How to Prepare Before Ordering a Spell, and What to Do Afterwards
By Haggath ·
Before ordering a spell, get clear on the one thing you are asking for, choose the spell that fits that situation, and write to me honestly about what is happening. Afterwards, read my letter, keep the small home customs I suggest, and carry on living in the direction of your hope. Results vary, and a spell is a spiritual practice, not a guarantee.

Dzień dobry, moja droga. A spell begins long before I light the candle — it begins with you, sitting quietly and deciding what you really want. Here is how to make that beginning a good one.
Get clear on one thing
Sit somewhere quiet with a cup of tea. Ask yourself: if this spell could help with one thing, what would it be? Not five things — one. 'I want our quarrel to soften so we can talk again' is clearer than 'I want everything to be fixed'.
Write it in a sentence. If you find you have two very different wishes, it is usually better to order two separate spells at different times, or to use the custom spell and let me shape one working.
It can help, too, to write your wish down by hand, on paper, before you write it in the order form. There is something about a pen that slows the mind. Read it back the next morning. Does it still feel true? Is it kind — to you and to anyone else involved? Is it something you would be glad to have happen, not just something you want in a moment of hurt? If the answer is yes, you are ready. Keep that paper somewhere safe; some people like to tuck it under a candle on the evening they order, as their own small part of the work.
Choose the right kind of spell
Look through the categories: love and reconciliation, protection and hex removal, money and luck, spirit and energy, or custom. Read the spell descriptions properly. If you are deciding between love and reconciliation work, my post on that choice will help.
Each spell has options. Casting strength sets how much work and material goes in. Manifestation length is the period the spell is intended to carry over. Choose what feels right; neither is a promise of outcome or timing.
What to write when you order
When you order, there is space to tell me your focus and the details. Write plainly: the names involved (first names are fine), what has happened, how long it has been, and what you hope for. Tell me if anything has already been tried. You do not need to write beautifully. Honest is better than polished.
Only share what you are comfortable sharing. What you tell me stays private. I never need passwords, bank details or anything of the sort, and I will never ask for them.
Payment and your account
You need an account to order; it is where your letter will arrive and where you can write to me privately. Payment is through PayPal in US dollars, and the price is worked out by the shop from the options you chose, so you see it before you pay. Nothing is posted to you.
While I cast
I cast by hand at my table near Kraków, at a suitable time by the moon or the ritual calendar. You do not need to do anything during the casting. Some people like to light a candle of their own on the evening they order, as a small way of joining in — that is lovely, but never required. Please do not burn candles unattended.
What to do afterwards
When the work is done, you will receive a letter as a PDF in your account and by email. Read it slowly. It tells you what I did and may suggest small things to keep: a red thread, a little salt by the door, a candle on a certain evening.
Then — and this is the most important part — live forward. Take care of yourself, behave with dignity, take the practical steps that are yours to take. Do not keep checking for signs every hour. In the old villages magic and daily work went together, and they still should.
Results vary from person to person. If you are worried or something does not feel right, write to me through your account. And for anything medical, legal or financial, please speak to a qualified professional as well.
Common mistakes to avoid
Over the years of reading letters, I have seen the same few mistakes again and again, so let me name them kindly. The first is ordering in a panic, late at night, after a bad argument. Wait until morning if you can; a calmer heart writes a clearer letter. The second is ordering many different spells at once, all pulling in different directions. One clear working is better.
The third is expecting the spell to do everything while you do nothing. If you want a new job, you still need to send the applications. If you want to mend a friendship, you may still need to say sorry. The fourth is believing anyone — anywhere — who tells you the spell has failed and that you must now pay more to save it.
And the last mistake is forgetting to look after yourself. Eat properly, sleep, talk to friends. A spell cast for a person who is caring for themselves has fertile ground to fall on.

Questions people ask
Do I need to do anything during the casting?
No. I do the work. Some people light a candle of their own as a small way of joining in, but it is never required.
What information should I give?
First names, what has happened, how long, and what you hope for. Only what you are comfortable sharing.
How will I receive the spell?
As a written letter in PDF, in your account and by email. Nothing is posted.
Can I order more than one spell at once?
You can, but one clear working at a time is usually better. If your situation is tangled, the custom spell is often the best choice.
What if nothing changes?
Results vary, and a spell is not a guarantee. Write to me if you are worried, and take care of the practical side too.
Would you like me to cast for you?
If your trouble does not fit neatly into one basket, tell me about it through a custom spell.
