It’s this month’s Ask Black Witch, where you ask me questions and I answer them. You can send in questions in a myriad of ways, on site, via Tumblr, tweet, email, comment or send a message on the BW Facebook Fan Page. Remember, good questions appreciated, bad questions are eviscerated!
Hello My question is about spell-casting and being specific about minute details. I have a clear idea of what I want my spell to manifest, but I’m wondering how much detail is just too much. For example I want to manifest a house. I want to it have 3 bedrooms, a large yard, a garage and it has to be blue with Queen Elizabeth rose bushes in the front. Will being so specific help or hinder my spell?

Being specific in spells is a really good thing. However, there is such thing as being too specific because the spell may not work out exactly how you want or take waaaaaaaaaaaay longer than you would want to. It seems you have your dream house in mind, which is good that you know what you want now but it may be too specific for your spell because you may change your mind about, say, the flowers or you want to nix a bedroom It’s good to instead find a middle ground with your specifications by having the goal house in mind but casting a spell for just getting a comfortable and happy home because you could get the house you want but it’s wrapped up in red tape, predatory lending or a relationship gone bad. It’s more than just a house that makes a home. So find a middle ground because your idea of a dream home may change over the years and if it does, your spell (which won’t manifest overnight if that’s what you’re hoping for) can still keep chugging along, unabated. Which is what you want.
Okay, I’m confused. How does repeating song lyrics constitute a spell?
Black Witch, could you please educate me?

The reader is referring to a spell I reblogged on Tumblr (this is probably the closest y’all will get me to actually posting full length spells on here*, ha!) which uses a spell inspired by Yoko Kanno’s song “Call Me, Call Me”.
Music is a pretty useful way to raise energy, which is necessary for every spell you do. If a song resonates strongly with your intentions, then it can be used in a spell. Since the spell was about getting back in touch with people you haven’t heard from in a while and the song was about the same, the song would work well in the spell as a tool to send out intent. Already in music there is rhythm, rhyming (not all spells need to rhyme, in case someone was thinking that), movement and more which can aid in spellworking. Music is magic and can definitely be magickal.
And that concludes Ask Black Witch for this week! Try to spot me at the Baltimore Book Festival this weekend! I’ll be running around pretending I’m social. If you’re into Jfashion (Lolita, Gyaru, Vis Kei, Shinori, Yanki, etc etc etc), there’s going to be an Afr-Am Jfashion walk in DC on Oct 6. Get in touch for details if interested! I’ll be there. And next month is October, which means that the Samhain Pickers Giveaway is around the corner!
*I barely reblog spells on the Tumblr so don’t think you’ll get a stockpile there, either.

My name is Cynthia and my ex-boyfriend dumped me 8 months ago after I caught him of having an affair with someone else and insulting him. I want him back in my life but he refuse to have any contact with me. I was so confuse and don’t know what to do, so I visited the INTERNET for help and I saw a testimony on how a spell caster help them to get their ex back so I contact the spell caster and explain my problems to him….. he cast a spell for me and assure me of 3 days that my ex will return to me and to my greatest surprise the third day my peter came knocking on my door and beg for forgiveness. I am so happy that my love is back again and not only that, we are about to get married. Once again thank you oral spell caster, you are truly talented and gifted contact his email:[derp@thisisbullsht.never – BW]
Looks like this guy is trying to drum up business for themselves. Aside from posting on a random post that isn’t even about love this time, they said they wouldn’t “live” their name, which I took for “leave” because, hey, why expect sharp typing skills? However, they still tried to use a sock puppet name “Cynthia”. This Cynthia idiot (casting spells to get your ex come back to you because you somehow can’t convince them to come back the regular way and you want this sleazeball skank of a ex? Not bright) types out a stereotypical, fairly unrealistic note. It’s written by a guy and how can I tell? “ex-boyfriend dumped me 8 months ago after I caught him of having an affair with someone else and insulting him. I want him back in my life but he refuse to have any contact with me.” Apparently chick caught dude cheating, got rightfully mad at him (but it’s written as “insulting” him, which is not a common perspective of the betrayed, which is supposed to be Cynthia) and then somehow wanting the cheater back in her life but the cheater don’t wanna talk to her? It’s usually the other way around where the cheater begs and pleads to come back and the betrayed tells them to go play in traffic. Either chick is stupid and sooner or later going to write again about how Peter won’t stop slutting about because he’s a total yo-yo knickers or this guy made up an unrealistic couple so to pretend they can do magick and drum up business on my blog Black Witch. Yeah, no.
And somehow this person’s email is the response email that you leave when posting a BW comment and the email that I edited out. Yeah, some magick this is. Advertise elsewhere, ya phony.
