Question 3

What factors influence the manifestation time of a spell?

Accepted Answer

1. Intent and Focus: A caster's clear and strong intent promotes quicker results.

2. Complexity of the Spell: Simple spells tend to manifest faster than more intricate ones.

3. Energy and Resources: The caster's emotional and physical state, along with their available magical energy, can impact manifestation speed.

4. Alignment with Universal Laws: Spells that align with natural laws and the universe tend to manifest more quickly than those that go against them.

5. Timing and Astrological Factors: Certain times or astrological alignments may speed up the manifestation process.

6. Environmental Conditions: The surrounding energy and influences can also affect how quickly a spell takes effect.

7. Practice and Experience: More experienced casters can often manifest spells more quickly due to their skill level.

In addition, mental health plays a crucial role:

8. Practitioner's Mental Health: A caster's emotional state can enhance or hinder focus and energy, impacting spell effectiveness.

9. Client's Mental Health: The mental well-being of the person the spell is intended for can also affect outcomes; a balanced individual may yield faster results.

10. Target's Mental Health: If the spell targets someone, that person's mental state can influence their response and the spell's effectiveness.

Emotional distress or instability in any party can scatter energy and slow manifestation. Therefore, considering the mental well-being of all involved is essential for successful spellwork.

Question 4

Can I speed up the manifestation of a spell?

Accepted Answer

Clarity and Specificity of Intention

Be incredibly precise about what you want. Vague intentions lead to vague results, or delayed ones. The clearer your target, the easier it is for the universe to deliver. Don't just want "more money"; specify how much and for what.

Consistent Action (Inspired Action)

Spells aren't a "one-and-done" deal where you just sit back and wait. You need to take inspired action towards your goal in the mundane world. If you're seeking a new job, for instance, a spell might open doors, but you still need to apply for jobs, network, and prepare for interviews. The magic provides the fertile ground and opens the path, but you have to walk it.

Release and Detachment

This is crucial and often overlooked. Once you've cast the spell and set your intention, release any obsessive thoughts or doubts about how or when it will manifest. Constantly checking for results or worrying about the process can actually create resistance and slow things down. Trust that the energy is working and detach from the outcome. This creates space for the magic to unfold.

Raising Your Vibration

Engage in activities that make you feel good, joyful, and abundant. This aligns your personal energy with the positive outcome you're seeking, effectively making you a stronger magnet for it. Practices like gratitude, meditation, and self-care can significantly help with this.

Addressing Limiting Beliefs

Subconscious doubts or beliefs that you are unworthy of your desired outcome can actively block manifestation. Shadow work, as we discuss in Gnōsis AEI, is paramount here. Confronting and transforming these inner barriers will clear the path for quicker results.

Energetic Reinforcement

Regularly revisit your intention through short visualizations, affirmations, or even brief, simple rituals. This isn't about re-casting the entire spell, but more like tending to a garden – nurturing the seed you've already planted.
The speed of manifestation often correlates with how much internal and external resistance you have to the desired outcome. The less resistance, the faster the flow.

Question 6

What is a Gris-Gris bag and how does it function?

Accepted Answer

A Gris-Gris bag is a traditional magical talisman—a small cloth pouch filled with specific items chosen for their magical properties. Each item in the bag contributes to its intended purpose, whether that's protection, luck, love, or other goals. Think of it like creating a magical recipe—each ingredient (herbs, stones, oils, etc.) adds its own energy to create the desired effect. The bag becomes a portable focus point for your magical intention. These bags should be created with clear intention, filled with purposefully chosen items, kept close to you, treated with respect, and never opened once sealed. The effectiveness of a Gris-Gris bag comes from both the carefully selected contents and the focused intention put into its creation.

Question 7

How can I influence the outcome of a spell?

Accepted Answer

To influence the outcome of a spell, one must focus on several key elements, primarily will, unwavering focus, and a deep understanding of magical principles.

Intention and Visualization

The clarity of intention is paramount. Before casting, the practitioner must know exactly what they want to achieve; vague intentions lead to vague results. Once that intention is clear, the individual must visualize the desired outcome as vividly as possible. This means seeing it, feeling it, hearing it, and even smelling it, engaging all senses as if it has already manifested. This process creates a strong energetic blueprint for the spell to follow. The more intensely one focuses and invests emotionally in this visualization, the more potent it becomes.

Energy Raising and Direction

Spells require energy to manifest. This energy can be raised in various ways: by drawing from personal vital force through deep breathing or chanting, by tapping into elemental energies (Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Spirit), or by aligning with specific lunar or planetary influences that correspond to the spell's purpose. For example, a waxing moon is ideal for growth, while Venus’s energy suits love. Intense emotions, when aligned with the intention (like fierce desire for a love spell or righteous anger for protection), can significantly amplify this energy. Once raised, this energy must be directed with laser focus towards the visualized outcome, often through chanting, specific gestures, or channeling it through a magical tool.

Correspondences and Sympathetic Magic

Using correspondences significantly enhances a spell's effectiveness. This involves carefully choosing ingredients, colors, days of the week, times, herbs, oils, and other items that sympathize with the intention. For instance, love spells might use red candles, rose petals, or honey, perhaps on a Friday. Money spells could involve green candles, basil, or cinnamon, often on a Thursday. These correspondences act as symbolic shortcuts, amplifying and directing the energy toward the specific goal.

Ritual Structure and Specialized Practices

For those familiar with practices like the Papyri Graecae Magicae (PGM) and Left Hand Path approaches, the structure and specific formulae of a ritual become exceptionally important. PGM emphasizes precise invocations, often using coercive language towards spirits or deities, along with detailed instructions for creating powerful magical effects. Incorporating elements such as words of power, careful preparation of amulets or talismans, specific timing based on astrological or lunar phases, and detailed offerings or symbolic sacrifices can dramatically influence the outcome by aligning the work with established, potent magical currents. The more disciplined and precise one is in executing these elements, the more likely they are to achieve their desired result.

Belief and Will

Ultimately, unwavering belief in one's own power and the spell's ability to manifest, combined with a strong, focused will, are the most critical factors. Doubt acts as a counter-spell, dissipating energy and hindering results. The Left Hand Path, in particular, emphasizes the individual’s will as the primary driving force in magic; conviction directly shapes reality.

Post-Casting Actions

Finally, after casting, it’s often wise to release the outcome and avoid obsessing over it. Constantly checking for results can impede the spell’s manifestation. Trust that the energy has been sent and is working. Sometimes, taking mundane action that aligns with the spell’s intention is also necessary. For example, if a money spell is cast, one might also actively look for new opportunities or manage finances wisely. Magic often works through mundane channels.

Question 8

How will I know if a spell is working?

Accepted Answer

Direct Manifestation: The most straightforward sign is when your desired outcome appears exactly as you envisioned it. If you cast a spell for a specific job offer and you receive that offer, it's a clear indication.

Subtle Shifts & Opportunities: Often, a spell's influence begins with small, subtle shifts in circumstances or new opportunities arising that weren't there before. For example, a money spell might not bring a sudden windfall, but you might notice unexpected discounts, find a forgotten gift card, or have a new income opportunity present itself.

Energetic & Emotional Changes: You might feel internal shifts such as a sudden sense of peace, increased confidence, or a feeling of lightness related to the spell's objective. Conversely, some spells might initially stir up emotions or create temporary chaos as old patterns clear out to make way for the new.

Synchronicities: Look for meaningful coincidences or recurring signs that relate to your spell's intention. Seeing relevant symbols, hearing specific words repeatedly, or having "chance" encounters that push you toward your goal are common indicators. These are the universe's subtle nudges confirming the energy is moving.

Obstacles & Tests: Sometimes, what appears to be an obstacle is actually a test to ensure your commitment or to refine your intention. Overcoming these can be part of the spell's unfolding, clearing the path for the desired result.

Intuition & Dreams: Pay attention to your intuition; you might have a strong inner knowing that the spell is working, even without tangible proof yet. Relevant dreams can also provide symbolic messages about the spell's progress.

Patience is Key: Remember, not all spells manifest instantly. Some require time to unfold, much like a seed needs time to grow into a plant. Continually trying to force or re-cast a spell can sometimes hinder its natural progression.

Question 9

Are there any downsides to using spellwork to improve my life?

Accepted Answer

Yes, while spellwork can be a powerful tool for personal growth and shaping your reality, there are indeed potential downsides or considerations that serious practitioners acknowledge.

Unintended or Unforeseen Consequences

Even with the clearest intention, the universe sometimes delivers results in ways you didn't anticipate. A spell for a new job might land you a position that comes with a much longer commute, or a "love drawing" spell could bring you an unsuited individual you then have to navigate away from. It highlights the importance of highly specific and well-thought-out intentions.

Energetic Drain and Burnout

Casting spells, especially complex ones, requires a significant amount of personal energy. You might experience fatigue, mental fog, or a general sense of being "drained" afterward. Consistent, demanding spellwork without proper energetic replenishment (through grounding, self-care, and rest) can lead to burnout.

Neglecting Mundane Action

One of the biggest pitfalls is falling into the trap of believing that spellwork alone will solve all your problems. Magic is often about opening doors and creating opportunities, but you still have to walk through them. If you cast a spell for financial abundance but don't pursue opportunities, manage your finances, or work, the spell has little to work with in the physical world. It's a partnership between your spiritual effort and your physical actions.

Ethical Dilemmas and Responsibility

When you consciously exert your will to influence reality, you assume a degree of responsibility for the outcome. This brings up significant ethical questions: Are you interfering with someone else's free will? Are your intentions purely for self-gain, or do they consider the broader impact? Spells intended to manipulate or harm others can create negative repercussions, not necessarily as "karma" in a punitive sense, but as a natural return of discordant energy that can affect your own well-being. Understanding and establishing your personal ethical code for your practice, as discussed in Gnōsis AEI's focus on self-sovereignty, is crucial here.

Obsession, Doubt, and Impatience

After casting a spell, some individuals become overly focused on whether it's working, constantly re-casting, or dwelling in doubt. This anxious energy can actually create resistance and hinder the spell's manifestation. Learning to cast, release, and trust the process is vital, but it can be challenging, particularly for beginners.
Considering the potential complexities of magical work, it's wise to approach spellwork with mindfulness, clear intent, and a strong sense of personal responsibility.

Question 10

Can I perform a spell myself if I'm taught by the witch?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely, yes! That's precisely how many people learn to perform spellwork themselves. Being taught by an experienced witch, like those who teach through courses on SCG Witchery, is an excellent way to gain the knowledge, techniques, and confidence to cast your own spells.
When you learn from a seasoned practitioner, you typically gain:
 • Foundational Knowledge: Understanding the principles of energy, intention, correspondences, and ethical considerations.
 • Practical Techniques: Hands-on instruction in setting up altars, preparing tools, crafting intentions, raising and directing energy, and performing rituals.
 • Personal Guidance: A teacher can offer personalized feedback, help you troubleshoot issues, and guide you through your own unique energetic and intuitive development.
 • Safety and Ethics: A good teacher will emphasize the importance of responsible practice, including setting proper boundaries and understanding potential consequences.
Many witches who offer spellcasting services, such as those available on SCG Witchery, also offer courses and mentorship specifically to empower individuals to do their own work. The goal isn't just to cast spells for you, but to teach you how to master the craft yourself, fostering self-sovereignty and direct engagement with your own truth, which aligns perfectly with the principles of Gnōsis AEI.
So, being taught by a witch is a highly effective and recommended path to performing spells yourself. It moves you from relying on others to becoming a capable practitioner in your own right.

Question 11

Why don't witches use their powers to solve global issues?

Accepted Answer

That's a great question and it touches on common misconceptions about witchcraft. Witches don't have a secret "fix-it-all" button for global issues. Modern witchcraft, especially traditions like Gnōsis AEI, focuses on individual empowerment, self-sovereignty, and personal truth. It's about transforming oneself, healing personal traumas, and manifesting one's own desired reality, not dictating the reality of billions of others. Respect for free will is a foundational ethical principle in many magical traditions. Interfering with the free will of others, even with "good" intentions, is often considered unethical and can lead to unintended, negative consequences. Magic works with energy and intention, typically operating best within the practitioner's sphere of influence. Global issues are deeply rooted in human collective consciousness, societal structures, and the choices of billions of individuals. Shifting something of that magnitude would require a collective energetic and conscious shift on a scale that no single witch or group of witches could realistically instigate through direct spellwork. Magic isn't about overriding natural laws or reality; it's about working with them, aligning energies to facilitate change. Many witches contribute to positive change through indirect influence and mundane activism, such as healing spells, protection spells, abundance spells, empowerment, community building, and environmental work. So, it's not that witches don't care about the world or making people happier. Their approach is often focused on individual transformation and indirect influence, recognizing the immense complexity of global issues and the ethical imperative to respect free will. They work to empower themselves and others to become the change, rather than attempting to force a solution from outside.

Question 12

What are the limits of spellwork?

Accepted Answer

Natural Laws and Physics

Spells cannot fundamentally defy the laws of physics. They won't make something appear from nothing, reverse physical decay, or literally bring back the deceased. Instead, magic works by influencing probabilities, aligning existing energies, and opening pathways within the established framework of reality. It's about working with the universe's flow, not against its fundamental structure.

Immutability of the Past

You cannot change past events through spellwork. While magic can aid in healing from past trauma or altering your perception of historical occurrences, the actual events themselves remain fixed. The focus of spellwork is always directed towards shaping the present and future.

Requirement for Mundane Action

Spellwork is rarely a complete substitute for physical effort and engagement. It can create opportunities, shift circumstances, and attract resources, but it typically doesn't eliminate the need for you to take concrete steps in the physical world.1 For example, a spell for a new car might lead you to a great deal, but you'll still need to visit the dealership and complete the purchase. Magic facilitates and amplifies your efforts, but it usually requires a partnership with your actions.

Personal Power and Skill

The effectiveness of a spell is also directly tied to the skill, focus, and energetic capacity of the practitioner. A beginner may not achieve the same results as someone with years of dedicated practice. Continuous learning, honing your focus, and developing your energetic awareness are crucial for expanding your capabilities within spellwork.

Complexity and Scale

While effective for personal goals and specific situations, there are practical limits to influencing extremely complex systems or massive populations. Changing global climate patterns or instantly resolving deeply entrenched societal conflicts are beyond the scope of individual spellwork due to their sheer scale and interconnectedness. Magic operates more effectively within a discernible energetic field.
In essence, spellwork is a tool for influencing and shaping reality by directing energy and intent, but it functions within the existing parameters of the universe and often requires collaboration with your own efforts.

Question 13

Why do those limits exist?

Accepted Answer

The limits of spellwork exist because magic, as understood by many practitioners, isn't an arbitrary force that defies all logic or structure. Instead, it's often viewed as a sophisticated system operating within the universe's inherent rules. Think of it less like a free-for-all superpower and more like a deeper, unseen layer of natural law.
Here's why those limits exist:

The Universe Has Its Own Rules

Just as there are physical laws (like gravity or the conservation of energy), there are energetic and metaphysical principles that govern how reality operates. Spellwork taps into and manipulates these principles, but it doesn't break them. You can't just wish something into existence from pure nothingness, because energy must come from somewhere. The universe maintains a balance, and magic works within that established framework, influencing existing potentials rather than creating entirely new ones out of thin air.

Reality's Inertia

Reality has a certain inertia. It resists radical, instantaneous change that goes against its established patterns. Think of it like trying to turn a massive ship; it takes significant force and time to alter its course. Similarly, major shifts in reality, or outright defiance of its foundational elements (like reversing death), require an immense amount of energy and coordination that is typically beyond the scope of individual or even collective magical workings.

The Nature of Energy

Magic relies on energy—your own energy, elemental energies, cosmic energies.1 There's a finite amount of energy a practitioner can effectively channel and direct. Attempting to perform spells that are too grand in scale or too contradictory to natural patterns would simply exhaust the available energy without achieving the desired impossible result. It's like trying to power a city with a single AA battery.

Focus on Potential, Not Omnipotence

The understanding in many magical traditions is that magic is about shaping potential and probability, not omnipotence. It helps bring favorable circumstances into being or aligns you with desired outcomes. It amplifies your mundane efforts and opens pathways. If spellwork could do anything without limits, there would be no learning, no growth, and no consequence, which would undermine the very process of self-sovereignty and direct truth-seeking that paths like Gnōsis AEI emphasize.
So, these limits aren't about arbitrary restrictions imposed from an outside force; they're inherent to the way magic interacts with the universe, ensuring that even profound energetic influence remains tethered to a coherent and functional reality.

Question 14

How can I be sure your spell work will actually help me feel love and peace again?

Accepted Answer

I understand your desire for assurance when seeking such profound emotional shifts as feeling love and peace again. It's a deeply personal and significant goal, and wanting certainty is entirely natural.
When engaging in spellwork, particularly for internal states like love and peace, the efficacy is rooted in several critical factors that SCG Witchery's services are designed to address:
First, the spellwork provided by SCG Witchery, including services like self-love attraction, is built upon established metaphysical principles and methodologies. The intent is precisely to align energies and remove blockages that prevent you from experiencing these emotions. This involves a precise application of focused will and energetic direction, aiming to create conducive conditions within your energetic field and reality.
Second, the success of such personal transformation spells also heavily relies on the clarity of your own intention and your willingness to engage with the process. Spellwork is not a passive fix; it acts as a catalyst, opening pathways and shifting internal landscapes. For you to genuinely feel love and peace, there often needs to be an internal readiness to receive and cultivate those states. Our methodology, particularly drawing from Gnōsis AEI, emphasizes that true "gnosis"—direct, personal truth—is uncovered through confrontation with trauma and self-exploration. This deep inner work facilitates profound and lasting change, which is vital for sustained feelings of love and peace.
While no ethical practitioner can offer an absolute guarantee of specific emotional outcomes, as individual experiences and readiness vary, the commitment from SCG Witchery is to perform the spellwork with the utmost dedication, precision, and adherence to established magical principles. The aim is to create the energetic conditions that best support your journey toward rediscovering those essential feelings of love and place within yourself.
Our services are conducted by experienced practitioners who prioritize ethical practice and clear intention, focusing on empowering your journey rather than offering superficial fixes. The objective is to assist you in aligning with and attracting the feelings you seek, providing a strong energetic foundation for your personal healing and growth.

Question 15

Why don't you curse the world leaders like Putin or Trump to remove them from power?

Accepted Answer

The Limits of Spellwork: Understanding Energetic Mechanics

Spellwork, powerful as it is, operates within clear boundaries, reflecting the universe's inherent order rather than defying it.

Reality's Domino Effect: Calculated Shifts, Not Complete Overhauls

Magic isn't about conjuring something from nothing or erasing established events. Instead, it's about intervening in the existing flow of energy and circumstances. Think of reality as an intricate sequence of dominoes, each fall leading to the next. Spellwork allows a practitioner to carefully remove, redirect, or alter specific dominoes within that chain. This doesn't abolish the entire setup; it precisely shifts the pattern, leading to a different path or outcome than the original trajectory. It's a calculated adjustment within a complex system, not an act of absolute creation or destruction.

The Ripple Effect: Every Action Generates a Consequence

Every intention, every thought, every magical act, is an energetic displacement. It's like dropping a stone into a still pond: the initial impact sends out ripples that travel outward, creating currents and undertows. These ripples don't just vanish; they continue to move, interact with other energies, and ultimately return to the source, often carrying magnified or transformed energy. This means that while energy can be directed to initiate change, it will always cycle back. This inherent feedback loop defines a limit, ensuring that consequences—foreseen or not—are part of the magical equation.

No Overwriting the Past or Defying Fundamental Laws

Magic cannot undo what has already transpired; the past remains fixed. Nor can it violate fundamental laws of physics, such as spontaneously generating matter or bringing the deceased back to life. Spellwork primarily functions by shaping and influencing existing potentials and probabilities, aligning circumstances toward a desired future. It operates by subtly bending and directing the flow of energy within established universal principles, rather than breaking them entirely.

Action and Skill Remain Essential

Spellwork doesn't typically negate the need for practical effort in the mundane world. It creates opportunities, clears pathways, and attracts resources, but it usually requires the practitioner to take corresponding physical steps. The magic opens doors; it's up to the individual to walk through them. Furthermore, the efficacy of spellwork is directly tied to the skill, focus, and energetic capacity of the person performing it. Just as complex physical tasks require practice, effective magical work relies on developed precision and awareness.

Question 16

Can spellwork make someone desire you?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but it's not about breaking someone's will. It's about manifesting your desired reality through focused intent and energy. You're not overriding their free will; you're attracting what you desire into your world.

Question 17

Can spellwork help me become healthier, lose weight, or feel happier when normal methods fail?

Accepted Answer

Spellwork can boost your energy and focus, supporting a mindset for healthier habits and happiness. It's not a quick fix but a tool to clear blocks and keep you motivated when usual methods fall short.

Question 18

What is Shadow Work?

Accepted Answer

Shadow work is a psychological and spiritual practice that involves exploring and integrating the darker aspects of the self, such as repressed emotions, fears, and traumas. By facing and embracing these shadow aspects, individuals can achieve personal growth, self-awareness, and emotional healing.

Question 19

What are the benefits of Shadow Work?

Accepted Answer

Shadow work can lead to increased self-awareness, emotional healing, personal growth, and a deeper understanding of oneself. By confronting and integrating the shadow aspects, individuals can experience greater authenticity, inner peace, and empowerment in their lives.

Question 20

Who can benefit from Shadow work?

Accepted Answer

Shadow work can benefit anyone seeking personal growth, self-awareness, emotional healing, and empowerment. It is particularly valuable for individuals looking to explore and integrate their hidden or repressed aspects, regardless of their spiritual beliefs or practices.
