a spell?

[Anonymous]

A friend of mine who was once a teacher told me an interesting story but we have not been able to figure out it's meaning or even if there is a meaning. Maybe, someone here might know the answer?

My friend taught at a school and another fellow teacher (both female) gave here a gift one day. An apple and a package, inside the package were two black candles and clear glass candle holders. The gift giver fellow teacher told my friend to burn the candles at the dinner table the next time her and her boyfriend were having dinner. Of course my friend and her boyfriend were spooked and throw the candles away. One interesting note was when ever my friend told the fellow teacher of plans for a up coming weekend with the boyfriend things would go wrong, when she didn't mention anything it was peaceful. Anyone?

Could have just been innocent gifts with good intent.

Not knowing more about the one offering the gift, the recipient and other such infomation, it would be really difficult to make a call one way or the other.

Usually, though, these things are more the result of an overactive imagination.

I'd say it's probably coincidence.

Remember....when you hear hoofbeats it's more apt to be horses than zebras.

Does that apply in the Serengheti??

[Lark]

Nope...things are the opposite there.

So, it's more likely to be horses than zebras if you don't hear the hoofbeats??

Now I'm really confused..................  :cry:

Okay, but black candles with instructions? Very odd gift.

Some people are very odd.........

Spells can certainly be used in such a way.  However, like Lark and RedRonin have already said it is not likely to be bad magic at work here.

What you describe could certainly be a spell.  It could also be that this woman, and possibly her boyfriend are being psyched out by this other woman, either on purpose or quite by accident.

Usually when someone casts a spell to cause disharmony between two others they don't generally tell the others about it.  Forewarned is forearmed.

That being said there are any number of trash sites out there that offer spells of all types, some free, some for profit.  Some of those sites simply post recipes and you just add a few ingredients, while some offer up the ingredients for sale ready made and you just follow the instructions when the package arrives.

Just how effective is such a spell?  Who knows.  How much energy can you put into, and maintain, when mass marketing a spell for someone you have never even met?  How much intent does the end user actually put into the spell?  Does the end user really understand that it is his/her intent and focus that makes the spell work?  The variables can drive you nuts trying to figure them out.

The interesting thing though, to get back to the Forewarned thing, is that it is so easy to fend off such an attack that it is a waste of time if the victim is aware of the magic being used.

As Chuck said, it could just be that it was an innocent gift. Without knowing more of the situation we can't make much of a judgement call on this one.  Is there some kind of triangle going on here?  Does the other woman have the hots for the boyfriend?  Does she have the hots for your friend?  Is she a former girlfriend of the guy and trying to protect your friend.  Did she just wish them well and try to help her out by suggesting a quiet candle lit dinner.  (Black candles are often used to dispell or banish but they are also nice on a dimly lit dinner table because they disappear and leave only the two points of light as romantic accents.)  Without more information we are just taking a few shots in the dark here.

If your friend is interested she may want to learn some good meditative grounding techniques, and perhaps learn a few basics about cleansing and securing her home.

No love triangle at all....

One interesting point was during a conversastion between the two women the gift giver mentioned that her brother thought that she was evil. As it turned out she had screwed one of her students out attending an Ivy League school by making it impossible for this "A" student to pass her course.

It sounds like an overreaction to me to but yet agian... It might have been something else.
