#spelltime

LOL! Yes, I live! I have another Zumba class today, but I live!

so the reaffirming stage is a rite in its own. but my rite is adding my own energies and those around me to the spell, the thing is, my spells have trees as roots, something the energies can feed to. that or rocks. I do magic when ever I feel it's needed, I don't have a time of day, or give a circle an amount of time to be open, after a circle is done, or my time for doing magic is finished, I usually just take in whats around me, try to humble myself before magic feeds my ego kind of thing

Yeah, I mean the timeline/deadline makes sense, but it’s not something I’ve really consciously tracked, but I’m going to take note now.

I don’t like thinking about a spell, because I tend to be a pessimist. I like letting it do its thing and putting my nose to the grindstone.

This is the second time today I've read about someone getting a spell to take root. A mentor of mine used to bury things, but it never quite dawned on my as to why.

I was reading "Everyday Magic" by Dorothy Morrison and she has this thing about how if something doesn't happen within 21 days of a spell's casting, she basically calls it a failure and does the spell again or another spell. She then goes on to talk about magic boosters (or correspondences).

I personally don't have a deadline for spells that close. I at least like seeing evidence of the spell within a month, but I've seen spells take years. But for me, most of my magic deals with long term changes.So, my weight loss spell didn't put me on a diet. It's slowly shifting my lifestyle and eating habits, whereas my spell/curse buster for someone else worked as soon as the candle burned out. For me, the time a spell takes is relative to the task at hand. But, I've never really thought about it. I think I'm going to start timing the next few spells, I have coming up here. I am sooooooo bad at spell reaffirmations. Bad as in, typically don't do them at all even though I know I really should. Although, I do take time to think about them and throw energy at the goal, but I don't do the full fledged reaffirmation.

So, timelines and deadlines.

What defines a spell as successful?

Do you have a rule of time in which your magic has to work in order to be successful?

What do you do after that time has passed?

Do you have a rule on reaffirming spells? Do you reaffirm spells at all?

Are you a thinking and energy flinger like me, or do you actually have reaffirmation rituals?

If you have something to say about spells and timing, I'd like to hear it.
