  84. Ask a new question:
    Question:


    1. Is energy something I gain by performing spells and mediation? (top)
      Spells require energy to cast them. Prior to casting a spell one will need to gather energy and then redirect the energy into the spell to cast it.

    2. Are all of the spells on the site bad? (top)
      The spells on this site are not all bad. It is up to the person casting the spell as to what the outcome is. It depends on the intent of the caster. There are some spells that have been written that are not real. It is up to you to decipher which ones are real or not. Anything that sounds far-fetched usually is a fake one.

    3. Are love spells dangerous? (top)
      They can be. Some backfires include obsession and depression.

    4. Are love spells for beginners who know the basics? (top)
      I would not mess with Love Spells because it forces one to do something agenst their own will. When mess with will there will be consequences. I would suggest maybe having a soul mate brought near that way your not affecting 1 person.

    5. Are the spells on this website real or fake? (top)
      Many of the spells and rituals here on SOM are real castings that will manifest actual results, however some of the spells, rituals, and posts contained within our site pages are not "real". These spells and rituals are considered fantasy castings due to their fictional structure and desired result. They even have their own section of the spell books. The best thing one can do is to use common sense, intelligence and maturity when researching any aspect of the craft. Be sure to cross reference all information on magical practice with reliable sources, this will help reduce confusion and misinformation being spread. The research suggested will also help one to differentiate between real magical practice and fantasy or faux magic.

    6. Are the trick spells real? (top)
      Some are, and some aren't. You have to look through them and apply logic. If it seems unlikely and impossible, like manipulating the elements, it probably is fake.

    7. Are there any protection spells? (top)
      There is a whole section of Protection Spells here on this site at http://www.spellsofmagic.com/spells/spiritual_spells/protection_spells/page.html

    8. Are there any spells to change the sex of a person? (top)
      No, you can not change your physical self like this through magic alone.

    9. Are there spells which can change your age? (top)
      There are spells on this site which claim to have the ability to change the age of the caster, however, these are filed appropriately under the fantasy section of the site. As with anything in the realms of fantasy, they are present solely for the purpose of entertainment, and not as a true reflection of the capabilities of magic.

    10. Are your spells weaker when you are sick? (top)
      Yes, when your energy is down then you also have less energy to give a spell. You also don't want to use all your energy to cast a spell when you are sick because it might make you more ill.

    11. Can I change the color of my eyes using spells? (top)
      A practitioner may use a glamor spell to change the color of their irises. Though bare in mind that this is only temporary and an illusion. Ultimately spells can not be used to make permanent changes to your physique.

    12. Can I die while doing a spell? (top)
      One could die when doing a spell, but it would not be because you are casting a spell. You could die of any number of medical issues, you could be struck by a car or by lightening, etc. But all of these have nothing at all with doing the spell. Spells are not going to kill you.

    13. Can I publish my own spells on this site? (top)
      Yes. To add spells to the site, you must be council in a coven. Some covens, such as Spell Casters, automatically place members in this position. Once council, you can add spells to that covens spellbook, and thus the site.

    14. Can a person cast spells in the Afternoon? (top)
      Yes you can cast your spell anytime it feels right to you. You may want to check you calendar for moon phases. Moon phases have a magical effect on spells depending on the spells.

    15. Can any or all spells be cast by voice alone? Do you know if theres a book I can from this site that can help me study spells written to teach for casting by voice? (top)
      Most spells are cast by using one's voice in some capacity. However, spells work when aspects such as focus, visualization, intent, and energy manipulation and direction are applied to the magical working.

    16. Can i try any spell even when i don't know any magic yet? (top)
      Knowing how magic works and how to cast spells greatly increase one's ability to preform a successful magical casting. Those new to the craft may follow a spell without any other magical knowledge or practice and still obtain results, however research prior to casting a spell or other magical working will increase the chances for a successful magical casting.

    17. Can spells be cast in God's name and does he give us the power to do so? (top)
      The answer to this question depends on one's understanding of magic and their personal beliefs. There are many who consider themselves to be Christian Witches and whom believe that their god gives them the ability to cast spells. One must keep in mind that there are many denominations of Christianity and some, but not all, believe that magic or spell casting goes against the teachings of the Bible. There are however, books written about The Power of the Psalms and other forms of Christian magic such as The 6th and 7th Books of Moses, The Red Church, and Gypsy Witch Penn. Dutch Pow Wows and Hexes.

    18. Can you become pregnant from the sex spells? (top)
      No, you cannot physically become pregnant from a spell unless sexual actions between you and another person occur.

    19. Can you do too many spells? (top)
      You can. You could use so much of your personal energy that you feel drained and ill when casting too many spells at one time. Or your spells might fail because your focus becomes too widely spread for the same reason. Try spreading your spellwork out over a longer period of time for better results.

    20. Can you go to hell for doing magic? (top)
      Only if that is what you believe. Magick is not a religious practice itself, however many religions use it. Spells are the same as prayers, also magic is another word for marical.

    21. Can you help me find the ingredients for the legendary spells to bring the dead back to life known as Revival and Restoration meant to next bring back the physical body of the dead person to the waiting Spirit after a Ressurrection Spell was cast. Then the final spell Restoration to bring back the personality and full memory of the being. Please use whatever magic you can to help me teach you more legendary spells. My true identity is to be kept sacred. (top)
      Spells such as the one inquired about are farce, not real, or fake. Once a person is dead they cannot be brought back to life with magic.

    22. Can you see a familiar or spirit that you summoned using spells in this website? (top)
      Generally spirit entities can be sensed but not seen. Some individuals do seem to have the ability to see such entities, but not everyone has this ability.

    23. Can you use spells over the phone? (top)
      Any form of communication may carry the energy generated by a spell or other magical working. The directed energy may travel via the phone or other communication device. One should cleanse these devices often as well as utilize protection spells and rituals to prevent negative energy from being transmitted through these devices.

    24. Candle are required for many spells. Can a candle be put out and relit or do they have to burn out by themselves? (top)
      There are two main ways to work with candles while casting a spell. The first is to burn an anointed/charged candle completely or until the candle burns itself out naturally. You can snuff the candle out and relight it if you need to or want to. Some candle spells are preformed over several consecutive nights/days where the candle is only burned for a specific period of time at each sitting. The other main way to use a candle in casting is to light the candle after it is anointed/charged and then after more energy is raise by letting it burn, you blow the candle out. The most common spell preformed this way is at a Birthday. The candles on the cake are lit, energy is raised as they burn in conjunction with the singing of the song Happy Birthday, and then as the Birthday girl/boy continues to think of their wish they blow the candles out.

    25. Could a human cast these spells? (top)
      Yes if they understand how to cast a magical working.

    26. Do I always have to cast a circle when I do spells? (top)
      No you do not have to cast a circle to preform spell work. A circle creates a protective wall around you. It also helps to contain the energy you raise so that it can be released through the cone of power. So a circle is a helpful creation, but not a necessity.

    27. Do I need to meditate before doing a spell? (top)
      Yes

    28. Do all of these spells work? (top)
      No. Not all of these spells are written down with the propper process, since other members post spells in their coven and don't really know much on magick.

    29. Do diet and weight loss spells work? (top)
      Sadly there is no way to lose weight other than through proper diet, portion control, and exercise. Using a spell will not magically make your unwanted pounds disappear.

    30. Do enchantment spells work? (top)
      That depends on several different things. What sort of enchantment are you trying to do? What are you trying to enchant? How knowledgeable and skilled are you at magic? There is no simple answer to the question as you asked it.

    31. Do fairy spells really work? (top)
      If you are referring to spells that claim to turn you into a fairy, then no. However, in some paths and practices the Fae or fairies are believed to be a class of nature spirits that the practitioner can work with or invoke during ritual workings.

    32. Do flying spells work? (top)
      There is no such thing. No spell will allow you to fly, as it is physically impossible.

    33. Do ghost or spirits walk freely on Halloween? (top)
      Ghosts walk freely throughout the year. However, it is thought that the veil between the physical world and the spirit realm is thinnest at this time of year and therefore spirits are more apt to enter the physical world around Halloween.

    34. Do spells need to stay in the language they were written in or can they be translated into another language? (top)
      Spells can be translated into any language. They may be preformed in any language and do not need to remain in the language they were written in.

    35. Do spells work? (top)
      Spells will work if you understand how and why magic works at all, and if you do the work to learn the necessary skills to cast spells successfully. Some spells on this site will never work as they are fantasy spells. And no spell is ever guaranteed to work 100% of the time.

    36. Do time traveling spells work? (top)
      There are no working spells to travel through time.

    37. Do we have the ability to create our own great spells by using magic arts? (top)
      Experienced practitioners often write their own spells. It is a skill one obtains over time through study and practice of the craft. Once one understands how and why a magical working is cast the practitioner can then begin to make variations or modifications to a preexisting ritual, spell, or other casting. With enough knowledge and skill one can then begin creating their own magical workings from scratch.

    38. Do weather spells work? (top)
      Spells to control the weather or to make it do something it normally wouldn't, such as snow in the tropics, will not work.

    39. Do weight gain spells work? (top)
      Sadly there is no way to gain weight other than through proper diet, portion control, and exercise. Using a spell will not magically make you gain weight.

    40. Do wish spells work? (top)
      It depends on the individual spell. If the wish spell has fantasy elements, then it is likely that it will not work.

    41. Do you have to be 13 or older for the spells to work? (top)
      No you don't. There are no age restrictions on when a person is able to work magic. But you do have to be 13 or older to be a member of this site.

    42. Do you have to memorize the spells? (top)
      No, but be sure you know the spell well enough that you are not stumbling through it or having to focus on reading rather than the spell itself.

    43. Does Christmas boost powers like Halloween? (top)
      It can if you make the connection and give it power.

    44. How can I view the spells I favourited? (top)
      Go to your profile page. Just above your name will be a bar that has tabs labelled: Profiles; Photos; Favorites; Friends; History, Wish List. Click on the "Favorites" tab. This page is section in 3 - Spells; Articles; Forum Posts (if you have any of them favourited. Then, simply, click on the spell you have as a favourite.

    45. How can you become a wizard and will the spells work better if you're a wizard? (top)
      A wizard is simply one name for someone who uses magic. You become one by studying the fundamentals of magic and mastering the basic skills necessary to perform spellwork. It is the hard work and study that will make you better, not what you choose to call yourself.

    46. How do I add spells to this website? (top)
      An account must be ranked council or higher in a site coven to add spells to the spell book. The Spellcaster coven auto excepts coven members and places every account at a council position so that the account may add spells to the coven's spell book.

    47. How do I add spells? (top)
      To add spells you must be a council member of your coven or above. Your coven's homepage will have a "SpellBooks" section. Click the link that says view. Here you will have spells, rituals, or videos option. Click on the link that says view after the spells section. Administrators will have the option here to add, delete, or edit spells.

    48. How do I cast these spells? (top)
      You must learn to cast in order to cast a spells. Start with meditation and chakra work. Then move on to simple castings, such as a circle and shielding. Read as much as you can about the different forms of casting as well, such as candle magic. Visit Newbie central to help you get started as well.

    49. How do I find spells I've marked as favorites? (top)
      Go to your profile and click the favorites tab.

    50. How do I know if my spells have been viewed? (top)
      There is no way to tell whether your spells have been viewed. Remember too that f you posted them in your coven's spellbook only the members of your coven have the ability to see those spells.

    51. How do I tell what ranking spells are? (top)
      Spells which have been ranked will have stars associated with the spell. The highest ranking is 5 stars. However, the spell rankings should not be taken seriously as anyone can rank a spell. You'll find many spells on here with high rankings which will never work or are sheer fantasy.

    52. How do I write my own spells, and how do I know if they worked effectively? (top)
      How to Write your Own Spells- First you need to consider what kind of spell you want to write. Will it be a rain spell, a protection spell, or maybe a healing spell? Once you've gotten down what kind of spell you want to do, consider your intent behind it. Do you want to make it rain because the plants are drying up? Do you know someone who is struggling and needs some protection? Or perhaps you want to help heal someone who is sick? Dig deep and really feel out the reasons behind why you want to do this kind of spell. You should ask yourself- Do I really need to cast this spell? Make sure your spell isn't going to harm others. Is it going to take away free will from someone? If your intentions are pure and not out of spite or hate, then you can proceed. The next thing you are going to wanna do is really consider if you want to use tools. If you do, what kinds of tools will you need? Every tool has an energy you can add to a spell, so consider them very carefully. At this time you may also wish to consider the use of herbs or stones as well, as they too are a type of tool. Remember that if you feel you don't need a tool, then don't use one. Once you know what materials you are going to use, if you desire to use any at all, you can move on to a moon phase, or a day of the week, colors, gods and goddesses etc... Or you can choose not to use one at all. Now is the time to also consider, how fast do you want the spell to work, and what exactly you want the outcome to be. Now comes the fun part. You have all the basic criteria down. You can now start working on the actual writing of the spell. Remember that when you write your own spells, you put your own energy into them, and these will work better because of that. (This same technique can also be used for rewriting other spells that you may find). Once you have the spell written you are ready to plan a basic outline for casting. Here's one you can use to help you (this is based on the use of a candle, and remember this is only an outline, that means it's just here to give you a rough idea) 1/ Casting the spell on the day and in the moon that is needed 2/ Annointing a candle (of which colour you would have found out in the step above) with oil and herbs (which you also found out in the step above). 3/ Then lighting the candle and saying a rhyme, chant or verse to the god or goddess you are calling upon statung exactly what you want the outcome of the spell to be. 4/ Putting your hands over the candle (not so you burn yourself) focus your energies into the candle envisioning them as a bright white light which will power the spell. 5/ Then you have the choice of blowing the candle out a burrying the remaining or letting it burn down completely which will send the spell out into the universe. 6/ Finish the spell by saying: With harm to none, So mote it be. (or something along these lines) You should write the whole spell out as above exactly how you plan on casting it, so you have it in front of you and there will be no mistakes when it comes to casting it for real. Don't forget to cast your circle before the spell, or remove it afterwards.Just make sure you are working in a clean area and cleanse the room of negativity before hand by sprinkling some salt water around and keeping a bowl of salt in the room to absorb negative energies. Smudging is also a good idea! Dont forget most spells unless specified in it will take anything up to 21 days to manifest although most work quickly if the need is great. How to make them work- Once you have the Spell you want written up and ready to go. Look back and plan out the day based off your correspondence data that you want to cast the spell on. If it?s a full moon, then whenever the next full moon may be, or if it?s a Saturday Night, then the next Saturday night that you can work with undisturbed. For those who cast circles, you will be casting a circle, so follow the way that you normally do so. The more practice you get, and depending on the type of spell you are working, you won?t need the circle all the time. For these purposes though, we will use one. Make sure all your tools for the spell are on the altar and ready to go. You can bring the spell into the circle with you, you?ll want to take notes on the feelings and impressions you get after the spell is done. Do a quick double check and make sure everything is where it needs to be. If you like to mark out your circle do so, otherwise go ahead and cast the circle. You?re going to want to go ahead and raise energy once the elements and deity (if you chose to invoke them) have been invoked. You can raise energy by several means eg: Through singing, drumming, chanting, dancing and several other methods. Once you feel the energy is raised to a point where it can?t be raised anymore, then this is when you will focus and do the spell. While you are going through the motions of speaking the words, or tying knots in cords, etc, you are going to want to really see yourself doing it all in your mind?s eye. See the spell as being completed with every step you do, until you are finished. Once you are finished take a moment and really see in your mind what you want to have happen.( Remember the more energy, will and focus you put into a spell the more likely it will take effect.) Focus on this a moment then release the idea. Let it leave you and move on freely to the universe to start taking effect. Personally I like just writing everything down now, but you can clean up and then write your impressions. I find that if you write everything down right away while still in circle, you are more true to your feelings and impressions, and you won?t forget them so easily. After you cast your spell, you can go ahead and dismiss the elements, deity and the circle, Clean everything up and go about your business. Remember not to talk too much about the spell, as this causes it to looses momentum. A good example of how this works is when you are angry at someone. The more you talk about it, the less angry you get. It works the same way with spells. How to know they have worked- There are many subtle signs such as right after the spell takes effect you will get shivers, or a breeze will blow and you will just know. Basically if you think it is a sign, then it is a sign. When signs show they could be within a few minutes of performing a spell or 3 days, or even a month. Each sign for each spell and person is different. You just have to remain observant

    53. How do spells work? (top)
      Spells work because the spell caster has mastered the techniques of focus, intent, energy manipulation, visualization, and confident belief. You might find the book "Spells and How They Work" by Janet and Stewart Farrar to be helpful.

    54. How do you make spells? (top)
      You must learn to cast in order to cast a spells. Start with meditation and chakra work. Then move on to simple castings, such as a circle and shielding. Read as much as you can about the different forms of casting as well, such as candle magic. Visit Newbie central to help you get started as well. The Tips section has several good pointers

    55. How do you take down spells that you have posted? (top)
      You cannot take down a spell once it is posted. The only person who can remove spells from the site is Petrarca, the Site Administrator.

    56. How many spells do you have to do to move on to intermediate? (top)
      It is not so much a number of spells, but your ability to control the forces needed for the magic you wish to cast. This is mostly a natural ability, though with practice people can improve and become better. In short, there are no hard and fast rules to say when you have reached a certain level.

    57. How to deal with someone casting spells against you? (top)
      First and foremost stop feeding the negative energy being sent your direction. Break up the energy by utilizing an uncrossing/unhexing ritual that combines a banishing aspect. Be sure to cleanse and purify yourself and your living spaces after as well as place protection magic around you. You may need to repeat the cleansing aspect on a regular basis and increase your protection over time. Protection magic builds on itself. Each time protection magic is practiced it links with previous protection magic that has been cast.

    58. I been trying to cast a spell but I have been unsucessful. What am I doing wrong? (top)
      Magick takes time and education to achieve. Meditation is not the end all be all. There is also grounding, centering, visualization, correspondences, and so much more! You can find many free resources such as pdfs, articles, and informational forum posts to help guide you. Remember, Google is free and opened twenty four seven.

    59. I believe in magic, but the spells don't work. Why? (top)
      There could be any number of reasons your spells don't work. It is important to realize that many of the spells on this site are fake and will never work at all. Or the problem may be that you don't understand the basics of what makes magic work and haven't mastered the necessary skills.

    60. I want to create resurrection, revival and restoration spells using the ability to create our own spells. If i need help, do you know where i can go? (top)
      You can always ask for help in the Spell sections of the Forum or in the Chat. However, if you are thinking of trying to create a spell to bring something back to life after it is dead, you should know that no magic will actually do that.

    61. If i was a gifted enough witch, would there be a possibility of me creating and doing the great spells of ressurrection, then revival and then restoration to fully bring back a dead individual or more? (top)
      No. Such spells are not possible no matter how talented you are. Magic has its laws and its limits

    62. If you were born empathic,psychic, etc. Could a body or spiritual spells change that? (top)
      Spells can not change what abilities you do have although they can suppress them. The best way to rid oneself of certain abilities is generally never use them, which in turn is very difficult when faced with mental abilities.

    63. Is Halloween a powerful night to cast a spell? (top)
      Halloween/Sanhain is a sabbath/holiday and a time for celebration. Spell work is not enhanced due to this however a small amount of magical workings is a good way to celebrate. Divination is the best magical workings to perform on Samhain.

    64. Is doing spell work against God? (top)
      That is a question that should be asked of your religious leader, not some random stranger on a message board. Some religions believe that their God does not want them to do magic. Other religions have no problem with it. What does your religion teach?

    66. Is it possible for an object to have multiple spells in placed on it? Like- invisible to me and a hex as well? (top)
      Theoretically it is possible, but I would not advise it as it might disrupt the energies of a spell and result in an unexpected or even unwanted result. I would place each spell on a different object.

    67. Is there a book that teaches to cast spells without ingredients. Voice alone? (top)
      Chanting is a way of raising energy for a magical working. It uses the power of language and the vibrations from the sounds created to manifest a desired outcome. Chants are often combined with other actions within a magical working, this is because the more energy raised and directed towards a specific goal the stronger the casting becomes. Some chants, like ones for protection, can be repeated in times of need to help feed prior castings that are still in effect but simply need a boost. Suggested books; "Spells and How They Work" by Janet and Stewart Farrar, "Magical Chants" by Mia Rose, and "Magical Spells and Incantations by Elizabeth Pepper.

    68. My coven is looking to use the spellbook and ritual section of our coven for our actual coven spells and rituals, but most of the stuff there was put there by older members of the coven who no longer are members and the sections are full of spells that we all dislike/are fake. Is there any way to remove these spells from just the coven spellbook or are there permanently there? (top)
      Unfortunately, no. Those spells were put in there from members who earned the ability to post spells. There are tons of fluff spells in almost every coven and it wouldn't put a bad label on you because most of the people who are true magick practicers know to tell what's right from wrong. For the ones you simply 'dislike' they could be very useful to many different members. As of right now, the admin has not given us (the editors, mods, etc) the option to remove spells from other users.

    69. The spells I'm using don't seem to do anything. Why? (top)
      Make sure to learn the basics first. Grounding, centering, shielding, meditation, and energy work. Study before practice.

    71. What do I do if i can't afford supplies to cast spells? (top)
      Supplies are tools, and as such they are not requirements for the spell. Tools can be replaced, or even entirely omitted. You can learn what the value and purpose of each tool said to be used for the spell, and learn what they can be replaced with that you already have in your ready-to-use availability at home. Or you can learn how to cast the spell entirely omitting the tools listed.

    72. What is a good day for wishing spells? (top)

"Modern Magick" will take you step by step through the necessary training to cast spells.

    78. Why are Ouija boards dangerous to some and not to others? (top)
      Sometimes when working with a Ouija board one can make contact with a less-than-friendly spirit that can cause trouble for you if you are not properly shielded. Working within a cast circle and only contacting spirits of those you know can minimize the risk of having such troublesome spirits appear.

      Many spells rhyme for multiple reasons including but not limited to: it's believed that when a spell rhymes it helps in making them stronger; they are much easier to remember; it helps in consistency so as not to mess up in a casting that in doing so would cause the spell to weaken, not work, or act on an unintended intent; and personal preference when writing a spell.

      Clear intention and sustained focus on the desired result is necessary for the proper out come and results of any magical working. When practicing spell work ones needs to make their intentions as clear as possible. It is advised that one cleanse and protect their sacred space before casting any magical working. This will secure the area and by casting a circle you open a space between the planes of existence where one is better protected from outside energy interfering with the desired magical working. Meditation will help calm, cleanse, and focus the mind and body before casting. Emotions can contribute greatly to how the spell turns out so mindfulness is very important. Also the experience gained through practice will help one to achieve better magical results over time.

    81. Why do spells take so long to work? (top)
      The time it takes for a spell to work depends on things like the strength of the caster and type of spell. Some spells are immediate, others may take years. A spell simply takes as long as it takes to manifest.

      Spells may be spoken, whispered, sung, or simply focused on through thought, however the energy one adds through the use of their physical voice may increase the energy and effectiveness of a spell. Sound vibrations add energy to any magical working and this is why drums, rattles, and other noise makers are often used in conjunction with magical practice.
