Have you done a spell that went in a total different direction than what you wanted?
  Aye! It sucked! D=
  No, I can't say that I have. I'm pretty careful.
  I don't know if I have or not, at least can't think of one right now.
  Poll whore.

Have you ever done a spell that totally backfired on you due to lack of specifics? I know I have!


I used to really be self-conscious about myself and had a very low self-esteem, (I kind of still do but not as badly.) I always felt like the ugly girl and was very lonely relationship-wise, everyone gets that way I suppose, but it was really bad for me since I used to be so co-dependant. I decided to take action about that about a year ago I did a spell to help boost my self-esteem and make me attractive to others around me so I'd feel better about myself. Well as noble as the first part was, the second was a huge mistake. After a few months I began to get a lot of extra "attention" from both guys and girls around me. At first I welcomed the attention, I never felt better in my life. But when I met someone I wanted to actually be with the attention continued, and not only did it continue but it got me hurt. Not only did it get me hurt but I was dating a bear compared to my other suitors, and a very aggressive one at that. Anyone who so much as winked at me got hurt by him if he caught them or if someone saw it and told him. That was far from what I wanted. Even after I left him I found myself in similar positions, and even to this day I have to be very careful when it comes to dating or going out. Now I know I'm not attractive enough to spark so much chaos, and even if I was it seems too much like a dominos effect for me to blow it off as coincidence. I've tried countering it, but the counter-spells never really seemed to work because a part of me doesn't fully want it to go away, I just don't want anyone else to get hurt.


Has anyone had any experiences similar when it came to spells going wrong?

I haven’t personally (at least that I can think of off the top of my head) but a friend of mine did a love spell to bring the "perfect love" to her, and the next day there was a stray dog at her door that wouldn't leave her alone and followed her everywhere... she forgot to specify that she wanted a HUMAN love LOL.

Aww! That's actually really cute, I wish if mine backfired it would have done so in that way instead of an aggressive annoying way! Lol.

As I have always said...."Be careful what you wish for, you just may get it!"

I once cast a spell to find a good friend and a good love. Well, much as your friend, Shinys, I found a good friend too, but it was a cat! Oh well, the cat gave me many years of friendship and love!

For these kinds of reasons and usual outcomes I usually dont like doing soells for personal gain.. While it could have a good effect at first usually it turns into a nightmare at the end, and if you asked me it would almost seem like a lesson. You know, dont play with matches or you may get a fire type of lesson. Not to mention it feels, to me anyways, it's not worth the risk

I fear them personal gain spells, so I never mess with them, because it is as they say, "Becareful for what you wish for"

Besides, if you ask for it in a spell it doesnt seem as real anymore, and I like my personal gains to be earned or naturally come to me. And on that note I leave with the other phrase, "Be greatful for what you have, and dont dwell on what you dont have and wish you did."
