Question: Can a spell backfire?

Warm greetings @brisan,

Thanks for sharing your question! :blush: You’ve got some wonderful replies here, so just jumping in with my personal thoughts. 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 :sweat_smile:

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:

As others have mentioned, if you are casting Black/Baneful Magick or find that you are still worried about casting safely, Protection Spells are a great way to cover your bases and gain some extra reassurance! :shield:

Congrats on your sugar binding spell- wishing you the best with your casting! Blessed be :sparkles:
