Over the years I have noticed a very common question; Why arent my Spells working?, this question has many answers in this post I hope to clarify the common causes of spell failure and how to address it, without having to go through long stories and explanations to get down to a simple point.
What are you trying to achieve? This is problem, is incredibly common and is a question I find myself asking many people when they come with spell problems. What is your goal? What are you trying to achieve? What is the purpose of your spell? Magic is not miracles, it cant break the rules or change everything it merely helps smooth out the bumps in the road or cause more bumps. If your spell has a goal ofBeing able to Fly Gaining Superpowers Making a fictional character come to life or my personal favouriteTurn me into some fictional being any of these goals, areimpossibleno spell, no matter how much effort you put into it will not work end of story. Spells that give you goals ofBring me love Curse this person Protect my Family all found under thepossiblecategory. So when facing a Spell, whether one you found or one youre trying to making follow the basic question ofWhat am I trying to do, is this remotely possible? following the idea above if it promises goals only seen in fiction then youll only have fiction in your hands, nothing else. Effort: Physical Some practitioners believe that just casting a spell will give you your result, this is not true and never will be true there may be times where you cast a spell and have the result somewhat immediately or rather quick generally these are coincidences or you shooting your arrow high and getting the bullseye, but, when it comes to effort in magic, I mean after the spell has been cast you need actually act in a way to help achieve your goal, here is a list of some examples.-
Weight loss Spell you actually need to diet and exercise, the spell will help but not instantly give it to you.
Love Spell you need to put yourself out there into the dating world, no potential lover will just show up to your door five minutes after casting your spell.
Job Spell you need to apply for a job.
Money Spell to attract money you need to get a job or perform some kind of task to earn money or get into gambling/lotto. Money wont come to you while youre sitting there doing nothing.

Internalized Effort: Some practitioners work their magic with very few ingredients by focusing on their energy, will/intent either muttering to themselves or reciting the spell to the sky for this, it would be best if you focused a lot on your centring, grounding and being able to direct energy (Generally through visualization)
Externalized Effort: The ingredients you use, the gestures and words you perform or even the offerings you give. This being said it doesnt mean you need to fork out $100s for one spell, what I am saying is if youre going to be physical with your spell, make each action deliberate and thought-out, make the symbolism meaningful.
