What do you think of.....

..spell casters?

I personally haven't used any ones that make you pay , but one of my best friends claims that her boyfriend was being really nasty to her, and she paid an online spell caster to make him love her again. She claims it works, but I don't know what to believe. Has anyone got positive results from any of these?

I can imagine some of them con people out of money, but there may be some genuines.
What do you think?

most of them questionable ethics at best, making someone love you via magic as per your example is extremely unethical, most of the other "services" i've seen them offer are very unethical as well, not to mention charging people to do it (although thats not considered unethical by as many people as the other things)

also, why pay someone to do it when you can do it yourself?

[Autumn Angel Mardi]

I know what you mean. Their prices put me off anyway.
My friend says it wouldn't have happened without the spell but how does she know its not a coincidence?

[Nox_Mortus]

if it did happen because ofthe spell that could have some very negative consequences further down the road also, whethor or not one believes in karma things like that always have consequences, and they usually aren't that great in the end.

[teishabee]

If your friend believes that then why dont you ask her why it cant be coincidence?

Personally unless I was there when so called spell caster was preforming spell. I wouldnt see any truth in the spell.

If you are asking whether such a spell exists or if magic is possible then those are different questions entirely.

I can imagine nearly all of them con people out of money

Fixed that for you. _whistle_

[LadyCelt]

Well, some do tarot for free and some charge for readings. I've had both done for me and don't really have a problem with either. However, a spell to make someone love a person again could have dire consequences and is unfair to that person. The money isn't the problem to me if that covers herbs, stones, their time and research, transportation, etc. But, the spell described is not good.

[Autumn Angel Mardi]

yes. If you knew her you'd know its the type of thing she does. I just searched for some to relate to this thread and my gawsh some of them are transparent.

Ah, yet another opportunity for me to state that whatever anyone charges for a specific casting, I'll do it for half; mail me cash in U.S. currency. I have few ethics, fewer morals, and no scruples, but I am bound by a code of honor (sorta paradoxical, ain't it?); and while I don't guarantee the results, I guarantee that there will be results... but you may not like 'em, 'cuz it's gonna be what you asked for.

Well, centuries ago you'd go to your local cunning man or woman and they would do spells for you, for a price.

The big difference was that back then they were living in walking distance of you and you would know their reputation and whether they were any good or not.

Personally I wouldn't consult an online (or distant) person on principle: I'd want to meet them face to face and get an impression of their reputation, demeanour, code of conduct, and so on.

Or as someone said, do it myself!

I would think a spell done by yourself would have greater effect than one done for you by someone else simply because someone else won't desire your goal nearly as much as you will.

IF I found any person or service out there that casts spells for money and it really works... well... I don't see why not. Casting spells takes time, resources and energy....and the person doing it ought to get paid for it. Moreover, I'd personally like to be able to witness it, so at least I KNOW that the guy Im paying is doing something with the cash I gave him. Which is why if I ever do go to someone for a spell, it wont be someone I cant physically meet.

I think the general rule of thumb when choosing a practitioner is to look for:

1. frankness and honesty
2. evidence that the spellcaster's spells HAVE enhanced or improved his life in some way.

I have a friend who goes to see readers, numerologists and various practitioners out there on a regular basis. He picks the ones that show evidence of their wellbeing and prosperity. I mean, if the practitioner is dirt poor, plagued by illness, having relationship problems and scraping for a living, do you think he can do spells to guarantee ur health and happiness?

I think that power may not be in the spell caster per se, but in your belief that the spell performed will work for you .

[Autumn Angel Mardi]

HAHAHA guess what she informed me the other day! It was a hoax. Just shows if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Whether she got the money back I don't know but she's a very gullible person.

ROLF!

To the OP, I don't have a problem with them but personally, I would never use one. And I think in general, they're probably about as credible as Sylvia Browne.

[Autumn Angel Mardi]

Some of them are so transparent its' ridiculous. Some people are not very nice.
My friend Cait was an "Aisha Haadie" victim.

[teishabee]

whats that?

Some weirdo who claims to be Egyptian, who probably laughed all the way to the bank.

I have NO problem with people charging for spells. The time and effort, as well as the ingredients that I put into my spells are such that if I was doing for someone else, you can bet your ass they'd better be paying me.

I have NO problem with love spells. Have no problem with what some would call 'manipulative' magic. Whether we're using magic or not, our entire lives are manipulative. We're always trying to get something in one way or another. What do you think the whole beauty industry is about? Getting men to like women for something other than personality.

Sure love spells can work; TO GET YOU NOTICED. They're useful for getting a relationship started. They can be helpful in curbing a lovers tendency to stray. They are NOT a fix-all sort of thing. YOU still have to work at it. You can't do a love spell, and then sit on your ass and hope your dream man knocks on your door. You can't do a marriage restoration spell, and then wait for your husband to come back. Spells should be used to BOOST the mundane things that you are doing to improve your life.

What gets me with many of the spellcasting services is the "100% guarantee" that you often see. I've had amazingly powerful results with spells. I've seen shit happen after a spell that everyone said was impossible. Hell, I've shocked myself when some of the spells I did worked! But I do NOT claim that they've worked 100%. It's impossible. We are not meant to have everything we ask for. Some things it's completely impossible for us to have. And some things it's simply better that we don't have.

I agree completely!
