For Public Consumption or Rebuttal:
"Jennifer" is a client who tried to scam me. She would have liked for me to perform numerous lengthy, expensive spells and counsel her on a daily basis free of charge.
I gave her a fair price for what she had done, I documented her work with photos and kept on file all of her e-mails (including many "thank you for the help!", "I got the job, thank you!" plus other such pleased messages.
When she tried to scam me by stealing my hard-earned money through a complaint to PayPal she was rejected because of the
evidence I`d presented. That`s it, in a nutshell.
These days I work in a manner that protects me from such problems. First off, I stay away from spellwork. I have helped more people through spellwork in a professional but non-commercial manner than I have otherwise. My website was open less
than a year but I`ve been a Witch for a lifetime.
The site was created by Denise Alvarado but I closed it when that association didn`t work for either of us.
I wasn`t making much with it & my heart was in other areas, hence my mention of going to school now.
I was also dismayed at how bizarre things had become once strangers and cash entered the picture.
One big reason I didn`t make much money with the site is because I refused the majority of spell requests.
I mean, really-"no, I can`t change the shape of your face"..."no, I can`t erase info from your computer & your boyfriend`s mind", "no, I don`t think it`s a good idea to curse your wife`s mother" & on & on.
I recognized that many people either needed to "get real" or "get a doctor" (one guy begged for a cleansing when, from what he was telling me, it was clear that he had a venereal disease of some sort) .
Denise was encouraging but because my heart is really in other areas, & because I didn`t want to end up reduced to taking advantage of people with big problems, I quit.
Now I do only readings because
1) this can be done 100% honestly, I have many years of divinatory experience & I am an HPS &
2) I work in a protected situation where I am known only by my own "stage name", for various psychic/tarot phone lines. These co.`s charge a fair rate & have been good for helping me with school.
Although I was snarky in another post this is the truth-if you put time in to learning a practice of spirituality & magic you will become able to do whatever it is that you need to.
You do not need to pay other people money for anything, you can even craft most of your own supplies (& the latter will boost the efficacy of your work). Still many don`t want to do this work so they hire others.
Many of these do not comply with instructions they are given, lessening their chances of success.
This was another frustrating problem for me & it`s something all of the practitioners I know complain about.
What happens then? Well, you know what happens-you get irate folks trying to get refunds, complainig "it didn`t work!". No spell is guaranteed, ethical practitioners tell you that.
They should give you a picture of your chances through pre-divination.
Anyway, after "Jennifer`s" PayPal stunt I wanted to get out, it was not long after that I closed the website. On to other things :).
Thank you & Happy New Year,
Sharon
