Spells?

I just stumbled across this site and thought some of you folks might find it useful. Or a good idea for a lucrative venture.

Sounds a little bit like the places that answer your specific prayers for special favors like healing your ailments or making your relationships work. Except instead of prayers they use spells.

The part where you have to send them money first is remarkably similar, though.

I haven't seen the sites offering prayers for money - though I'm not surprised to hear about them. I think I'm in the wrong line of work.

$265 sounds real bargain, yes?

I was thinking more of those places that you see on cable TV.

But you're right -- putting that on the internet would be pretty lucrative.

I agree. This is nonsense that is equivalent to the other foolishness that people call "religion."

Who wants to bet that Johnny Boy (Mathos) is thinking about ways to save money for these spells?...

Thread reopened.

For those who think this is a serious, Wiccan-related site - tell me where in your religion it says you can make yourself taller with spells.

I suppose some people must pay money for the jingoist talismans on that site.

I once found a book of spells in the local library (free).

I like a "Tree Magic" spell to treat back pain. It involved sitting at the base of the tree with your back resting against the trunk (getting a little massage) and saying a spell (relaxing meditative kind of thing) and then burying something of value at the base of the tree to give thanks to the tree.

I tried it and it did relieve my stiff back.

1-Year Guarantee!... If for some reason your spell does not work after 1-year, we will re-cast your spell at no charge. Unfortunately we can not refund any spell purchases. We use to offer cash refunds in the past but some people took advantage of that offer by getting their spells cast, getting what they wanted then asking for their money back so they would get a free spell casting. The very low rates we charge has caused us to either raise the cost of our spells or stop refunds due to fraudulant purchases.
Of course, they can't spell the word fraudulent, since it isn't in their dictionary.

I don't think I've ever seen a thread closed and then re-opened.
