Awards and Honors I run a Temple, in addition to my "mundane" life working in a hospital and running my own business.I have had 4 years of formal training in one Tradition, and was Initiated as a Green Witch. I've taught classes in MD, DE and PA. I've been contacted on several occasions to act as a Media liason for ABC television and the Sci-Fi Channel in matters of the Wiccan religion and have been featured locally on AM and FM stations, including multiple appearances on 'The Paranormal Cafe.'
I run Meeting groups locally for Witches and other Magickal people to meet and greet, and am currently working with friends in MD and DE to build stores to better serve our Community.
Question I'm not an experienced practitioner at all, so instead I'm asking an experienced witch do a spell for me. She uses her power to perform the spell, while using my personal information so the spell can trace back to me. I hear this is usual. Is that okay and can the spell still be successful?
Answer Janet,
I advise against this.
You don't know if this person has any experience. You don't know if they will actually preform the spell. You don't know if they'll do it right. You don't know if they have your best interest at heart.
Furthermore, you won't get the experience to get good at spell work if you don't TRY.
If you'd like to get some help I can help you write a spell that might work for what you need.
