To Rose I have been doing magic for a long time now. I understand it and am noit one of theose people who rushed straght into spell craft. everytime I have done a spell it has only half, a queter, or not worked at all. For example I did a spell a long time ago on a lady calld Trixi she has always been a mum to me but becouse she was afraid of what others might think about the fakt that I am not biolgicly her doughter, she never seed it in words to e around any one else, meening I could not call her mumm by name, so I cast a spell to make her more comfident not to care about what anyone other then us think of it, and to alow me to call her mum, a couple of weeks later we spoke privitly and she agrede to me calling her mum! she was so happy about it, after that I got the same uncomfidence as her so I cast anouther spell to make every one agree whith our feelings and it worked but then she goy the uncomfidence back and told me in front of others that I could call her mum but she cant be that to me! whitch was a lie. even theo I am alowd to call her mum I cant and I dont no why!!!!!!!!! Than I did a love spell on a guy that I love and have nowen for years to break up with his partner and return to me! but he only broke up with his partner, and then eed no to me. why dose my magic only half a qoueter or not work?

Hello there dear,
One of the questions that I am most often asked is simply, “Does magic really exist – and if so, then how can I go about learning to do it?”
Well, my short answer to this is, “Yes, in my opinion, magic does really exist – and like anything else worth doing, you learn through lots of practice and hard work.”
Now let me go ahead and elaborate and explain a bit more. To me, magic is simply a term attached to tapping into previously forgotten or unlearned human potential. I believe that there was a time when many more goodly people were able to perform feats that would typically be referred to in common vernacular as “magic” – but, unfortunately, over the centuries as science and logic and so called rational thought came into ascendance, what had been learned slowly became unlearned. The old ways were abandoned and forgotten in the relentless pursuit of what was the equivalent of the next big fad.
This, of course, happened for a variety of reasons. For some it was simple lack of practice and willpower. For others it was that they had never developed the gifts in the first place. And for yet others, there was the forceful conversion from the wise crafts to the more socially acceptable modes of science and logic – and it is only in recent times that the bigotry has subsided enough to allow practitioners to once again be open with their art… at least in the majority of the western world.
As to how to learn to do it, well, the majority of it is about self discipline and willpower. It is amazing what the human will is capable of once we learn how to focus and hone it. But, again, learning this is not a quick or easy process. It takes time and effort… and is certainly not for people looking for instant gratification or overnight results.
For those interested in learning proper techniques for focusing their will and practicing magics, I would suggest a trip to either a good bookstore that caters to such… or even just a brief sojourn to the local library. Study is the start… and practice does, indeed, make perfect.
