wiccans and magick practicioners , can i do a spell for somebody else?

Question

lets say maria wants a sweetie in her life( not somebody in specific) she just wants love into her life again , can i do a spell for her to make the right person come along if she agrees with it?
is that right? i know that maria has to go out and look for herself , but still a little help is always appreciated

Answer 1

You'll need her permission, and possibly also her participation, but it is possible. She will need to give you a list of all of the things she is wanting/needing in a partner. It is very important to be specific here, but not to name a particular person. Present it as a request to Aphrodite, and give her offerings of roses and sandalwood incense.

Answer 2

The very BEST thing to do would be for you to teach her the spell and maybe provide some of the material things that she'd need. However, for the spell to work the BEST for Maria, then Maria's OWN energy and focus should be what drives the spell, NOT yours, as you have NO idea of ALL the extenuating circumstances, nor do you have any idea if she's TRULY and 100% committed to the workings. Her OWN energies and commitment and hard work is the very best way to go.

Answer 3

There is no one answer to this question because each culture has different opinions about how magic may be employed. Some will tell you that you need her consent -- they are generally Europeans or European Americans and may be Neopagans. Some will tell you you should not accept payment -- they are almost always Neopagans from formerly Calvinist cultural backgrounds. Some will say, "Yes, do it!" -- and they may be African American, Taoist, or Hindu, and simply not feel that magic must be limited -- and they will say that accepting payment is fine, too, as this is a common way of conducting magical transactions in those cultures. So, if it feels right to you and your culture -- do it -- and if not, either stick with your culture or adopt some of the ways of another culture.

Answer 4

In answer to your generic question...I will have to write a generic "yes".

However, it would be prudent to be aware that when and if you perform a Ceremony for the benefit of another...you are probably involving yourself in that other's "karma" (as defined and understood by the sages of Ancient India).

Healing Ceremonies are perhaps the most common that are performed for others than the one performing the Ceremony.

Love spells tend to be the most "tricky"...and are considered by most to be the "greyest" (if you're using a 'monochromatic scale' in guaging your magick).

Insofar as fiduciary exchange for Ceremony performed goes: I am aware that Native American Medicine Men will expect some sort of payment (normally "whatever it's worth to you") for performing a Healing.

I have read contemporary accounts on occasion in the South China Morning Post of Buddhist Monks performing exorcisms in apartments in Hong Kong in which murders took place...and they charged a fee for their services. While I have no statistical data, I would presume this contractual arrangement may be rather wide spread.


EDIT:
It has occurred to this writer that this
post would be in remiss if a certain
level of caution might be in order for
anyone (at least in the United States)
considering entering into a contract
(real or implied) for providing Ceremonial
Services: One must be careful to avoid
running afoul of "The Fraudulent Mediums Act".

Answer 5

I really do no type of working without the person letting me know that they would like me to, even with healing work. I don't ask them, I think it would be rude and wrong on my part. I don't feel you should do a spell like this for Maria, and if you did one, I have serious doubts that it would work like you want it to. That's just me and the way I do things, you'll have to make your own decision.

Answer 6

Didn't you see Practical Magic?

Doing spells for other people generally backfires. Meddling (and that's what it would be, if somebody didn't ask you specifically to do something) messes things up. In the book, the woman who buys the love spell to make the married man fall for her gets a nasty surprise.

It's not in the movie, but in the movie, they do say, "be careful what you wish for."

If somebody wants something, he/she needs to work for it on their own. Geez, watch Charmed already. The only spells that really work are not for personal gain and are NOT the ones people do for other people, in most cases.

Answer 7

If she believes in magic and it is alright with her,then yes you can do a spell for her,provided it is not a dark spell, you have to be careful of those.

Answer 8

If doing spellwork is something you have done with some success many times, and with the persons permission, and if no ill is intended toward anybody or anything, yes.

Answer 9

Messing against free will is not a good thing, it will backfire big time. (Teacher of the wiccan religion)

Answer 10

It's not generally a good idea to do spells on behalf of someone else, even if your intentions are good. Can she not do it herself?
