Writing or modifying spells

[WinterRea]

Hi
I am a new member so I hope it's ok to ask this question here. I've been reading through some of the different spells listed here and about writing your own spell and I find myself with some question and needing a bit of advice if that's ok. Im wanting to do banishing or protection spell agaisnt a troublesome neighboor. A couple of spells I've read would work really good in this situation expect that I live in an apartment complex so I have to be careful as to what I do as to not draw attention to myself. Is it ok to modify a particular spell or rewrite will it work just as effectively. Thank you in advance.

Yes

Thank you

Absolutely! Let us know how you go.

Yes, and modifying makes it your own and thus more effective for you.

I don't think I've ever done a spell as is. I always modify it at least a little either to work with what I have or to make it feel right for me.

Thank you everyone for the advice I was a little nervous about changing anything. I haven't tried any yet as I need to get some candles which I plan on doing so this week. I will reply what the outcome. Thanks again.

Yes, you are more than able to write/create your own spells. Modifying spells written by others is also an option. However, I do advise you to stick to your correspondences and research supplies based on what it is you're trying to do.

For example, using a herb for sex magic would not be very useful when trying to craft a spell for deep, restful sleep. Sometimes you can change things and throw a kink into the mix, so you have to be careful to stay focused on the desired outcome. It's a little like baking a cake: you want to use the ingredients that are going to help you make the best cake; you wouldn't want to use bread flour, or mayonnaise instead of cake icing.
