Can a spell backfire?

[BryWisteria]

Greetings @Gianluca,

I’m so sorry to hear about the issues with the water- I hope things have resolved asap!

@Gianluca

can a spell backfire?

You’ve got some great answers here! A while ago I wrote a reply to a similar question, so I’ll just paste my response again here:

@BryWisteria

In my experience, spells don’t “backfire” so much as occasionally lead to results different than expected.

A money spell, for example, when cast without clear intentions may bring someone more funds- at the cost of many additional hours of overtime

I wouldn’t worry so much about spells “backfiring” and would instead encourage you to practice honing your intention when casting. Like any skill, it takes practice to build up focus and learn how to direct your energies!

→ How to Define an Intention (as part of the How to Cast Spells Lesson)

Two good spellwork exercises for intentions:

• Monthly Intention Release
• Intentions Spell Jar

Additionally, there is always the chance that what you are experiencing is completely unrelated to the spell- perhaps the spell was sent back no problem to the sender, and you got rid of one case of bad luck (perhaps misfortune in finances, or poor health, etc.) and what is happening now is something new, or, in a strange twist of fate, actually a form of good luck- preventing you from drinking bad water, perhaps?

Just a few thoughts to add in for you to consider!

Blessed be!
