Spell Loopholes

Wording a spell correctly is extremely important! We’ve all heard the stories of someone who cast a spell and technically had it come true, but in a way that wasn’t what they actually wanted at all! Here’s a list of common “loopholes” spells will take to get the job done, and how to make sure you get what you want!

🕯Taking its time- “I want money,” you tell the Universe, hoping to get some help with rent. Well, rent comes and there’s no extra cash in sight! Then, two weeks later, a surprise wad of cash all but lands in your lap. The spell came true, but not in time for when it mattered. This is easily fixed by adding “…by the end of the month,” or specifying what the money is for, which in this case was this month’s rent.

🕯No help needed- “I want money,” you say again. Magic will often take the path of least resistance, so if you’ve already got a paycheck on the way, the spell might not do much besides make sure it doesn’t get lost. There. Money. It can be good to specify that you want your spell to work in addition to everything you’re already doing!

🕯 Bare minimum- This time from your money spell, it arrives on time from an unexpected source! But it’s a quarter you found on the ground. Maybe three quarters. Not much help! If your intent would require the money to be close to a certain amount or any other specific like that, let it be known! The universe isn’t there to make assumptions.

🕯 For the worst- Let’s say you have two friends that have been flirting, so you cast a nice little spell to let any mutual interest between them blossom into a relationship and save them some trouble. It happens, but it turns out they do NOT work well with each other. They are interested in each other, but argue constantly and bring out the worst in each other. The relationship is hurting them both. You had the absolute best of intentions, but there was no way of knowing that would happen! This is why a lot of witches include the phrase, “for the highest good” in their spells, as a failsafe for any unexpected pitfalls like this that may be lurking. The universe will see them but doesn’t know to care unless you specify.

🕯Another layer- Once I made a dream bear to bring me more dreams. Well, I had lots more dreams, but couldn’t remember any of them! I didn’t think that was something I needed to specify. Make sure you hit every point you need to be satisfied with a result.

As a general rule, if my spell includes a prayer or petition of any sort, I take a few minutes and comb through it for stuff like this beforehand. What am I specifying? What am I leaving up to interpretation? Could any of that manifest in a way I would be unhappy with? Take a little time before you start casting to smooth out all those wrinkles! Best of wishes!

the human stress response seems so maladaptive!

[cargopantsman]

To be fair 99% of our evolutionary stress response was meant to deal with far more immediately conclusive scenarios than the tedious bullshit we put up with these days.

[yellbug]

not to leave a serious comment on a silly post but one of the best pieces of advice I ever got about stress was to SLEEP but secondly, when overwhelmed, lay in a bed and intentionally hold all your muscles clenched. clench EVERYTHING. hold it for a few seconds, then let go. It tricks your animal fight-or-flight monkey brain into thinking it had, and won, a fight, and some of the stress response will leave you

there is no audience to perform for, there is no approval, no admiration to attain. there is no role worth playing, there is no one to convince. let it go

I feel like everyone having to dig up large portions of their yards would you know, decrease the property value and therefore be undesirable to your HOA

We don’t HAVE an HOA. 

No one cares out here EXCEPT him!

I guess there’s some obscure rule that no one ever follows that says you’re not supposed to have plantings and landscapings on the county right of way along the road, for 41 feet measured from the center line of the road. So he contacted the county about that. 

Thing is, every damn one of my neighbors has trees and flowers and stuff planted in that 41 foot right of way, because the county NEVER enforces it and generally doesn’t give a shit about those of us out here in the sticks.

He just wants to peep in your windows, be a nuisance and be the old asshole no one likes who's always calling the cops for kids playing outside, or people walking dogs.

I am vowing now to make his life fucking miserable. 

I’m breaking out the lightning struck dead oak staves for this fucker. 

[angry-cajun-lady]

I have the sudden urge to tell you to bury a half a dozen bits of jasper on this property....to rectify unjust situations.... apparently.

No, I did NOT know what jasper does...I literally just jokingly said "Loki, you wanna go mess with this asshole?" And that popped in my head. I WAS NOT EXPECTING AN ANSWER!!

[systlin]

Well and lookit that I have a box full of red jasper sitting over here

Loki vs doinysus

I gotta say I think Dionysus would win here. He's a very ancient god, as in he was worshipped in really early periods of Greek history, and as such I see him as having loads of raw power, the kind you would imagine primitive gods like Kronos or Gaia have. While Loki isn't really shown to be that powerful in fights that aren't a matter of wits in some way

Also, as these asks are prompting me to do some research (On Wikipedia lmao) I found out Dionysus has a whole epiteph to refer to the fact that he's a vers. And I just think that's very iconic of him.

[they-scream]

The concept of these two having any reason to fight is VERY amusing
