does it work for the practicers?

[emowaffles]

Well, I don't know that much about practices like these, so I'm asking you guys: does it work for you? I mean, do the spells and such work at-all/sometimes/everytime?

If so, is there a limit to what does work?

Do you have a particular request in mind? We fill orders here. (hey guys, play along with me, we can do this .. and we might be able to generate some cash flow too .. come on, play along). So, tell us, is there some particular thing that you need accomplish that only majic can fulfill? We don't exactly have a pricing chart, as you can imagine that would be quite lengthy, but we can quote you a figure, and even provide a free small sample. So tell us, what particular catagory are you interested in? Wealth? Fame? Health? Revenge? Love spells .. now that's one of our specialties. Would you like a sample? Think of something reasonable, possible, yet would defy all odds. Ya know, like a big solar flare, or a space rock out of nowhere crashing into the planet. Nothing like bringing back the dead okay. I mean, we could probably manage it, but really, yuck, think of the stink! Suggest something, I'll check to see if we have it in stock, and let ya know.

The only way to know is to seriously try. So, lets give it a try. Game? :yup:

Check with Hadriana, our Resident Witch, the next time she shows up and/or send her a PM (Private Message). Maybe she will help you out with some of your questions, though I can't speak for her.

I would have to say it most definitely works! Around 4 years ago I put a mega-curse upon the USA (some of you were around there and witnessed me do so too, huh?!!!), cursed for their elite hoity toity attitude about others in this world (i.e. so-called "illegal humons" that should get back where YOU thought they should belong). I cursed them so they would become poor, like the illegal humons. I curse them a lot, their Earth raping economy, their cheating fiat funny money, their selfishness and carelessness about the environment and their love of the bloddy horrible automobile and other stupid destructive shit, ... a whole bunch of things and justifications ... and ... (HAR HAR HAR HAR) AIN'T THAT CURSE WORKING TODAY!!!!! HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR!!! HAR! (burp) .. And, recently, I've RE-DOUBLED THAT CURSE!!! So, BEWARE .. evil HUMONS of Earth! HAR HAR HAR ... Surrender, or you all will be SQUASHED BY BIG BIG VOODOO INDUCED SPACE ROCKS COME 2011 .. I SWEAR .. I PROMISE .. I FREAKING GUARANTEE IT!!!! BECAUSE I KNOWN HOW, I CAN, and .. I HAVE!!!!!! Surrender, or the curse remains and you all will be DOOMED! ;) Wait, watch, and see ... like I said, I (and my kind) CAN prove it! HAR HAR HAR!!! Yeah, it works, #$%@ yeah ... but ONLY when it is HONESTLY JUSTIFIED, such as is the case here on Earth! ;)

Does it work?

Well, for me, it's worked so well that I no longer want that much. I feel like I have everything...but thing is, I don't have that much on a material level,but know what? All I want is time to be IN nature, time to study, and read, and learn, and think, and marvel, and I need a lot of time to roam around on the astral.

And I have it. :)

My material needs are met. I haven't worked in 5 years, and I'm not on any sort of govt. dole. My husband works, but his job is easy now, and he likes it.
When we first got together, he had a very hard job. He's even managed to keep it...somehow. ;)

I had a few dreams - big life dreams - I've done them all. Most of the time, if I decide I want something, I get it within 2 weeks. Someone gives it to me, I find it dirt cheap, I win it...or I discover that I ALREADY HAVE IT.

The only thing I have had a problem with is healing myself, but I've made progress. It's complicated.

I know the secret of the ugly ol witch in the run down hovel. You look at her, and you think, witchcraft obviously didn't work for HER, but I know....I know...she's the most powerful of all....See, she's got everything she ever wanted and she's quit wanting much of anything.

[Hadriana]

I'll divulge a secret, but I won't expand on it.

One of the biggest problems people have (Including myself) with getting magick to work, is they do not understand what they are asking for. One has to understand the essence of what it is they desire, and how their desire coexists with this thing, and go from there.

Understand that, and you've got a shortcut.

That's great Had, same here. I value my TIME the most, above all else. TIME is the only finite thing we have which we can not buy more of, and I use most of mine pursuing what I want .. as opposed to selling it so others may get what they want instead, ha. And, remember, when it's time to leave, we won't be able to take any of that material STUFF with us, but we may be able to take what we have learned with us ... just like in any dream!

What I've discovered is that magick won't work if it is counter to the desires of the collective (and, that collective is not just HUMONS, it's the whole of nature .. natures INTENT .. natures DESIRE!). If your magick request is inline with natures intent, natures desire, natures plan, and it doesn't result in a negative impact to nature, it really seems to work. And, when your request is beneficial to nature, man, it sure does work, without a doubt!

As far as healing oneself, the best medicine we can do for ourselves, ourselves, is to listen to our body needs. Give it what it wants and needs (unless it is unhealthy of course). And, it sure doesn't hurt to become a friend of nature and make some lifestyle changes. Nature will recognize this and respond appropriately. I like to think that my cancerous cyst was cured because I swore to give up eating other life forms (well most, because I still eat some fish and shrimp and scallops a few times a month).

And, meditation .. that seems to be necessary before using magick too. I won't go into that in detail except to say meditation is where, essentially, I present my "request" for consideration to the force .. that force of nature that surrounds us and our lives. Something like that.

[Hadriana]

Plants are life forms too. :)

(Just felt the need to mention that.)

Yeah, but they don't seem to object to being eaten, like them cows and humons, ha. In fact, plants seem to encourage being eaten, by looking all yummy and tasty.

Just to throw it out there, true story BTW:

back in 2003 a guy stole a bike from a drifter. This particular drifter was the where ever i may roam is exactly where I am supposed to be type of guy, the kind of guy that looked at time the same way he looked at a stream or river, always going at it's own pace with no realitive purposes or need to advance beyond whatever life gave him.

Well these College kids were hacking into the Campus computers, they would read pretty much everybodies email and work, basically trying to rip people off. Well one night as the guy was on the computer they stole his bike while he was setting at the computer. When he came out he realized it was gone. And obvously he couldn't prove who did it cause he had never seen them. But the one thing they forgot was the key to the lock. They forgot it cause it was in the guys pocket. This guy decides to go for a walk. All the while thinking of what he needed. HE gathered up 5 types of stones and one type of rotten fruit that had fallen off the tree and dried up.

Next thing you known this guy draws a circle and places a hexagram in the center. Places his stones that seem to have an electric connection to him at the time. Placed the fuit on another stone in the center and did his ritual as he cast the keys in the rotten fruit.

It was reported that the next day one of the guy's, Jim was his name, the other Matt, but it was said that Jim got a unknown blood disease and died in the hospitial.

After seeing this I never practiced again. A true Preist can do what ever needs to be done this I assure you. Was the guy wrong for doing what he did? No, was the kid, maybe. Was it a fitting punishment? No. Was it deserved? Maybe.

haha, no thank you. I just wondered about it.

[Hadriana]

I'd be careful trying to generate cash. All money is - paper someone else puts a value on. Try to generate cash and you might find a mailbox full of bills.

I had a very good one the other day.

**I** ran out of trash bags. I didn't want to go to the store for them but I had to have some. I was complaining about having to get dressed and darn drive to the store and I wish I could come up with enough to do me until I went to the store later.

My husband walks in with a box.
Fedex brought you this.

It was a box of 40 trash bags. A sample a company sent me. Just the right size. Nice too.

If people really knew how very many times a week - sometimes a day - that sort of thing happened to me, the witchcraft books in the stores would be sold OUT. Too bad witchcraft isn't a revealed religion.

[VOguy]

Fear is motivated by the unknown, and the lack of asking the questions. People tend to be fearful of the craft because of a lack of understanding coupled with the image of the hag on the broom flying through the sky.

As I said before, when the time comes and I get my inn, you're more than welcomed to come up and explain it. I, for one, would find a dissertation in the subject to be enlightening.

A closed mind is a recipe for ignorance.

Inn?

That's the thing, it isn't a revealed religion or a revealed art.
One could give a thousand dissertations, read a thousand books - but very, very few would ever get the powerful ahas! that lead to being able to effect real synchronicities at seeming will. That takes practice and reflection, and careful analysis, observance of nature and cycles, and a willingness to consider the magickal on a daily basis for a long time.

I would not be seeking the full course, which we know would be a lifelong lesson. One probably started as a child.

But. still, I think it's interesting to try to understand the mysteries of things foreign to us, if only to understand why and how others come to conclusions. To be curious and not ask the most basic question is perhaps the biggest sin in learning.

Witch Bottle (http://www.forteantimes.com/strangedays/archaeology/2362/witch_bottle.html)
Discovery of witch bottle used to drive away evil spells
By Paul Sieveking - November 2009

A witch bottle used to drive away evil spells has been found with all its contents. More than 200 witch bottles have already been discovered, but this is thought to be the first one with its cork intact. Dr Alan Massey, a retired chemistry lecturer from Loughborough, analysed the contents of the bottle after it was found buried upside-down at a depth of about 5ft by builders at a site in Greenwich, south-east London, in 2004. Like most early witch bottles, it was a bartmann or bellamine, a salt-glazed jar made in the Netherlands or Germany, stamped with the face of Cardinal Roberto Bellarmino (1542–1621).
