather than obsess or complain about it. 🙂

*You may BELIEVE your state of mind is right, but are you LETTING GO of the situation?

Oh nuts and a pickle, did I just say Letting Go!? Oh, fork, now you’re all upset thinking I was saying “give it up.” Its not near to the same thing.

Let us learn how to LET GO of a situation, by first remembering that when you “give up” on something, you do let it go, but you do not always give up if you let go. What in the cheese danish am I speaking of? Well, see, letting go means that you put the PAST behind you, and focus on the present and future. You do not get wound up by the past, and you do not base your expectations of the present or future on the past event that has or had you so wound up. You don’t seek signs, and you just go about attending to the life you presently have without getting your nose in a twist. I think the Beatles said it right, when they said “Let it be.” That’s right, you just let that thing be, stop worrying at it, and it will have an answer, thank you Paul McCartney and your supposed channelling of your deceased mother for bringing us this information in a song. 🙂

Now if you GIVE UP, this means you don’t want something anymore. When you don’t want it, you generally stop caring about the events that led up to to the bad event, and you also stop caring about wanting the thing, how the thing will happen, and what that thing is doing, etc, because you don’t care anymore. To heck with that, you just don’t care.

BUT, a hard learned lesson (especially for love-spell casters,) is the time you gave up on a thing, and *poof* your spell manifested. Dang, you just learned if you LET IT GO before you GAVE UP, you would have had it when you wanted it. :S

Now, let us again absorb a song from Sir Paul McCartney, because he’s a bit more poetic than I… “There will be an answer, let it be.” Damn straight, Paul! While George Harrison is normally the right Beatle to seek out when you want answers about this sort of thing (yes, I know George is dead, but he left you lots of wisdom,) it is Paul on the money this time. My Beatlemania aside, let’s look at this… If there will be an answer to your problem if you just let it go (let it be,) and go on doing the best you can without picking, worrying, or dwelling on your problem, then why are you not letting it be!

Alrightey, I see the Beatle references confused a few of you. 😉 What I’m saying is drop your obsessing on the past, drop your fears you have, and let them go. Focus on the present, and do not be influenced by the past or give it thought. In essence, if a thing is not in your presence, you should focus on those things that are, and be satisfied with the idea that every situation does have more to it, but its not worth your worrying. If you’ve put that spell out to the Universe, go and involve yourself in those things in your present. Do not cling to when is so and so coming. Do not freak out about when will this manifest. Do not constantly worry about what happened and what will. Let that crap be! Let it go. Live in the now and just toss out your fears and attentions to the past for right now.

Then, I suspect you will have let it go, and the spell will work faster… a lot faster.

Try this – spellcast for a thing you could give 2 shingles and a hot poop about right now. Like…say, you have a friend who you’d had an argument with some months back, and though you’re not concerned about making up with them, you wouldn’t mind doing so. Do a reconcilation spell on the friendship, and then forget about it entirely. Stop thinking of it at all. Don’t look for signs and omens of it coming, and don’t give a flying twinkie if it comes to being. It will…and fast…once you’ve let it go.

Seriously, try it out. 😉

*When there is a problem, take a hard look at the source of the problem, and consider all options for that source, including yourself.

What? What did I say? You, have a problem? But you’re so very happy? Positive? Faithful?

You can be as happy and joyful as you’d like…if you’re thinking to death, picking at a situation, obsessing or not letting go, you have a problem. Take a hard look at yourself. Are you having a problem? Yeah, maybe? 😉 Alright, then take the opportunity to fix it now that you see that.

Also, what is this not taking responsibility for yourself thing? That’s a problem! Maybe YOU need to take a hard look at the fact that YOUR money spell isn’t working to pay your bills because when it brings money, you go blow all your money on stupid things and not your bills! OR, maybe that recon spell isn’t working because you are still too bitter about the break and keep scaring your ex off? Demanding proofs of love? Having expectations of others that are unrealistic? (like that you can be a huge jerk and they’ll still follow you around with big hopeful eyes, just cuz you cast a spell.)

Just have a think on it the next time you feel like blaming your spell, the Universe, or anyone other than yourself. You may be surprised who’s the cause of the problem.

*Being afraid of a spell is the same thing as saying you are afraid of what you want.

You have never cast a spell, so you’re scared it will hurt you, right? Oh-kay… That’s not a good start. Remember when you were little someone said “Don’t be afraid of that dog, or he’ll smell your fear,” and you thought “My fear is scented?” and were afraid of the dog, and the dog acted strange or aggressive? Yep…well, that’s because fear, while not entirely useless, is not a helpful thing in many situations.

Let’s reassure you with a few things here… There are a few nasty and mega-serious spells I’ve put up here on this blog, and I tell you “this is not a beginner spell,” and that its “not a nice spell, and will harm someone,” so if that is present in the article, then you might reconsider doing the spell.

Beyond that, everything I’ve offered is safe. Nothing will fly out of the candle and bite you. So long as you don’t EAT the ritual supplies, they are not going to hurt you, and if you keep your hands off of the hot things (fire, charcoal incense burners, etc,) you should be safe from injury. 😉

Approach the spell with will, and without fear. You want to be without fear while spellcasting, because you won’t be transmitting your energies properly, and you will get nervous, and that will make you more prone to mistakes. Instead, clear your mind, have courage in your heart, and cast that spell. 🙂

Fear has its own energy (yes, and even a smell,) and its nothing we wish to add to MOST spells. While it has its uses (if you can harness it you can send fear into your enemies, mwhahahahahaha, and if you can transmute its energy, even give you an added burst of strength of will in your spells,) most of the time its not helpful. While I don’t mean stand in front of a moving train and don’t fear for your life (of course you would,) most of the time that fear holds you back. Not speaking in a social situation because you are afraid of being judged means people are going to percieve you as stand-offish and unpleasant. Being afraid that if you tell someone you care, that they might laugh at you sometimes means you miss your chance to ever tell someone you care.

And yes, fearing dogs makes them act weird towards you. I have never feared a dog in my life. If it wanted to bite me it would even if I wasn’t scared. 😉 That’s why I get along with dogs.

BUT, fear has little to no place in spellcasting. If you are still scared to cast a spell and scared of the consequences if you do, you are not yet ready to cast a spell. Work on having courage and being fearless.

I do hope some of this is educational.

Its Work-Related

March 28, 2009

Hey Occulties,

So, since I don’t charge for consult, I’ve had the last request I’ve taken (you’ve been responded to,) to wait for your payment on x day (generally more than a week away in several cases, more like 2 weeks in a few,) for a very, very, very long time. Yes, I don’t start work until I’m paid, but if you and I are emailing back and forth, you’re taking up my time, and if I know you? I trust you enough to wait… But this is coming from some new clients, so…

If you’re going to want work, be ready to pay for it when you request it from me, OR tell me in the opening of the email that I have to wait for several days for you to save up, and i’ll just send you a one line or two line price quote, and if I hear from you again around the time you want to pay, we can discuss the work.

Why? Listen, I have $15 in my account. This means my restock ability is nil. If I get paid a lot on one day, then there is a chance I’ll run out of materials to work with, and everything with me gets screwed up. Its also more difficult for me to have to go through all of your previous communicae (how many recon requests do you think I get, lol,) to refamiliarize with your spell-plan and your situation.

I appreciate that the economy is insidiously sour, but at this time, there is NO LAY-AWAY at my business anymore. I can’t pay my bills with your promises (or my promises you’ll pay for that matter,) so please respect that everything I do is costing me money, and I do have to pay the people I owe promptly…which requires prompt payment on the part of the client.

If this doesn’t change, consults will no longer be free.

Thanks for your attention in this matter,

~Cat

PS- if everyone wants more posts up, you better hope I get paid… $15 won’t cover my blog fee, and I won’t be able to come in here and put up new posts til I pay my blog company. Don’t like that? Neither do I.
“King Con,” our friend, Fruitbar Dandalion attacks from a New Site!

March 25, 2009

Hey Occulties,

Look, Fruity-D is at it again!

http://www.blackmagicspells.me/

He’s going back to being Oswald! And hey, look another thing I can send to the police, and an exact replica of his old site, so his “magic” must be so “different” than before.

I figured since a lot of Frater Dantalion (let’s know him as Effy D,) victims have checked out my story of Cat VS The Nut, I would share this with you all.

Alright, Effy D, its Poopster talking here…. Please, please, please exercise some common sense and RUN, EFFY D, RUN!! Its not the Goetic entities, or disembodied spirits or even minions of hell attacking you that you need fear – its those ladies and gents with badges who are coming for you. Seriously, Oswald, Poopster knows – she knows your every move cuz this is one of the most read areas of my blog, and people seek you out to see if they can find new news on you to send me to keep this going. This is 1/20th of what I hear about, if that. I am actually being nice to you and not saying most of what I know!

I’ll give you that you are much more famous than me, though you are infamous. You’re famous in the worst way possible. Bald-crazy-Britney-Spear’s-type famous is not good.

You could always take down all of the false statements you made about me that fall all over themselves. I can’t understand how me, a respected author with not one public complaint about me for five years of business suddenly has some posts about her all suspiciously sounding like the same person slamming her is something you think people actually think is legit.

I’d say I’d back down when you refute all your statements, but at this point everything I’m gonna do is already done, and happening all around you. You were warned.

Enough, dude, at this point, I feel so bad for you. I’m pretty sure even I’m done mocking what you’re doing to yourself, despite my disgust at the things your cheated clients and former victims keep coming to tell me The shadenfruede isn’t so satisfying anymore. I pity you for being this pathetic. You aren’t even good at being evil. :S

Effy D, Oswald, or whatever you want to be called today, you need help.

Unless you outright keep attacking me, I guess I have nothing more to say, because I think its wrong to attack mentally ill people, and you so obviously are crazy.
