Find out what someone is thinking of you Spell
This spell can be used if you want answers from a specific person due to and issue you are having or if you want to find out what this person thinks of you.
What you’ll need:
- paper
- pen
- candle (any sort preferably white)Method:
- light candle and write the FULL name of the person you want to find out about
- fold that paper in half then in half again
- draw an eye on the outside of the paper then place it under your pillow
- blow out candle and go to bed and just before you sleep chant once
“with dreamers eyes I seek to see, what this person thinks of me, be it good or be it ill, reveal to me as is my will.”
- then when dozing off picture a crowed room with the person sitting the opposite side of the room too you, imagine the room buzzing with gossip and all rumours about you, then start to slowly walk closer to the person until you fall completely asleep.Happy enchanting 🖤✨
