13 Ways to Ward off Crazy Ex Lovers and/or Stalkers

This post inspired by witch dr's recent harrowing experience of being contacted by an ex 13 years after the breakup. Still crazy after all these years. Do you have someone who supposedly still "loves" you but in reality wants to deliver a knock out punch?
Below are some solutions (magickal and real).

1 don't answer or return phone calls.

2 don't read or respond to emails.

3. block the sender. I'm sure you know how to do this in cyberspace on your email account. to spiritually block, visualize reflective mirrors around you to block yourself from receiving any negative energy.

4. do not engage.

5. burn sage.

6. burn blue candles for protection.

7. take a cleansing and protection bath in white and black seasalt, lemon juice, and hops (an ingredient found in most beers).

8. carry a greek or turkish eye.

9. pass a whole egg down your body beginning at the crown of the head and traveling all the way down to the soles of the feet. Spiral the egg down, using both hands, in a counterclockwise direction. When you have finished, place the egg in a paper and plastic bag and smash. Throw in the trash outside of dwelling. This ritual helps to remove any astral cords or bonds.

10. get rid of any belongings you may have of this persons.

11. laugh. laugh. laugh a lot and then laugh some more.

12. Tell them to get lost, move on, get over it, etc...

13. if necessary, call the cops and get an order of protection.

Manic Monday #5 Let it Blow Over

Dear Witch Dr

I am beside myself as I keep doing love spells on this guy and they seem to have no effect. In fact, they seem to drive him even further away as I become more and more taken with him. Can you please advise?
- driven and depressed


Dear D&D
Working love magick on another person is often tricky and even considered "black magick". While reserving making any judgements on you, I will say that in my opinion your magic is ineffectual for the following reasons. Generally, when this type of magick is done, one person is OBSESSING over another. The obsessive person often does not release the magick but instead holds onto it. In essence your spell is like a big HELIUM BALLOON that you have BLOWN up. But instead of then letting go of the string and allowing the balloon to fly and float up in the cosmos, you are holding onto the string and bobbing up and down with it. Letting go would be equivalent to sending your prayer up above so that it may manifest down below. By holding on, the energy is not released so the person you are trying to work feels nothing. On the other hand, you end up feeling more and more. You'll need to let that "balloon spell" go and BLOW in the wind - that is if you haven't already BLOWN it! You'll need to know that magick such as this can have the opposite effect. The person may in fact begin to dislike you more and more as you work magick to gain their affections. Attempting to control another's will and affections can often have adverse effects especially if the soul you are working is a strong and spiritual one.

Here are some things I suggest to turn this energy around.

• approach him. flirt with him. find out on the real plane if he actually has any interest in you.
• work a spell to make yourself more magnetic and attractive. something to get yourself noticed as opposed to forcing another to have certain feelings for you.
• keep doing what you are doing but release the energy and that means BLOW him off. Pay him no mind. Don't even think about him and then see if he doesn't come around.
  

good luck and good magick!
-Witch Dr

Mellow Yellow on Manic Monday #4

Yellow is the color of the Sun. It represents warmth, stability, fame, long lasting love, health, and happiness. Yellow can also be used in visualization to energize and calm fears. Like the Sun, it burns away the 'greyness' of the day. Yellow is also a fun color and sacred to Bast the Egyptian cat goddess. Yellow is the color of intellect and can help improve your memory. A yellow candle can be burned with prayers (or magic seals) to bring forth any of the above mentioned qualities. Best day to burn yellow candles is on Sundays and Wednesdays.

Incase you don't know about this, Mo of It's a Blog Eat Blog World is running this meme. Check out his site on Sunday nights to see the word of the week for Manic Monday. It's a great way to connect with other bloggers as well as a creative incentive to write. (Yellow is also the color of inspiration!)

Magical (Manic) Monday #4 Celebrate!

This week begins with many festive events. It is a new moon and the Chinese New Year of the prosperous pig. Tomorrow is the culmination of Mardi Gras, a festival celebrated around the world that finds its roots in the ancient pagan Roman holiday of Lupercalia (and also influenced by Saturnalia). Along with celebrating the great God Pan and his Satyrs, Bacchus and Venus, today we are also celebrating the morgEpalooza or 40th birthday of fellow blogger Morgen of It's a Blog Eat Blog World. Mo actually started this Manic Monday meme and if you would like to participate, visit his blog every Sunday to find the word of the week. That's right, this week it is celebrate! Well, MO and all you birthday boys and girls, we witches have our own special traditions for solar returns. Instead of blowing out a candle and making a wish, we LIGHT a candle and make a birthday wish. It is also customary to eat sunflower seeds - 3x the number of your age to grant you good health and long life! While we're at it, let's take a look at Mo's day today. Below are his personal astrological transits. The transits refer to the current movement of the planets. By looking at how they interact with our own planets, we can see a unique astrology reading for each and every one of us. This is much more thorough than the astrology you read in the paper or online that is based on your Sun sign alone.

Mo's Transits Feb 19, 2007

Transit SUN conjoined natal Sun
Congratulations, MO! It is the beginning of another birthday year for you. Since the planetary patterns influencing your life and affairs will be different in any given year you do not always have the same feelings and attitudes every time your birthday rolls around. No matter what the circumstances happen to be however, you can take advantage of the positive potential of each birthday by making it a special time for renewing inner energy and vitality, and your faith in yourself as an individual. Reflect on what the past has taught, look forward to where you would like to be in the future, and above all, adopt the attitude and determination that you will meet and overcome every challenge that the future holds.

Transit Mars sextile natal Neptune
This is a period to look for opportunities that expand your spiritual and artistic awareness and allow you to develop and use your intuitive abilities. Taking advantage of the people and situations you encounter under this influence, may lead to more mundane opportunities including a chance to go swimming, fishing, sailing, or dancing. Depending on your particular interests and the nature of circumstances at this time, your efforts may mean eventual success in activities that involve such areas as promotion, photography, magic, illusion, oil or gas industries, charitable institutions, bankruptcy proceedings, art and entertainment. The only problem you encounter during this period may be in distinguishing genuine opportunities from false or misleading promises. Be as astute as you can under the circumstances.

Transit MARS opposed natal Jupiter
It is easy to imagine the probable result of blowing up a balloon beyond its capacity. This image is also the easiest description of the circumstances you are likely to encounter during this period. There is a tendency to assume you are capable of far greater abilities than a more honest estimation would suggest-- or, knowing full well your real limitations, it may be a case of your simply giving in to some external pressure or temptation and allowing others to make such inflated assumptions of your capabilities-- either way, you are left trying to accomplish the impossible. Under this influence actions are likely to go too fast and too far. It is in your best interests to remember that there is more than a little potential for unpleasant results if you experience too much of a good thing. This is not an auspicious time for court decisions, traveling abroad, higher education, writing, publishing, and participating in competitive sports. Physical efforts are either totally paralyzed by laziness and unwise actions, or they proceed with such extreme force as to invite dangerous consequences. Spirituality can turn into fanaticism, and intellectuality can become arrogant displays of superiority. Save grandstanding and bravado for another time.

Transit VENUS conjoined natal Saturn
It can be difficult to admire beauty for its own sake during this period. It isn’t that you lack appreciation for the things or people that catch your eye. It is more likely to be a case of also realizing there are responsibilities and commitments that accompany these attractive visions. Under this influence you are most appreciative of beauty that is traditional, structured, and orderly, or perhaps it’s just your appreciation for the intrinsic harmony of tradition, structure and order that is enhanced. If not ordinarily inclined to lead a neat or organized existence, this may be one time when you appreciate the necessity of having some order in your life. Your participation in social events and fun activities is apt to be more enthusiastic if they happen to serve some purpose in addition to the prospect of enjoyment; a combination of business and pleasure. If there is no one new you care to meet and nothing you care to do, you may prefer to either remain alone or in the company of those who do have a purpose in your life.

Transit SUN trine natal Moon
Circumstances promote pride and emotional satisfaction in home, children, and other family members. Female relationships are particularly meaningful, and a woman may provide valuable assistance. Under this influence your emotional level is high, and your intuition right on target. An excellent time to initiate artistic and other creative activities, get started with domestic projects, and enthusiastically take care of any matters that are related to children, women, or a new venture. Disappointments that do occur under this influence are apt to have a way of eventually working out to your advantage.

Transit PLUTO square natal Saturn
This long-term influence is likely to bring difficult but not insurmountable circumstances, the nature of which involves overcoming those with more power than your own, situations that involve a new start or regaining something that was lost, or dealing with the threatened loss of your own power or influence. The past becomes significantly important to the present as well as the future. If you refused to accept the necessary restrictions and limitations that were necessary for progress to be made, this becomes a time to regret your past resistance and correct your attitude. Self-discipline plays a major role. Abuse of authority in the past will have to be confronted and corrected. Ambitions must be tempered with patience and control. Obstacles may challenge your right to the rewards of age and experience, hard work and sacrifice, and the traditions and structures that support your life-style.

Transit SUN trine natal Mars
The positive energy and vitality that accompanies this influence favors all your physical efforts, the only drawback being that it also promotes a tendency for laziness. Lacking sufficient aggressiveness or the competitive spirit, you may see no necessity for taking advantage of favorable circumstances that are at hand. Avoiding the potential for indolence or a too passive attitude will net ample dividends. Superiors are impressed with your work. Male relationships and dealing with men or masculine products are favored. An excellent time to get a hair cut, attend or participate in sporting events, engage in open confrontation. If other factors do not negate the fortunate influence of this period, this is the best time to undergo surgery or dental work.

Transit MARS sextile natal Venus
Opportunities that may lead to romance, social activities, partnership, and joint ventures are potentials implied by this period. There is no guarantee that such potentials will automatically come your way. Success is more likely to be the result of deliberately putting yourself in situations that generate such opportunities. This favorable influence encourages you to help others attain their goals, and in return, you will be able to ask for their assistance in your own efforts. Legal matters, contract negotiations, enhancement of your physical appearance, and artistic projects may eventually be successful as a result of opportunities offered by present circumstances.

Go and visit the celebrated Mo today and wish him a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Manic Monday #3 Spike and you may Strike Out.

Dear Witch Dr
Valentine's Day is coming up and I really like this guy. I read a spell in a book that said I could create a potion and mix it into his drink so that he will fall in love with me. Right now we are just friends and he is well, kind of flirting with this other girl in our class. What should I do? And do you think that love potion thing will work?
Please HELP!
Valencia

Dear Valencia

As they say, all's fair in love and war but it's also best to play by the karmic rules of the game. These spells in which a drink or food is SPIKED are very common. In the old days, we even used to SPIKE a walkway or threshold by sprinkling powders that someone would walk across. But post 9/11 and the Anthrax scare, these things are not a good idea anymore. Also by SPIKING a drink with a love potion, you risk your magick backfiring. Suppose he doesn't drink it but passes it to someone else who you think is just absolutely retched! Yuck! Also, if he is strong willed, he may react adversely and begin to hate you. The best type of love magick is performed upon oneself. Here is an easy example: Take a bath in fresh oranges and mint leaves to increase your romantic allure. Or make a Love Shake in the blender by adding: 1/2 cup of milk, cup of spring water, 6 strawberries, a cored apple, three drops of vanilla extract, and crushed almonds. Drink this potion to attract attention from the person you desire and to knock out all competition. Another great spell is to take a bite from an apple and then offer it to the one your admire. If s/he takes a bite, it is a good sign that s/he will be yours. If the spell is sealed with a kiss within 24 hours, the love will be sure to last. Now you see, with this spell, you are giving your friend free will and free choice to accept or decline your offer of love.
Good luck and may Cupid's SPIKED arrow strike his heart with love for you.
Lady Venus

I'm sorry - It's Manic Monday and I just had an Aunt Clara Moment

Dear Witch Dr.

I need a spell to stop DRIFTING. My mind is always out the window and I just can't focus on ANYTHING! I did really poorly on a test yesterday and I'm afraid my boss is going to let me go if I don't start paying attention to my work. Boy if I get fired and flunk out of school, then I'll really be a DRIFTER! I'm sure you get my drift and any help you can give will be appreciated before I DRIFT away.

thanks

Daffy DRIFTS

Dear DD
It sounds like you need some CONCENTRATION powder!
Mix equal parts:

patchouli leaves
brick dust
and o damn - it's late now and my own mind is starting to DRIFT.
I'll get back to you with the last ingredient tomorrow!
