Witches - spell help

[lastminutetrip]

Hey, looking for some advice as in all the years of spell work I have never had this happen before.

i did a spell on the full moon, all very well intentioned, to help me save money. I lit a candle in a special place to me, set my intention, and the candle blew out quite quickly. It was near a window, so I took it to mean spell completed ie wish made.

i took the candle home and lit it again later on the lionsgate portal night to strengthen my resolve. The wax kind of dripped on to my finger and burned me a lot. I’ve never had that happen before. I looked it up and some say it’s a warning (what can it be warning me about, it’s literally just to make me save money 😂) or - very differing view - the spell needed some kind of karmic or energy payment from me, and I “paid” with the burn to add strength and resolve to the spell.

any thoughts? I’ve done this a long time and never cast bad or ill intentioned spells so I don’t know what this was about! Has someone hexed me?

blessed be x

Ah yes, you're right. I wasn't commenting on that bit. I meant the whole casting spells thing.

@Whattodo1610 thank you this was such a nice reply.

My little boy had a severe comprehension and speech delay so for him to describe a dream to me (frankly for him to have understood the plot of Harry Potter in the first place!) is so heartwarming.

I also struggle with the beliefs of other people. I’m instinctively GC - how can anyone be/ believe they were born in the wrong body? I try to educate myself and have sympathy and look for a compromise in which everyone can live their best life.

Thank you! I put it down to my trusty humour spell. Along with the chuckling monkey skull I’ve got on my altar.

If your freezer’s still working, then I’d say your incantation worked.

Prayer works! You are asking for help from supernatural beings, or giving them permission to intervene on your behalf. Which is why people who sincerely ask for help are helped/ answered. Sometimes in spectacular fashion, but often not straight away and/ or in ways they didn't expect.

@RimTimTagiDim Oh my goodness. You got me. (Side note: that was sarcasm.)

Where are the examples of beliefs that are not “woo”? Bring them to me, stop deflecting! You’re making this so much harder than it needs to be.

This is to warn you to move from the dark side into the light , plus the bright side will tell you to get a budget and not to waste money on useless things , another tip is to put a candle in a holder before lighting it , from the club of white witches

Guess the people of Dafur and Gaza need to ask for a refund on their prayers then. Or change their supernatural beings to ones who don’t think intervention to stop little kids starving to death is beneath them.

@DenizenOfAisleOfShame

Actually I thought your post was quite funny.

Did you know that black cats are the least commonly adopted from animal shelters, most likely because of superstitions about bad luck?

I feel like there’s a massive drip feed coming - what/whose animal did you sacrifice?!

Also: You should also go and track down the thread about Naked Cyclist protestors. That’s a fun one too.

So the spell is starting to work! Already the OP is benefiting from some excellent advice on cost-saving from this thread, which would not have happened if she hadn’t spilled hot wax on her thumb whilst spell-casting.😂

As gaza is 25 miles by 4 miles it's best all residents are moved out into Egypt with un funding to rebuild and do away with all terrorist s belong to hamas and hebulla, deport them to the Russian coal mines

Another great example of irony.

Oh please can I make a plea that we don’t turn this into a thread about why prayers for the people of Gaza aren’t working to save them?

I can answer a lot of things. But I can’t bat that one away. Explaining the nature of god and the power of prayer to a non-believer is well beyond the remit of this thread.

How dare you use logic 😂
Someone will probably be along to say they were praying to the wrong god, not praying hard enough, or it was all gods plan
If some times you pray and it comes true, sometimes bits of it come true and sometimes nothing happens at all... I'm failing to see how prayer works
Clearly instead of world leaders coming together to try negotiate peace, they should just be getting on their knees and praying it resolved itself
Good and bad things happen in the world and it's not because of good energy or bad energy or any supernatural intervention. Sometimes it's biology , people actions or decisions or wrong place, wrong time
In OPs case, she made a decision to touch hot wax and got burnt, hardly mystical

And yet, still no examples for me.

Are you always like this? 😂

I have a feeling in real life we might get on like a house on fire. Read into that whatever you like.

About 75% of the world believes in a God of some kind yet you alone have the profound knowledge of the beyond. Well done, you must be proud.
Do you openly mock Muslims etc. Not one of us really knows.

Have the apparent 75% come to a consensus of which is the correct god yet or do will we find out once they've continued fighting wars based on their various beliefs to find out which one is right?

@Juniperberry55 I’m going to hazard a guess you haven’t spent thirty years attending religious worship.

Or watched the original series of Star Trek.

I believe I addressed upthread the fact that people are not logical. Logic isn’t the goal of humanity. The purpose of prayer has never been that Good Faithful people will “get whatever they pray for”. You have sadly missed the point. Prayer has a function in spiritual and religious life, but not the function you think it should have.

I change my username constantly. I switch between names multiple times a day and have done ever since some friends recognised me from a Daily Mail article because I posted about a sensitive and personal situation and they lifted the thread(Which wasn’t even started by me) and they printed pretty much the whole thing so I change regularly, wasps or no wasps.

I don't make wishes or knock on wood for luck, and the vast majority of people who do those things don't genuinely believe they will make any difference; they simply do them as a tradition - similarly, when I say 'Good luck' to someone about their exams or a job interview, I do not actually believe that their luck will be any better as a result of me wishing them good luck.

OP, if you are scared that you've been hexed or something because some wax dripped on your finger, I think perhaps your beliefs are becoming a problem, as you're attributing serious meaning to minuscule, every day occurrences and becoming anxious about them. That's essentially more akin to OCD/paranoia than a spiritual belief.

@IHateWasps sorry that happened to you. That must have been horrible.

I don't trust people who don't like wasps. Just saying...

😂😂😂

Pagans can't save us, we are doomed, DOOMED!!

@BauhausOfEliott “when I say 'Good luck' to someone about their exams or a job interview, I do not actually believe that their luck will be any better as a result of me wishing them good luck.”

Oh no! you don’t think that they will carry your positivity and good wishes with them, helping them to enter an exam/interview in a better frame of my mind?

You don’t necessarily say “good luck” because you think you are casting literal magic, you say it because you believe your words have an impact on others, which they undoubtedly do. But at the end of the day - if your words have an impact, that has changed something hasn’t it?

I bet if you said instead, “look kid we both know you don’t stand a chance of getting any job but pecker up, you have to go to the interview otherwise you won’t get your UC” that would also be impactful.

Ah yes star trek, that wonderful documentary?
People are logical. Even if the logic is flawed, where they see patterns where they don't really exist and confuse correlation to causation for example
I would not agree that good logic isn't a goal. We now have technology and knowledge developed over many years, so we can stop blaming things on supernatural beings. E.g cancer, the person who got cancer didn't get it because they were bad and needed punishing by an all knowing being and will be cured if they repent or pray hard enough. Now in many cases we can operate or treat these things. If that isn't possible today we might be able to in the future. But blaming everything bad on the devil, bad energy, supernatural beings, doesn't help progress when we stop blaming these things we can work out what cause things and work out how to fix them. And people shouldn't give credit for the good things to praying, people need to take responsibility to make their lives better when they can. They should be nice to other people because they have morals not because they are scared they'll be struck down or sent to hell.
I'm an atheist but that doesn't make me a bad person, I still have morals and although I won't be actively rude to people with religious beliefs I do think some beliefs are harmful for them and others (wars, pray away the gay, prejudice against other religions, praying away cancer instead of treating it). I however have been told I'm going to hell, because I don't believe the bible to be anymore factual than harry potter or twilight
