Starting Out

I'm not sure if this is the right place, but I did a graveyard dirt spell. I have since moved and my mom accidentally dumped some of the ingredients in the trash. She put them back, but I'm wondering if I need to do this spell again. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you

Hello, I did a energy transfer spell into a small stone. Can this stone be used to draw energy from to add other spells? I presume the answer is yes but I wanted to know if that stone could be used as a sort of extra energy source?

I could not have said it better myself.

So if it doesn't matter if you have the right ingredients as long as you believe the spell will work, would that support the idea that spell casting is just a ritual to tap into the power of the mind?
I'm exploring philosophies on chaos magick and trying to understand the deeper workings and mechanics of magick.

Thank the Gods for you starrie. this will help allot.

I know this is an old thread but I wanted to express my thanks to you for taking the time to write it. I've never cast a spell before but I'm very interested. I'm also very cautious because I know things can also go wrong--either nothing happens, the spell backfires or I've even heard of people conjuring up trouble they never expected. Nevertheless, I thank you Starrie, for posting this valuable information.
