    Hello witches of reddit! Note that starting Sunday I’ll be somewhere that forbids technology, so I won’t be able to read any posts until I get back.

    Now onto the scenario: My little sister’s softball game. Their whole team could use some practice, and it’s pretty hard to watch. Eventually, I get the idea to use witchcraft in their favor. I was just really tired of watching them lose so hard. So with a bit of editing, I whispered my first spell. Before I tell you the spell, please keep in mind that I’m a baby witch and this was made on the spot.

    *Gods and goddesses, let the win be*

    *This is my will, so mote it be.*

    I made it up based on spells I had heard before. And I said many times to myself, as I attempted to remember what I needed to make a spell work. As far as I know, some of what makes a spell work is intention, belief, and focus. I watched the game as I kept saying the spell and…

    One of the kids on our team caught the ball! All the kids were around 9 years old, so that was pretty impressive. I started to question if I had actually did the witchcraft, so I kept saying the spell to myself. We got two outs before something happened.

    This might be a bit of a stretch, but while the game was going on a butterfly came. It was noticed and mentioned by people, but nothing too big happened. After that, my spell stopped working for a bit. I think I managed to get it working again, but overall that was a bit strange. In the end, we still lost pretty hard, but I am considering working on more spells to help their team.

    So what do you think? Am I going crazy? Did I really create a working spell? If so, could I enhance it so our team would win? And was there more to that butterfly?

    This is so cute and wholesome I love it. I have an idea for possibly making the spell more powerful. A big part of softball for me growing up was game day chants, maybe if you worked a spell into a game day chant melody it might feel more attached to the game. Something like,

    See that batter at the plate,
    She’s the best in all the state,
    She’s got spirit, she’s got pride,
    Lucky us, she’s on our side,
    Let the bat crack that ball,
    Let her run the bases all,
    Gods and goddesses, let the win be,
    This is my will, so mote it be

    Maybe it’s silly, but I feel like that might give it more power.

    I’m not gonna tell you if the spell actually worked or not as I’m also a baby witch and it’s kinda hard to tell based on the post, but I do think there’s something to be done here.

    If you’re an artist, you can come up with a sigil of good luck and skill for the team and draw it on their hands as a “logo” (with the parents’ permission of course, I know some parents are very anal about their kids being drawn on). You could use henna, which is a natural dye that lasts a few weeks and it doesn’t leak any toxins into the skin like some inks do.

    One thing I would recommend against doing though is giving your sister any form of pouch or physical spell items. She’s still very young and I doubt she could be trusted not to show off to everybody the “cool pouch full of cool things” her sibling gave her, which would release the magick and have little to no effect at that point. That and if you have any spiritual folk in the audience and they see the pouch, they could reasonably say that your sister’s team is cheating (very unlikely, but hey, you never know)
