Ever since I’ve created that “spell bottle” months ago, I’ve been avoiding actually doing any real magic. Rather I’ve just been in study; this is partly due to a story a wise person once told me about a spell back firing after the victim carved into a green candle for good luck.
I’m just wondering when I should start spell casting.
Magickal Monday Fortuitous,
To start with, I would not use the spell bottle from months ago. It has more than likely lost his “aura”, “vibes”, “magick”, “power”…whatever you imbued it with, is probably faded by now.
As for spells, start whenever you feel ready. An easy way to ease into spell-casting, is to make your sacred space, light a candle, or incense, and just sit and think of your intent. Do this for some days, and think about what you wish to cast. When you are ready, go to your sacred space, and just do it! I do not really think spells “backfire”, I believe it is more of the answer of NO to the request made. Hope this helps out.

I’d say do it when it feels like the right time to do so. It can honestly be whenever, magick doesn’t fade away within a certain time frame. Blessings of the Moon upon you.
Yeah I figured considering I was stuffing it with random spices and herbs. But thank you, I’ll be sure to try this.
