    It’s hard to say. If you cast a magic spell, it’s possible that you’ll get the result that you want, but it would be very hard to prove that the spell actually caused the result (as opposed to luck or chance). Sometimes there can also be an element of self-fulfilling prophecy. For example, if you cast a charm to give yourself luck or success in a particular task, you might do better just because you feel more confident.

  • Question
    Can I enchant an object (like a necklace or a bracelet or a brush) for certain purposes, and what are the possibilities and how do I begin?
    Community Answer
    You can enchant an object for any intent or purpose. Just make sure to be specific about it: success, love, protection, good luck are all examples. I recommend having a basis in magick, and do it like you would any spell. Charge your energy, channel it into your purpose while holding the object. Extra things you could do to strengthen the enchantment include runes.
  • Question
    What is a simpler form to achieve magic?
    Community Answer
    To become adept at magic, you need to pick up skills and practice, just like anything else. Do not expect to achieve any results or satisfaction by rushing through the process. Magic isn't what you see in the movies, but you'll have to learn what it really is through the process. Searching the web or teachers may show you a simpler way, but if your heart isn't in it, the magic will never be real for you.
  • Question
    At 47, is it too late for me to begin practicing magic? Also, how can I find a teacher or coven in my area?
    Community Answer
    It's never too late to start, as long as you are able and willing to dedicate real time and effort. A lot of the baseline of magic is just knowing the basics -- who you are and what sorts of things interact with you in specific ways. You have to get to know yourself on a whole new level. Its a change in mental state and awareness.

    Are alchemy and magic similar?

  • Question
    Why don't I hear anything about using magic on the news or on other media?

    Because such media typically focuses on objective, verifiable occurrences. There is no real evidence of magic existing or affecting world events, and most adults don't believe in magic.

    What does black magic do?

  • Question
    How can I cast a spell to make someone love me?
    Community Answer
    There are many spells online that will work for making someone fall in love. Search for what you want, and I can assure you that you will eventually find the right spell for you. However, be careful of your intentions! A rule of the Wiccan/pagan religions is that whatever is sent out comes back threefold. So if you are willing to manipulate someone into loving you, you must deal with the consequences that will come.

    How do I practice magic when others I live with hate things like that?

    Do it in secret at night, at a friend's place, outside, etc. If you really want to use magic, no one has the right to stop you. However, make sure you don't use magic with harmful intent, as then you're more likely to get in all kinds of trouble.

  • Question
    I am a Potterhead and I want to know if this will let me feel like I am at Hogwarts. Will this?
    Mag -narwhal
    Community Answer
    No this will probably not make you feel like you are at Hogwarts. There are the aesthetic things like no classmates or teachers but there's also the magic. Occult and witch magic are not like magic in movies you can't throw fire or fly, but you can connect with spirits and other people. Change your own and other's outlooks, and do spells that affect life. The important thing to note is that movie magic is instant real magic is not.
  • Question
    How can I be a good witch?
    Mag -narwhal
    Community Answer
    If you mean good as in a personality then being a good witch is as simple as being a good person. If you don't hurt anyone intentionally and are kind you are good. If you mean good as in skill then it is just practice based. The more you can meditate and understand your self the easier magic and spirits will be to connect with.
