I need to discuss a few of my clients who work hard to make magick part of their lives. I am mentioning this because for all my clients if you practice what these clients do – you will find that magick works for you in profound and unexpected ways. I know when you are feeling down it can be difficult to maintain a positive outlook but when it comes to spells and magick, I cannot stress this enough. My clients are in general very positive people and believe me if this is your disposition that helps but you can really make magick more effective for yourself by keeping this short-list in mind.

• Turn that frown upside-down! For some clients this is the last thing in the world they want to do. They are miserable and unhappy and that is just the way they are because that is how things are in their lives. Do not let this happen to you! If you feel yourself starting to go all morose and down-trodden just SMILE! It sounds nuts but it really works. Smile and go to a happy place in your mind. Replay a happy memory (remember in X-Men First Class when Professor X did this for a Young Magneto – helped him find a good memory of celebrating his birthday with his family as a child – pretend Professor X is doing the same for you!) and let that become your focus for a few second. Eventually after a little practice you will become more positive on a daily basis.
• Let it go. This is important about spell work on the clients end. There is no value at all in obsessing over the spell or results once the spell has been cast. You need to let it go and move on with how you live your life. The spell works without your attention to it. Once you’ve completed your part (if there is anything you need to do on your end) the advice is ALWAYS to walk away and let it go.
• Distract yourself so you do not obsess. One of my clients recently asked if it was ok for her to to date while waiting for a deep love commitment issue to pan out. This is a long-term relationship goal that needs repair and will obviously take time. I told her it is healthy and natural to feel the way she does and to absolutely enjoy herself. The great thing about spells is that they work for you energetically while you go about your life. Nothing stops – in fact it is best if you are distracted for the spell so you don’t obsess. An engaged mind is a receptive mind and this is very positive for magick.
• Be patient. Another client of mine is really great about being patient. We have worked on a variety of issues over the years and some were so complex that it took a longer than usual time to come to fruition. This client stuck with it though and believed in a positive outcome so when it finally manifested he was thrilled he’d put the time and patience into it. Spells do not often take longer to manifest than expected but it can happen and you must be open to accepting this.
• Keep the faith. You must BELIEVE. One of my clients uses magick on a monthly basis for very serious marital concerns in her life with her husband. I have been working with her for a decade now and she has used magick in incredible ways to make a better life for her, her family and in her relationship with her husband. She BELIEVES in magick and it fills up her life with promise and happiness. Your belief gives you the power to use your focused will and intention in accordance with will to CHANGE your life.

The last thing I will mention which is good advice for clients, for anyone really and something that I truly believe with all my heart, said of course by The Beatles:

On New Year’s Day I cast my Chinese Good Fortune Spell – I have been doing this since my very first year online and this marks my tenth in 2013. This is a big year for me, ten years doing what I love online, casting spells for a living, who would have ever thought that a modern day witch could make her living doing what an old-timey witch who lived in a village did? But better I have clients all over the world and this truly is global witchcraft!

I am blessed to be able to do the work I do and help people the way I can. Every facet of witchcraft is part of my life and I think back upon a conversation I had with an old friend of mine about a dozen years ago when we were considering the ways our fortunes might go.

We both worked in media at the time and were somewhat burned out. I said something about wanting to go into candle-making or soap-crafting because I hungered to have a life that focused on something real and less virtual. I didn’t know it then but soon thereafter I discussed my idea of casting spells for a living and my friend suggested that I have an online presence. How grateful I am that I followed her advice.

It was slow at first, took about a year and then some for the site to take off and for me to reach people. I spent a fortune on advertising back then (this was all new on the internet – there was no market yet in online advertising) and worked so hard for my handful of clients. Those same clients in the early days are still clients today and I cannot believe the amazing journey we have taken together.

I have had incredible good fortune as a witch so I can testify to the validity of this particular spell since I include myself in its casting every year. I have reduced the price this year and hope you will all take part.

I am not normally a witch who casts for herself but lately I have had great success in doing so with several love spells and the Mystic Mars Spell I have cast for myself every month for ten years. I believe that abundance, prosperity and good fortune is something you need to really focus on and work at and this spell does just that for you.

My new year plans include an over-haul for my sites, new spells, readings, talismans and witch-crafted goods I will be selling.

Happy New Year in advance and may the snake be good to you!

This is the last of my millennium castings on 12-12-12. It’s hard to believe that 12 years are about to pass away and that I have completed 9 special castings since I went live with my site mysticspells.com. I used the dates wisely covering many different topics and concerns and saved love for the final casting. I am also adding a special magickal component to the casting – a little bonus that each client can choose to further tailor the spell to their specific needs. I am excited about the spell because this is one I am casting also for myself (even a witch needs a little help in love sometimes).

The more I learn about love the more I realize that we all need help understanding our own hearts. What makes us feel the way we do about people? Is it some mystical force or our psychology? perhaps even in our DNA? Maybe it’s past lives converging in the here and now and we are trying to get things right?

For myself I believe in the less clinical psychological approach to things (which makes sense since I am a witch) and I see love as a magickal force in the Universe that drives us in a way that nothing else can. It also can let us down and leave us shattered in its wake but that is the cost of loving greatly and risking it all for the love we need.

We all want to be loved yet some people need to do the loving, that is just as important to them, perhaps more so than being loved. It can be a dangerous precipice to tread upon since putting someone before yourself can build resentment. I try to focus on the Buddhist principle of non-attachment (very difficult to do when you are in love) and there are times when I can see clearly through my possible resentments and find a peace in the very acting of loving someone freely.

We all want our happiness and it is love that gives us the reason to live and be truly happy on a kind of level that nothing else can.

You can get the love you desire and desire to give by putting faith in the time of 12-12-12 and this once in a lifetime occasion for a spell that I have worked on for nearly a year. I am thrilled to share this spell with my clients and friends.

I have two spots left for 12-12-12 – please use this link to visit mysticspells.com and read more about the spell.

This is the last chance for this until 3001.

I’ve been casting a number of custom spells lately that I have yet to offer on the site. One of them is called Open Path to Love. This is a Voodoo spell that I created for a long-term client about two years ago and I have been casting it for other clients in similar circumstances since then. I have not put it up on the site for sale yet because I seriously test all my spells before I feel they are right for public consumption.

This spell however has definitely met the criterion since it has been extremely successful for my custom clients. When I have a spell that can crossover many different circumstances then I will decide to put it on the site.

Some spells don’t make the site because they are only for a limited clientele and will not have a wide audience. Other spells are too complex for me to cast on a regular basis. I like to keep things relatively simple when I have many spells to cast at once, so my energy dispersal is at a minimum. I am the original energy conservationist - if I am tapped out of energy, I do no good for anyone!

I’ve been casting more often to meet clients needs, getting on spells on nearly a daily basis sometimes and that works as long as I re-charge and am well-rested.

I have a number of new spells that will make the cut soon when I update the site especially for Samhain which I am looking forward to as usual. Not sure yet what kind of celebration I will have but there will be casting, feasting and communing with the dead!

If you think you might be interested in my Open Path to Love Spell – drop me a line.

Only two spots left for my Blue Moon Wish Spell and I am taking payments so check it out – I won’t be casting it again until 2015!

One of the testimonials from a previous casting:

“When I got this spell (Blue Moon) I had pretty much given up on just about everything in my life. I figured it couldn’t hurt to use a spell like this so why not? I wrote my wish down just like you said and put the envelope with the wish in a book that was meaningful to me in my bookcase. I never even thought about it again but over the next two years, one by one all the situations in my life began to change for the better. That’s when I thought to myself – hey what a second, wasn’t that like the spell you had done? That wish you made? Sure enough, two years later I read my wish and realized that to the exact letter of what I had written had come true. Nothing short of a miracle. Thank you for everything.” – Jason Ruskin
