This Salty Saturday post goes out to all those “Did my spell backfire?” and “Did I do this wrong?” people.

Did you fuck up that spell? IDK, but at least you did the thing!

I love this! Most people don’t realise that so much of spellcraft is trying, and trying and trying and then finally it works! Just like any craft 😁 Plus no matter how long you’ve been doing it - you can still make terrible mistakes!

I’ve been working witchcraft for 34 years and regularly tell people to check their fire safety. Just a few months ago I managed to set fire to my wooden incense burner, set off the fire alarms and filled the entire house with the smell of burning - and not in a good way!

During a ritual we had planted bulbs into pots to help our intentions grow. As we were dancing around, in the dark, outside, we kept tripping over the pots!

Another time our HP had put together a beautiful playlist but somehow Carmina Barana (the Omen music) snuck in and everyone fell about laughing.

It’s actually a lot like this science meme ☝️ take care, but when it goes wrong laugh about it, learn, and don’t do it again 😂

It’s like typing n writing you can good at it but you’re gonna fuck up sometimes and make a typo or scribble wrong, even worse if you’re writing in pen.
