Greetings! I am happy to hear that you are trying to get your spells right and that you are willing to try again until you get it straight. That is pure, unbridled dedication. Good for you. There are many reasons why spells may not work: 1. You may be using someone else’s words; for example, you may be taking the free spells offered online and just chanting them without really thinking about the words and their impact on your life. To solve this problem, you have to create your own spells. There are some hints on this website on how to create your own spells. By meditating and visualizing your spells and chanting them with strong conviction, your wishes are pushed into the universe with such force that it HAS TO WORK! or as we say, it has already worked. you just need to see it in YOUR reality. For example, if you really need money and you pick up a spell online that says “Bring me money”, when you chant these words, do you visualize money coming to you and how you will feel when the money is actually in your hands? How you will share it with others, how you will help heal someone you love, how you will share it with your neighbors and so on. The experience of having the money or wealth as seen by your inner mind directly creates that wealth for you. The stronger the experience, the more possible it becomes in your reality. 2. Your sacred space or circle may not be secure enough. Let us say that you live alone and you have cleared a space for your altar. While you sit in that space and cast your spell, if there are negative thoughts that arise in your mind, these negative thoughts will erase the positive effects of your spell. Immediately! That’s why its so important to have a sacred space and a circle in which your energies will remain positive and focused on the goal at hand. 3. If your sacred space is not private enough, if you have children or adults roaming around the house, their energies will interfere with your concentration and as a direct result, with your intentions. So here again, we see that the spell has lost its focus, its goal. Now you know what can happen if the spell is not worked in clean, sacred surroundings. It takes a lot of practice and patience, but I can guarantee you that you will become a very wise witch if you keep working at improving your spells, day by day. Brightest Blessings!
