Even if I could learn a lot about the person they would still have been a stranger in life and could be very unpredictable. And given my inexperience with this particular form of magic I think I'll stick with deceased loved ones. Thanks for your insight.Livia Indicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03887285470232118424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840675783202771026.post-10703571209797336462009-01-15T16:07:00.000-06:002009-01-15T16:07:00.000-06:00You don't know me from Eve (so to speak) So for wh...You don't know me from Eve (so to speak) So for what a stranger's advice is worth...

If I decide on using graveyard dirt it'll be hers or a pets.

Grandma magick is some powerful juju, because in my experience, those gals don't mess around. They've got all that mama magick in there, but then there's the protective older woman who knows all the good stuff, especially once they've crossed over.<BR/><BR/>One old method on summoning up these folks is to actually bang on the ground with the flat of your hand in a kind of wake-up call.<BR/><BR/>Do you work with the Fae regularly? That could be another route to go.Greg Fletcher-Marzullohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16032001927039495508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840675783202771026.post-20622515187175347862009-01-08T07:40:00.000-06:002009-01-08T07:40:00.000-06:00Griffin, I'm a witch dude!

And I'm not gonna dig up a grave. If I do choose to employ graveyard dirt, and I haven't made a firm decision yet, I'll only take a teeny tiny bit, not even a handful.Livia Indicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03887285470232118424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840675783202771026.post-62229811740003369662009-01-08T07:04:00.000-06:002009-01-08T07:04:00.000-06:00Well if you really want to get this person out of ...Well if you really want to get this person out of your life, I would suggest a less arcane way.<BR/><BR/>A good stout pair of boots, a frying pan (solid bottomed for preference) and a little Scorpio sneakiness. First, while said person is asleep, take the house keys off of them. Next morning, chase 'em from the house hollerin' fit to bust and brandishing said frying pan. If they pause, a boot up the Londonderry (as in London Derry Air ;) ) usually helps.<BR/><BR/>This way you have fun, it's cathartic and you won't have to dig up a grave.Griffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03863034333159354009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840675783202771026.post-57580616090545595702009-01-08T06:13:00.000-06:002009-01-08T06:13:00.000-06:00Brian, I'm interested to see how it turns out too....Brian, I'm interested to see how it turns out too.

I'm not sure I reacted the "usual" way but I would probably try it again. Yeah, the "Indica" is kinda obvious...to some people anyway.
