What is a Return To Sender Spell? Essential Information Around Reversal Magic
A return to sender spell, also known as a reversal spell, and sometimes called a magic mirror spell or boomerang spell, is a type of magic ritual designed to send negative energy, curses, or harmful and otherwise undesired intentions back to their source. It aims to reverse bad luck or ill-willed actions, restoring balance by reflecting the harm back to the originator.
Refining Your Spell Casting Ability: Prune to Bloom
In the context of a witch or magic practitioner, the role of being an editor is also an indispensable part of the craft. Spells may require specific techniques for a particular outcome or fruit you’re tending to. Editing can look like ensuring the language of a spell is precise, clear, and aligned with the desired intention. It can also involve removing unnecessary or conflicting elements to create a more focused working. The editing done within shadow work can identify fears and self sabotaging, catching and releasing them. Contrary to “anything goes modern spirituality”, effectual spells are not about just throwing in a bunch of herbs in a jar and hoping for the best. No matter what, effective spells require intentional vision, and an element of release. The witch must be willing to surrender, to allow ideas to come to maturity, to prioritize what matters, and ruthlessly examine what that may be. To edit in spell work is to know to say no more often than saying yes, with gratitude and curiosity. An editor’s mind within witchcraft is having the discernment to know that a hex or a counter spell is less about revenge and more about rebalancing. Editing is Yin work, and Yang evoked with precision and without ego. It means the sorceress is ruthless in compassion, is disciplined and eagle-eyed, and calls in the allies to attract, protect, defend, uncross, hinder, or destroy.
HOW TO PREPARE RITUAL PAPER
When I write intentions to be used in ritual or spellwork, I craft them on paper that has been especially designed to support the work. I hold the belief that the paper itself is the sacred container for these intents, and to honour these intentions, the very words’ environment should be held with respect, beauty, and reverence. While early Taoist (Daoist) sorceresses wrote their sigils (an inscribed symbol that contains meaning and power) on rice paper and through ritual, ingested the papers containing these sigils, I follow certain aspects of this ancient Chinese tradition of my ancestors of long, long ago.
