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!

The Ultimate Hoodoo Herbal Incense Guide

 Myrrh The other day I made a bath recipe for myself using some artificial myrrh oil (real myrrh essential oil being quite expensive -- about $160 a half ounce as of this writing.) Sniffing it, it called to mind so many other spells that I've done that I realized -- this is THE smell of hoodoo. American hoodoo magic, with its blend of African, Indigenous, and European traditions, has a long history of utilizing various herbs, roots, and materials to create potent spells and rituals. One such ingredient that holds a significant place is myrrh. It is not a native plant to the Americas: commiphora myrrha is native to the Arabian penninsula and Africa. It appears often in the Bible, and because of this was adopted into European high magical traditions. As I mention in my book Conjuration , incense wasn't much used in American hoodoo till the early 20th century, when the "catalogue culture" of De Laurence and others brought to it more high magical tradition and incorpor...

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...

Reconciliation and Return Lover Magic Spells

I would say 9 out of 10 of folks contacting me about magic spells are looking for workings to bring back a lost lover; and I would say 9 of those 10 have already waited too long or otherwise made messes to the point where magic is no longer a good option to help them. For a while I was paying attention to stories of people who succeeded in bringing back their lost lovers with magic spells. I noticed initially a lot of people seemed to have performed the spells themselves, and at first thought that was what made the difference. Over time, however, I met a few people who'd had luck by hiring professional spells, and I even succeeded at several hired cases of my own. That's when I started to realize what the real factor was -- the people who succeeded were performing their spells right away, either by immediately hiring a professional to cast a spell, or by immediately performing a spell on their own. The folks who waited more than about 2 - 4 weeks usually never had luck. ...

Magical Hoodoo Baths - The Original Hoodoo and Voodoo Bath for Luck, Love and Success

One beginning in the tradition of hoodoo should know about the importance of baths. They are vital tools in hoodoo work and cannot be dispensed with.  Many people nowadays don't have bathtubs, and some adaptation can be achieved by way of showers. Other people use a large bowl or bucket of water to pour on themselves in place of a spiritual bath. In olden times, and also in some places today where water on tap isn't common, people will perform their spiritual baths in a river or pond outdoors.  A spiritual bath is similar to a regular bath, but with certain key differences. Spiritual baths are not meant primarily for physical cleansing and so washing items like soap might be taboo depending on the exact bath type. However there are some types of magical bath that do use the multitasking property of soap or other cleansers, and in those cases the cleaning aspect is appropriate to the work. There is some controversy around washing the hair in a spiritual bath. Many people don...

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...
