Well. Dang.

When Jacqui (she bitch from the nether regions of Satans deepest pit) came to inspect our centre and observe some teaching sessions, a bunch of my colleagues decided to try and hexx her heheh. They all wrote her name and an affliction on a slip of paper and put it in their shoe. She did not however fall ill. She did instead inspect us and generally piss us all off with her whining fucking tantrum over insignificant bits of nonsense whilst ignoring all the really good stuff.

Cause hey.....who cares if you teach well, motivate well and care if you've got a box left unticked on a form......

Sorry....this was supposed to be about witchiness and spells wasn't it? and I just went off on one about mindless fucking beaurocrats who exist solely to get in the face of teachers.

Well, what you are talking about is common sense. Its called defining your objective (VERY important) and taking the following steps:

1) Is my goal a realistic one? If so
2) What steps must I take to accomplish it?
3) TAKE THE STEPS, lay the groundwork
4) When the opportunity arises due to the work you have put in Carpe Diem!

A faith in God or gods is not required to accomplish this.

When it comes to spells, my personal belief is what goes around, comes around. If a person treats you badly and, in general, you find that others in your life do NOT treat you badly, then their actions are probably more about them than they are about you. That person is going to go around treating the rest of the world badly, as well. Sooner or later, the world WILL retaliate. Karma always will run over dogma in the end.

I tried it once, but the other guy had two untapped Islands and cast Counterspell as an interrupt.
