you have to practice to do anything good, don't you? to some witchcraft comes easily, but to others it takes a lot of practice. which makes you respect it more. always think positive. tell yourself that the spell is going to work. if you don't believe it is going to work then why would it. believe in yourself. at least you are trying. and you don't have to do every thing the book says. it gives you basic outlines. use that and go with what YOU think is right. what works for one person doesn't always work for another.
