Dear Rose After the longest year my husband is back in my life. He has been living with a woman and her three year old daughter for the past seven months. She appears to have done some spell work on him to keep him in the relationship. There appears to be no love there, he truly loves me but she is using her daughter to brainwash him into leaving me and making him believe that they are a family. Also, he has become unemployed, appears to be depressed and isn’t even taking care of his physical appearance. I believe that his soul is asking me to get him out of this situation. What do I do? Veronica

Hello there Veronica, Well dear, it sounds to me like your husband is suffering from some rather classic symptoms of depression, and as such, my first bit of advice would be to encourage him to seek out some amount of professional assistance for that issue. As to the other woman using her child to brainwash him, that is a terribly cruel and unfair thing to do to either of them, your husband or the child involved. However it is not surprising that your husband would be torn up about such a thing. After seven months, there is little question that the three year old little girl has begun to bond to him and so he surely knows that leaving her mother will invariably hurt her as well. And well, being the kind of man that is worthy of your love, he obviously does not want to hurt the child. As to the other woman casting less than savory magics upon your husband, if that is the case, here is a little spell that should help ward that off…. 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.
