I have an avid interest in anything unusual and I've always wanted to be proved wrong. I've been told I have a 'closed third eye' which according to spiritualists means I don't believe.
I've just been perusing this site on witchcraft and spells..
On here there are spells for money, marriage, love, lottery and court cases!.. if these were all true, then wouldn't we all be millionaires and wouldn't we all win court cases?
In view of the recent bank charge court cases, everyone is winning, perhaps a spell has been cast... :shock:
What do others think?
Frankly I dont believe....
As you say......We would all cast a spell to our own gain wouldnt we..
In mine Gordon Browns bollox would turn square,rot in each corner,fester and never fall off....
Yes for me you make your own luck in this world but not with spells. Hard work and self discipline seem to me to be the real way to prosper not relying on some chance thing happening or some words to affect/effect ??? your life.
Words are powerful but only if you let them be.
For my money its you who gets you where you want to be. No matter how long or hard the struggle is. If you don't get there its cause you never made enough effort or it was an unrealistic goal in the first place, given your ability and situation.
You're never going to be able to make snowballs in the desert.

I was always under the impression that a spell only worked if you wished good on others.
You can't use witchcraft for own personal gain.
I could be wrong, I usually am!!!
Expecto patronum is the widely used spell in our house thanks to HP! Translates as "I expect a guardian"
As some people know on SH I have recently bought a CD on how to sing and am training my voice.
Anyhow I was practicing my singing in the garden very early one morning (when no human was about) and a local cat stopped in her tracks 'spell bound' does that count?
im rather sceptial to be honest but as you will have seen from an ealier thread i have a close friend who is a white witch. now we not talked about it a very long time but when i give her the gift i brought her im sure we will chat more about it. if you can prove things to me i usually have to believe, but in this it does seem hard to prove, although i have just had done 3 different types of tarot reading and :shock:
I think reading between the lines, there is a lot to spellcasting than meets the eye (or rather my eye).. maybe it's not a case of having a 'shut 3rd eye' but rather a case of ignorance and not knowing much about the subject. Who knows, either way it would be nice to help the world as simply as that site predicts wouldn't it? :high-smile:
Spells and Talismans, do they work?
No! but then again?
If I were to cast a spell to help you in love, would it have any effect on the other person? No, but it may help build your confidence. That in it's self may help you in love. So yes by effecting your confidence the spell could work. So the answer is no and yes.
Could I effect your opinion of me, yes I do it each day. Can I make so one do what I wish, yes. The fact is we all place 'spells' on others. We are each effected by others, that is the real magic.
I used to be quite open minded about these things. Must have been the Gaelic paganism in me. “Beware the banshee” and all that shite. I even went to see a tarot reader and was blown away by how she really "got me". Well im a lot more pessimistic now.
I’m a massive fan of Darrin Brown. Believer or no in mysticism or organised religion you really should read his book. In it he revisits issues raised in his messiah special and two tv series’ in particular "Cold reading".
In the messiah tv special he wrote personalised readings for several ladies based on there drawing of the outline of there hand. Each of them was blown away by how accurately Darrin had “got them”. At the end of the show he gets all the ladies together to compare readings. There exactly the same! In the book he prints the phony reading in full. When you read it you will think it is you he is describing.
In his trick of the mind series a lady became controlled by a voodoo doll Darrin made that had her ring in it. At the end he showed her that the ring wasn’t in it, it never left her finger. She completely invested herself in the doll really having power over her.
And OMG the zombie video game mind f*$k stunt. If you have cable TV you can watch it on 4oD.
He's at the B’ham Hippodrome in May. I didn’t find out in time. It sold out very quickly. But I'll go down on the night anyway and queue for returns.
Friday x
P.S Does anyone want to take me to Strictly Ballroom at the Hippo. Its the last night this Sat. Been told its fantastic.
I'm not sure I believe or not because I don't have any information on which to base my decision.
I'm a believer of Science than Hocus Pocus!
I would love to believe in magic/mysticism/supernatural and all these sort of things. Life would be far more interesting (though i feel a lot more dagerous.
Concerning the natural world and the science explaining it. All is still in it's infancy. And so the magic is there just waiting for science to catch up.
Despite being day to day an illogical person, I've always been scientific in approach to things like this. However, after meeting DF and Earthy and people like them I've become ever more open minded.
Who knows whats out there. Some things just can't be explained by science......
