Binding spells

[PrincessKLS]

Okay so I've heard of binding spells, and that means that someone could be banished from you or a situation. But what if you do a spell that binds you to someone, what does that mean exactly?

Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question but I was rereading one of my old emails from a psychic reading and it was suggested that I don't do any spells for a situation because it took too much energy and would bind me to someone I didn't need to be around for a while. And at the time I thought I understood it and I didn't do anymore spells around this situation but now I'm wondering what it would mean to be magickally bound or binded to someone?

Well Its not good. Im simplistic terms it means hat you and said person are linked together. So they are going to be a great influence on your life and vica versa.

I have made a big mistake doing this in the past, unitentionally. And all I can learn from it is dont mess with things you dont know about.

I really need to unbind myself from this person but gods knows its harder to undo these things.

[PrincessKLS]

How could it be bad if you did a spell that was meant to help them and no ill will and you are feeling better about that person now like they are happier or more relaxed?

[teishabee]

Were they aware this was taking place?

As spells without consent are going against someones will but its up to you what you think is best if this is the case.

Personally I will never do a spell without the person knowing again. I would hate to think someone was trying to control me. Whatever my judgement, Im not all seeing, so I cannot know what is best for everyone. Usually things are best left alone.

[PrincessKLS]

Hmmm, I just know I didn't mean any negativity by it and surely didn't mean any harm toward the person or do any mind control.

[PrincessKLS]

But what is the problem with being binded to the person for a stronger bond? What's wrong with being influenced by that person?

My thoughs maybe different than most so take it for what its worth.

I find a binding to be a spell used to prevent or stop a person from doing a series of acts or actions. Most often the action is seen as a negative by the greater populace and you are trying to stop that action from occuring.

For the most part I think this is the general preceived meaning for a binding spell. Yet it is not the only method of "binding" through spell work.

At times one may bind themselves to another with a stated action or commitment being established to the person. One may in essence be bound to the other by means of an oath or even marriage. The main difference is that in scenario two the party is always aware of the binding and reason for it.

In scenairo one the one giving an oath makes alligence or commitment to another in that persons presence. They knowningly bind themselves to the person for a period of time or duration of a cause.

In scenairo two the two parties mutually bind themselves to each other to stregthen thier love and commitment to each other.

One may also be bound to a person or group based upon a unifying action. Combatant veterans often experience this type of binding. The very action they experienced is what binds them together and make sthem stronger to support each other and make them part of a greater whole.

PrincessKLS in two response you make meniton of doing it for thier own good and being bound for the greater influence. Yet if it is for thier own good then why the binding? If it is to gain influence through them then you are usuing them for your own good not thiers. Yet in both instances the good is for you not for them even though they may gain some good from it.

I am bound to my wife through our marriage vowels and union of our lives. I am bound to my service brethern by actions and events we lived that impacted upon us all. I am bound to one close friend in a friendship that has with stood the passage of both time and distance.

Yet none of these where done to gain in influence (exploiting the persons energy) or as a means of restricing an action that would benefit me. If you attempt to ride upon thier laurels then thier is negativety upon it for it is thier actions that you wish to benefit from. It is thier strife or victory you wish to attach yourself to though you where not involved.

I do think you may have missed one facet of the reading. You did not need to take an aciton for it was not ment for you to do so, nor for you to take an implied credit from it.

No, I wasn't doing a binding spell, not at all, but I was warned by a psychic that doing a spell on a particular person would bind me close TO the person during a time when I wasn't supposed to. And I was just referring to the posts that talked about influence and it not being good, so it confused me.

TRust me I do not want to bind this person; it's just there was a time in their life that I thought what they were doing was hurting themselves, me, and others, so I asked the gods above to help this person out really but still I was advised to not do it.

Nothing is wrong with it as long as both parties are aware of it.

Some people often learn best from the school of hard knocks.

[teishabee]

well I think it best sometimes.

When I was younger it didnt matter how many times my mum would say dont touch that its hot. It was only when I was tending to my burnt fingers that I thought best not touch that again.

I still remember placing my little 3 yr old hand on the hot iron the same way after being told it was hot and saying: "not hot" while doing so, 40 yrs later. :weirdsmil

Well, yes, that's generally the case. Most magical work requires some sort of bond to be effective, and someone who's aware of that bond's existence can turn it back around on you.

it's just there was a time in their life that I thought what they were doing was hurting themselves, me, and others
That's why a good step is to actually talk to the person and let him know that what he's doing is hurtful to you. If that doesn't work -- if he doesn't care enough about your well-being to stop doing what he's doing -- then the next step is to remove yourself from that person.

This goes along the line of saying, "I'm praying for so-and-so." If you're not doing it with their knowledge and permission, then it's unwelcome; don't do it.

Because people change. Friends split apart, covens implode, and divorces occur, not always amicably. Even bonds that are gone into with all parties in complete agreement can be difficult if not damn near impossible to sever when things go awry.
