ok thanks. i just need a reason to cast that spell now...

You're welcome.
If you have any other questions, my inbox is always open.

Anger is generally too uncontrolled and unfocused to be use in spellwork. In fact I was taught that it was not a good idea to even try to cast spells when angry because it could warp and twist the outcome. When you're really angry it's very difficult to maintain the focus and concentration necessary for successful spells.

Building on Lark's input. Not only is anger unstable, but in using it in magic, it can take positive spells, and turn them negative(ie instead of a protection spell, you'll attract bad luck.

My go to solution is of course meditation. If you can't control your anger than you should not be doing magic, you'll only put yourself in danger. If you can learn to control it and focus on positivity, it will greatly improve your workings because strength of mind will lead to greater focus of will and increase in your ability to focus your energy.

If you don't know how to meditate there are several very informative threads that can guide you through the process.

Good Luck!

I do agree with Lark and Gekko on this topic. I also believe that you can use that anger and it's negativity in a curse and other negative aspects. I do believe releasing that anger in a curse and whatnot can help someone become at peace (honesty depends on the person). That does not mean you randomly do curses though. Anger and negativity can affect spells like stated before. You can try getting help with anger management classesand other alternatives. You can also try to meditate, cleanse, ground, and center yourself before you do a spell if you have any anger or negativity that could affecta spell.

thanks for the help! but i've bottled up all my anger over the past 6 years, but it's not focused at any one thing, so i can focus and everything. it's just there. meditation doesnt seem to get rid of it. that, or i just have more than i think. so i live normally, like i can choose to feel anger.

As mentioned anger works in curses and not much else. I am reminded of the beginning of a movie I like [Practice Magic] Maria was banished to an island, she waited for her lover to come, but he never did. In an act of despair she cast a spell on herself to stop the pain, but as her bitterness grew it became a curse on any man who loved a woman in her bloodline. It's a movie/book but its a good example of how emotions can effect a spell in a bad way.

You should meditate, balance your chakras, look within yourself, and come to peace with your anger, eventually releasing it. I have struggled [and still struggle] with personal issues ranges from mental, physical, and emotional, and all I can say is you need to accept and let it go. It's not easy, but its for the best.

I deal with the same issue. I've found angry energy is pretty powerful in magick, as long as it isn't directed negatively. I try to banish it or cleanse it before I do a ritual though, because I find its hard to actually focus my mind and energy if I'm too pissed to think straight.

i have to agree with chaosxbliss. it is hard to focus but i see emotions relating to elements for example anger=fire......just my personal belief. fire can be used to destroy or to heal and protect just make sure you can think clearly because it can easily become a curse.
