Do love spells actually work?
Because I recently lost my lover, today actually and I'm wanting to cast a spell to bring him back. But I'm not wanting to try anything until I know it will 100% work as I don't want it to back fire I just want him to come back and apologise and to never leave me again.
I agree 100% with the post above but he did it by his choice, if he left you then he obviously wasn't made for you. When you find the right one you will be very thankful you didn't do a love spell on him although, there are certain spells that can help with love, just not directly. You can open a pathway and let your future lover walk to you invite friends into your life and get help from that, you should not have to use a spell in this situation if he let you go then it's time to move on. I recently was thinking about doing a revenge spell on an old friend for hurting me very badly and I do not believe it was "my fault" it happened. I just believe it was time for me to move on and not live in the past anymore. Your situation can be like that if you just move forward.
It's entirely possible that you could do one and it would bring him back, but if it went against his free will then he wouldn't be happy with you and it could turn ugly or he could just leave again. It could also just not work.
Maybe if you're stuck on this guy go for more mundane fixes. Give him space and later, if he's up for it, talk. See how that turns out and where it goes from there.
Love spells can work. Notice that I said can. With magick I do not think anything is really guranteed. There are so many factors and things to take into account for why something might not have worked. Sometimes it simply does not work the way you wanted it to. A lot of times it does not work instantly. Some will argue it is morally wrong because of free will and karma. Others will tell you you literally can't because of free will.
I choose to believe you can attract love but not force it. Think of it this way. If you do a money spell then your mom offers you money for yard work and you tell her no. Your boss offers you extra hours at work and you deny him. The money spell worked, it brought you the oppertunities, you just didn't take them. This example is meant to demonstrate attracting money.
Apply the same principal to love. You do a love working, you go to places to meet men/women you get hit on, boom new lover. It doesn't work if you stay stuck in your house. Magick is explained as the subtle manupilation of energy. An aid or push which still requires you to do your part. I have done a love working myself and have a husband to show for it. However, some will believe in it, some will not. Some will believe in it yet find it immoral for one reason or another.
Many practitioners advise against doing love spells that are directed
towards any specific person. You are encouraged to perform spells to attract
love in general, and allow the universe to bring the right person to you, rather
than attempting to manipulate a persons will. There is a general consensus
that the best times to do love drawing spells is on Thursdays and Sundays
when the moon is waxing or full.
will a love spell 100% work? no. there are too many variables for any spell to work 100% of the time. love spells do indeed work, but there are many reasons why the may not [or they do but they don't last] what you are asking is to cast over a specific person who [for whatever reason] has left you. he might still have feelings for you and a love spell would manipulate said feelings making him return, but it would not be permanent because his free will would still be there, and if you don't solve the reason why he left in the first place [could be a flaw you can work on, could be he's fallen out of love. again, many options] you're doomed to repeat history and break up. [also, some believe that if a person discovers you cast a love spell on them, they will hate you and no love spell will change that. so there's that risk too]
if i were you i would try a honey jar [since you mentioned how you wish to apologize] and give him space. keep an eye on the situation but don't rush in a beg him to come back. when the time feels right, casually bring it up, say your sorry, and try for a second change. if it's still a no [as hard as it is] accept it and move on.
a spell won't work unless you have belief in it. so saying that you won't try anything unless you know it will work is redundant. love spells are rape if you decide to sleep with them and i'm guessing you probably will.
