Why do spells backfire?

Why do some spells, especially curses backfire? Who makes all these, the Gods? Is there any way to avoid a backfire, and when does it happen?

Difficult to explain to a young boy. It is the age-old concept that everything has to be paid for.
"You will reap what you sow".
"What goes around, comes around!"
"If you spread goodness, goodness will come to you. If you spread evil, evil will come to you."
A spell is a request; so be very careful what you ask for. You might get it!
"If you curse; you will be cursed."

Just like brysing says. It is basically karma. if you do good things, good things will come to you. If you do bad things, youll have to pay the price sooner or later. Try to keep your practices as pure as possible. Though, i am not stopping you from demonology or hexes and curses and stuff. Just be safe.

Ioakeim, not all witches believe in karma and it wont come back at you if you dont believe so

Yes it does backfire. Even if you Dont believe in karma or not Even if you are a witch or not!

I believe every spell that is cast backfires at a person in some degree.

I wouldn't call it backfiring necessarily, if you're making a request, generally there must be some form of repayment (payment) for the request. Take an overall look at your request, was it fulfilled in the end? If so then the negative consequences may be part of the repayment. If the request never happened and just fell apart, then I would suggest the spell or request was not done right, or what you are asking goes against the will of nature.

I believe that this is tied into nature and the flow and connection to the earth and her elements, however it really depends on your beliefs and whom you honor and request favors to.

Hope this helps!

It all comes down to your own willpower, and portraying your exact intentions.

Doubt and impaired judgement, will always lead to a harsh punishment for your ignorance.
