Bella,
I think that I understand where you are coming from. Christianity if my family’s business. The teachings of their church never felt like “home” for me. But, I didn’t know how to embrace the possibility that anything else could be “home” either.
So, when I seriously started practicing, I needed “proof” that magick was real. I needed to know that my efforts in the craft could affect the world around me. I needed to know that I wasn’t just grasping on to some fiction that I’d seen on TV and read about, just because Christianity didn’t work.
What I have found was that magick works in the way that it is supposed to (in keeping with the general order of things). I mean that just because you expect a specific result to happen in a specific manner, doesn’t that it will happen that way. And, just because the spell didn’t work the way that you expected it to doesn’t mean that it didn’t work.
My first experiment was a very light one. Technically, one might consider it a love spell. But, I used it as a general attraction spell.
After casting, I went to work (because I knew what kind of interactions to expect from my co-workers). I carried a notebook with me. Before going into the office, I wrote down my general interpretations of my co-workers, and what I thought that they thought of me, based on previous interactions. During my shift, I noted any deviation from what I expected (a wink, a smile, an extra-glance).
When I went home that evening, I discovered that I had noted over six pages of subtle deviations. Is that proof that the spell worked? As the deviations were subtle, any conclusion is arguable.
Thus, I performed the spell again. The second time, I was looking for more blatant and extroverted results. And, that is exactly what I got.
While I was out with friends, enjoying an evening of chilly-cheese-fries and karaoke, I was introduced to a couple. The wife and I instantly had a spark that was so strong that there were times that I thought we were going to go at each other right there in-front of her husband. Nothing happened. But, the sexual tension was so obvious that passer-bys thought that we were the married couple.
Of course, there were more than enough chemical, biological, and environmental stimuli to argue that the spell had nothing to do with our attraction to each other. So, ultimately, it all comes down to what you choose to believe. The way I see it, I got what I asked for. Thus the spell worked.
Now, to address your question about the “love” spells.
First, I will give you the same advice I give anyone who comes to me wanting a “love” spell. BE MINDFUL of your intentions. If we can take anything away from “The Craft,” it’s that getting what you ask for does not always equate to getting what you want.
The second thing is that you must remember that everyone responds to things differently. If you decide cast a spell on either you or him so that he will see you in a romantic light, know that he will respond to it in the manner that is natural for him. If he is natural demeanor is introverted, he isn’t likely to suddenly show up with a dozen roses out of the blue. His approach will probably be more subtle. If he is an extrovert, he may come across as too bold. The better you know him, the better you know what to look for, and the better you can gage the effectiveness of your spell.
Lastly, remember yourself. It doesn’t matter what spell you cast. If your vibe says, “I just want to be friends.” He will be less likely to approach you about becoming anything more (even if it is on his mind).
