Hi Rose, my name is hayden and Ive been studying witchcraft and wicca for well over 7 years now, odd things hav been occuring over these 7 years that I was wondering if you were able to explain in anyway you could. My first issue is related towards ghostly contact, over the years there have been times where I thought I heard someone call me or yell out my name when i asked noone was asking for me, or sometimes I have trouble getting to sleep and i can hear footsteps inside the house when noone is around or everyone is sound asleep, sometimes I hear very fast running movements outside my window in my bedroom which is facing in the backyard where ive looked outside numerous times to find as to no reason why or where the sound came from. There have been times where ive seen shadowy figures that seem to appear and later disapear, some in the shape of people and other times in black robes and like i said its only when i approach that they move away or vanish and im left confused, this occures in both daytime and night time. My final problem to your advice that i seek an answer to is that about jinxes, powers and witchcraft. Im not very open about witchcraft towards friends and family but they know i show an interest in it and have some understanding of it, however in the past 3 years ive become somewhat of a suspicion towards my friend of odd events as most of the odd events occuring are usually happening just when im around. Most of these occurences include knowing what they were thinking for instance id say something or mention something and theyd be like hey I was just thinking about that and other times whereid say something will happen and it happens that day other times ive been around my friend everyday she brings her ipod to school by the way im in yr10 so they can be a bit not open minded sometimes and well when ever she brings it as soon i sit at the table it drop onto the ground and the screen shatters this occured twice and 4 times with her mp3 player other occurences include id say I hope you get sick or something just as a joke towards eachother and then 2 days or a week later he or she will fall ill and unable to get out of bed almost up to a week. other occurences happen at work as I work part time after school at a kfc store, we get really busy at one time and I was just saying something like ‘ man i wished these customers would go away’ about 5-10 minutes later we get a blackout which lasts the entire night and it happened the next day for about 30 minutes when i was at school and around 1:30 in the afternoon i said to my friend i hope we hav another black out. other occurences involve something like id say u got flower everywhere wen I was pointing at their clothes and the flower which is ontop of a bench immedietly fell after I said it ruining their floors which they just cleaned, this has happened 3 times in the same week, there are other occurences but this is getting to be a LONG question. My friends know all about the events that i mentioned and some are under the suspicion that I have a hidden power or untapped ability something where I make what I mention or think about happen. One of my friends thinks i can see into the futute or soemthing but its begining to make me wonder , because it happens when I least suspect it and it occurs when I want it to happen or when im discussing with someone something related to it, my friend is like oh hayden using that black magic but I mean it’s odd one person at work annoyeed me and a salt shaker flew at them when it was infront of them, I suspected some form of telekinesis but ive been doing techniques and have yet to see results. can the whole practice of witchcraft be awakening some mysterious mystical power that I may posess from participating in it, and if so how can I learn to control it cause it is causing damage and everyone believes it comes from me and im begining to believe them too.

A Spell to Counter Another’s Magic
If, for some reason you believe that another person is using magic in order to adversely affect you in some way, you can make use of this simple spell to remove their negative influences.

What you will need:
Two teaspoons of almond oil
Rosemary essential oil
A mixing bottle
A sheet of white paper
A black ink pen
A white altar candle
A purple taper candle
A fireproof bowl

Place three drops of the rosemary essential oil and the two teaspoons of almond oil in the mixing bottle. Charge the mixture by rolling the bottle between the palms of your hands, focusing your thoughts on the purpose of your spell-weaving as you do so. Set this aside.
Light the white candle, focusing on the flame. As you do this envision whomever is responsible for the negative influence upon you growing smaller and smaller within the confines to the flame.
Anoint the purple candle with the charged oils, drawing the oil away from you as you do so. This will help to redirect the negative influences away from you as well. Now set this candle aside.
On the white paper write the words, “All blocks are now cast aside.” Fold the piece of paper in half three times.
Now light the purple candle and use its flame to set fire to the folded paper. Place the lit piece of paper into the fireproof bowl.
Focus on the flames, repeat the following aloud three times:
“As this paper burns away,
Elements please hear me pray,
Turn back the ill will sent to me,
And send it on its way.”

As the flame dims, see the ill dissolving with them, then bring the session to an end by smothering the flame the rest of the way.
