Can Spells Back-Fire, Blow Back, Cancel One Another, Reverse On Me, or Harm Me?

Hello foxesstone,

Woo, that's a doozy! I'd put up some protection on yourself ASAP:

http://www.luckymojo.com/protectionspells.html

http://www.luckymojo.com/fierywall.html

I'd get you and all your family members into a sugar jar also, to start soothe all those raw feelings:

http://www.luckymojo.com/honeyjar.html

Incorporate Peaceful Family products into your work whenever you can, such as dressing the candles on the sugar jar with Peaceful Family oil:

http://www.luckymojo.com/peacefulhome.html

You could also order a Peaceful Family vigil candle from the MISC and get that burning:

http://missionaryindependent.org/candle-services.html

You could also order some Peace Water, put it into a little spritzer bottle, and start spritzing that in corners and in the bathroom to start calming everyone down:

http://www.luckymojo.com/peacewater.html

To hide yourself, first of all, make sure you ritually deploy any and all remnants from this enemy work you did: http://www.luckymojo.com/layingtricks.html

Also, Miss Athena suggested a useful trick above and I'll say it again here: Bay leaves cloak your work; put some in your shoes to hide your from prying spiritual eyes.

Lastly, if you haven't done so already, thoroughly cleanse yourself spiritually to take off any residue from that enemy work. I'd say use a 13 Herb Bath: http://herb-magic.com/13herb-bath-13.html

Good luck to you!

Thank you Sister Jean!

I taped all of our names to the bottom of our sugar jar.

I put all of our names in a honey jar.

I started burning some Fiery Wall of Protection.

I also started burning some stop gossip as I waited for your response just because I wanted to stop this from going any further.

I ordered a ton of dressed candles:
Fiery Wall of Protection
House Blessing
Cast Off Evil
Uncrossing

Whew

I'll order the peace water.

I have some 13 herb left over. I will start that tonight.

I don't recall if I have any thing left over from the enemy work. I don't think so.

Thank you so much!

Fingers crossed things get much better soon!

i am really distraught as i right this and am hoping someone can give me guidance.
I had a love spell casted by an AIRR member 2 months ago and was told it would be successful i just needed to have faith and have patience. in the mean time i thought i would learn to do tarot readings myself to check to see the progress of my spell just to keep myself in a good state of mind. But my target has started going out with another girl at work, or so i think. Also he seems to hate me now. We still dont talk but i can feel soo much anger from him. I would like to think maybe he doesnt even know whats going on but i know thats not true. I am getting positive dreams and i saw some positive signs and was really happy today but then i got home and my ex was there as he watches kids and he just started yelling and screaming at me. he was looking at my credit card bills and making accusations. He saw the payments i made to my rootworker and now is planning to tell everyone what i did. i dont know what he knows exactly but i been sitting here distressed and just feel like killing myself. Did my spell go wrong and back fire on me

Hello, serenity786

FIRST and FOREMOST, if you feel suicidal, please call this number IMMEDIATELY:

National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 1-800-273-8255

Honestly, I don't know what happened with the spell. We didn't perform it and there's no way of telling you on the forum what it going on. But, love spells do not "backfire".

I will tell you that magic and our behaviors must compliment each other. Him finding out about the Hoodoo work is a definite sign of resistance.

I am sorry that I don't have a clear definite answer for you because I don't know what your reading was or the spell

Please take care of yourself

I'm new to the site and figured this would be the perfect place to come for my problem. About 6 months ago I contacted a spell caster I think she worked with hoodoo voodoo from New Orleans I watched plenty of her videos and was impressed I needed a break up spell done on a couple that I thought was a toxic situation and I thought my reasons was justifiable but maybe too evil. She casted the spell on the waning moon and told me the spirits were working well. I noticed the couple started fighting more than 2 months later the guy that I was dating at the time we started to fight more all of a sudden I mean we fought but not almost everyday and I was concerned we fought for 3 months straight while the couple that I tried to break up were happy just recently we broke up and we no longer communicate I think the spell back fired on me and I lost my best friend and lover. I have been having the worst luck for months and idk where to go or what to do. I made a mistake by trying to break up the couple maybe they weren't as bad as I thought she was treating my friend bad.Sorry if this is too long or if this has already been discussed in another forum I need help.

Hello, Missbri1 ,

Spells don' backfire.

But, if your spell was not justified, then there could be problems

Now, if the spell was the correct thing to do IN YOUR HEART (and whether you were right or wrong) and your intentions were good, then I don't believe that this is the cause of your problems. When we say that spells are not justified, it means that you wish harmful intent for no good reason other than your own gratification. You did NOT do this. Instead, you were trying to help.

Therefore, I believe the cause of your fighting is stemming from something else

Wishing you the very best

take care

Hi everyone, hope you are all doing well.

I’m really glad I found this forum, because since yesterday I am very scared, and it’s making me a little sick.

I have been working on trying to manifest with the law of attraction a text message from someone, using videos on YouTube. And I fell on one that was talking about a Contact Spell (the one where you draw angel wings to represent air, and you write in blue that you want the person to contact you, fold the paper 3 times then place it under your phone). I did it twice not knowing anything about magic, and then starting reading on internet about backfire, black magic changing one’s free will and bad karma and now I’m just terrorised...

I imagine the worse like bad things happening to me or the people I care about, or for the spell to backfire in the way of the person hating me...

I teared both papers and threw them to the garbage, but I can’t help worrying and I was wondering if someone could possibly make me feel better... (the video was called “air element magick: call me , contact me spell)

Thank you so much... and sorry for being so dramatic, it’s just just it’s the first time, and I’ve already started to imagine the worst...

Maria21 --

Welcome to our forum, but please understand that this is a place frequented by those who use folk magic comfortably, and particularly those who work in the African-American Christian context of hoodoo, also known as conjure or rootwork.

We cannot judge for you the content of unknown Youtube videos you may have been influenced by or which may have frightened you. Your personality, spiritual inclinations, fears, hopes, and ways of working are all your own to determine and to implement. The laws or rules of your religion or spiritual modality, the beliefs you have about natural or cosmic laws -- all of these things are YOURS to explore, to experience, and to validate.

You may read the previous pages in this long thread to see what others have thought, said, and done, but in the end, your own experiences will teach you more than the anecdotes related by others.

Good luck to you.

catherineyronwode,

WELL PROTECTED IS THE KEY HERE.

I will have to agree that such person is well protected. Though I dont fancy the idea of mirror spells or reversing spells becauae bad people when they notice their stuff on you bounces back at them, they may go extra mile.

From experience, what kind of Protection work can qualify as "well protected" here?

Unread post by **catherineyronwode** » Thu Jul 12, 2018 9:42 pm

DannyN --

There are dozens of ways to protect oneself -- i would have to write a book on it to answer that question. Interestingly, one of the toughest forms of protection is when the mother or grandmother of a bad man prays and does spells on his bahalf. It is fairly common.

You might want to listen to the Hoodoo Rootwork Hour radio broadcast, for October 13, 2019, featuring Miss cat as the special guest (taking a break from her regular co-hosting duties). She talked about When Spells Go Bad, and covered many aspects of this subject.

It's worth a listen for anyone practicing hoodoo conjure, who may have ever slipped up or gotten unexpected results.

I had a former rootworker tell us that doing magic like tarot and occult will open doors to evil spirits.

Is that true ?

She just started magic and she wasn't professional, so It kind of confused me.

Unread post by **FreyaRose** » Tue Dec 17, 2019 3:03 pm

Hi Dukester89,

There is a lot of hype in white American culture, at least, stemming from the 80's "Satanic Panic" and beyond, where somehow there's a notion that you pick up one tarot card or look sideways at a pentacle, and now you're possessed by demons from head to toe.

I personally do not believe that's the case, and as one who went from the Christian church into tentatively studying the Occult (and learning Tarot!), I firmly believe that's a big myth based in fear. Tarot is a tool, and "the Occult," usually just means spiritual and esoteric topics. Books and tools aren't going to leap out and bite you unless you specifically go looking for darkness and work hard to draw it to you.

I do believe that when you begin working with Spirits, it's wise to protect yourself and make sure you know who you're talking to and what you're dealing with, but proceeding with clarity and caution doesn't mean that something is inherently dangerous. It just means you're using some sense while you're learning new things, just like learning to cook around fire, or learning to use a table saw.

Besides, Hoodoo is mostly practiced by Protestant Christians, so if it was evil, you'd think they would have noticed by now. Ha!

Hi there!

I secretly laughed inside when I realized that the glass reversal candles with black on the bottom were magically misleading. But, I then recalled that I may have have cursed myself by using one without proper knowledge in the beginning. Is there a proper way to correct this? It was a green and black reversal candle with the green on top

Toiyah2,

I'm not sure how you would have cursed yourself by burning the candle rightside up. The spell would have simply not reversed negative work back to the sender. If you would like to do a cleansing, you could do an Uncrossing bath.

Hello! I’m a beginner witch or a baby witch if you will and I had recently followed a “recipe” for a protection spell jar.

I made it to protect me from evil and harmful energy, however I didn’t notice that the herbs and essentials needed to be “cleansed” and only realized it after I had already sealed the cork in the jar with a white and black candle.

I don’t think it worked and I believe it backfired on me because I’ve been having severe migraines ever since.

I want to know if it is okay if I can open the jar and dispose of the contents, besides the clear quartz and picture I used, I need those, I’d also like to keep the jar.

Also here is a list of the things I used.
Pink salt
Pumpkin spice
Cedar
Nettle leaf
Mugwart
Black pepper
Basil
Rosemary
Bay leafs
Thumbtacks
A picture of me
Clear quarts
And incense smoke named Nag Champa. I added the incense myself and impulsively I also only had Nag Champa on hand ://

If you can critique me or give me advice and let me know if it is okay to unseal the jar for my photo and the clear quartz I’d appreciate it sm

Thank you!!

Unread post by **catherineyronwode** » Fri Mar 27, 2020 4:10 pm

Remiy,

I have no idea what that "recipe" is, but it is not very traditional in the African-American hoodoo tradition. It looks like what i call "throw in everything."

I will comment on the ingredients:

Pink salt -- why pink? just use table salt.
Pumpkin spice -- this is usually used as a simple shortcut or money spells, not protection.
Cedar -- good for protetion of the home.
Nettle leaf -- good for taking off jinxes.
Mugwart -- spelled Mugwort (wort is old English for "root"); generally used to enhance psychic abilities.
Black pepper -- good for protection from evil.
Basil -- good for protecting the home from evil.
Rosemary -- good for strength of women and guarding the home.
Bay leafs -- good for wisdom, a calm mind, invisibility from attack, and protection
Thumbtacks -- used in witch bottles, but this does not fully resemble a witch bottle; see below.
A picture of me -- no reason to put YOURSELF in a bottle with tacks, nails, needles, or pins.
Clear quarts -- healing stone but not traditional in old-school hoodoo.
And incense smoke named Nag Champa. I added the incense myself and impulsively I also only had Nag Champa on hand: -- okay

So it looks to me like whoever gave you this spell had confused a witch bottle with a protection spell. They are similar, but different. For a witch bottle, you would have used sharp items, nails, pins, needles, broken glass or mirrors, broken razor blades, taks, and so forth, plus urine and a hair. In hoodoo, such a bottle made on a kown enemy (with their hair and urine) will destroy them. Such a bottle is usually buried in the fireplace or around the chimney.

Putting your own photo in with tacks is what gave you the headaches. The spell did not "backfire," you just jinxed yourself!

Undo the jar and either burn the contents or throw it into running water. You an save the quartz and the glass jar, but wash them off.

Read this thread from the beginning for a lot of great discussion from experienced practitioners on the topic of how, when or if spells "back-fire" and stick around here and you can learn a lot more authentic spells than that one, if hoodoo is your interest.

Another place to read more on the topic of "back-firing" spells is on this web page i wrote:

Hello, all.

Gotta question and it’s taken some courage for me to ask because I’m afraid of appearing foolish, but I think it’s a good question and I really wanna know!

Awhile back, I worked a free revenge spell. It’s the first spell that appears on this page: https://www.luckymojo.com/spells/black/ ... pells.html.

On the last day of the working, as I was using the hammer and really venting all my spleen into the blows, I found that the hammer was bouncing and so took hold of the figure with my left hand and as the blows were falling from my right hand, I smashed my left thumb. HARD. The pain was exquisite. However, I didn’t miss a beat – on impulse I tried to bring the pain and injury into the spell, so I whispered, “My sacrifice!” and went on hammering the figure. I finished the working per instructions. As I was walking away from the cemetery, I drew off my left glove – I had been wearing some leather gloves – and boy, I REALLY smashed my thumb. It was bleeding.

It's now several weeks later and my thumb is still black, blue and sore, though it’s getting better every day. In case you’re wondering, I do feel that I’ve had satisfying results from the working.

Any thoughts on what happened to my thumb during a working and/or the way I handled it?

Sincerely,

Rapacia

Rapacia,

Welcome to the lucky mojo forum. I had to find a place to place your post because we do not allow the creation on new threads here, as we have thousands of topics, and we are trying to keep the place orderly.

Okay, so harming yourself while doing a spell is generally an omen that the person against whom you are working is protected or on the defensive in the spiritual realm. You went in thinking magic would be your edge, but the person fought back. Sometimes this happens because the person is a strong fighter, sometimes the protection was placed on the person by a relative, often a mother or grandmother.

Your quick thinking was brilliant -- "My sacrifice" indeed. Good for you.

But this enemy may still have a few tricks on the back burner, so be careful.

More on SMASHED THUMB DURING ROOTWORK

Hello, all.

First, I have to say that receiving a reply to my first post from The Woman Herself was thrilling. Thank you, Miss Cat. And your reply was fascinating to me and very educational. Many, many thanks to you and ALL you do. I’ve been following your work for years and your reply was a real treat.

I hope that you might have a little time to read this post as well, which is sort of a sequel to the first. If you’re able to reply, I suspect that you might give me more of the same advice that you did the first time, but I’d still like to hear anything new you might have to add and hope that maybe my experience might be of some interest to you and other forum readers.

This is a rather long post, but I see no way to pare it down. I do intend to submit further posts on other topics in future, but don’t see any of them being this long, so I am giving you mental hugs in advance for your patience.

There was more that happened during that last day of work. In fact, I’m regarding that work as part work, part INCIDENT, as you’ll see.

Alert: run on sentence ahead. So, I finished hammering the figure while my thumb was absolutely killing me, but spent no time whining, just kept going. THEN. As I was digging a hole in which to bury the figure, (near a large interestingly-shaped rock near a tree, but not in actual grave dirt – that I know of), and I apologize in advance for the graphic nature of the experience I convey to you now and you have my leave to laugh if you must, I became aware that I was about to experience explosive diarrhea and there was no time to find a restroom, no time even to respectfully remove myself from the graveyard proper and relieve myself at the edge of the cemetery. I did keep digging for several seconds until I realized that I was about to lose control of my bodily functions in spite of my best efforts. I hope you’ll overlook any possible poor judgment here, taking into consideration the fact that as I was trying to finish this work, I was in considerable pain and trauma from my smashed and bleeding thumb.

So again, as before with the pain and injury, I tried to make the best of this unfortunate situation and BRING IT IN to the work; I thought, I’ll finish this hole, place the figure inside, and then poo into the hole on top of the figure, which though undignified, actually sounded pretty enjoyable as this was a revenge spell, after all. As it happened, I was unable to wait even long enough for that. The situation in my intestinal tract had reached critical mass and I was forced to drop my drawers then and there before the hole was even finished. I won’t go into detail about what a messy horrid episode this was for me or how glad I was that my car, which contained a roll of paper towels, was not TOO far away from the site; suffice it to say that I was deeply grateful that I was the only person in the cemetery, thank Jesus.

So, I took care of myself and finished digging the hole, placing the figure in the deepest part of the hole, then shoveling MY PERSONAL CONCERNS right on top of the figure, then replacing the dirt, tidying up the site and leaving the cemetery. As I drove away it did occur to me that perhaps including my personal concerns with the figure I’d been abusing for nine days was probably not a great idea, but I felt there was no help for it at that point and needed to dress my thumb.

From what I learned from your reply to my last post, I take my explosive diarrhea as another omen that my target is really fighting back and/or is protected in some way. This is one of my first experiments with this type of work and though parts of it went to shite, pardon my English, your explanation of why this can happen is nonetheless fascinating to me.

My target may very well be a strong fighter, I see this as a possibility in her. Also, what you said about protection, typically from a mother or grandmother, is very interesting. My own mother is very close to my brother and I, constantly praying for us and there was a time many years ago when I was on the “periphery” of a black magic operation performed by someone else (not hoodoo and a story for another time) and though my mother was many hundreds of miles away, she called me shortly after this occurred, frantically telling me that she had a sense that I was in danger and wanted to hear my voice.
She’s very tuned in to her children and I have always believed that her prayers protect my brother and I, so it’s not hard for me to believe that my target’s mother may be the same sort of protector. An item which I find of interest is that the target’s mother is full-blooded Nez Perce. Also, the target’s mother lives with her.

Another interesting item – after the working, as I was nursing my thumb with ice, I was talking with my mother. NOT about the working – I talk with NO ONE about that, only with my friends here in the forum. She knows that I enjoy cemeteries – I have for years and go there once in a while to do rubbings and take photos and what not and now to work roots on folks. But I hadn’t been in a cemetery for awhile prior to this working. Again, my mother knew NOTHING about this working. Rootwork is something she would not approve of at all. But out of the blue, she said, “Sometime we should take you to the __ ____ cemetery! You’d like that”. I thought it was interesting that she brought up the fact that she thought I’d enjoy a particular cemetery not knowing that I HAD JUST BEEN TO THIS VERY CEMETERY. This is the level of this woman’s mother-radar.

Question 1: Am I correct in thinking that according to African-American hoodoo reasoning, my mother will still be able to pray for and protect my brother and I when she's no longer in bodily form?

I hope this long post hasn’t been too harrowing. And your reply to my first post was very helpful and I appreciate it very much, truly.

In conclusion – I’ve been devouring these forum pages and learning a lot. What I’ve learned as it applies to my situation is that 1) you’re right – I’d do well to be careful with this particular target and 2) a revenge spell may not be the way to go with this one. I say that not out of fear of spiritual counter-attack but because now that I’ve had time to climb out of my tree of rage I see that another approach might be better. I am truly disgusted with the target, but think that another approach might be wise.

I write now because I’m curious to know if you have any further thoughts on all this.

One last thing: As an adjunct to this “incident”, the target is someone I work with and the target’s second-in-command is someone I DO wish to do some revenge and/or justice work on soon. Since I’m teleworking, I have no access to this person’s personal concerns. So, I found a photo of her online and printed it off as it’s better than nothing. All I had was the image of her head and face. I cut it out of the page I printed and it was about as big as a postage stamp. This is embarrassing, but I’ve misplaced it/lost it. It HAS to be somewhere in my bedroom but I cannot find it anywhere, even after moving furniture. I’m not ready to do the work yet, so don’t yet need the image, but I don’t like that it’s floating around in my bedroom and the fact that I can’t find it. It’s as though it’s vanished into thin air.

My question 2 is this: is there any work that could be done that would “neutralize” this weak personal concern of this target that seems to be in my bedroom but I’m unable to locate? FYI – my bedroom is very orderly, so this isn’t a case of being unable to find something in a pigsty.

Sincerely and with very great respect,

Rapacia

Rapacia:

1) Belief in a mother's protection after death is not exclusive to hoodoo; it is found in many cultures. Also there are mothers who are incapable of providing such protection, regardless of culture.

2( Well, the Catholics among us ask Saint Anthony to find lost things. I have used it, not being a Catholic, but with aith, and it worked for me. I also have used pendulum dowsing and that worked as well. To neutralize it, you would need to have it in hand.

Wasnt sure where to ask this question...but lately, like the last month or so, ive been feeling like i have been getting bad luck or the opposite of the work im trying to do. I almost feel like not doing any rootwork or candlework because its giving me the opposite affect or bad luck. What do you think it could be?

RisenRaven · Unread post by **RisenRaven** » Tue Mar 02, 2021 12:42 am

Hi Loveli,

Sorry to hear you seem to be having a rough time. I recommend this page, and I’m specifically linking you to the section about spells “backfiring.” The short version is hoodoo spells either work or don’t; they don’t backfire. https://www.luckymojo.com/spells/real.html#10

As for your own situation, you may need to consult a rootworker for a reading. (Many people have difficulty reading for themselves.) Here are the readers at AIRR that Lucky Mojo recommends. http://www.readersandrootworkers.org/wi ... ootworkers

You could also read the sections of the boards on cleansing and uncrossing and perhaps undertake those and see if they help, and/or work with Clarity products. https://www.luckymojo.com/clarity.html

Best of luck to you!

Loveli · Unread post by **Loveli** » Tue Mar 02, 2021 5:17 am

Thanks! Good to know nothing is backfiring.
I did have a reading by one of those rootworkers and it was very positive, so the signs and movement im getting are confusing to me. For years these spells worked on this situation, but now nothing is working. Im hoping it will just take more time than im used to.

Unread post by **JayDee** » Tue Mar 02, 2021 2:49 pm

Hi Loveli,

If I was receiving signs of bad luck that was abnormal to what I normally experience I would read that as a sign to do protection work and cleansing work on yourself. In hoodoo we do not have the concept of backfire or the rule of 3 that others practice. Rather the work happens or it fails. However, if you notice a pattern of issues you may be crossed, and that is effecting your work. Similar to you I also get signs real fast when someone is working on me, a former colleague tried to do a freezer jar on me and I used these steps to break it so my work can be successful.

1. Cleanse the house- my favorite is Chinese floor wash: https://www.luckymojo.com/chinesewash.html
This will eliminate the energy or work in the house.

2. Cleanse your body with a strong uncrossing bath, my favorite is the 13 herb: http://www.herbmagic.com/13-herb-spirit ... -days.html
This removes it from your body and spirit.

3. Protecting you: wear protection and pray protection: Great oil: https://www.luckymojo.com/fierywall.html
If you have a relationship with St Michael this oil works great with his petition. Wear it on your body.

4. Spray your house and body wit Florida water when you experience this issue: https://www.luckymojo.com/floridakanangawater.html
This is know for cleansing spiritually.

Now you should be able to continue your work without issue.

Here is a forum topic related to this work: am-i-crossed-jinxed-hexed-cursed-if-so- ... 7-300.html

I wish you the best and greatest luck!

Hello,

I have a question....

If you do work on someone ie honey jar and Vigil candles etc for one person is it possible for you to start to get alot of attention from someone else? I have a situation at the moment where all the attention I want my target to be giving me I’m getting from someone else. It’s like my rootwork is working on the wrong person.

It may be because this person is someone that I have been involved with in the past but the timing was just weird. I have seen alot of signs and have had positive readings about the work I have done so I may just be over thinking it but I thought I would ask anyway.

Any knowledge on this would be appreciated.

Thanks

Neeks7,

Interesting topic to discuss, this thread is filled with many of them. In my experience with hoodoo rootwork is either it works or it does not. There is no boomerang effect where the spell suddenly does the opposite of what you asked. Now in reversing work the person sends it back but that is different than your question.

This concept is illustrated in the book of Matthew 7:10 when he asks if you ask (God) for a fish, does he give you a snake? Of course not.

Make sure the work you are doing is focused on the person, your intent is clear, you are not mixing up or doing multiple spells at the same time, and mixing your energy.

Hi Jaydee,

Thanks for coming back to me. My intent in my work is very clear. However I am talking to this other person. Initially was just to take my mind of my target and to stop me feeling sorry for myself but I’m wondering if some of my energy has rubbed off on the wrong person.

Like I said previously I have had great readings saying my work is working and I should be patient and maybe it may just be a coincidence but I wanted to ask the question in case someone had any ideas. Thank you for you input.

Neeks7,

I agree with JayDee -- His quote from the Book of Matthew is SPOT-ON.

If you ask for sweetness from a difficult person or an ex -- let's call him Tom -- God does not suddenly go "oops" and send you sweetness from Harry by mistake. I mean, God knows the difference between Tom and Harry.

However, sometime God might say, "Neek7, i gotta tell ya, sweeheart, Tom is really a shit on wheels and he's going to hell in a handcart and i think he has given his soul over to wicked ways, and in my opinion there is nothing in him that you or i can sweeten at this time because right now he is bitter to the core ... so let me show you a couple of other nice guys, 'cause i hate to see a child of mine crying out for love, and i do so want you to be happy. Look, here's Harry, He's nice. Why don't you give him a try? If he's not your type, just ask again and i'll send another sweet guy your way, okay?"

This is why we call God a father or a mother, according to the nature of our beliefs, culture, customs, and personal gnosis -- for, like Jesus said --

7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?

10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

Hi there

I have tried sageing and fasting and praying, but my issues continue. My house burned down on the 16th.

Was this spiritual or divine?

What products do you recommend?

Hi HappinessRules,

I am sorry to hear of your house fire. That must have been terrible.

If you want a psychic to read on the cause of it -- whether it was an accident or there were spiritual or diine causes -- or if your issues continue, you may need a reading from members of the Association of Independent Readers and Rootworkers, to understand the source of the issue and the proper remedy.
https://www.readersandrootworkers.org/w ... ootworkers

While many people turn to sage bundles to remove negative energy, that is not always the correct remedy. Many people are allergic to sage. Other sellers may mix in other green herbs and grasses as well that irritate.
It is better to use handcrafted incense and washes specifically made for the issue you are having trouble with. Lucky Mojo Curio Co has large selections that cover almost every possible situation.

Incenses - https://www.luckymojo.com/mojocatincense.html
Baths/Floor Washes - https://www.luckymojo.com/mojocatbaths.html

There are also spell kits which are a value for items contained in them https://www.luckymojo.com/mojocatspells.html

Best of luck,
Mr. Christopher

HappinessRules --

A house fire can often seen like a spiritual attack or divine displeasure, but there are many other causes, such as faulty wiring, unsafe use of candles, a defective flue, deliberate arson, children playing with matches, police or military action, or a larger regional issue such as a massive wildfire.

You have my sympathy -- it is tragic to lose things to fire.

Personally i doubt that fasting, praying, or smudging with Sage caused your house fire and I second what Mr Christopher said: to set your mind at ease, get a reading from a reputable psychic. You can also sign up for our next free radio readings on January 8th, 2022 -- and someone will help you place this event in context.

By the way, you changed your post after i moved it into this thread, and i changed it back. You have already been given 5 board warnings for trying to change or delete posts, and for other difficulties with our terms. Please don't do this again. It wastes our time and makes for incoherent threads.

Eventually I will have a clay cursing doll in my hands for a "certain person", but until then is it possible I could use a lemon freezer spell on the "certain person" to shut them the eff up?

If I freeze them in the lemon, will that stop any effect on the clay doll of that person?

Thanks in advance.

Dragonflyma ,

Will a lemon freezer spell shut the person up?

Yes if that is the petition to freeze them and stop them from interfering with your life. Place a petition or a photo of the person in the lemon that is cut open, add Alum to silence their mouth, other herbs like Poppy Seed to cause confusion. Pin it shut, stick it in a jar of vinegar then freeze it to put them in a state of sourness and silenced from you.

Alum: https://www.herbmagic.com/alum-powder.html
Poppy: https://www.herbmagic.com/poppy-seed.html

Will a lemon freezer spell stop the effects of the work you do when you make a clay doll spell on the person?

I do not see why, if the intent is still to cause the person to be out of your life and miserable. On the other hand, it certainly would cause issues if your purpose was to reconcile with them.

=====

By the way, clay dolls are very nice to work with. They can be used alone, in mirror boxes, in sour jars, and in freezer spells, with r without immersion in a jar of liquid. You can learn how to make them from Miss Cat's book Hoodoo Dolls and Effigies and her one-hour online class on the sbject. AIRR members also craft dolls for clients and may also perform such spells on their behalf.

I wrote a petition paper to “banish all love rivals”, dotted with banishing oil, filled with alum and lemon verbena, and froze in alum water (accompanied by prayer of course). To banish any potential love interests my SO may have, and I guess my line of thinking with the alum was to get them to stop talking to him/to each other.

Did I freeze out my own banishing spell from working? Am I doing this right?

Unread post by **catherineyronwode** » Mon Jan 09, 2023 1:08 am

dogsofthebins --

You ask about freezing out your own banishing spell, but this comes under the general topic of one spell negating another, or "did one of my spells undo another," so i am moving it to the better topic thread.

The question about whether form -- a freezer spell -- un-makes function -- a banishing spell -- is something that a lot of folks ask me about. The answer is no, form does not undo function unless the form of the spell or its intended outcome is part of the petition.

For instance, if the petition was, "i freeze you in your tracks," but you set the petition on fire, or if the petition was, "i condemn you to burn in Hell," but you threw the petition in a river, then the form of the spell would be in opposition to the wording of the petition -- and hence a logical impossibility.

But otherwise, i see no problem here except for inadequate training and hence self-doubt. The motto, "Be sure you're right, then go ahead" applies to magic as well as to military campaigns. Another good rule of thought is "measure twice, cut once" -- that is, be sure you are doing the right work in the best way before you start.

Good luck.

dogsofthebins-

A terrific idea in order to ensure the success ratio of any working is to have a divination before hand. This way will show any possible issues and from my experience working on other people one way or the other requires even more so a proper reading as to eliminate any sort of doubt.

If you are too anxious and therefore cannot practice divination yourself in regard to this subject, it is recommended to hire a short reading at the very least on such a working and that should give you better prospects and a boost of courage.

dogsofthebins,

In response to the comment by BalkanDiviner, a great place to get a reading is from Hoodoo Psychics or AIRR.

I have a question before I begin some work because depending on the answer, I might not need to do certain work.

I have laid tricks in my love's home for us. The readings have said not to worry about someone who was around him before and we are getting closer as each day passes. I am getting the items together to protect us as a family, including protections from attempts to cause chaos or harm our relationship as well. (This forum is full of such wonderful advice.)

My questions are:

1. If I want to do as the above says and I put Uncrossing crystal water in his shampoo, body wash, etc. to take off anything from anyone else including them tying his nature, will it undo the love and proection work I have done?

2. Or should I just state my intention of removing anything anyone else has put on him as I add it?

3. Or because he's ingesting my urine, menstrual blood, and sexual fluids daily, is that not something to be concerned with?

Thank you!

Answering my own question here. I scrolled back in this thread and read again. It appears since I did it correctly and set my intentions while doing the work, the new set of intentions won't "undo" it.

Unread post by **JayDee** » Fri Apr 12, 2024 8:01 am

MrsSchaeffer2020 ,

To answer in case other people also have questions similar. When you do work it is important to have an intention and speak that intention as you do the work, then the work affects those you called into the work. "I uncross John Doe from all spells, incantations, and love hexes put on him by known and unknown love rivals trying to steal my man, AMEN".

Saying I remove all magic from John Doe, would even remove yours.
