Do you know why I don't do reversal spells? Why I don't talk about them, or advocate for them as a form of magic?

You cannot reverse a spell.

You can stop a spell. Hell, you can stop a spell before it actually does anything. You can mitigate the damage. You can nullify it. You can completely stop it from doing anything. You can catch it, turn it back around towards the person who sent it.

You cannot reverse it. You cannot uncast a spell. It doesn't matter even if it's your spell: once it has been cast, it has been cast. The magic occurred, and you cannot go back in time and stop it from occurring. However long, whatever the result, someone still put that spell out into the world and you cannot go back in time and unring that bell. You can't change the intentions of that moment. You cannot unspeak those words. You can extinguish a candle; you cannot unlight it. And like a candle that has been lit, there will always be signs.

People try so hard, so desperately hard, to undo what was done and you just can't. And while you're sitting there exercising the futility of trying to reverse the magic, you lose valuable time in which you have agency. Agency to act, to mitigate, to improve, to maybe even fix. If you throw a ball through a window, don't waste your time trying to unthrow the ball; begin the process of getting the window fixed.

And, in case it isn't clear, I'm only partially talking about magic.

Superstitions!

The following list are some of the superstitions that I’ve heard or learned about over the years, in no particular order: • Throw rice in the air to make it rain • Carry a potato during winter to ward against colds • Smell dill to get rid of hiccups • Lay thorn branches by your doorstep to keep evil away • Place chips of cedarwood in a box with coins do draw money to you • Hang seaweed in the kitchen to ward off evil spirits • Burn allspice to draw money, luck, and healing • Place a piece of cotton in a sugar bowl to draw good luck to your home • Scatter chili flakes around your house to break a curse • Scatter salt/sugar to purify a room • Put a pine branch above your bed to ward off illness • Carry a chunk of dried pineapple to draw luck • Ask an orange a question before you eat it, then count the seeds. Even # = no. Odd # = yes • Toss oats outside your back door to ensure beautiful crops/plants • Place lilacs around the house to rid unwanted spirits • Add salt to bath for purification • Write your sigils on stones and carry them with you • Put sigils on medication bottles to help quicken their efficiency or for added healing benefits • When guests come over, light a white candle by the door; it will take their negative energy and purify the home. • To get rid of guests overstaying their welcome, turn any broom in your house upside down (bristles up) • Toss salt on the front porch every Friday for good luck and prosperity • Carry a blade of grass to increase psychic power • If something or someone is bugging you, write it on toilet paper, wipe, and flush it down the toilet
