Hi! I’m a new witch and I wanted to know if there were any special rules for chanting? Like, how to chant? Do you always have to incorporate an item/crystal/herb/etc? Do you have to chant a certain number of times? Or for a certain amount of time? Stuff like that. Thanks!

There probably are, but I’ve always done my own thing and have always had success.

Some chants tell you how many times to do it, and if not I just do it until it feels right/complete.

I like to have something to focus my energy and magic, but that doesn’t have to be a set thing. It could be holding my hands in a certain way, or burning a candle, or holding a crystal.

Is there such a thing as like, magical backlash? For example, I used two different spell and sigil combos to get a new job back in May, and a new car (got Into an accident with my older one) and they worked great! I got the job, and the new car. But, now that it’s been a few months things are going down hill. Like I still haven’t got my license plates, and now I might have to leave my job cause of my Crohn’s Disease. Did something go awry? Or is the magic just fading?

This is one of those things where I close a lot of loopholes in my spells to ensure I get to keep the things. “I cast this spell to get a new job and to keep it as long as I desire”.

It certainly is possible that the magic is fading, or mundane life just happened – spells and magic can’t prevent everything, sometimes things just don’t fit or work out.

Wishing you the best of luck with your job and car, and managing your health on top of it all. It’s not an easy balance 💕
