Best: Can't say, have too many of that type in action at the moment to talk about them. lol

Worst: A binding that I jumped into mad, half assed, and without all the facts. It worked, I just ended up having to undo it later when I realized that I'd gotten mad, ignored my intuition, and didn't even bother to do divination about the uncertain aspects of the situation due to my rage. Oh well lesson learned!

Most Difficult: Like J, I'm not a natural healer.  High motivation is necessary.

Its hard for me to think of any spells that totally blew up in my face. There are ones I have had to reapproach because the first approach didn't work. There have been ones where I didn't think of absolutely everything so although they were effective, one thing went less how I wanted it to then it could have. But over all my spells have been effective and I am happy with them.

Well, come to think of it, once I did get my husband a seven day candle for drawing luck and passing a test. He wasn't really into it yet, his confidence was low and I don't know, it just wasn't working. The candle spontaneously fell off of his desk and broke into shards. Later on he did retake the test after he felt more confident about his chance of success and he passed. I don't regret doing the spell-and I didn't say anything when it broke, but I knew he wouldn't pass when that happened. I have had things fall or break, because kids got involved or pets or clumsiness, and I just started over again, but just breaking all by itself when no one was down there, yeah it wasn't gonna go off.

Later on we did a different spell to help him get a job. He was much more into it, he wanted a job and was closer to believing himself then.  And that spell did work, very effectively.  My most successful area is job magic. I am also pretty good with love and fertility magic.

I like this thread.

Best -- I don't know if it's technically my best, but the most satisfying was the hex(es) I put on a particularly nasty ex.That's when I realized that the art of a dark working is its precision. You don't need a bunch of doom and destruction when a well placed pebble in the shoe will do. Also, I did a working to make that same ex move out of my state. Within a couple months he moved a thousand miles away.

I am also pretty decent at getting someone to contact me, but that is not really a spell so much as just something I sort of project with my mind.

Worst -- Kind of a cop out, but any where I have told anyone about it. I know better than to blab about my workings but a time or two out of loneliness and the feeling that I could share with someone safe, I've blabbed. The spell still might've technically worked, but gone all wonky or underwhelmingly. Kind of like bad sex.

I also suck at money spells. Probably because of my powerfully negative emotions regarding money.

Most difficult -- Detaching/banishing a negative entity (I am not sure what it "is") from someone I care about. So far my results have ranged from angering it (like I was poking it with a stick) to subduing and weakening it. I need to do more research and have a better plan before trying again. This is not an area I have a lot of experience with.

My best spell: It's hard to choose! My money spells work very well. So do my knot spells. I am also good at getting people to call me, all I have to do is think about them. Sometimes we call each other at the same time!

My worst spell:
1. I cast a lurrrrrve spell when I was 16. The guy I cast it on began to date my worst enemy three days later.

2. When I tried to do a reversal spell and ended up creating a link with the subject instead. In the end, I had a dream in which I repeatedly stabbed him to death. Periodically, the link comes back and I have to cut it, but he moved 1000 miles away so it's not as bad as it was before.

My *most difficult* spell, to date: the one I'm currently thinking of doing. It's needful, I think, in this ongoing situation. It's a binding on a relative whom I adore, and that's why it's so difficult. I don't want to hurt her, so I won't hex her, but if all works out properly, the binding will cancel out the need for a hex.

quote post #2[How do you feel about getting energy/thoughts - even good wishes - from others?

I like getting good wishes from others, but I dislike it in the form of prayer, which imho is an empty way of shoving off your good wishes onto your deity form, and assuming they care about someone who doesn't care for them enough to help them out. I understand the kindness behind such acts, but they still bother me (probably some sort of remnant of being Xtian, or maybe because it's my mother who does it most often).

As for doing works for others, no one's ever asked.

quote post#38(Seacow)[In hindsight this particular spell might be why everyone always finds someone to love after spending a night with me.. Everytime.

Seacow, that sounds like the movie Good Luck Chuck! (only that one was precipitated by a curse)

My best spell was a spell for my BF to get him a job. He tried to find a job for months (he had to work in UK or USA as a part of his studies to bring evidence of his language abilities) but he didn't get one. Though I did not want him to leave Germany (and therefore me) for several weeks I saw his need and so I asked him if I should try to do a spell and get him a job. He didn't believe this would change anything, so he said he doesn't care, but if I want to ... So I did the spell and I tried very hard to focus my will and let my emotions not bother me. Two weeks later he got a perfect job in London (exactly where I wanted him to go, because I wanted to visit him there ) and he didn't even apply for it, it all came to him and went so smoothly. He, of course, said it was all coincidence.     

The worst spell I had done was also the silliest one. I was on my way to a vacation with some old friends and people I didn't yet know and there was a guy I once really liked and another guy I thought I maybe would like to know better. Well, I didn't want to do a love spell or such thing, but I tried to enhance my sexyness and make myself especially desirable so the guys would give me the most attention. First of all I almost burned the interior while doing the spell. Then the guys on vacation couldn't took their eyes - and hands - of me, especially the ones I had thought of and who where such nice and shy gentlemen before this mess. I was so pissed off and though I broke the spell it seriously damaged a friendship.

The most difficult was a ritual for healing. I guess I am to sceptic when it comes to dealing with illness without a doctor (even though I have witnessed some unbelievable cases of healing with hands, energy, magic and so on), so I couldn't really focus my will.

Most difficult spell was Hex to someone who was threatening my sanity.  Nothing too permanent but gave me some breathing space while she was off sick for a week.

Best spell was sending some good luck to a struggling family member

Worst was a true intentions spell that gave me a few unwelcome suprises

Best-Hmmm I usually dub my best spell to be my very first binding which included about thirteen people and making sure they didnt spread or
remember a horribly true rumor hahahah. It was pretty basic and had some hoodoo elements to it but the working that was the most intense for
me so far has been directing weather.

Worst- The absolute worst spell I've done was a evocation of eros on valentines day to bring me a dedicated love it resulted in a very
strange guy stalking me for the better part of two years as well as going through hoop sand bounds to find out the names and living arrangement of my entire family.

Most difficult- my ritual to bring back the spirit of a dead familiar (one that still seeks to serve) I didnt have any experience with necromancy or
spirit summoning binding before that and athough it had one of the least amount of ingredients for a spell ive ever cast it had me laid out for
about three days from the loss of energy.
