Its been a good number of years since I last posted or even logged in to this site. Back then I was a dumb kid that was mostly happy. Now? I'm a sad 22 year old. My father passed away late this past January and I've been struggling with it. He was the only constant in my life, the only person in this world that could control me, so-to-speak. With him gone, my life is falling apart. I just need to know if there's a spell or ritual or anything that can bring him back. Even if I have to take his place, at least he would be alive again and my brothers and sisters could be happy again too. I've tried praying to both god and Satan and all other deities I can think of and none of that helped. I need a serious answer. I need to know if this is even possible. Please, I'm begging you all to help me out. I would give literally anything to have my father back, even if I have to take his place among the dead, at least I'd potentially have one last fleeting moment with him.
Thank you for any help you can give. Peace Be With You.
Your father is dead, he can not come back. It was his time to go, he will always be there with you and your family, watching over you. There is no spell that can bring him back from the gave, it's against all laws of nature. Your father don't want you to bring him back, he want you to live happy and live your life to the fullest. He well always watch over you.
I am sorry for your loss. I am no stranger to grief. There are many facets of spirituality that can help you come to terms with what you've been experiencing. Spell casting can aid, but not in the way you think. It would be more beneficial in easing your sorrow, and guiding you to a place of acceptance. I can offer advice in this regard. I have been coping with many losses over the last seven years. If this is something that you feel comfortable with, feel free to message me. Hang in there.
I am also sorry you lost your father, it must be very difficult, but I'm sorry to say also that magic can't bring him back, as hard as it must be to hear, it's better that you know that.
You might find a lot of comfort in creating an ancestor shrine however, a photo of him and perhaps some personal items set aside in it's own space, specifically for you to speak to him and feel close to him. As others have said he will always be around, he is part of the world around you and very much a part of you yourself.
Insofar as spellcasting goes, you may find that spells for comfort and strength and meditation practices that will help you find your centre will be a much better way to go.
Your father was obviously a source of strength and grounding for you (in that he could "control" you as you say), but this is now an opportunity for you to find your own control and confidence in life. You've been thrown in the deep end a little, but every difficulty you face will make you a stronger, better person and give you a core of belief in your own ability to survive.
It's probably important to say that your father is now at peace and would want you to find your peace with that, and keep trucking onwards. You will be fine, you just need time to heal, and it will come.
I thank you all for your words and I apologize for taking so long to reply. Things have been busy lately. Magic, I would appreciate any help you can give. I'm quite out of practice when I comes to magic and meditation. Gracelight, I thank you as well, your words helped me quite a bit. I feel my restless heart is somewhat more at peace even with everything that's going on. I am more angry towards the powers that be more than anything or anyone and I don't quite know how to deal with that. Perhaps its something that will get easier with time. Thank you all once again.
