Would be cool to build a collection of spell success stories here. A place to celebrate and be thankful when our spellwork brings us the results we were working toward.
My best result was probably manifesting the love of my life about three years ago. I learned a lot about sigil magick that brought a lot of positive change to my life and led to my soulmate finding me when I was least expecting it.
I have something in motion right now. Keeping my focus has been tough (harder than the actual casting, weirdly enough). But hearing how a spell played out for someone else, especially the weird turns it took along the way, that genuinely helps when my patience is running low. Just knowing someone else sat with that same waiting feeling and eventually got results… always good vibes.
Anyway. Share your success stories! Curious what other people’s experiences have been like.

Love this idea! My biggest success was casting a candle spell for financial stability about two years ago. I used a green candle dressed with cinnamon oil, carved my intention into it, and burned it over three waxing moon nights. I asked for a steady income, not a windfall.
Nothing the first week. Lost a freelance client the second week, total gut punch. But then two better, steadier gigs landed within the month. The universe took a wild detour.
I understand what you’re saying about the focus. Lust for results can choke the magick if you obsess over it. What helped me was acting like it was already done, just vibe into that feeling. Simple, but it worked.
I like a quick sigil too. Charged one for a job interview confidence boost, burned it, and forgot about it during prep. Nailed the job. I remembered it later. Pure magick.

Oh, I’m so here for this thread. Beautiful story.
My favorite was a honey jar about a year and a half ago. Not for love, but a hostile work manager. Honey, petition paper (her name x3 crossed with mine), lavender for peace, chamomile. Pink candle every Friday.
Two weeks in, she softened up. Not fake, just less sharp. Started listening in meetings. By month’s end, almost friendly. Still maintain it weekly, and it’s held.
Honey jars are slow sweetening magic. The honey draws in sweetness. Gentle nudge that builds.
I used to be skeptical of sigil - seems too simple, but did it for fatigue anyway - last year: vitality intent, wallet carry, daily mental check-ins. A few weeks, steady energy boost. simple.
Waiting is harder than casting. You’re powerful in the moment, just trust.

Good thread!
Lunar timing makes the biggest difference for me. Waxing for drawing in or growth, full moon for peak power, waning for banishing. I found that to be my perfect rhythm.
I botched a prosperity candle spell on a waning moon once. Total flop. Redid it on waxing crescent with a green candle and basil oil. Shifts happened in days. After a few tries, it’s no coincidence anymore.
Best one: New moon creative block ritual four years back. Set intention then (my go-to for seeding). By full moon, I’d written more than in the prior six months. Matching the moon’s build-up energy was gold.
OP, struggling with focus post-casting is normal. The real work is letting go.

I used some healing spellwork for my friend and mentor.
She made it. Full recovery, doctors were astonished, they’d told us she wouldn’t see the morning. All from one desperate green candle and a plea to Aesclepius… just, if she had to go, let it be without pain, but please let her stay. And she stayed.
Cord burning can become the catalyst for things you didn’t even know you needed. I burned one five years ago to release someone emotionally, and right after, a barred owl landed on my balcony railing. They’ve always marked major changes for me.
So that felt like confirmation from the Goddess, like the spell was clearing a path I couldn’t see yet. And it did.
That working eventually led me to reconnect with an old friend who’s now my husband.
My biggest success was a dream-incubation spell for a stuck friendship. Mugwort tea, a petition under my pillow, a clear question, and I woke up with the exact words needed. Fixed in days.
I (personally) think that everyone who really practices the craft probably sees a lot more success than failure. The problem might be (again, just my opinion) that the TikTok generation thinks they’re going to repeat a few words from a video and find millions of dollars in their bank account the next day. Do they really think this is going to work?
It’s a sad state of the world, but I suspect that’s one of the main reasons we see so many people visiting, but then they don’t stick around to actually learn the craft. They’re witchy in name only, nothing more.
But real spellwork success stories are far more common than they might think. It’s just that spellwork isn’t what they expect it to look like.

Yeah, that’s perfect.
I think almost all of my spells have worked to some degree or another. Maybe not some of the ones I did right at the start (when I didn’t really know what I was doing) but everything else has worked.
Did a working for safe passage before a long road trip last week. Keys from old locks, anointed with clove and patchouli oil. Spoke my route into a crossroads offering of honey and black candle wax, then buried the whole bundle at a quiet intersection near my place.
The trip went smoothly. No breakdowns, no close calls, even with bad weather forecasts the whole way. Gas stayed cheaper than expected too, which wasn’t what I planned for, but I’ll take it. Burned incense to Hekate at the end. Felt right.

My entire life took a wild turnaround when I found my practice.
It’s better in every single way. Emotionally, physically and spiritually.
Ok so this is a small one but it still makes me smile
Last autumn I did a kitchen spell, stirred intention into a batch of soup, of all things. I was going through a really rough patch with my health (chronic fatigue stuff) and I just… wanted to feel like myself again. That’s it.
Within two weeks my energy shifted noticeably. Not a cure, but something broke loose. Whatever was stagnant finally let go and started to flow again (and it wasn’t my soup, I like it so thick that the ladel stands up!).
Kitchen witchcraft doesn’t get enough credit, honestly

Made myself a drawing pouch for sales. Red flannel bag, sewn up by hand. I loaded it with cinnamon sticks, vetiver root, a lodestone rubbed with magnetic oil, and three gold coins. Danced around it under the full moon chanting my shop’s name, which felt a little silly at first but also kind of right.
The next market day, customers swarmed my booth. Every single handmade candle and soap batch, gone. Doubled my usual take and even got repeat orders on the spot (that never happens to me).
Been keeping the pouch in my apron pocket ever since. Sales just keep rolling in.

Protective work just doesn’t get the credit it deserves. I was literally saying this to a friend yesterday, ward work never comes up in these threads because it’s not flashy.
My most reliable spellwork has been exactly that. I set wards on my apartment about eight months ago, black salt and spoken intent at every entry point, basic stuff. And the energy shift since then has been noticeable. Not just to me either (which is the part that gets me), two separate people have walked in and commented on how calm it feels without knowing I had done anything at all.
Maintenance spellwork deserves its own success stories thread honestly.

Just wanted to add that protection spellwork sometimes shows results in ways you really don’t expect. I enchanted a bracelet to repel negative energy and ended up losing toxic friendships, which honestly cleared the path for better people and way better mental health. Didn’t see that coming.
Like, I was bracing for some kind of energetic shift, not a full social reorganization. But looking back it makes sense… sometimes protection magic just removes what needs removing.
All 13 of my solstice wishes from last year have arrived. Every single one.
Today I got a job offer that matched everything I asked for, down to details I never even specified a timeline for. Still sitting here like… okay then.
So my partner spell took the longest to manifest. I left off any time constraints deliberately because I’d rather wait for the right person than settle for something mediocre.
The money jar and freezer spells showed results way faster (like a month for the money jar), but the love spell taught me patience in a way I wasn’t expecting. Even when there was zero proof it was working, I just… trusted it. And now that I’m typing this out, I think that might be the whole point.
$6,500 showed up in our account two weeks after I put together my first money bowl. My partner finally had to admit magic is real.
Wait. I just realized something about my current best friend. She matches every single quality I wrote down in that attraction spell I did maybe a year and a half ago. Every one.
I had completely forgotten about it until just now, but meeting her five months ago was definitely the spell coming through. Sometimes the results manifest so naturally you almost miss the connection.
The money spell during my divorce. Still my favorite.
Messy split, about to lose my place, facing moving across the state away from my kid. Cast it when things were hopeless. Found housing in days, landed a big job weeks later.
Magic flows like water, it needs a crack to slip through. My famiily ancestors are fiercely protective. People who wrong me get theirs without me lifting a finger. Just noticed the pattern recently.
