Hello. I have a question about a recent spell I did for my son. He had a so-called friend lie to him about some plans, and now he is trying to pin what he did on my son. The issue is that this kid is seen on camera, and my son is nowhere close by he just drove him. My son also has a disability which leaves him very vulnerable, and he doesn’t understand or process things quickly. My son had to write a police statement. The people whose property was damaged feel bad for my son, and this kid refused to write a statement he went to the police and pled the 5th. The police said that they want to charge everyone with the same crime (a felon), and this will destroy him. Needless to say, for a week before the full moon, I did the truth spell on this kid. I used a tea light candle and sprinkled the herbs inside the candle. On the night of the full moon when you let the candle burn out the candle burned all the way ( first time all the wax ever burned on a tea light for me) the metal dish also burned and is pure black. I had the candle on top of a dish and a ring from tea light burned. My guess is that the truth will come out, and my son will not receive a harsh punishment. I have also done a SATOR square for him that he’s wearing inside a charm bottle, and one is inside his car for additional protection. I’m asking for help and how others are interpreting this. Also, is there anything else I can do to help him? Will him wearing a hag stone help him? This is how the candle burned.
I’m sorry to hear that your son is dealing with these difficult issues. It can’t be easy as a parent to watch this all unfold and not be able to do anything physically to help.
When it comes to interpreting spell results, the best person for the job is going to be yourself. Ask yourself how you feel about the spell. Did anything out of the ordinary happen? Do some divination regarding the outcome of the spell. This can involve pulling tarot cards, asking a pendulum, or using runes, just to name a few examples.
If you feel that the spell was a success, then chances are the spell was a success. Of course there are a variety of variables that go into whether or not a spell will come to fruition, but you have done what you can do. It’s up to the spell and the energy you released to go out into the universe and do the job that you gave it.
I agree with @MeganB about going with your feelings. You know what worked for you, you can feel it. I do have a couple of other things you can do if you need to, though.
The first two come from the Forum’s Site. Hecate’s Justice Devotional Prayer and Seeing Through Deception: Spells To Get The Truth. I’ve never had to use any of them, but I’m sure they’re good.
This last one is from a book that I love! Utterly Wicked: Hexes, Curses, and Other Unsavory Notions by Dorothy Morrison. Her writing is so much fun to read, and this book is wonderful! I’ve looked up spells from this book more than any other that I have. It’s a spell to help get a witness to talk, but I would think it would work in this situation too. Here ya go:
Tongue-Loosening Witness Hex
This is an excellent spell for enticing a reluctant witness to testify for you in court.
Materials:
1 box chocolate-coated laxative
Pen and paper
Plastic zippered bag
Small plastic or glass bowl
Unwrap all of the laxatives, place the pieces in the zippered bag, and set the bag in the bowl. (Do not zip the bag!) Heat the laxative in the microwave for a few seconds at a time until it’s completely melted.
Write the name of the reluctant witness on the paper, and slip it inside the bag. Press the air out of the bag, zip it shut, and squish the contents until the name is completely coated, saying:
Your tongue is loosened, you shall speak The testimony that I seek, Quickly, freely, without qualm Otherwise, your bowels so calm, Shall churn and cramp and lose control— A constant, messy rigmarole— Until diarrhea of the mouth Ends your problems of the south.
Place the bag with any legal documents pertaining to the case.
Morrison, Dorothy. Utterly Wicked: Hexes, Curses, and Other Unsavory Notions (p. 174). Red Wheel Weiser. Kindle Edition.
Anyways, I hope something helps! Your son doesn’t deserve to have this sort of problem!
Greetings @elisabeth1 and welcome!
I am sorry to hear about this and can only imagine how difficult it is for you both. 
Adding a third vote on trusting your intuition on the success of the spell! Intention and belief are powerful components in spellwork.
Sending positive energy your way 
Witchy Wednesday Elisabeth,
I have to agree with everyone else. You will know better than anyone else, how the spell worked.
As all have said, I feel for what both of you are having to endure. It seems too late now, but I recommend a knot spell to bind anymore influence this person may try to exert on your child.
Loving thoughts for you and yours 
Lady Gene 
Greetings from New Mexico!
Welcome @elisabeth1!
Sorry to hear your son got mixed up in this. It looks like the worst he could get is aiding and abetting, for being the driver. Ask your lawyer if you can show proof of your son’s disability so the judge might go more easy on him.
I like truth spells to help with confidence.

Justice spells will also come in handy.

Enjoying the spell @Amethyst shared! Might use that on a case of my own.
@Amethyst Thank you!! I love this! I don’t have a microwave but I can place the bag in hot water.
@leilani1 I would do the knot spell and have my son hold onto it? Or would it best to hang it above the front door of the house? Thank you. 
Thankful Thursday Elisabeth,
Depends on your practice/belief/intent….I usually do my knot spell in private, however; since this is your son, if he is NOT hesitant and BELIEVES in what you are doing, then include him. If not, do not include him during the knot spell, because magick is soooo much about intent. If he does not feel like you do, his frame of mind will counter-act what you are trying to accomplish.
That said, I have only used knot spells since last year, and less than a hand-ful of times. What I do is this.—-take your cord (shoelace, rope, tie around from a robe, whatever). I love rhyme, so in this instance I would say and do something like this.
Make a knot in the middle…saying (of course, change it for your situation/liking)…with this knot of ONE, the harm will be UNDONE….then knot at one end….with this knot of 2, this spell is true….knot other end….with this knot of three, my son will be free!!!
Here is the hard part….STOP THINKING ABOUT IT… I know this is hard, but you have given it to the universe, so LET IT GO. So, you need to sleep on it for 3 days, literally. Put it in your pillow case, between the mattresses (by your head), if that cannot work, maybe a windowsill, if it MUST be kept secret, sleep with it in your clothing. After the finish of the third night, retrieve your cord and undo the knots with thanksgiving. Example, for undoing, with this knot of one, change has begun, (untie knot one as you say this, likewise with each knot)…knot of two, I know it is true, with this knot of three, so mote it be. As simple as that…I have used it 3 times to eliminate toxic people from my life, and I saw results within next day to 3 days. So, this is my go-to, for having to stifle anything in my life.
Hope this helps and works for you….keeping you in my daily oblations.

@leilani1 Thank you!!! The hard part will be to stop thinking about it.
@Amethyst I have one question. The only paperwork I have is a copy of my son’s police statement. Would I put those papers with the melted “chocolate” in a box? Trying to figure out where to place the items? Once this is all done Do I throw away the bag of chocolate or bury it? Thank you.
Elisabeth, yes, the not thinking on it, IS the hardest part. Lady Gene
You’re welcome! You could also use the double boiler method. But that’s so messy. Good luck!
I would just put the ziplock bag in your briefcase or whatever with the paperwork. And I’d just toss it out with the trash, maybe thinking of the person getting your son in trouble being tossed at the same time when it’s all over with.
Amethyst, love throwing out the garbage with INTENT 
Lady Gene
Hey, sometimes it just all has to go!
