Lost My Charm—Did Someone Cast a Spell on Me? 🌀✨

[mysteryx88]

Hey everyone,

I’ve been reflecting on my life lately, and I wanted to share something that’s been on my mind. About 10 years ago, I was that guy—the one who seemed to have this magnetic charm that drew women to me like moths to a flame. I remember how they’d go out of their way to spend time with me—bringing me food at work, taking me out for drinks, and even offering to pay for… well, let’s just say the fun didn’t stop at dinner. One woman even came to my job and straight-up told me, “I’d like to… let’s just say, our dinner plans got upgraded to a group of three activity.” . Another gave me a ring, saying she wanted to marry me (though marriage wasn’t on my radar at the time).

But then, life happened.

For the past 8 years, I’ve been buried in work—work, work, and more work. I’d come home exhausted, with zero energy to do anything but sleep and prepare for the next grind. Slowly, without even realizing it, I lost touch with that vibrant, magnetic version of myself. That charm, that aura that made people gravitate toward me, just… faded.

Now, when I try to reconnect with that part of myself, it feels… off. I feel uncomfortable, almost scared, like there’s some invisible barrier holding me back. I’ve tried socializing, putting myself out there, but it’s as if that spark is gone. I can’t help but wonder: Did someone cast a spell on me out of envy? Or did I simply lose that energy by neglecting myself—emotionally, spiritually, and energetically—while chasing money and success?

I’ve dabbled in NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), and while some of the techniques have been helpful, I don’t think this is just about language or mindset. It feels deeper, like my very essence has been drained.

So, I’m turning to you, my fellow seekers of wisdom. Does anyone have recommendations for a spell, ritual, practice or even some books to read that could help me reclaim that lost charm? Something to reignite that magnetic aura and help me feel like me again? Or, how can I check if someone has cast something on me? I’m new to all of this, but I’m eager to learn and open to any guidance you can offer.

Thanks in advance for your insights—I’m ready to rediscover the magic within.

With curiosity and hope,

Firstly, it can be just a period of life. Astrology explains it very well. If you can write here you accurate time and date of birth + place (city), I could check it out and describe from an astrological point of view what happened.
Secondly, in this cases when you suspect a magical influence it's always a good practice to renew a precise course of events. The logic is very important. Usually, something changes only after a key event/man/woman/friend etc. occurs. It helps to understand a logical chain of events.
Thirdly, if you don't use magick in your everyday life, I don't understand what do you hope to find here. If I advice you to use, for example, a runic formula 'Witch mirror' to check if you have anything wrong and harmful into your life that was brought outside by others, well, sorry, but 'God from Bible' wouldn't help in this case.

Hey Alex, thanks for reaching out. I could really use some help—I've tried a lot of things, but nothing's really worked so far.

I'm new to magick. I’ve heard amazing things about it from stories, friends and people around social circles, but this is my first time actually trying spells or rituals to improve my own life. I don’t know my exact birth time, just that it was at night. I was born in San Miguel, El Salvador on August 18, 1993.

I started feeling like this after a breakup a few years back. Never heard of the "witch mirror" thing before, but I’m totally open to learning more. Thx again!

I think you've matured, for better or worse; additionally, the world around you has changed. You can't go back to your carefree younger days because now you do have cares, more life experience as well as practical insights that were not accessible to you ten years ago. You said it yourself: life happened. You can only attain a degree of vitality commensurate to your present age but not your youthful innocence.

What I'd like to recommend is exercise which should be no-brainer but hear me out: working up an honest sweat cuts through all those ruminations concerning curses and 'invisible barriers', various NLP experiments or other futile attempts to alter your mentality through sheer willpower alone; they will hardly make any difference if your body feels dull and sluggish from an unhealthy lifestyle.

In your case I definitely wouldn't recommend yoga, running, or going to the gym to lift weights but rather some athletic discipline that excites you, gives a dopamine rush and and makes you feel more alive. For some guys it's chasing a ball, for others it's martial arts or any sport where you gradually acquire new abilities and skills, something that grips you to the point of fanaticism. Gym workouts mostly focus on utilitarian aspects of exercise, losing weight, toning the body, looking good with your shirt off, etc. Instead, I advocate something that above all is FUN. Let all those the hormones released by your physical actitivity wash your worries away, or at least make sure you give yourself a regular break from them.

Just wanted to say that as someone reading the thread, you absolutely nailed it. On a micro level, when I would feel more depressed, with no sexual energy, etc. it would be a PHYSICAL issue. I can't have that type of energy if I gained weight since that time and was not proud of my body. It's literally PREVENTING me from having that energy until I would get back into shape, like I did at the time of having that energy.

Well, I can advise you. Considering you're a complete novice. You need actions that you can physically understand. Such big signs for you to understand what to work with. Let's try this. You will make yourself an annealing diagnosis, tell me about the result, and we'll think about what direction to take next. If you are shy to write here the result, when you do it, write me a personal sms. I see this ritual as a way out of the situation, so that you can understand exactly whether there is anything or not. You need two wax candles. NATURAL (from beeswax). No paraffin, no artificial additives. Incense or dry herb with a heavy masculine odour. Juniper, cedar, tobacco, something like that. In silence, over the next few days, while the waning moon is just beginning, light the first candle. Light incense, and in your own words, from the heart as you feel say: ‘Fire - father, help, prompt, point out the bad. Take the incense as a gift’. While the first candle is burning and incense is smoking, take the second candle in your hands, roll it on your body, from feet to head, on hands. then light it from the first candle. Start rolling the lit candle at a distance of 10 cm from the body (it is not necessary to go closer, there is a danger of damaging the aura) from the right side to the left side and back from the bottom (approximately from the knees) upwards (above the head). It is important to notice, in what place the candle smokes or strongly ‘cries’. In these places we clean until the smoke disappears and the candle burns evenly. During the annealing we read the words: ‘I burn myself (Name) with holy fire, I burn out all evil from myself (Name). Go away, evil, smoke, soot, tears of the candle, and do not come back to me (Name). So be it!’ Say it so many times, while waving the candle near the body. Then the remaining candle can be put to burn out next to the first candle. Put the candle to burn out and say: ‘Thank you fire, for helping me, for cleansing’ Technical moments: make a candle ‘skirt’ for example from paper or foil, so that the wax does not drip on your hands. The data that I want to receive from you after: how much the candle burned, or it went out. In what place on the body it behaved unusually. What is your condition after this ritual. Perhaps after there was a call or SMS from a person who has not contacted you for a long time. Or other interesting strange situations. Since I am using a translator, some things may not be clear. If anything, please don't hesitate to ask. And use your logic. Magic is a flight of fancy. The main thing is to set the right mood!) Good luck)

Oh, one more major nuance. Don't do it in front of a mirror.

Hello Baranova,

I just wanted to share the data for the ritual you shared to me… so here’s the rundown on everything you asked about

Did the candle burn evenly?
The candle on the right (the one I used on my body) didn’t burn evenly at all (look the pictures below). The wax dripped all the way down for some reason, making a bit of a mess. Meanwhile, the left candle (the one I didn’t use) burned super clean—hardly any residue or drips.

Where on your body did the candle smoke or “cry” the most?
I didn’t notice any major differences in where the wax dripped (the "crying"). And there wasn’t any smoke while I was passing the candle over my body either. It was just the flame and heat, but no smoke or crying.

How do you feel emotionally, mentally, and physically after the ritual?
I don’t feel a huge shift, but there’s a slight change—I’m feeling a little more open to exploring new things, like I used to be. Not super motivated, but not unmotivated either. It’s more of a neutral, curious vibe, like I’m just thinking, "Hmm, maybe I should try something different in my life."

Did you receive unexpected calls, messages, or signs from people or situations connected to your concerns?
No random calls or messages, but there was this small moment at the grocery store. A woman behind me when I was about to pay said to me, "Excuse me," grabbed something she needed, then asked how I was doing. We exchanged the usual "I’m good, you?" but I got the sense she wanted to keep talking—like her eyes were lingering, but she didn’t know how to continue. It felt... intentional, maybe? Not sure, but it stood out as I am not normally asked how am I doing by random people at the stores.

Timing & Candle Behavior:
I did the ritual Wednesday night around 10 PM, and the candles burned for about 6 hours (until 4 AM). Funny thing—the right candle (the one I used on my body) went out first, even though I lit it after the left one. You’d think it’d burn longer, right? Not sure why it happened that way.

Let me know if you need anything else, and thanks again for your time and everyone else time!

Hi, for some reason I think the candles have paraffin in them. If that's the case, the diagnosis is wrong. If you want to try it again, I would like to see the candle's burn, the remains, on a flat surface. Perhaps it will be foil or a flat plate. Ok, if the changes are still at least a little bit started, write me in a personal sms, I will share with you another cleaning, it does not apply to candles, it is from rune magic, but I am not ready to bring it to the public. The fact that spoke to you unfamiliar woman, and if this has not happened before, can say that this is either a hint that made it a woman, or that some of the layers of negativity still came off, and you have become more open and visible to the world. One ritual in any case it can not be solved, you need to work further) Perhaps you should still look at other cleansing).

Hello... I'm pretty sure these candles don’t have paraffin in them. The place I bought them from said they’re 100% beeswax, so that’s a plus. I still have a few left since they came in a pack of six, so I don’t mind doing the ritual again—just gotta wait for the next waning moon, haha. Oh, and I’d totally be open to trying that rune magic ritual you mentioned too!

I’ll figure out how to message you! I don’t have enough posts yet to send DMs , but I’ll see what I can do. Thanks again for your help!
