FAQ

I get a lot of e-mails from people asking different questions after reading through this webpage.... mostly about the spells....... so, while I don't mind questions, please look here to see if your question has been asked before, and an answer provided....

Question/s
"What does it mean when the spell says this _____________"
"The spell says do do this ____________ why?"
"Can you tell me why ___________?"
etc.

Answer:
Unless I was the Author of the spell, I can only guesstimate what the answer is.  In most cases, I wasn't the author of that particular spell,  (it tells you who where it says "submitted by ___").  In some cases I can contact the author to pass on your question, in some cases I can answer the question, and in some cases the author has left the list (so is not contactable) and I don't know the answer.  e-mail me, and I'll see what I can do, but please remember that chances are, I wasn't the author.

Question
"The spell calls for ___(ingredient)___ but I don't have it, what can I do?"

Answer:
Most herbs have several different properties, so there are many herbs that have the same properties (when I say "herbs" I use that term to mean all plant matter used in spells).  My Herbal Substitutions page on my website may assist in this.  http://bos.obsidianstar.net - look under Magickal herbs, then substitutions.

If it is a candle colour you can't get - then use white (White is in essence all colours, so it is acceptable to use a white candle in place of any colour candle).  If you can't burn candles, then try leaving it unlit.

Incense sticks (AKA "joss" sticks") may be used as incense in place of grinding your own herbs.

If it calls for an item (such as a shell or something), try to think of what that item symbolises, and if you can think of an item you do have which symbolises the same thing.

Question
"I did the spell for _______ and it didn't work"

Answer:
There are many reasons why spells don't work.  Please see this section for more infomation.

Question/s
"your spell says ________ and that's wrong"
"This information is incorrect, why did you write it?"
"It is not possible to do ___(type of spell)_____..... why do you have one up there"
"It's against the Wiccan Rede to do this spell _______"
etc.

Answer:
In most cases, I wasn't the author of that particular spell,  (it tells you who where it says "submitted by ___").  In some cases I can contact the author to pass on your concerns, in some cases I can answer the concerns, and in some cases the author has left the list (so is not contactable) and I don't know the answer.  e-mail me, and I'll see what I can do, but please remember that chances are, I wasn't the author.

Some spells are also submitted by people with a lot of experience, and some with none.  Some people follow a different path than others.

Just because the spell is up on the page, it doesn't mean I agree with it's use.  I personally am Wiccan, and there are non-Wiccan spells on those pages.  It does not mean I approve of them, however to censor them is not fair, so they are added to the site.
