I need some advice regarding spells

[Spring]

Hi, I need some advice something has happened in my life recently and I think that it was the work of magic by another against me and someone close to me.
I need some help over how you break a spell cast against you and how I then protect myself and others against any more castings against us.
This magic was not cast for the good of all and I think it was cast at summer solstice.

Does anyone have any tips or advice that could help me?

First things first...

1.) What makes you think that you are under attack?

2.) Did you do anything to this person that may have provoked an attack?

3.) Are you sure that you are under attack?

If you can give the details of the situation, then I may be able to offer you better advise than just telling you different kinds of sheilding that you can use, or other ways of getting who ever is doing this to leave you alone...

Merry Meet Kaylara,

I do really like it here I have been on the site ever since I found it this morning!

Okay the questions:

I do not know for certain I am under attack however it was a thought that came to m whilst meditating about the situation, then when I looked on the calendar at when the various events occured they tied in with summer solstice and the second day of a full moon then I remembered that the castings I had done had all had negative affects on me nightmares, struggling to focus and feelings of deep uncertainity.
There is somebody else involved and all through this there behaviour has been not only been totally out of charcter but very confused and cold it has been like talking to somebody I dont know that looks like them.
I then consulted the runes read and it said that the something is crossing my path that is beyond my control and is stealthy and powerful.

Do you need any more information or are there any other questions you need answering?
I really appreciate your help it's so nice to not feel alone.

Blessings,
Spring

Ok... What have you done so far to protect yourself? And what kind of castings were you doing that are causing you to have nightmares? Do you think that this other person is the one who is working against you? Are there other details that the runes said that you may have over looked?
I just need to get details to be able to give the best advice I can... If you want, you can pm or e-mail me, if the details are too private. ;)

Kaylara,

The castings I have been doing have been loving candle magic and healing the rift spells.
I dont know whether i could be missing something with the runes- possibly.
I think the other person I described is under the influence of the attackers magic.

As for protection so far I not a lot as I dont know where to start.
What do you think?

Blessings,
Spring

Alrighty... This is a hard one...

First, IMHO, you should learn how to defend yourself before you do any more spells. Second, forget love spells of any kind... They are more trouble than they're worth. Third, talk to this person who you think is under the influence of magick... They may just be going through things that they aren't telling you.

My other questions are... How long have you been practicing? Can you sense, see, and/or direct energy? Why are you casting the spells that you have cast?

The reason I have cast the spells I have cast is that the third person and I have some kind of rift I dont understand and when speaking to them they dont understand where it has come from either they just know its there.
I have only cast two and the rest has all been mediatation and visualization. It has all been very healing orienated.

I have only been practising for about 6 months but have been researching and reading for 6 months prior to that.

Do you have any suggestions over strong protection spells or anyway I can work out exactly what is going on?

What have you been doing in mundane terms to close the rift between you and this person? Magickal workings will have no effect if you take no mundane steps to resolve the problem at hand.

It would be a good idea to learn how to control your energy and use sheilding before doing anymore magick. Once you get used to working with energy, it will be easier for you to fix a spell gone awry. If you cannot protect yourself, you could find yourself in trouble. Sheilding is a somewhat easy technique that is similar to casting a circle that follows you around and is much smaller. It really depends on what the desired effect is for the sheild. A mirror shield will send back anything good or bad that is sent towards you back to who ever is sending things your way. I prefer a regular ole' shield. You have to be able to control your energy to put up a shield.

One way of learning how to do this is by making an energy ball and holding it... Changing it's colors, sizes, etc. There are techniques for this that can be found in the Divination forum.

When you are ready, you can expand this energy ball to encompass your body. It will take conscious effort to keep this shield up at first. But the more you get used to having it up, the easier it will become to maintain it.

I hope that this helps... I really find that casting defensive spells to be inefficient, but that is me, you may find that they are wonderful.

It really is imperative that you learn how to work with energy before trying to direct it. This may be one of the reasons why your spells have not been having the desired effect, mis-directed energy.

Just a thought...

I always try protection and deflection before anything else. Whether you imagine yourself shielded by a sphere of barbed wire or mirrors, or even wrapped up in a big cuddly quilt, you can prevent not good energy from getting to you... Once you get stronger and more experienced you shouldn't have too much of a problem anyway - it's just somewhat like your power and wisdom creating a buffer around you as you grow.
