Why Your Spells Don’t Work

You set your intention. You had all the correct correspondences. You even timed your spell with the appropriate moon phase. And yet – no results. What gives?

Failed spells happen to the best of us, and for a variety of reasons. But a spell gone wrong doesn’t necessarily mean that magic isn’t real or that you’re bad at witchcraft. Magic is complicated, and there are a lot of reasons it might not behave the way you want it to. Here are some of the most common causes of ineffective spells:

1. Lack of real-world follow through

Magic is meant to be used as a tool to supplement your mundane efforts – not as a substitute for them. How can you expect your job hunting spell to bring in results if you aren’t applying for jobs?

Magic does not exist in a vacuum, and it can’t make something out of nothing. If a spell doesn’t bring you the desired result, make sure that your non-magical actions are aligned with what you are trying to manifest.

2. What you’re trying to manifest isn’t a realistic possibility

Wait, what? Isn’t magic supposed to be, well… magic? Shouldn’t you be able to ask for whatever you want and get it? Yes and no.

Magic is simply a way of directing energy. Magic can’t defy the natural laws of the universe. It can’t make something happen unless it was already a potential possibility.

If your intention is unrealistic for where you are right now, try splitting it up into a multi-step process. No spell is going to make you a billionaire overnight, but magic could help you get hired at a better paying job… and then get promoted… and then get offered a profitable side gig… etc. Starting small and working your way up is always going to produce stronger results, because you laid the foundation first.

3. Your intention was either too vague or too specific

Whether you use written petitions or spoken incantations, clearly stating your intention is an important part (maybe THE most important part) of any spell or ritual. A good intention is specific enough to get you the results you want, but open enough to let those results manifest naturally.

Let’s say you do a money spell, and your intention for the spell is simply, “I have more money.” If you find a penny on the ground the next day and pick it up, technically that is more money than you had before. A better alternative would be to use an intention like, “I have enough money to buy ___,” or “I have enough money for everything I need and want.”

Using an intention that is too specific creates the opposite problem. Let’s say you want to manifest a scholarship to a specific school. You do a candle spell with the intention, “I have been chosen for the John Smith Scholarship at Jane Doe University.” But maybe the John Smith scholarship had already been awarded by the time you did your spell. Maybe there’s another scholarship at the same school that would be a better fit for you, or maybe you’re eligible for a grant that would make tuition more affordable. A better intention for your spell would be “I have enough financial aid to easily and affordably attend Jane Doe University.”

Magic always follows the path of least resistance, so you want to make sure that your intention is specific enough to give your magic a clear direction, but open enough to allow it some flexibility.

4. Lack of focus/concentration

We all know the struggle. You’ve been planning this ritual forever, and it’s finally the full moon, but you’ve got a really full schedule today. If you hurry, you can probably squeeze it into the thirty minute window between school and work, right?

If you say a few quick words and burn some incense before you head out the door in the morning, that totally counts as a spell, right?

Not so much. Rushed, lazy, and/or half-assed spells rarely, if ever, work. Spells revolve around the raising and direction of energy, and that requires two things: a clear intention (see above) and intense focus on that intention. If you don’t have the time/energy/mental capacity to focus, it’s best to take a break, have a self care day, and come back to your spell some other time.

5. You’re subconsciously blocking your own results OR you did a spell for someone else who isn’t open to it

I decided to lump these two together, because they’re different variations of the same issue.

Whenever you are doing magic on yourself, it’s important that your mindset is aligned with your intentions. You can do love spells all day long, but if deep down you don’t believe that you’re worthy of love, that belief is going to block your spells from working. This is why mindfulness, psychology, and self care are all such important parts of a successful witchcraft practice. It’s also why I recommend doing the mental work before you sit down to ritual.

If you did a spell on yourself, or are trying to manifest something for yourself, and it just isn’t working, I highly recommend setting some time aside for journaling and meditation and asking yourself 1.) if this is really what you want, and 2.) if you truly believe that you can have it.

The whole mindset thing gets even more tricky when you’re doing magic on behalf of another person, because their energy is also at work in the situation and could be at odds with yours. For example, if you do a spell to help a friend land a job, but that friend believes that they’re totally underqualified and could never get it, they probably won’t get the job even if you did everything “right” in your spell.

This should go without saying, but it is extremely unethical to use magic to mess around in someone else’s head. Even if you think you know what’s best for them, they need to be open to it. If someone is blocking the spells you do on their behalf, all you can do is try to be supportive and find other ways to help them out.

Other (Rare) Reasons for Failed Spells

If a spell goes wrong, it will almost always be for one of the above reasons. But maybe you did everything “right” – you did the mental work first, had a strong, realistic intention, put lots of focus into your spell, and followed through in real life – and you still aren’t seeing results. There are a couple of other things that could be blocking your spells, but they’re very uncommon so I’m not going to talk about them in as much detail. These may be things you want to look into if you really, genuinely can’t think of any other cause.

It’s possible that another witch has done magic that cancels out or blocks yours. This is not common, and it does NOT mean that someone has cursed you. It could be as simple as two witches unknowingly casting spells with opposite intentions, which end up cancelling each other out. (For example, maybe two different people both cast a spell to get the same job. Obviously, they can’t both get that job.) This is why it’s never a bad idea to incorporate a protective element into your spells to block outside interference.

There is a very, very remote possibility that someone has placed a curse on you specifically to block your magic. However – and I cannot stress this enough – this is VERY uncommon. If you were cursed you would know it, or at least know that something was very wrong in your life. If you feel like you have been cursed or hexed, I recommend looking into uncrossing spells, which are specifically designed to undo negative magic.

It’s also possible that a higher power is intervening. This doesn’t necessarily have to be a deity, although it certainly could be. Most witches believe in some form of fate or destiny, and it’s possible that your spell didn’t work because what you asked for is not in alignment with your destiny. In these situations, really the only thing you can do is surrender to the bigger picture.

can you write a stefan salvatore dating headcanon where she is elijah's daughter(adopted)

Dating Stefan and being Elijahs adopted daughter would include

So um... I tried. Hopefully this was good- this was more focused around the Mikaleson I think, Stefan was just like third wheeling like "um... heyy" so yeah...

You and Stefan kept your relationship... secret for a while, considering that you were part of the original family, you didn't want your father and uncles and aunts going after Stefan.

When Klaus made Stefan travel with him and become a ripper, he just so happened to bring you along. Stefan hated that you had to see him like that, but you loved him anyways.

"Y/n I'm a ripper, a ripper doesn't stop!! You should be afraid of me" "I could never be afraid of you Stefan, because I love you"

Stefan loves to cuddle, sometimes you will be the big spoon, sometimes you would let him be the big spoon.

Rebekah secretly ships you both, because she sees how happy he makes you.

Elijah just wants the best for you and makes sure he is treating you right, "Y/n it's come to my attention that you have been upset lately, was it that Salvatore boy?" "No, father it isn't Stefan! Me and Nik got into an argument and I got upset!"

Klaus hates you and Stefan being together, but sucks it up because you love him.

Kol doesn't have much to say about your relationship because he is stuck in a box.

Stefan was there for you when you found out you were adopted, and Elijah and the rest of the breathing Mikaelsons thanked him.

When you and Stefan would kiss and what not, always one of the Mikalesons would rip both of you apart. They still treat you like a child.

"Nope, not going to happen, Stefan please go home, y/n no kissing boys here or anywhere!"

Even though the Mikaleson have a hard exterior they care for their own, because family is important. Always and forever.

"We just want you to be safe y/n, it's not that we don't want you to be happy! We just want you to be okay, and if anyone ever hurts you, we will hunt them down. You are family, even if we aren't related by blood, from what we know, you will always be part of this family. Always and Forever"

a/n: Here ya go reader! I made Stefan and Y/N besties in this, hope you don't mind! Sorry if its terrible! And thank you so much for the love and appreciation <3

Titanic And Cuddles- Silas X Reader (fluff)

Your day was boring, unsurprisingly. It was summer time, and Mysitc Falls didn't have much to offer for summers.

Your friends, the Mystic Falls' Scooby Doo Gang, was also busy with their own work. So you couldn't hang out with them either.

There was one person who would literally do anything to be with you, though. Silas. He was Stefan's, dopplegänger. Everyone in Mystic Falls knew that he liked you. A lot.

You couldn't deny the fact that he was attractive. But yet again, he was Stefan's evil dopplegänger. You never felt attracted to Stefan, you only looked at him as a friend. But there was this thing about Silas that drew you in. But you chose not to act on your feelings because, again, he was the bad guy.

At nightfall, you went to the grill to hang out with your friends. You had a good time there.

"Hey Y/N, what are you doing tomorrow?" Stefan asked you.

"I don't have any plans. Why?"

"I don't know maybe we could hang out together," Stefan said, wanting to get out of his house, because Damon and Elena's couple time was getting too loud to handle.

"Yeah, cool! My place?"

"Great! I'll be at your place tomorrow!" He replied.

"Cool! Good night Stefan!"

"Good night Y/N!" Stefan waved you good bye.

The next day you got ready and cleaned a little, so that Stefan could be comfortable in your house.

Your doorbell rang and you saw Stefan standing there with a smile on his face.

"Hey! Stefan! Come on in!" You said not realising that you just invited Silas in. Silas smirked at the fact that you didn't realise it was him.

"Sure Y/N." He said

"Do you want something to eat? Or drink?" You asked him, being polite.

"No thanks, I'm good." He replied making his way to the couch.

"Hey, I picked out a movie that we could watch, can you just put it in the DVD player?" You asked him

"Yeah. What movie is it?" Silas asked curiously.

"Titanic." You answered

"Seriously Y/N? Titanic?" Silas rolled his eyes and asked you.

"Consider yourself lucky I didn't pick Twilight." You retorted.

"Well, I could work with Titanic then." Silas said.

Silas put on the movie and came to sit next to you.

"Hey can ask you something?" You said looking at Stefan.

"Sure." He answered.

"Why don't you like Titanic?" You asked curiously.

"Well for starters, I find it boring. I mean its a same old love story right? What's new in it?" Silas replied

"Hey! Titanic isn't boring!" You said with widened eyes.

"Sure it isn't" Silas said sarcastically.

As the movie was playing, Silas moved closer to you, wrapping his arm around your shoulder. You noticed this and looked at him confused. He looked back at you and asked "Is it okay if I do this?" You nodded. It was just Stefan right? He could cuddle you.

The movie went on and you put your head on Stefan's shoulder, wanting some comfort. He smiled at your behaviour, but you were too absorbed by the movie to notice this. His hand wrapped your body completely, you being encaged in his arms now.

In the movie, Titanic was finally breaking down. Jack was dying, Rose was crying. Tears rolled down your cheeks and as you whimpered, you wrapped your arms around Stefan's waist and buried your head in his chest, crying and letting your emotions out.

Silas couldn't help but laugh at your behaviour. You heard this and looked up at him with angry eyes.

"What?" he said innocently

"Why are you laughing?" You asked

"Because its funny!" Silas said trying hard not to laugh again.

"Funny? I am crying Stefan!" You shouted.

"Well the fact that you are crying because of Jack and Rose is funny!" Silas said as if it was obvious.

"Jack is dying, Stefan!" You said with teary eyes. You sobbed again, your nose red and your eyes puffy.

Silas' features softened looking at your face. He stopped laughing and took you in his arms. "Well, I am sorry Jack is dying." He said softly against your head. You hummed, too tired to actually respond with words. You were feeling a little bit sleepy after watching the movie.

Soon you fell asleep in Silas' arms, as he leaned back on the couch, watching you sleep peacefully, not wanting to anything that would disturb you. He kissing your head he confessed "Y/N, I love you. A little part of me hopes that someday you will too. I wish, at this moment, you knew I was Silas and not Stefan."

"But even if you don't love me back, I will always love you."
