Thereโs something undeniably alluring about magick.
Whether it's candle spells, crystals under moonlight, or whispered incantations, it calls to the curious like a flame to the moth. Social media glamorizes it with aesthetic filters and bite-sized spells, giving the impression that magick is something trendy and harmless: a quick fix for love, luck, or revenge.
But hereโs the truth: real magick isnโt a game. Itโs not a costume to put on for Halloween or a spell jar you found on TikTok and decided to try because it looked "cute."
Magick is a practice rooted in energy, intention, and centuries, if not millennia, of deep spiritual tradition. And if you're not prepared to take it seriously, you might want to step back and rethink what youโre doing.
Because dabbling, quite frankly, can be dangerous.
The emotional charge of a reaction, the fear, the thrill, the sense of touching something โrealโ. can tempt someone to dive deeper into more intense spellcasting without ever learning the basics. They start jumping headfirst into the dark corners of the craft, mistaking power for understanding, aesthetic for substance.
And thatโs how people get in over their heads.
Quickly. Quietly. And sometimes, irreversibly.

Magick is a ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ข๐ค๐ต๐ช๐ค๐ฆ. Like any spiritual path, it demands knowledge, discipline, and respect. Lighting a candle and saying a chant without understanding what energy you're invoking is no different than mixing chemicals without reading the labels. Just because it doesn't look dangerous doesn't mean it isn't.
Every action in magick sets something into motion. You might not feel the effects immediately, but ripples travel. You don't have to believe in energy work for it to work on you, especially if you're meddling in things you don't understand.

A huge mistake new dabblers make is invoking spirits, deities, ancestors, the dead, or other entities, without building relationships or having proper protections in place. This is not summoning Siri to ask a question. Spirits are not obligated to play nice just because you read a few lines from a grimoire you bought on Etsy.
Disrespecting spiritual entities, intentionally or not, can open the door to lingering energies, nightmares, household disturbances, illness, and yes, even attachments. You can't just "undo" a summoning. Energy must be grounded, spirits must be properly dismissed, and your space must be cleansed.

Magick is not light-switch-on, light-switch-off. Energy has memory. And when you work with intention, especially when you mix in emotions like anger, desperation, or vengeance, it sticks. You may think a love spell is innocent, but coercing someoneโs will through magick is manipulation, plain and simple. It can backfire. Hard.
Same goes for curses and hexes. People toss them around like glitter, not realizing that most experienced practitioners know how to return energy, shield, or dismantle harmful workings, and sometimes what you send out returns magnified.

If youโre still not sure how serious this is, here are real-world examples (drawn from countless community stories) of how ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฃ๐ฃ๐ญ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ with no training, no boundaries, and no respect, can lead to more than you bargained for:

A beginner cast a candle spell to bring back an ex. It workedโฆ but he returned emotionally unstable, jealous, and erratic. What started as a wish for reconciliation became a dangerous entanglement. Coercive love magick twists energy, it's not love, it's control.
๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ซ๐ข๐ญ ๐๐จ๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐ก๐๐ญ ๐๐ข๐๐งโ๐ญ ๐๐๐ฒ ๐๐จ๐จ๐๐๐ฒ๐
A group opened a portal with a spirit board and forgot to close it. Lights flickered. Shadows moved. One girl suffered sleep paralysis for weeks. When you invite the unseen without closing the door, ๐ด๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ may walk through, and not everything is friendly.
๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฌ๐ ๐๐ก๐๐ญ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ค
Someone hexed an ex in anger. Days later, their life fell apart, job loss, car trouble, chronic headaches. It wasnโt divine punishment, and it wasnโt a case of karmic justice by way of the Threefold Law, ( a concept respected by many, though not one I personally follow.) But it was consequence. They didn't know the target had protective wards. The curse rebounded and hit them instead. Energy has a way of finding its source again.

A money spell worked, but brought an insurance payout after a house flood. Be specific in your intentions. The universe delivered cashโฆ through destruction.

A novice called out to ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ ancestors during a ritual, welcoming energies that were bitter, unresolved, and disruptive.
Not all spirits in your bloodline are helpful. Vetting matters, even with family.

A banishing spell for "all negativity" resulted in lost friendships, stalled opportunities, and emotional isolation. They didn't realize they'd just banished anything that challenged their comfort zone, including necessary growth.

After opening their third eye without learning grounding or shielding, someone became hypersensitive to other people's emotions and spiritually raw. They were bombarded with energy they didnโt know how to block.

One of the most overlooked dangers of reckless magick is how it can affect those around you, especially the most energetically sensitive beings in your home: your ๐ฉ๐๐ญ๐ฌ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ก๐ข๐ฅ๐๐ซ๐๐ง.
Cats, dogs, and young children are ๐ฏ๐ข๐ต๐ถ๐ณ๐ข๐ญ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ข๐ต๐ฉ๐ด.
They sense energy shifts more quickly than adults. When you open portals, invite spirits, or conduct spellwork without protection or grounding, you may not be the one to suffer first, ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ฒ might.

A dog suddenly growling at corners or refusing to enter certain rooms.
โ
A cat pacing at night, tail puffed, tracking something unseen.
โ
A baby waking up screaming at 3:00 a.m., eyes fixed on a space behind you.
โ
Children developing night terrors or imaginary friends that feel anything but imaginary.
โ
Pets becoming sick, lethargic, or aggressive for no medical reason after rituals.
These are not just coincidences. They are ๐ธ๐ข๐ณ๐ฏ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ๐ด.
Animals and children often ๐ต๐ข๐ฌ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ฉ๐ช๐ต when something unwanted lingers, because they can't rationalize it away like adults. They donโt second-guess their instincts.
If they're uncomfortable or distressed, pay attention. You may have left a door open you didn't even realize you created.

When you cast a spell, meditate with intent, or call to unseen forces, you're making a declaration: "I am open." Open to what? That depends on your preparation. If you donโt know how to cleanse your space, ground your energy, or create wards and protections, then you're playing with fire without learning how to put it out.

This path is not for thrill-seekers. It's for seekers, those who are willing to walk it with reverence, caution, and commitment. Practicing magick means being accountable for the energy you send into the world.
Respect the traditions, the tools, and the spirits who've been walking this path long before you picked up your first crystal. Power without knowledge is just recklessness.
โ ๐๐ ๐๐จ๐ฎ'๐ซ๐ ๐๐๐ฐ, ๐๐จ ๐๐ฅ๐จ๐ฐ
If you're drawn to the path, take it seriously. Learn protections before you cast. Understand correspondences, ethical frameworks, and grounding techniques. Journal your process. Watch the moon. Listen more than you speak.
Magick will humble you, gently or forcefully, depending on how you show up to it.

๐ข๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐ก๐ญ:
You may be able to dismiss or ignore the energy you stir, but your animals and children can't. They'll feel it first, carry it quietly, and suffer until you do something about it.
So again, donโt dabble. Baneful magick isnโt a game. If you donโt know how to shield, cleanse, or control what you conjure, youโre opening doors you may not know how to close.
Learn firstโฆ or be ready for what answers.
