will a spell work if you don't care about the outcome?


I've recently been doing small spells to make my life better, such as an organization spell, a confidence spell, and a spell for focus. These rituals are great because they enhance my life, but I don't really care too much about the outcome. Sure, they help, but I'm not solving a major problem in my life, like a financial crisis or something.

I used to think that spells didn't work unless you really care, but turns out: that's not true. As long as you put enough effort into a spell, it can work.

For a successful spell, you need to:

  1. Raise enough energy to complete the spell, whether or not you care
  2. Work through any shadow issues before casting the spell
  3. Follow the right formula (ingredients, sigil, etc.)

As long as you're willing to put the work in and actually raise the energy, you can do a spell and NOT care about the outcome one bit.

If you're having trouble getting your spells to work, here are some posts that might help.

Divination is a fascinating field, but let's be real—it can also be incredibly daunting. The intricacies of tarot, astrology, and rune casting could fill entire libraries.
