Witchcraft truly is a "be careful what you wish for" practice. 😅
Last night, I cast a "melt all blockages" spell to melt away some communication barriers between me and my boss. I have a pretty good relationship with him, but lately we haven't been checking in with each other as much & he's making a lot of assumptions about what I'm working on/what I (don't) need help with, and it's causing some issues for me.
So, I took 2 ice cubes to represent the blockages in communication, lit a candle near the dish, and asked that the flame help warm the communications between us and melt the blockages quickly. I chanted (abbreviated version), "Melt the blockages to communication. Bring me my desires for clarity and communication right away."
Well, I think my spell worked a little *too* well because I have absolutely no filter today, and neither does my boss.
Example: my boss has a bad habit of interrupting me, & at one point I said, "If you'd let me finish my sentence, you'll know why I'm asking this." I said it jokingly, & he joked back, "Okay, I got it. I'll zip it!"
Example 2: normally my boss is very reassuring when it comes to me asking for help, but this time he said, "I would offer to help with some stuff but I'm just too busy." 😬
The good news is, we're collaborating more on tasks, sending off more emails, and he's delegating more stuff to me now, which is what I wanted. Not everything I wanted to say about our communication struggles lately are out in the open yet, but I think this is a sign they'll come out soon enough.
SO, while I don't like how blunt some conversations between us have been, I'm going to try and think of it this way: because the ice melted so quickly, there's flooding and rough waters, kind of like a dam (the communication obstacles) breaking. The waters will be rough at first, but then it will settle and flow peacefully. Just got to give it another day or so....
.... And if that doesn't work, there's always the good ol' sweetening jar!
I'm thinking maybe next time I will not include a candle so there is more of a "gentle" metaphysical melting that happens, at least if the target is my relationship with another person.
Another thing I considered but ended up not doing is adding a drop of vanilla extract or sprinkling some sugar on the ice cubes to sweeten the results of the barriers melting. Now I wish I would have done it because I feel the vanilla or sugar would have helped to balance out the aggressiveness of the obstacles being removed so quickly.
Anyway, just another example of why you need to be VERY particular with your intentions + spellcasting methods, otherwise you might end up getting more than what you bargained for!
