Love Spells Rule!

So things have been going really well. I've seen Bill three times now, and he's such a nice guy. The second time I saw him was for a drink - our first proper date. It was a shock seeing him dressed in normal clothes, by which I mean not his bus drivers uniform! He looked even hotter than I remembered.

We had a great evening, we were both really relaxed, there weren't any of those awkward silences that can sometimes happen, and which terrify me. I always want to fill them by saying something, and end up saying something stupid.

Maybe it's because I wasn't expecting any of this to happen that has taken off some of the pressure. It didn't feel like "dating", but going to see a guy I already knew (although of course I hardly "know" him).

Anyway, right now I have to say that love spells rule! If this all a week of funny chanting produces, it has been well worth it!

First Results?

Ok so this is weird. Last post I mentioned how i would be looking at the bus driver and everyone else, right? Well yesterday afternoon I got the bus home from doing some shopping, and I was the only person on board. About halfway home, the bus broke down. The driver called the depot and they said they were sending another bus, but it would be about 45 minutes before it arrived (he relayed all this back to me).

I was too far from home to walk the rest of the way with my shopping bags, and not in any great hurry as the kids weren't due home for another couple of hours. So I was ready to just sit there for a bit and listen to some stuff on my ipod. So far so normal.

Then, the driver gets out of his cab, and says to me that there's a cafe 20 feet from where we're stopped, and would I like to join him for a coffee while we wait. I said sure, why not, its more comfortable than the bus.

So we went for coffee together. And we chatted for a good hour (the replacement bus was late). His name is Bill and he is actually really a nice guy. Pretty good looking, and genuinely funny and nice to talk to.

When the replacement bus arrived bringing a mechanic to fix bills bus, and to take me onward on my journey, I was quite reluctant to leave, I was having a good time. And then Bill, as if reading my mind, said he was having a good time chatting with me, and perhaps we could continue the conversation over a drink one evening later in the week. So now I have a date!

Is this the work of the spell? I mean, it's really early days, but heck, this is the first date I've had in a very very long time, and I didn't have to do anything to get it - it all fell into my lap. Wow, it's all quite weird. But good weird!

I shall keep you posted!

The Love Spell Is Complete!

I have finally finished chanting this damned spell! Wow, I sure am glad I only had to do that for one week. It was getting quite tedious doing it every day. I had to motivate myself by thinking a lot about the end result. Which is no bad thing, I mean, a bit of visualisation can't hurt and will probably help right?

Now that I'm done, I feel almost a bit of a let down. You know how when you're really excited about something and then all of a sudden its all over? Its a bit like that. Which is silly really, because it's not over. Really, it's just started. I mean, I've cast the love spell, now I can sit back and wait for some results.

The temptation now is to look for results of the spell in every situation. That's going to be hard to deal with. When I get on the bus I'm going to be checking out the bus driver to see if he's looking at me any differently. When I talk to my kids teachers, I'll be doing the same. I shouldn't, I know. I should just wait and let the spell do its thing, but it's hard!

The instructions say that it will be obvious when the spell starts working. It's not like I have to pick out clues and then follow them up. It really will be a case of something drastic happening. Fingers crossed eh?

Still Chanting

It's getting a bit boring, and there's still some time to go before I'm done with this. I wish there was more to report than that, but really it's just more of the same,

I did have one of the kids burst in on me this morning. I was nearly through the chanting, so I don't think it will have affected the spell negatively. I hope not, because according to the instructions, if I miss a day I have to stop, wait two weeks, then start over. I don't want all this chanting to have been in vain!

No sign of any kind of result yet, but it says nothing will happen during the casting phase, it's afterwards when the spell will start to do its work, so I'm not worried. Just hoping to get some kind of result after all this chanting!

Spell Chanting Update

Right, I've been doing these chants for a few days. So far so good. The getting up early plan is working out nicely. Well I say that, what I mean is, the plan is a good one, but getting up half an hour earlier than normal is a nightmare!

I'm not really a morning person. This morning was a bit easier, maybe my body clock is adjusting. I'm glad I'm doing this in the summertime when at least it's light outside. Trying to get up when it's still dark is just horrible.

Anyway, the chanting bit is surprisingly relaxing. The first morning it nearly sent me straight back to sleep! I'm doing it while sitting cross legged on the floor, which means I can't really nod off.

Each session takes about half an hour. Fortunately I don't have to chant the whole of that time! There is a bit before and a bit after, and I suppose about 10 minutes of chanting. Each chant takes around 30 seconds, so I just repeat myself about 20 times. Sounds boring, but like I said, it's quite relaxing. I feel very refreshed when I'm done.

Of course the idea is not to be refreshed, this is a love spell! But I'm keeping my expectations low, I don't expect to see any results for a while yet.

Ok, that's the update, nothing else to report - over and out!

Found A Spell

So I've found a love spell that I think I will try. It seems quite simple. Actually, it seems almost too simple, I'm not overly confident about something so apparently easy being able to have any effect. But I figured it was better to start off with a simple spell then work my way up to bigger and better stuff than just dive in and go for something really complicated or involved.

The spell involves lighting a candle, and doing some chanting. I mentioned before that my kids live with me. So there is a risk of someone walking in on me! I'm not worried about them breaking the spell, just what they might think if they see me sat cross legged on the floor, in a darkened candle-lit room, chanting! I suppose I can always have said I am practising for American Idol or something!

I have to do this chanty thing every day for a week. I takes half an hour a day. That's quite a lot of work - three and a half hours of my life. Still, this is science, and I want to know if it works, so I'm going to try.

Apparently it's better to do the chants at the same time each day. I think I will go for mornings, because evenings are busy with the children. If I get up early enough in the morning then I shouldn't be disturbed.

I'll be starting this tomorrow, and will update this blog with my progress. I'm excited - it's been a long time since I tried any proper love spells.

Magic Love Spells That Work

I've started looking around for magic love spells that work. Well, I mean spells that I think could work. I have no way of knowing which really work, until I try them,

I'm not sure what kind of spell to cast, or have cast for me, first. I want to try and do this experiment in at least a slightly scientific way, which means eliminating as many external factors as possible.

I'm not in a relationship right now, and I'm not what you might call "actively looking", so I will be doing this in kind of controlled conditions. I want to be reasonably sure that if anything happens in my love life in the immediate future, that it's as a result of a spell and not anything else.

I want this to be a positive experience, so I'm ruling out any kind of black magic, voodoo, or anything that could in theory cause any harm or pain to anyone else.

Anyway, like I say, I'm still in the research stage, and am looking at a few different spells for beginners. Probably the choice will come down to which looks the most promising. The real purpose is to try and answer the question "Do magic spells work?" so really it doesn't matter too much which I choose. At this stage the main choice seems to come down to this: Do I get a spell that makes me meet someone new, or do I use one that makes a particular person fall in love with me? I don't really have my eye on anyone for now, so probably the first of these options.

Right, on with the search. I'll keep you posted!

Introducing Jamie's Magic Love Spells Blog

So I decided to make a blog. I've not tried this before, so bear with me if I don't appear to know what I'm doing. But I'll learn.

What is this blog about? Magic spells. More precisely, magic love spells. They're something that have fascinated me for years, and now they're becoming more popular than ever. So why not write about them huh?

I guess a lot of the popularity around spells and magic has come about because of the Harry Potter films. Harry certainly isn't the first popular on-screen wizard - there have been various incarnations of the Lord of The Rings books and films, and all sorts of other one-offs. But nothing seems to have captured the public imagination in quite the same way as young Mr Potter.

My kids and their friends are always waving their "magic wands" (old chopsticks - shhh, don't tell them!) and chanting "Expelliarmus" and "Wingardium Leviosa". They're not at an age to question whether or not magic is real.

But I (sadly) am. And I question it a lot. Like I say, I've been interested in the subject for as long as I can remember. I have even used a few magic love spells myself, and I think a one or two of them even worked. But there's always that lingering doubt...did that spell really make Jason fall in love with me in high school, or was it just co-incidence?

I have dabbled in other areas of magic, aside from love spells I mean. The odd money spell (won $10 in a local charity lottery, does that mean it worked?) and even, I hate to admit this, a revenge spell on an ex. Fortunately nothing came of that one. At least, nothing I am aware of. Now I think about it, maybe he has some terrible but invisible disease! No, I don't think a magic spell can really do that. Not the one I cast anyway.

So I guess this blog is my continuing skeptical journey of discovery. A journal of magic. Welcome aboard!
