does anybody else believe it may be possible to have a spell that could be powerful enough to ((how do i say this!?)) to banish something such as an eating disorder?? :/
please don't hurt me btw. i'm very new to witchcraft, but my intentions are to fix something that seems impossible to fix, i have tried everything except witchcraft so it is worth a try isn't it??

[AutumnMaidens]

Hard to say. Because an eating disorder is a manmade problem it should be solved by the person in question. You could ask for assistance and guidance while trying to rid yourself of it off course.
I've heard of people who did spells to lose weight and got in an accident where they lost a limb. So I believe spells can be extremely powerful but that we should always care which way we send it. Since spells are basically willpower set to do a task, so you can imagine how strong certain spells can be.

Hope this helps,
Blessings

oh my, that does help, i have now got somebody without an arm in my mind and that's a good start for me lol, kind of makes me think i need to do this very very carefully :/
that's really scary..but i'd still like to try.

would it also depend how powerful the person casting the spell is?? or does it just depend on the spell??
thanks you so much for replying btw
xx

I don't think there is such a thing as a powerful caster, we use willpower so the stronger your will the stronger your spell. If you doubt than your will is weaker and if you are sick it is harder to concentrate your will, those are the only things that could change the level of energy you can put behind your spellwork. Asking for assistance from your guides and/or the gods might strengthen a spell but it's up to them to decide if they want to help or not.

I don't know what kind of eatting disorder you suffer from but I would start with asking for strength and guidance, so that you may help yourself.

Blessings and you are very welcome

well, since i haven't exactly hidden it, i will be honest and i'm bulimic. i've had it for 7 years and i've tried and tried and given up and tried again and given up and eurghh. it will help me at least to focus on something else other than food for once..anyway, i'm not just here to try and sort my life out, i am genuinely interested in wicca and i'd love to learn all about it so i can eventually call myself a wiccan

but til then i have a lot to be learning and i seriously don't want to get any of it wrong.

hmm, sorry, err how do i ask for strength and guidance and who do i ask?? or what do i ask?? :/
i have no idea..

[raynelae]

My advice is to learn about Wicca, believe me it will help you change (if you want to learn about it). Spells are very, very powerful depending on what energies are put out. My heart sends positivity to you and I will say a prayer for you. Remember the Wiccan Rede and threefold law. This forum is a good place for beginning Wicca/Witchcraft so I suggest looking on the foum.
Blessed be and message me if you need to talk!

[raynelae]

And let me add, I'm not trying to covert you to Wicca, I just saw that your interested in learning Wicca. Search through your heart for your answers. You CAN and WILL overcome your battle

[AutumnMaidens]

I respect you for not giving up, and for having the courage to come out for your problem and picking up arms to fend yourself against it. It is always difficult to get something like this under control because it's something that reacts to your emotional state of mind, so basically, when you are able to balance your emotional state you will soon be able to balance your physical state.

Depending on your personal belief system you might preffer asking the devine, the god/dess fairies/guides/animal spirits. You can talk to the gods or your spiritual guides, you might want to do an esbat ritual and talk to the goddess as you draw down the moon asking for her guidance and protection.

Blessings and please don't hesitate to ask me anything or leave me a message if you want

[sapph]

thanks for all of the advice and it all makes sense.
the hardest part is like what AutumnMaidens said, i'll need to sort my mind out before i can do any of it :/

i will need to ask about esbat ritual :/ like, what do i need to do??
i don't mind asking for help from those of a higher plain, but why would they help me?? or would i have to do something for them?? :/ scaryyy

[AutumnMaidens]

Spiritual guides are spirits you have come in contact with in previous lives, they grow on the spiritual plain and choose to stay around the people they love to guide them. They don't require you to do anything, they help you because they are beyond the emotions we know on the mortal plain. They are enlightened and see the grand plan and so offer assistance to you because you were an important part of the lives they led before this one.

As for the gods, I would like to imagine, as a follower of the goddess that I am her daughter and as such am a link to her, a shared heartbeat between myself and the devine mother. She is as a mother should be, a patient woman who hears her children. It doesn't always require her to do anything, just talking can bring this wonderful feeling of completion, knowing that to her it doesn't matter you are one of many because you are an individual creation and she will always hear you.

I'll write something on Esbats once I get home again.

Blessings

[AutumnMaidens]

Esbats are full moon celebration, since the moon is often seen as the goddess it is mostly a goddess celebration but since she borrows her light from the sun it can also be used to celebrate the both of them. During this celebration it is tradition to draw down the energy of the moon and use it for your magical workings. You can also use the energy you draw down to cleanse yourself or charge yourself, you can offer cakes and whine as token to the great mother but you can also send some of your own energy in trade for yours.

Hope this helps!

Blessings

Maybe instead of doing one big banishing spell, you could do a series of spells to target different areas. In a sense, you would whittle away it - weakening the stronghold - and then banish it. I know it seems that the bigger the problem is for me, the more complicated it is. For me to understand how to handle or overcome a problem I break it down into smaller components. I can't see why that can't translate into spellwork too. I hope this was helpful. I'll send positive energies to you. Blessings : )
