Spell Troubleshooting
This is not an exhaustive list so please be encouraged to add onto this post.
So your spell didn’t work?
Did you cast a circle? If not cast one and try the spell again. If you are new to casting circles you may have done it incorrectly. Do more research and try again.
Did you ground yourself? If you did not ground yourself before attempting the spell your magic may not have flowed correctly. Additionally, you may have opened yourself up to negative spirits that may have interfered with your spell.
Did you make substitutions? Maybe you didn’t have the right ingredients so you made a substitution. Try getting your hands on the ingredients the spell calls for and try again.
Was the spell from a reliable source? Maybe the spell was not written for the purpose of witchcraft and is not effective for magic.
Have you been slacking on your offerings? If part of your magical path is working with deities, spirits, or other entities, offerings are an important part of that relationship. If you have not given offerings recently, your magical guides may not be as interested in helping your spells come to fruition.
Is something interfering with your spell? Have you noticed signs of a spirit or possibly the fae around your home? If so, do your research to find out whats interfering and how you can appease them.
Were you at a good energy level when you attempted it? Casting spells takes physical, mental, and spiritual energy. If you are lacking energy, especially spiritual energy, spells will not work. Try again when you’re feeling better. You can also increase your spiritual energy through meditation.
