While the Pagan a Kitchen doesn't practice spell casting as a circle, we have witches in our family that do.
One of our younger witches (senior in high school) was recently challenged by a classmate who told her casting spells was nonsense and they really didn't work anyway.
She told her classmate, "your prayers don't seem to be real or effective, but I'm not attacking you."
So, we had an interesting chat about spells and if they really do work.
Here's what we talked about:
First, you need to be a little more private about your spell casting.
No one needs to know everything you do, nor or you required to explain yourself.
"But she attacked my beliefs," she said.
"Yes, she did, you could have just responded by saying, 'thank you for telling me' and ended the conversation."
But having said that, let's talk about Magick and spell casting.
Magick spells are not a "magic pill" that fixes everything and gives you everything you want.
But, Magick spells do work, and it is life changing.
Natural Magick is the power of your energy, your consciousness and of nature connected to the forces that work in the universe.
But more than anything, it's the energy inside of you that helps you accomplish the spell.
You must have real interest and intent and you simply must believe.
Also, you have to be focused on one desire at a time, you can't be all over the place.
After you have cast your spell, do something, get moving, take
action, allow your energy and consciousness to guide you.
Don't overthink or worry about the spell or it's outcome.
Overthinking will bring negative energy and cast a shadow over your spell.
Believe in yourself, your energy and your intentions will bring wonderful results.
