I came into the office one weekend to do a little sage cleansing. I’d hoped to remove some of the negative energy that had been lingering and return a sense of joy to the office. Well, turns out that year we had our highest turnover ever because person after person quit. It wasn’t my intention, but it did ultimately release the negative energy when they took it with them.
One thing I really like about you Hearth is that youre not as sunshine and rainbows as some other witchy youtubers. Youre not afraid to talk performingabout baneful magic, or hexes. The whole kumbiya mentality witches have is getting a little tiring. I like your realistic points of view
Did a spell to heal my dog from a weird mystery illness that the vet couldn't figure out, dog immediately got better, and I immediately broke my wrist in a freak accident and needed surgery. Didn't center or ground.
It really is the best. So much practical info. There are so many beautiful channels, but many of them are actually relatively low-info/basic/vague. I learn SO MUCH listening to Hearth.
I wasn’t specific enough or as protecting as needed in a prosperity spell. We had 2 cars totaled & crashed within 4 days. We received insurance money but that’s not how I intended it
Same! I wanted a new car and I kept putting that energy out and then I got in an accident and totaled my old car. I got a newer car out of it but that's not exactly what I wanted to happen 😂
I cast a spell yesterday on a guy who bullied me at work, got me fired and basically stole my job. The spell was worded along the lines of "starting tomorrow everything should return to him threefold, whether it's something negative or positive" and I asked my deities to help me move on. My intention was for all his actions to have consequences and maybe teach him that being good pays off. Well, guess who woke up this morning with a massive, itchy rash all over their face? Me. Apparently the universe just played a reverse UNO card on me and decided to teach me a lesson too. I can almost hear my deities saying, "You want help moving on? Stop F-ing around with him and JUST MOVE ON!". Dully noted! 😅
Can you please do a vid explaining how to undo or reverse a spell? You mentioned you can if you find you have experienced a backfire. Great vid, thank you!
@@barbararoberts7082 do you know how to protect yourself from backfire. I recently cast a love spell and now I'm afraid it will backfire because as i was doing it I wasnt doing it correctly
I think spell components are important. Take for example: calamus vs licorice for persuasion spells. Calamus is aggressive compared to Licorice which is gentle and subtle.
I believe my Spirit guides are speaking to me before I do spells as take a shower and to make sure I clean my house and ground myself. Now I understand why and thank you for the information
I made the mistake of attempting a money attracting spell, without cleansing the pennies I used in the spell, right before a job interview. I got the job but I ended up with a super mean boss, a customer screaming violent threats at me while in training still, and eventually getting fired for having to call out sick. To this day I can't even comprehend why in the heck I decided using uncleansed pennies was a good idea (I mean the amount of negative energy those things carry has got to be ridiculousss) Lesson learned, I will never do a magical working without cleansing all my materials first again. :0
I'm so glad I found your channel. For me, it's hard to find people who seem genuine with their craft. I get the vibe that some youtubers are only in it for the aesthetic. You, on the other hand, are extremely knowledgeable.
I had a backfire years ago. I didn’t know what I was doing and I was naïve to what could happen. I did a money spell. I admit I was desperate & willing to try anything to help my situation! I got back ten fold several money & legal troubles & ended up homeless! I needed a protection spell( hindsight)! I am not trying to be scary or dramatic but I agree 100% with your advice to beginners! It has been about 7 years since.... I have learned so much and I have had many positive experiences!! I don’t usually share but I felt compelled too! I really appreciate & enjoy your content and I am happy I came across your channel!
I think a good tip would also be to consult your ancestors, spirits guides, angels, deities, etc. Before casting a spell to see what they think of it. Getting their support or a go signal for your spell definitely helps out a lot with both effectiveness and self protection 👍
I‘ve also found it very useful to do a divination before doing a spell if the energy I am sending out will be welcome or not. It still is no guarantee a backfire won’t happen at all but the divination could potentially tell how to change the target or intention of the energy to manifest the desired results. I wouldn’t want to describe the worst backfire I ever had in a TH-cam comment, just a warning: it took an enormous amount of willpower and an extremely painful emotional sacrifice to release this energy and turn everyone’s lives back to normal again. Be careful what you wish for. It was really messy and put several lives into a miserable condition, including mine.
I'm still a bit of a baby witch and Now looking back at one of my Spells I did not too long ago things are starting to make a lot more sense. This video is a lifesaver, thank you.
One backfire I witnessed on a magic-related message board was someone whose workings hoping to attract a given love interest resulted in the practitioner's ever-deepening obsession over the target, to the extent of negative consequences in their own life, while their target remained (at least seemingly) unaffected.
I won’t ever forget my first time trying to do an energy and inspiration sigil activation. I was dead asleep within 10 mins, kept me away from sigils for some time 😅

Just wanted to say I just found your channel this week and I am really enjoying your video's. I also wanted to say thank for how you incorporate different beliefs. While I am not a pagan I am open and really enjoy learning. I am 64 and my background is Christian, while I do not believe in the way I was brought up I still believe in things like candles for prayer, medals for protection, blessed salt and water I also enjoy how you have explained things like Imbolc and Candlemass etc. I am not dissing other sites I have just found a few channels that refuse to take or talk about any Christian stuff. So again thank you so much for your content I am truly am enjoying it so much.
You have such a lovely energy about you💜💖. I sometimes feel like I need a wash after watching some TH-cam witches because they leave me feeling so negative and exhausted 😥. Your videos give me positivity and peaceful energy in a homely warm kind of way. Like a cup of tea in a kitchen with a fire glowing in a fireplace. Thank you xcx
Yup! But it was to my advantage. I thought I was taking the higher grounds with a bully mum who was treating me and my 5 year old daughter like dirt excluding us in group dates. I thought I’d give a honey jar a go as I felt like I was being the bigger person hoping to reach her better side. Anyways it went HORRIBLY wrong and she wrote a really nasty group inbox to me so everyone could see it. The next day I heard she went INSANE at the kindy teachers who took my side when I heard she was getting her kids to spread nasty rumours about me and my husband so no one would play with our daughter and the teachers told her they had had enough of her bullying. She moved schools and noones heard of her since! 😂 Job well done I say
Hearth is my favorite witch educator on TH-cam. She always gives such clear details and in-depth information. The commercials were excessive today, though.
The best protection against backfires while doing any magic on people is to HAVE THEIR PERMISSION. The act of giving permission opens a door for the magic coming through their personal protection. When you do magic on person without permission, it's a rude unwanted manipulation as well as doing a black magic on someone and thus you earn the backfire. This is perfectly fair play and an important life lesson.
Yeahhh... Also good idea for anyone reading this - don't go do the thing you're doing a spell to stop yourself from doing. Did a spell to help ease up my sugar addiction, ate some cookies when I had already hit my calorie limit for the day and was puking for three days...
Idk if my experience was a “backfire” from the spell specifically, but when I did a spell at the very beginning of my journey without any protection, all the painting on my stairs started to fall down. They made loud bangs as every few minutes each one fell off the wall and toppled down the stairs. My Christian sister was convinced we were all about to die, and my atheist mom had an expression I can only describe as awakening. Long story short, I brought in some cleansing plants and smoke cleansed the whole house
My first spell backfired. I didn't use a circle. I asked for something to happen and things aligned wrongly and came back at me negatively. I now know how to prevent it and how to use spell work safely so thanks. 😊
My first spell ever had a huge backfire. My friend and I tried a very simple protection spell around a place in the woods where we used to gather. At the time we didn't realize that there were other different energies at work in that place, and basically, the place ended up being destroyed. We didn't get to understand what had happened until many years (and a lot of study) later. It's a shame most books for beginners don't tell anything about those possibilities.
Living on Jupiter sounds like a bad idea. :-P Especially since it's gaseous and doesn't have a hard surface, lol. :-P Great video, loved the thumbnail art.
I've just cast a binding spell on a group of 4 individuals and the strife that they have caused those around them. No backfiring that I am aware of, but thank you for this video to make (myself and) others aware of the dangers.
~9:20 There might be a workaround mind... Someone could do such a spell and end up being e.g. a trophy wife or a cleaner in said Beverly Hills mansion. Or travel to Japan on a scholarship and end up in a "mansion" (big apartment) called "Beverly Hills". Not what they wanted... but it's what they asked for!
I experienced a pretty gnarly backfire when I was a newbie back in the 90's. I conjured a demon to help me and instead it turned on me. I didnt know how to control it so it oppressed and occasionally possessed me for years. During a "dark night of the soul" I called out for spiritual help. My room filled with cleansing white light and an angel or ascended master (I'm still not sure which) came through and healed me. I havent had a demonic-related problem since.
Could you do a video on ways of cleansing your craft space? I really would like to eventually cast spells, but I'm afraid of negative energies/spirits (I've had a lot of small encounters with good ones - or so I think- since I was young. So I'm assuming they must like me and my youngest sister for some reason). But I don't want unwelcome guests or energies potentially inviting them lol.
Play a sound bowl video off your TV and blast it, use incense or herb bundles and get that smoke all around your space, if these aren't a option then you can use a spray with charged water, whether it'd be Sun or Moon water, get every corner once and the center once on each wall, use it to scrub your tables, stands and such. Bells can work too, even clapping, lastly you could just visualize the unwanted energy leaving and your space being filled with whatever color you see neutral energy being.
@@nathanielmathiasmajor2691 Thank you! It's very frustrating when experienced practitioners are trying to teach beginners but they say things like "spiritually cleanse your space", but don't explain what that means. Same with "effectively release the energy". I don't even know what terms to search to try to look it up online.
Yes, I've experienced many a backfire! When said backfires happen, it is usually pretty bad! I do my best to figure out why?? One thing is for sure, backfires are no joke, at least for me. I see them as Witchy growing pains.
I really like how you explain this whole thing without rambling. I did a love spell without informing myself I wished I had watched this before. Hope its not to late to protect myself. Thank you so much for the information!
I have this jar, that I call the jar of death. I was very VERY new to spell work and still am. I was trying to make a protect mist. A mist that I could spray on myself and veil to help protect me from negative energy. I used many herd and other things, I also put A LOT of energy, (foreshadowing). Then after I started getting weird signs from my spirit guides. I got the feeling something was terribly wrong this that mist. So, I took a step back and realized I had unintentionally put really horrible and negative energy. The whole time making I just kept thinking about all the bad people in my life and how I wanted protect from them, but then it turned into hated. I realized I had put all my hate and frustration and sadness into it. So, I just have a random jar with a terrible terrible potion/spell ( again I'm new, I'm not sure what to call it). I just have it hidden away. I don't know how to "fix" it.
Yes I did have a spell backfire it was a spell that was for my man's my a spell for making a person's love get stronger. what had happened was I don't have all the material for it and I compromised and it had flipped and broke us up but I am in a better relationship now and are love is a hol lot stronger than the last relationship.
My experience with backfires is that the spell works surprisingly well, but it drains me significantly and I end up in bed sick for a few days. This has only been with big spells that have had explosive results for lack of a better word, but being sick still sucks and I'd like to avoid this if possible. Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?
This sounds scary. How to do release energy properly. I did it seemed like the person had better time then me and it wasn’t a curse but a separation spell. I got through.
I recommend meditating and getting in a really focused head space, feeling and envisioning the energy and intent within you transferring into the spell. Maybe taking a ritual bath after to cleanse.
Great video and again at the perfect time to make something clear to me. I had an important job interview two weeks ago, I really wanted the job, so I made a mojo for a good and successful interview that I carried with me during the job interview. It was the worst interview I've ever had. Of course, the job didn't work. Since then I've been thinking back and forth about what went wrong. And when you said it, put it to me right away, I haven't cleaned some of the objects before. Now it makes sense.
I appreciate your sharing of your thoughts and time with me and I thank you very much. Every problem I have or ever had is 97% all my fault and I don't blame anyone but myself for. Not even the devel.
I've also had a spell back fire. It was a love spell for someone I really like. We've been friends for awhile, but super shy about the whole commitment thing. I wanted to manifest a relationship, but apparently the energy went to the wrong person. Sometime after my brother brought over one of his friends and the guy became completely infatuated with me which really grossed me out.
I have been trying to discover for years why a spell l cast rebounded within minutes: l tried to banish a situation but the opposite of my intention manifested….Even as I was casting l could feel the backfire… So thanks… I have actually learned something incredibly useful 💥
I'm don't know if this counts as a backfire? I recently did a healing work when my daughter was ill. That night she had continual night terrors, was screaming and seeing things, her fever spiked dangerously, and it was like she went through three days of illness in one awful night. She was completely well the next morning - but I learned to be much more specific when asking for "quick healing." I haven't done a healing work since, it really scared me!
It was the healing crisis. It happens always, this is the first phase of all kind of healing. Continue your practice, don't be scared. The result was absolutely amazing (short hours till total recovery is excellent).
Well done! It's always refreshing to hear what you have to teach. Very thorough and you have a great deal of experience and knowledge. There needs to be more info like this available especially for newby witches. I wish I would have had this sort of info when I started out. An example of a backfire for me is when I did a spell for friend that wasn't meant to be negative but she had anger and malice toward the person it involved and so it backfired on both of us! Looking back I realize I did not take enough time to really think clearly and precisely what was the best course of action. Planning, contemplation, and releasing all negativity is so important. It nearly ended our friendship but we got through it and learned a hard lesson!
Interesting. I don’t know if it is backfired spell but I sent a petition for a certain legal situation to be resolved with justice and the debt to be repaid fully. A couple of days later my solicitor quit on me. I immediately felt it was a good thing, it was frustrating but it made me feel that if I am to win in this case, it is with a different solicitor. So I see it as unexpected readjustment for the ultimate goal.
This world is crazy they explain exactly how to do a taglock on someone with really affective way but not one true active video on how to break them dear lord🙏🏾
I think I have experienced a spell backfire in kind of a similar way. What I find happens is if I cast a spell for an ideal job, it keeps me from getting other jobs that are less ideal. So it's left me partially employed for a while, while I wait for the perfect job to come along. I should have specified it come quickly and not to hinder necessary money-making.
Thank you for this video .. Very informative... A couple of days, I am thinking that my spell has back fired. I did a spell to attract abundance and opportunities but now I'm losing it as I am now injured and cannot grab opportunities thereby loosing the money I have saved. Yes, some spells do manifest in a short time... It's kinda overwhelming. It took a lot of months before the backfire has happened. Though I'm not quite sure if this is really the manifestation of backfired spell. But I feel it is...
I once had a friend ask me to cast a hex on her former partner. As I was halfway through she changed her mind and wanted me to nullify it. Unfortunately the hex rebounded on my and bounced between us for several months until our own friendship dissolved. That's one of the hardest lessons I've learned in witchcraft, and I'm making it a personal policy to never hex on someone else's behalf.
I’ve had this exact experience when trying to help someone with learning about hexes and curses. Especially with karmaic workings against people who’ve done you wrong. The angels, demons, protections, etc. surrounding individuals is extremely powerful.
There is a plethora of reasons why a spell can backfire but most revolve around two main reasons: who is more powerful & how much do you actually believe the spell will work.
To stop 🛑 backfires completely ... you need to “mask” the work ... How ? I hear you ask ... there are certain herbs that “psychically” cover the tracks of the work ... Other “deflecting” materials can be used around the work you are sending ... so you set the intention ... “if this energy looses its way “ offer a second grounding instruction. ... coffee is a great Herb for this
I call myself doing an prayer candle for a coworker for protection at work with their permission. I called wrote petition for their Angles Benevolent Ancestors Spirit guides to protect and help them. They ended up getting fired anyway 🤔(wtf) and their teammates like whoa. Then all their Ancestors family and whoever stayed at my home for almost 3 weeks 😑 talking loudly 24/7 with my Ancestors! It was like I had a fam reunion party! It was not scary 😶 just I had to sleep for work! Id turn on my loud fan to help drown the noise... they got louder 😳🤣 At the 3rd week they finally left. I felt like I was on crack and couldn't come down by then 😂. My candle burned clean and my flam was angle wings shaped. I thought that would be an easy thing to do 😆!! Later I was having a reading done and they said I had a fam reunion 😑 🤣. Why they didnt go to my coworker house 🥴
How should you release after the spell? Do you have a mantra or some type of way to go about this? I know you should enter your workings with intention and such but I assume release is reaping it into the universe and not obsessing over it ?
Good to know. Im considering doing deity work and perhaps involving that in a working to get a good paying job. I am terrified to do so at risk of it backfiring because anything having to affect the free will or natural course of things is always a huge risk and scoring an interview falls under that umbrella
it definately happened to me, all of it. Gonna try to cover all the bases, since I lost money, and the boy i liked after trying to attract them. I'm super sad now, i mean it could have all been a coincidence, but I feel like maybe I didnt cleanse my stuff strongly enough. I donno really, but I will employ everything in this video in the future.
Cleansing is absolutely mandatory. I learned this the hard way. Also working hexes against my horrible neighbor doesn't work... But her car is another matter! I always know when it's Six thirty in the morning because her piece of crap car squeals and screeches all the way down her driveway and all the way down the street as she heads to her job at the Waffle House. HA!
Without too many details I did a return to sender spell on someone I thought put a spell on me. Well it backfired on me. This happened years ago as a baby witch and since then I only use spell work on myself or on situations. Because my spell came back to me, I completely cancelled it by cleansing myself until things were restored.
so i did my research all day and decided to try a protection spell. i don’t think i used anything bad but i’m really paranoid i did something wrong so if anyone’s reading this can you give me advice lol
I'm a baby witch but with my experience if you have negative feelings or thoughts about the spell then it might not work. I made a honey jar for someone and it worked, idk why I felt like I needed to do another one and it has backfired. The day after making it I was STRESSING about it not working, and guess what. 😒
I recently had a spell that almost worked, but right at the end of the work I had introduced doubt and hesitancy into the spell, and that translated into me becoming hesitant just as I was sure that the spell had worked, and suddenly everything backfired. It was a hard lesson I had to learn, especially since I normally welcome negative spirits into my space for things like shadow work. But you can't do shadow work while performing a spell not related to it, so sometimes you do have to set aside those negative feelings and spirits.
Yes, I've noticed a Negative Backfire when I cast a Spell just on money in a small bowl of seven one dollar bills that have seven's on them and with Bay Leafs and with Crystals and the bowl and Crystals and Bay leafs and money was all cleansed and a while later it was like a Backfire of Negative in the house, I think it was from others bringing Negative in the house that Backfired that reversed the Spell,...

The next day I heard she went INSANE at the kindy teachers who took my side when I heard she was getting her kids to spread nasty rumours about me and my husband so no one would play with our daughter and the teachers told her they had had enough of her bullying.
She moved schools and noones heard of her since! 😂
Job well done I say
Hearth is my favorite witch educator on TH-cam. She always gives such clear details and in-depth information.
The commercials were excessive today, though.
The best protection against backfires while doing any magic on people is to HAVE THEIR PERMISSION. The act of giving permission opens a door for the magic coming through their personal protection. When you do magic on person without permission, it's a rude unwanted manipulation as well as doing a black magic on someone and thus you earn the backfire. This is perfectly fair play and an important life lesson.
Yeahhh... Also good idea for anyone reading this - don't go do the thing you're doing a spell to stop yourself from doing. Did a spell to help ease up my sugar addiction, ate some cookies when I had already hit my calorie limit for the day and was puking for three days...
Idk if my experience was a “backfire” from the spell specifically, but when I did a spell at the very beginning of my journey without any protection, all the painting on my stairs started to fall down. They made loud bangs as every few minutes each one fell off the wall and toppled down the stairs. My Christian sister was convinced we were all about to die, and my atheist mom had an expression I can only describe as awakening. Long story short, I brought in some cleansing plants and smoke cleansed the whole house
Dang that sounds like the beginnings of a horror movie! I'd probably nope outta there and burn down the house for good measure!
My first spell backfired. I didn't use a circle. I asked for something to happen and things aligned wrongly and came back at me negatively. I now know how to prevent it and how to use spell work safely so thanks. 😊
Can you tell how to do?
My first spell ever had a huge backfire. My friend and I tried a very simple protection spell around a place in the woods where we used to gather. At the time we didn't realize that there were other different energies at work in that place, and basically, the place ended up being destroyed. We didn't get to understand what had happened until many years (and a lot of study) later. It's a shame most books for beginners don't tell anything about those possibilities.
Living on Jupiter sounds like a bad idea. :-P Especially since it's gaseous and doesn't have a hard surface, lol. :-P
Great video, loved the thumbnail art.
I've just cast a binding spell on a group of 4 individuals and the strife that they have caused those around them. No backfiring that I am aware of, but thank you for this video to make (myself and) others aware of the dangers.
~9:20 There might be a workaround mind... Someone could do such a spell and end up being e.g. a trophy wife or a cleaner in said Beverly Hills mansion. Or travel to Japan on a scholarship and end up in a "mansion" (big apartment) called "Beverly Hills". Not what they wanted... but it's what they asked for!
Love the purple in your hair
Thank you for the profound take on it! It s certainly something people don't speak often about.
Thank you, for covering these much neglected aspects of the craft. Everyone seems to regurgitate the basics 😵💫.
I experienced a pretty gnarly backfire when I was a newbie back in the 90's. I conjured a demon to help me and instead it turned on me. I didnt know how to control it so it oppressed and occasionally possessed me for years. During a "dark night of the soul" I called out for spiritual help. My room filled with cleansing white light and an angel or ascended master (I'm still not sure which) came through and healed me. I havent had a demonic-related problem since.
Probably shouldn't conjure demons then. Try petitioning Angels instead. Blessed be.
@@janetdaily8995 You're not wrong and thats exactly what I do now (The TAW in my name is short for The Angelic Witch 😉) Lesson learned 😇
So glad to know that. Be well and happy sister.
such an important topic, thank you for taking the time to explain it with so much detail
Could you do a video on ways of cleansing your craft space?
I really would like to eventually cast spells, but I'm afraid of negative energies/spirits (I've had a lot of small encounters with good ones - or so I think- since I was young. So I'm assuming they must like me and my youngest sister for some reason). But I don't want unwelcome guests or energies potentially inviting them lol.
Play a sound bowl video off your TV and blast it, use incense or herb bundles and get that smoke all around your space, if these aren't a option then you can use a spray with charged water, whether it'd be Sun or Moon water, get every corner once and the center once on each wall, use it to scrub your tables, stands and such. Bells can work too, even clapping, lastly you could just visualize the unwanted energy leaving and your space being filled with whatever color you see neutral energy being.
@@nathanielmathiasmajor2691 Thank you! It's very frustrating when experienced practitioners are trying to teach beginners but they say things like "spiritually cleanse your space", but don't explain what that means. Same with "effectively release the energy". I don't even know what terms to search to try to look it up online.

Thank you so much for sharing this. This is a very important topic that not always is mentioned so I appreciate it! As usually you are amazing!
Yes, I've experienced many a backfire!
When said backfires happen, it is usually pretty bad!
I do my best to figure out why??
One thing is for sure, backfires are no joke, at least for me.
I see them as Witchy growing pains.
You make this so clear and easy to understand Hearth xx
I really like how you explain this whole thing without rambling. I did a love spell without informing myself I wished I had watched this before. Hope its not to late to protect myself. Thank you so much for the information!
I have this jar, that I call the jar of death. I was very VERY new to spell work and still am. I was trying to make a protect mist. A mist that I could spray on myself and veil to help protect me from negative energy. I used many herd and other things, I also put A LOT of energy, (foreshadowing). Then after I started getting weird signs from my spirit guides. I got the feeling something was terribly wrong this that mist. So, I took a step back and realized I had unintentionally put really horrible and negative energy. The whole time making I just kept thinking about all the bad people in my life and how I wanted protect from them, but then it turned into hated. I realized I had put all my hate and frustration and sadness into it. So, I just have a random jar with a terrible terrible potion/spell ( again I'm new, I'm not sure what to call it). I just have it hidden away. I don't know how to "fix" it.
Yes I did have a spell backfire it was a spell that was for my man's my a spell for making a person's love get stronger. what had happened was I don't have all the material for it and I compromised and it had flipped and broke us up but I am in a better relationship now and are love is a hol lot stronger than the last relationship.
Mayruth Collins Sounds tome like it worked to me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
My experience with backfires is that the spell works surprisingly well, but it drains me significantly and I end up in bed sick for a few days. This has only been with big spells that have had explosive results for lack of a better word, but being sick still sucks and I'd like to avoid this if possible.
Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?
Great info. Could u show us how to do a communication spell?
Thank you. This was very helpful and important information🖤
This sounds scary. How to do release energy properly. I did it seemed like the person had better time then me and it wasn’t a curse but a separation spell. I got through.
I recommend meditating and getting in a really focused head space, feeling and envisioning the energy and intent within you transferring into the spell. Maybe taking a ritual bath after to cleanse.
Great video and again at the perfect time to make something clear to me.
I had an important job interview two weeks ago, I really wanted the job, so I made a mojo for a good and successful interview that I carried with me during the job interview. It was the worst interview I've ever had. Of course, the job didn't work. Since then I've been thinking back and forth about what went wrong. And when you said it, put it to me right away, I haven't cleaned some of the objects before. Now it makes sense.
I appreciate your sharing of your thoughts and time with me and I thank you very much. Every problem I have or ever had is 97% all my fault and I don't blame anyone but myself for. Not even the devel.
My very first spell back fired and its still playing out..i wont go into all details..but ive learned what happened and why..
This was very helpful! Thank you 💜 I've never cast a circle before but this made me want to
I've also had a spell back fire. It was a love spell for someone I really like. We've been friends for awhile, but super shy about the whole commitment thing. I wanted to manifest a relationship, but apparently the energy went to the wrong person. Sometime after my brother brought over one of his friends and the guy became completely infatuated with me which really grossed me out.
I have been trying to discover for years why a spell l cast rebounded within minutes: l tried to banish a situation but the opposite of my intention manifested….Even as I was casting l could feel the backfire… So thanks… I have actually learned something incredibly useful 💥
Thank you for explaining about spell backfires.
you're my favorite witchtuber! thank you for all the effort you put into your videos & for sharing your knowledge :)
I'm don't know if this counts as a backfire? I recently did a healing work when my daughter was ill. That night she had continual night terrors, was screaming and seeing things, her fever spiked dangerously, and it was like she went through three days of illness in one awful night. She was completely well the next morning - but I learned to be much more specific when asking for "quick healing." I haven't done a healing work since, it really scared me!
It was the healing crisis. It happens always, this is the first phase of all kind of healing. Continue your practice, don't be scared. The result was absolutely amazing (short hours till total recovery is excellent).
thank you Hearth🌹.
Well done! It's always refreshing to hear what you have to teach. Very thorough and you have a great deal of experience and knowledge. There needs to be more info like this available especially for newby witches. I wish I would have had this sort of info when I started out. An example of a backfire for me is when I did a spell for friend that wasn't meant to be negative but she had anger and malice toward the person it involved and so it backfired on both of us! Looking back I realize I did not take enough time to really think clearly and precisely what was the best course of action. Planning, contemplation, and releasing all negativity is so important. It nearly ended our friendship but we got through it and learned a hard lesson!
Applause. Thanks so very much. As a beginner, i find this hugely important. Will dance on your birthday😀
Interesting. I don’t know if it is backfired spell but I sent a petition for a certain legal situation to be resolved with justice and the debt to be repaid fully. A couple of days later my solicitor quit on me. I immediately felt it was a good thing, it was frustrating but it made me feel that if I am to win in this case, it is with a different solicitor. So I see it as unexpected readjustment for the ultimate goal.
This world is crazy they explain exactly how to do a taglock on someone with really affective way but not one true active video on how to break them dear lord🙏🏾
Thanks for your reply. I know it was the food now for sure.
could u please do vids on how to powerfully protect ourselves, I did not find anything on this subject nowhere, thank u
This is, by far, my favorite video by you so far!
I think I have experienced a spell backfire in kind of a similar way. What I find happens is if I cast a spell for an ideal job, it keeps me from getting other jobs that are less ideal. So it's left me partially employed for a while, while I wait for the perfect job to come along. I should have specified it come quickly and not to hinder necessary money-making.
Thanks for the info. Gave me a better understanding and ideas of how to help my workings get better results.
Can you do a cleansing video? I know you have one for house cleansing too.
Thank you for this video .. Very informative... A couple of days, I am thinking that my spell has back fired. I did a spell to attract abundance and opportunities but now I'm losing it as I am now injured and cannot grab opportunities thereby loosing the money I have saved. Yes, some spells do manifest in a short time... It's kinda overwhelming. It took a lot of months before the backfire has happened. Though I'm not quite sure if this is really the manifestation of backfired spell. But I feel it is...
Thank you so much for these videos! Very informative:) appreciate it! 🤍
I did a money spell a week ago. I got scared that it will backfire fortunately it worked. 🧿🤍🖤
I once had a friend ask me to cast a hex on her former partner. As I was halfway through she changed her mind and wanted me to nullify it. Unfortunately the hex rebounded on my and bounced between us for several months until our own friendship dissolved. That's one of the hardest lessons I've learned in witchcraft, and I'm making it a personal policy to never hex on someone else's behalf.
I love your top! Where is it from?
(Will now watch video 😁)
I’ve had this exact experience when trying to help someone with learning about hexes and curses. Especially with karmaic workings against people who’ve done you wrong. The angels, demons, protections, etc. surrounding individuals is extremely powerful.
There is a plethora of reasons why a spell can backfire but most revolve around two main reasons: who is more powerful & how much do you actually believe the spell will work.
Hearth Witch, many blessings and greetings to you.
To stop 🛑 backfires completely ...
you need to “mask” the work ...
How ? I hear you ask ... there are certain herbs that “psychically” cover the tracks of the work ...
Other “deflecting” materials can be used around the work you are sending ... so you set the intention ... “if this energy looses its way “ offer a second grounding instruction. ... coffee is a great
Herb for this
This is something I definitely am wanting to learn more about...how to "mask" spellworkings.
I call myself doing an prayer candle for a coworker for protection at work with their permission. I called wrote petition for their Angles Benevolent Ancestors Spirit guides to protect and help them. They ended up getting fired anyway 🤔(wtf) and their teammates like whoa. Then all their Ancestors family and whoever stayed at my home for almost 3 weeks 😑 talking loudly 24/7 with my Ancestors! It was like I had a fam reunion party! It was not scary 😶 just I had to sleep for work! Id turn on my loud fan to help drown the noise...
they got louder 😳🤣 At the 3rd week they finally left. I felt like I was on crack and couldn't come down by then 😂. My candle burned clean and my flam was angle wings shaped. I thought that would be an easy thing to do 😆!! Later I was having a reading done and they said I had a fam reunion 😑 🤣. Why they didnt go to my coworker house 🥴
Is there a video of yours with more detail on the cleansing subject and how to do it properly?
Is it safe to do spells on myself?
How should you release after the spell? Do you have a mantra or some type of way to go about this? I know you should enter your workings with intention and such but I assume release is reaping it into the universe and not obsessing over it ?
Thank you. You are doing a good stuff.😇
A VERY well done video! Most excellent advice and information.
Good to know. Im considering doing deity work and perhaps involving that in a working to get a good paying job. I am terrified to do so at risk of it backfiring because anything having to affect the free will or natural course of things is always a huge risk and scoring an interview falls under that umbrella
I love your makeup here😍
how would one make sure all energy is released?
it definately happened to me, all of it. Gonna try to cover all the bases, since I lost money, and the boy i liked after trying to attract them. I'm super sad now, i mean it could have all been a coincidence, but I feel like maybe I didnt cleanse my stuff strongly enough. I donno really, but I will employ everything in this video in the future.
Cleansing is absolutely mandatory. I learned this the hard way. Also working hexes against my horrible neighbor doesn't work... But her car is another matter! I always know when it's Six thirty in the morning because her piece of crap car squeals and screeches all the way down her driveway and all the way down the street as she heads to her job at the Waffle House. HA!
Great video, thank you! You look fabulous by the way!👌
Without too many details I did a return to sender spell on someone I thought put a spell on me. Well it backfired on me. This happened years ago as a baby witch and since then I only use spell work on myself or on situations. Because my spell came back to me, I completely cancelled it by cleansing myself until things were restored.
How do I undo a banishing spell?
Could you make or already have a video about all the kind of protection like all the ones you talked here?? Familiars, angels, spirits, ancestors, etc
Thank you 😊
so i did my research all day and decided to try a protection spell. i don’t think i used anything bad but i’m really paranoid i did something wrong so if anyone’s reading this can you give me advice lol
I'm a baby witch but with my experience if you have negative feelings or thoughts about the spell then it might not work. I made a honey jar for someone and it worked, idk why I felt like I needed to do another one and it has backfired. The day after making it I was STRESSING about it not working, and guess what. 😒
I recently had a spell that almost worked, but right at the end of the work I had introduced doubt and hesitancy into the spell, and that translated into me becoming hesitant just as I was sure that the spell had worked, and suddenly everything backfired. It was a hard lesson I had to learn, especially since I normally welcome negative spirits into my space for things like shadow work. But you can't do shadow work while performing a spell not related to it, so sometimes you do have to set aside those negative feelings and spirits.
Yes, I've noticed a Negative Backfire when I cast a Spell just on money in a small bowl of seven one dollar bills that have seven's on them and with Bay Leafs and with Crystals and the bowl and Crystals and Bay leafs and money was all cleansed and a while later it was like a Backfire of Negative in the house, I think it was from others bringing Negative in the house that Backfired that reversed the Spell,...
What about binding up someone's ancestors/guides to remove their protection and leave the target vulnerable?
so if a positive spell on another person backfired will it have a positive effect on you?
Hello
Is a love ritual with a special candle- powder and liquid a negative spell
My best friend adores me and I'm in love with him and I did a love ritual with the candles for him to want me more than friends...

Thank you
