By Amira Asmodea - Practicing Witch & Magical Consultant
Well now, dearies, gather 'round this old witch's cauldron and let me share some wisdom that's taken me eight decades to accumulate. I've been practicing the ancient arts of witchcraft, hechicería, voodoo magic, and both dark magic rituals and white magic healing spells since before most of you were even a twinkle in your parents' eyes. And let me tell you something that might chill you to the bone - there are aspects of witchcraft that even the most well-intentioned practitioners don't fully comprehend until it's too late.
Just the other day, I was reminded of this truth when a simple voodoo doll creation went terribly awry in my cottage. What started as innocent magical experimentation turned into something that affected an entire town in ways I never anticipated. This experience, combined with my decades of practicing dangerous witchcraft techniques, has compelled me to share these five disturbing truths about the craft that every beginner witch should understand before they light their first candle or mix their first potion.
1. Uncontrolled Magic Can Have Permanent Consequences on Innocent People
The most disturbing thing about witchcraft for beginners to understand is that magic doesn't always behave the way you expect it to - and when it goes wrong, it can permanently alter the lives of people who never consented to magical interference.
Let me share what happened just recently in my own practice. I was crafting what I thought would be a harmless voodoo doll representation of our local storyteller - just for a bit of whimsical entertainment, mind you. But when a mischievous squirrel knocked over my jar of magical dust and I accidentally pricked my finger on the doll's pin, something unexpected occurred that I couldn't reverse.
The poor man began exhibiting exaggerated storytelling abilities that were so intense, he couldn't control them. While it turned out to bring joy to our community, imagine if the magic had manifested differently. What if instead of enhanced charisma, he'd developed an inability to speak? What if the magical energy had caused him pain or distress? These are the real dangers of practicing witchcraft without proper preparation and understanding.
My advice for safe magical practice: Never perform spells affecting specific individuals without their explicit consent. Always include protective circles and reversal clauses in your magical workings. Start with self-directed magic before attempting to influence others, and keep detailed journals of every spell you cast so you can identify patterns if something goes wrong.
2. Dark Magic Attracts Dangerous Spiritual Entities That May Never Leave
The second disturbing truth about witchcraft that keeps me up at night is the reality of what happens when you dabble in dark magic rituals without proper spiritual protection. After 80 years of magical practice, I can tell you with absolute certainty that some entities are drawn to magical energy like moths to flame - and once they've attached themselves to your magical workings, removing them can be nearly impossible.
I've seen beginning witches attempt black magic spells for revenge, love manipulation, or financial gain, only to find themselves plagued by nightmares, unexplained illnesses, and a series of unfortunate events that seem to follow them everywhere. These aren't coincidences, dear ones - they're the consequences of making magical bargains with forces they didn't understand.
During my early years practicing voodoo magic techniques, I once attempted to call upon a spirit for assistance without proper offerings or protections. What I got instead was a malevolent entity that took three years and the help of two other experienced witches to banish. It whispered terrible things in my dreams, moved objects in my home, and even began affecting my neighbors' pets. The experience taught me that in witchcraft, respect for the spiritual realm isn't just polite - it's essential for survival.
Protective measures every witch needs: Establish strong spiritual boundaries through regular cleansing rituals, maintain relationships with protective deities or spirit guides, never attempt summoning without proper circles and banishing knowledge, and always research the historical and cultural context of any magical tradition you're exploring.
3. Generational Curses and Magical Bloodlines Can Trap Your Descendants
Perhaps the most chilling aspect of dangerous witchcraft techniques is how certain magical workings can bind not just you, but your children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren to supernatural contracts they never agreed to. This is something most modern witches never consider when they're focusing on manifestation spells or healing magic for beginners.
In my family lineage, we've dealt with what some might call a generational magical burden for over 200 years. My great-great-grandmother made a pact during desperate times, trading her family's magical sensitivity for protection during a terrible plague. While it saved her village, it also meant that every woman in our bloodline would be born with the ability to see spirits, communicate with the dead, and attract supernatural attention whether we wanted it or not.
I've spent decades learning how to manage this inherited magical sensitivity, but I've watched cousins lose their minds to visions they couldn't control, and others become so overwhelmed by spiritual communications that they couldn't maintain normal relationships or careers. When you practice witchcraft, especially when working with ancient traditions like hechicería or voodoo magic, you're potentially setting energetic patterns that could affect generations of your family.
Considerations for protecting your bloodline: Research your family's magical history if possible, include specific time limits and generational boundaries in any major magical workings, regularly perform ancestral healing rituals to clear inherited magical debris, and teach your children about magical protection even if they don't plan to practice the craft themselves.
4. Witchcraft Can Become a Dangerous Addiction That Isolates You From Reality
The fourth disturbing truth about practicing witchcraft is one that many experienced practitioners are reluctant to discuss: magic can become psychologically addictive in ways that separate you from normal human relationships and rational decision-making processes.
I've observed this pattern countless times over my 80 years of magical practice. It typically begins innocently enough - a person discovers they have natural magical abilities or finds success with manifestation spells and healing magic. They experience the intoxicating feeling of being able to influence reality through will and ritual. But gradually, they begin to see every life challenge as something that requires a magical solution rather than practical action.
I knew a fellow practitioner who became so dependent on divination that she couldn't make any decision - from what to wear to whether to accept a job offer - without consulting her tarot cards, tea leaves, and crystal ball. She eventually lost her marriage, her career, and most of her friendships because she insisted on magical explanations for every relationship conflict and refused to engage with people who didn't share her supernatural worldview.
The isolation becomes self-reinforcing. As you spend more time focused on magical practice and less time developing normal social skills and practical problem-solving abilities, the mundane world begins to feel foreign and uncomfortable. Magic becomes your primary coping mechanism, which can prevent the personal growth that comes from facing life's challenges directly.
Maintaining healthy balance: Set specific times for magical practice rather than using it as constant escapism, maintain friendships with non-practitioners who can offer different perspectives, develop practical skills alongside your magical abilities, and regularly evaluate whether your magical practice is enhancing your life or replacing it.
5. Some Magical Knowledge Comes With Moral Burdens That Will Haunt You Forever
The final and perhaps most disturbing aspect of advanced witchcraft practice is the realization that some magical knowledge carries moral weight that will follow you for the rest of your life. Once you truly understand certain dark magic rituals, curse techniques, or methods for manipulating free will, you can never unknow them - and the temptation to use that knowledge during difficult times can be overwhelming.
After eight decades of studying both white magic healing spells and the darker aspects of magical practice, I carry the knowledge of how to cause devastating harm to people who have wronged me or my loved ones. I know curses that could destroy someone's health, ruin their relationships, or bring financial catastrophe to their families. This knowledge sits in my mind like a loaded weapon that I must constantly choose not to use.
The moral burden becomes particularly heavy during times of genuine injustice or when someone you love is suffering. When my granddaughter was being bullied at school and the authorities wouldn't intervene effectively, I spent weeks fighting the urge to use magical means to teach those children's families a lesson they'd never forget. The power was at my fingertips, but using it would have crossed ethical lines that would have fundamentally changed who I am as a person.
This is why many advanced practitioners become increasingly isolated as they age. We carry secrets and capabilities that we can never fully share, even with other witches, because some knowledge is simply too dangerous to spread casually.
Ethical considerations for advancing practitioners: Develop a clear personal code of magical ethics before you need it, find trusted mentors who can help you navigate moral dilemmas, regularly examine your motivations for learning new techniques, and remember that choosing not to use your power is often the greatest expression of wisdom.
A Personal Warning From an 80-Year-Old Witch
Now, dearies, I don't share these disturbing truths about witchcraft to frighten you away from the craft entirely. Magic has brought tremendous healing, wisdom, and joy into my life and the lives of countless others. But I've also seen too many beginning witches rush headlong into dangerous practices because they were seduced by the power and mystery without understanding the very real risks involved.
The story I shared about my accidental voodoo doll incident might seem amusing on the surface, but it represents the tip of the iceberg when it comes to uncontrolled magical consequences. If you're drawn to practicing witchcraft, hechicería, voodoo magic, or any form of supernatural arts, please approach your studies with the respect and caution they deserve.
Essential Advice for Beginning Witches and Those Curious About Dark Magic
If you're just starting your journey into witchcraft or considering exploring dangerous witchcraft techniques, here's my practical advice based on 80 years of magical experience:
Start with protection and purification: Before you cast your first spell, learn multiple methods for spiritual cleansing, protective circle casting, and banishing unwanted energies. Master these fundamentals before moving on to more complex magical workings.
Study the history and cultural context: Don't appropriate magical traditions from cultures you don't understand. Research the historical background of any practice you're considering, and approach traditions like voodoo magic, hechicería, or indigenous shamanic practices with proper respect and, when possible, guidance from practitioners within those communities.
Keep detailed magical records: Document every spell, ritual, and magical experience in a dedicated grimoire or book of shadows. Include dates, moon phases, ingredients used, intended outcomes, and actual results. This record-keeping will help you identify patterns and troubleshoot when things go wrong.
Develop mundane skills alongside magical ones: Magic should enhance your life, not replace practical problem-solving abilities. Maintain your education, career development, and social relationships even as you deepen your magical practice.
Find experienced mentors: Seek out practitioners who have been working with magic for decades, not just years. Look for teachers who emphasize safety, ethics, and balance rather than those who promise quick power or guaranteed results.
Start with self-directed magic: Before attempting spells that affect other people, spend at least a year working exclusively on magic directed toward yourself - healing magic for your own ailments, manifestation spells for your personal goals, and protection rituals for your own wellbeing.
The Continuing Journey of Magical Discovery
After 80 years of practicing various forms of witchcraft, I can tell you that the learning never ends. Every day brings new insights, challenges, and opportunities to deepen my understanding of the magical arts. The disturbing aspects I've shared with you today are balanced by countless beautiful, healing, and transformative experiences that have enriched not only my life but the lives of everyone in my community.
The key is approaching magical practice with wisdom, respect, and humility. Magic is not a game or a quick fix for life's problems - it's a sacred practice that connects us to forces larger than ourselves and carries real responsibilities toward both the seen and unseen worlds.

Continue Your Magical Education Safely
The world of witchcraft, voodoo magic, hechicería, and supernatural arts is vast and endlessly fascinating. While I've shared some of the more disturbing aspects that beginning practitioners should be aware of, there's so much more to explore and discover.
I encourage you to continue researching these topics, but please do so safely and responsibly. Read books by experienced practitioners, join reputable magical communities (both online and in person when possible), and never hesitate to ask questions when you're uncertain about the safety or ethics of a particular practice.
