Did my spell backfire?

[carlogiovanni]

Last year I performed a binding spell with a friend on somebody who was causing us both a lot of emotional pain, (Please don't bring in any moral considerations on me doing this - it was a tough time and I tried protecting myself, reflecting etc and I was just starting out, I realise that it wasn't the smarest thing to do) and it worked (eventually) naturally.

Only problem is... this person is everywhere I go now. I am constantly bumping into them, find myself in situations with them etc. I no longer dislike the person either, and it seems to me that we are attracted to eachother, or something is bringing us together. It's very strange. Same bus, same street - same restaurant! Again and again and again...

Something must be going on here. All the things she's done to me and my friend and all the hate that's been built up between us is no longer there. I feel like I should be hating them, but I don't.

Is this just natural forgiveness?

Could the binding spell have gone full circle and instead of dispersing the hatred involved compeletely reverse it?

I'm confused and really freaked out.

Any help?

Thanks.

PS. My friend that did the spell with me still hates this person, and they hate them too.

When you do a binding spell you bind someone to you, so it's not surprising you see them all the time now.

Lucky for you if they don't anger you anymore.

I always thought that if you do a binding spell, you "bind" them from doing any more harm in relation to you, so they leave you alone.

I was wrong?

[Myst]

You might you might bind them only to you, or do nothing at all, if the magic isn't perfect. In fact I suppose if the moon were wrong or the energy or the intent or the tides were wrong (or any small thing that could go wrong) you could've bound yourself. You might bind them to stop causing harm, but this is magic that can go wrong so easily.

You probably wanted a banishing spell, not a binding spell.

:D Heh, ok ok.

Thanks for your help.

Let's just hope the effects wear off soon. (Although I no longer dislike the person, I don't exactly enjoy seeing them all the damn time.)

Let's just hope you don't receive some karmic backlash..

[carlogiovanni]

Erm, can't be any worse than the general backlash I get generally day to day!

But it's good to hope!

[Myst]

Riiiight.

Sound kinda like this is your karmic payback... :T

Depending on how you worded your spell, yes...you could end up binding the person to you instead. That's why I always caution against using them if possible. Even just one word wrong can cause all sorts of problems. Or if a word has more than one interpretation. You have to be sooo very careful & precise. You should be in any spell workings but more so with binding spells.

You might want to try & reverse this spell. Unless you've set some kind of time limit on it, you may be stuck with this person for a long, long time.

[carlogiovanni]

Hm I'll see how things go.

Trying to reverse it might produce an unpredictable side effect, or make things worse.

As Myst said, as least they don't anger me anymore.

for now ;)
