I cast a few (powerful) love spells on (and even bought some spells for) a specific person. This was about a month ago. Since then, I have been seeing what I like to think of as "signs." The target's name, similar car, and other things that remind me of them. The frequency of these signs increased on days such as the new moon and the recent full moon.
Another thing that's been happening is increased feelings for this person. When I first started to do love spell work on this person, I was able to push them out of my mind with ease. I could easily go on with my life and not think about them or the love spell that was cast. I would wake up maybe once a week thinking of them. This increased in frequency after about 3 weeks. Now, I wake up everyday thinking of them.
My question is: Is this all normal? Did my spell backfire onto me? Or is this a placebo effect from the spell work? How do I know if it is working?
Judging by what you have described it does sound like your spell is manifesting. Regarding the moon phases, the new moon is good for new beginnings, new starts, new projects, and even new lovers, there's some more about the new moon but I don't think I need to mention that as it's not really on topic with the question. Now for the full moon, it's pretty much good for all spells, spells for peace, love, emotional healing, etc. are common spells to be performed during the full moon, but really any spell cast during the full moon receives a sort of energy boost, or an added kick to it. I'd recommend you don't doubt the spell by calling it a placebo as doubt kills the spell, have faith in it. I'd also like to hear about these powerful spells of yours? Did you write them yourself? Because spells are more effective when you write them yourself as they have your intentions in mind. In my own experience this would be perfectly normal for a "think of me spell" And if I may ask, when you cast a love spell why did you choose this specific person? I mean, he/she may not be the right person for you. I know before I said that the spell is working but I don't know if it's working the way you wanted it to because you haven't said what kind of spell it was. Have you spoken with the person you cast the spell on to see how they are acting?
Most of the spells that I cast were edited versions of ones I found on different forums. Some spells had ingredients that would be hard for me to obtain so I substituted them for something easier. Some spells were impossible for me to cast as they required contact with the person. Forgive me, as I dont want to say exactly what I did as I heard that affects spells but I did pretty much all of the major love spell categories. I cast a call me spell today. Earlier in the month I cast think of me, obsession, and binding spells. I also worked with one of the Goetia.
I chose this specific person because they are my ex and I want to try again with them. I havent been in contact with them because I heard that spells will work slower or even cease to work if you contact the person. I could text them if needed but Id prefer if they came to me first.
in my personal experiences, the most successful i have been with love spells have involved doing my own thing, as the other person said. however! it would always go a long with be careful with what you wish for. because they are now exes that i am lucky to have finally been rid of. characteristics can come out later. with ex's too! that's been the case twice for me, over the years. also, in lesser spells, when i was doing a love candle or something and i had a specific person on my mind, instead of getting with the person, what would come up is events in my life or details being revealed letting me know i shouldn't desire that person after all. that has been my recent experiences, and they are much better than the other ones. that's just my two cents :D i am focusing on doing rituals that better myself, self love, and inviting all love (including healthy romantic love) and i tread very carefully. also, unblocking and abundance.
I would suggest a warning: Beware obsession. Continuing to think of the working, hoping everything positive might be a sign, might lead into an unwanted direction.
