Magic, the Craft, and Common Sense

Magic is wonderful; spells are a great tool to help you focus your intent and your will and bring into being that which you wish in your life. But that's what a spell is intended to be! Not a crutch. Not an "all-purpose-quick-fix". And by no means an easy way to get what you want regardless of circumstances. Magic is like all things in Nature; it has laws that must be obeyed, and are ignored to your own peril. Rely on it too much, and when you truly need it, it will fail you, simply to teach you to rely on yourself more than anything else. Period. Magic is never something to be taken lightly, but used when there is a genuine lack in your life. And if the lack is within, then even magic can't give you that which you need. Only you yourself can fill the void.

Now, I must say, the thing that truly disappoints me when people write to me for spells is the type of spell most are looking for. Everything from "Can you teach me how to levitate my cat?" to "How can I make someone love me?". I nearly decided to no longer accept spell requests at all; it seemed to me that too many out there are either looking to manipulate the world, or are too wrapped up in role-playing games (something I myself enjoy, but which I realize should not be taken too seriously!!) But then I remembered that there are many out there who really do need help, and just don't know where to turn. So, if any of you reading this have sent spell requests that I've not answered, please forgive me for my temporary boycott, and know that all requests (even the silly ones) were filed while I made up my mind, and all will be replied to.

One last note; spells are wonderful things, but they (no more than anything else) can make up for using the sense you were given. If that little voice inside you were able to get through your refusal to listen to it, you'd find that more often than not, you need no spell; you simply need to listen to your gut and it will help you through it. And that at times, the best spell (actually, most often!) is for you to simply look inside yourself, get clear on what it is you really need, and in the most heartfelt way you can, ask the Universe to help you get it. and remember that all your actions (good or bad) will effect you later in some way, and don't put out what you don't want back!
