Witchcraft's Hidden Secret to Success: How to Deliberately Forget and The Power of Negative Thinking

power and energy in spiritual practice

Many a time, one who is casting spells or getting spellcasts done will be told to stay positive. Does this mean one should invest false hope in a case? Does this mean one ought to deny any chance of things going wrong? Does this mean one ought to plan only for a future based on a successful outcome? The shock of such disappointment when one had put so much faith into a happy result is often a way of even worsening the pain of dismay from just not getting it. But what else then? Surely you don't want negative energy? That's a sure way to kill a spell, isn't it?

While negative energy certainly can harm a spell, I have observed a lot of people's "positive energy" is really just negative energy in disguise. People are afraid of what will happen if the spell fails, so they invest everything they have into ensuring a positive outcome -- by way of obsession and fretting, either over the spell or its worldly elements. That is not positive, that is negative! Unsatisfying results are typically the outcome one gets of such action. Acting out of terror is never positive, unless you count an instinctive Fight or Flight reaction to escape from immediate danger; but this is a rare occurrence in our culture. Instead, people are afraid of future possibilities and what will happen if circumstances don't fall in their favor, and then out of desperation they try to use magic to control it, still terrified of what will come if the magic fails. Thinking a "positive attitude" is what is needed to mold the magic to shape, they act positive and do what they believe a positive person does. Advice for this often involves things like acting as if you've already received what you want or improving your self esteem.

Yet, going into magic with a negative attitude often gets much better results than all this work! I don't know about you, but I have heard many cases of someone claiming "I just tried a spell for fun, thinking it wasn't real -- then to my horror, it worked!" Clearly, this person who didn't even think a spell would work wasn't thinking positively about it, yes? But it worked anyway. How???

And that's the thing. They didn't care. They actually were thinking positively, because they weren't investing their entire future in some specific outcome of a spellcast. They're even perfectly happy with a failure. That is real positive energy!

When you care so little about the outcome that you don't give it another thought, that is the true way to avoid negative energy. In a sense, by being negative you negate the negative. Simple, huh? When you genuinely don't care, you're open to any possibility. And isn't being open really what being positive is all about?

I often get people asking me "What should I do after a spellcast?" I tell them, Don't think about the spell. The less expectation you put into it, the better it's going to turn out. The less you wonder Is it working? the more likely you are to see its effect.

In short, go into magic with a pessimistic attitude. Don't use it like you rely on the results -- use it like you don't care what happens from the spell, and lead your life accordingly. That is a truly positive attitude. When you are thinking so positively that you'll even be pleased with an unfortunate outcome, that is the height of Positive Thinking. So be negative! Be a pessimist! Act like you expect hope is already lost! Thereby you will find your greatest satisfaction from magic.

I often advise my clients that the best thing to do after having a magic spell cast for any reason, is to try to forget it was even cast. WikiHow has a fine little article about How To Deliberately Forget. It even has tips I recognize from the magically valid works of L.W. De Laurence in his books on hypnotism. If you are looking to have a magic spell cast for you, you may wish to read these tips in advance!

Planetary Hours and How To Use Them for Magic Spells and Conjure Work

The Planetary Hours are a belief that sections of each day are ruled by certain heavenly bodies, and that these times of day can be utilized by those who understand their secrets to improve success in certain types of ventures. Folks like Jim Haskins and Tarostar have printed slightly incorrect versions of "Venus Hours" which have been popularly repeated: the claim that 2 AM, 9 AM, 4 PM and 11 PM on a Sunday, 6 AM, 1 PM and 8 PM on Monday, etc, are Venus Hours is wrong. This is a problem that goes back to the 18th century at least -- the Petit Albert itself mentions the mistake. The error stems from the notion that planetary hours align to hours on the clock -- they do not. As the Albert puts it: "In order that there be no mistakes about the hours that each planet rules [...] one needs to reckon the first hour from the sunrise, and not by midnight, as some people have erroneously claimed." In other words, the planetary hours are reckoned by a solar clock. T...

The Intranquil Spirit

(EDIT: Up to date information about the Intranquil Sprit can be found in my book  The Intranquil Spirit , available on Amazon.  This post has some incomplete information which is clarified in the book.) The Intranquility spell is, unfortunately, the first resort of many a rejected lover. In some ways it makes sense -- the more unhappy and forlorn one is about a breakup, the better this idea of making the other partner feel just as much so starts to sound. Unfortunately, this spell is often not well suited to a case. The purpose of the standard Intranquility spell is to have the person be tormented by the spirit until they make contact with you, or whomever the spell is being cast for. This means that if a person is already in good contact with their ex OR if they're one of those people who cannot restrain themselves from initiating contact, then this already is probably not the right spell for that case. If you've had an Intranquility spell cast and you make contac...

Paper-in-Shoe Spells

A popular and very traditional hoodoo spell, often used for any situation where you need to control someone with magic , is the namepaper-in-shoe spell. It's very easy: you write the target's name 3, 7, or 9 times on a paper (depending on intent and who's giving instruction) then fold it up, sometimes after dressing it with oils or powders, then put it in your shoe. This "keeps the person underfoot" or "stomps out the trouble" or "puts pressure on them" or any other number of metaphors. I have had this work several times over the years. In one instance, I was working for a very unpleasant boss, on a short-term job. It was the last day, and I only had about 3 hours of work left on the project; and I wanted him to up my pay for the day since it almost wasn't worth the trip across town for the amount he was paying me, for only 3 hours. He was very reluctant. So I wrote his name 3 times on a 5-dollar bill he'd given me, and dusted it...

Cut and Clear Purification Spell - White Witchcraft to Forget the Past

The time has come. You're over and done with that relationship. It could be a romance, a friendship, a business partnership -- any sort of connection really. But now you're done, and you want all ties severed. This spell helps clear up any lingering energies and makes people let go of past feelings. You need: 1 bottle Jinx Removing salt Lemon verbena leaves Purification oil or Cut and Clear oil Personal or representational items of the person(s) you are removing yourself from (names and photos are easy) Purification incense 4 white candles You will also need to make your own Cut and Clear bath salt. For this you'll need about 1/2 cup epsom salt to which you add 5 drops each lemongrass oil, lemon or melissa oil, and rue or rosemary oil. It's important to make this salt yourself with only oils (no herbs) because we want it to run clean down the drain with no residue left behind to be cleaned up. Many spiritual bath blends contain herbal matter and curio...

13 Herb Bath for Curse Removal

13 Herb Bath for curse removal can be made from from any 13 uncrossing and purification herbs. For example, if I needed to fix a batch of 13 herb bath right now based on what I've got in the house, I could mix bay leaves, rue, mint, rosemary, wood betony, sage, verbena, angelica root, white rose petals, lemongrass, lemon peel, agrimony and arnica, and it would suffice well. Other herbs like hyssop, pine needles, juniper leaves, boldo, eucalyptus leaves, mullein, basil, lavender, or marshmallow leaves would be good to use too. By no means complete, here is a list of just a few herbs said to remove a curse or jinx that you can use to make your own 13 Herbs bath: Agrimony Alkanet Angelica Arnica Basil Bay leaves Black Pepper Blessed Thistle Boldo Cayenne Pepper Chives Eucalyptus Garlic Hyssop John the Conqueror Juniper Lavender Lemon Lemongrass Lime Marshmallow leaves Mint Mullein Onion Pine Rosemary Rue Sage Sandalwood Verbena White Rose Petals ...
