SERIOUS SPELLS. REAL RESULTS.
The Hidden Dangers
Are love spells dangerous if done the wrong way? Yes – here’s what can happen.
You have found a love spell online that promises to bring back your ex or make someone fall for you. The instructions look simple enough. Light some candles, say some words, visualize the outcome. What could possibly go wrong?
This is the question I wish more people would ask before attempting spell work they do not understand. Because the answer is: quite a lot can go wrong. And when it does, the consequences can be spiritually serious.
After two decades of professional spell work, I have cleaned up spiritual messes created by people who thought spell casting was harmless fun or simple ritual. I have seen the damage that happens when someone without training opens spiritual doors they cannot close, calls on forces they cannot control, or invites energy they never intended to invite.
Yes, love spells are absolutely dangerous when done the wrong way. Not dangerous in the sense of causing physical harm, but dangerous in ways that are spiritually and energetically harmful. Amateur spell work can invite negative entities, create spiritual attachments, cause energetic imbalances, and backfire in ways that harm you and others. This is not a game, and it is not something you should attempt from YouTube tutorials or blog posts.

Let me be completely clear from the beginning: Love spells performed incorrectly or by untrained people can absolutely cause spiritual harm.
But before you panic, understand what I mean by “dangerous.” I am not talking about:
The real dangers are more subtle but no less serious:
These dangers are why real spell work requires genuine spiritual gifts and proper training—not just instructions from the internet.
I need to clarify exactly what kind of danger love spells pose when done incorrectly, because there is a lot of confusion and fear-mongering about this topic.
The danger is real, but it operates in the spiritual and energetic realms—not in the physical world the way most people imagine “danger.”
Spiritual energy is neutral, just like electricity. In skilled hands, it brings light, connection, and healing. In untrained hands, it can cause serious problems. Touching exposed wiring without knowledge can shock or burn you. Spiritual work follows the same principle. Power requires respect, discipline, and experience to be used safely.
The single biggest danger of amateur spell work is this: you can invite spiritual energy or entities that you never intended to call, and once invited, they are difficult to remove.
Let me explain how this happens.
When you perform a spell—any spell—you are not just lighting candles and saying words. Whether you realize it or not, you are:
A trained practitioner knows exactly which forces to call, how to protect themselves, how to create clear boundaries, and how to properly close everything when the work is done. They work within established spiritual frameworks that include built-in protections and guidelines.
An amateur following instructions from the internet does none of this. They are opening spiritual doors without knowing:
Here is what most people do not understand: when you perform spiritual work without proper training and protection, you are essentially putting out a spiritual “call” that anyone or anything can respond to.
It is like shouting into a dark forest and hoping the right animal answers. Except in this case, you might get:
Trained practitioners work within specific spiritual traditions that have protocols for exactly which ancestors, spirits, or forces to call upon—and these forces recognize the practitioner’s authority and training. Random people on the internet have no such protection or authority.
Let me detail exactly what can happen when love spells are done incorrectly:
What it is: Negative entities or energy attach to you after you open spiritual doors during amateur spell work.
How it manifests:
Why it happens: You opened spiritual pathways without protection, and something came through that should not have. Now it is attached and feeding off your energy.
What it is: The spell work drains your personal energy instead of drawing on proper spiritual sources.
How it manifests:
Why it happens: Without proper training, people often use their own life force to power spell work instead of channeling spiritual energy correctly. This is spiritually damaging and exhausting.
What it is: The spell produces the opposite of the intended effect or creates new problems.
How it manifests:
Why it happens: Amateur spell work often violates spiritual laws around free will and natural flow. The spiritual realm “corrects” this violation by pushing back against the spell, making things worse.
What it is: You open spiritual channels during the spell but do not know how to close them properly.
How it manifests:
Why it happens: Trained practitioners know proper closure procedures. Amateurs do not, leaving themselves perpetually “open” and vulnerable.
What it is: Spell work creates spiritual debt or imbalance that must be addressed.
How it manifests:
Why it happens: Working against spiritual laws or violating free will creates karmic debt. The universe balances itself, and you experience the rebalancing.
What it is: The spell takes on a life of its own in ways you never intended.
How it manifests:
Why it happens: Without proper training, you cannot control or direct spiritual energy. It goes where it wants, not necessarily where you intended.
These consequences are not rare edge cases. They happen regularly to people who attempt spell work without training. I see these problems multiple times per month from people seeking help to undo the damage they caused trying DIY spells. This is why most love spells fail, and when they do not simply fail, they sometimes cause harm instead.
DIY spell work—the kind you find in blogs, books for beginners, YouTube videos, and TikTok tutorials—is especially dangerous because it combines several risk factors:
The person performing the spell has no recognized spiritual authority or training. They are trying to command forces that have no reason to listen to them or obey them. This is like a child putting on a police uniform and trying to arrest someone—the authority is not real, and attempting to use it can create problems.
DIY instructions rarely include proper spiritual protection protocols. You are leaving yourself completely exposed to whatever responds to your spiritual “call.” Professional practitioners create layers of protection before beginning any work.
Most DIY spell instructions online are either:
Following this kind of information is like trying to perform surgery from a blog post—dangerous no matter how carefully you follow the instructions.
Professional spell casters work with ancestral spirits and forces that know them, recognize their training, and provide oversight and protection. DIY practitioners have none of this. They are working alone, without guidance, without backup, without protection.
When things go wrong (and they often do), DIY practitioners have no idea how to fix it. Professional practitioners know how to handle problems, correct course, and undo damage. Amateurs are left floundering with spiritual problems they cannot solve.
A love spell cast with proper ancestral power works in several specific ways:
If you have already attempted spell work and you are wondering if something went wrong, here are the warning signs to watch for:
If you recognize multiple warning signs from this list, you likely have spiritual damage from spell work that needs to be professionally cleaned up.
If you recognize multiple warning signs from this list, you likely have spiritual damage from spell work that needs to be professionally cleaned up.
Professional work includes multiple layers of spiritual protection:
These protections are built through training and maintained through ancestral relationships. They are not optional add-ons—they are essential parts of safe practice.
Professional practitioners work within specific spiritual traditions that have developed safe practices over generations. These traditions include:
This accumulated wisdom protects both the practitioner and the client.
When I perform spell work, I am not working alone. My ancestors—generations of spiritual workers in my family line—provide guidance, oversight, and protection. They help me:
This ancestral backing is not something DIY practitioners have access to. They are genuinely working alone, without guidance or protection.
Every piece of spiritual work has a proper beginning and ending. Professional practitioners know:
Amateur practitioners usually do none of this properly, leaving themselves and their clients exposed.
Trained practitioners understand spiritual laws around free will, consent, and natural order. We know:
Working ethically within these boundaries actually makes the spell work more effective while keeping everyone safe.
Since spiritual protection is so critical, let me detail what this actually involves in professional practice:
None of this is present in DIY spell work, which is why it is so spiritually risky.
If you have already attempted spell work and you believe something went wrong, here is what you should do:
Do not attempt to “fix” the problem with more amateur spell work. This almost always makes things worse. Stop all spiritual practices beyond basic prayer or meditation until you can get professional help.
Write down:
This information helps a professional practitioner assess the damage and know how to fix it.
While waiting to get professional help, do basic cleansing:
These basic steps will not fix spiritual damage but can reduce symptoms while you seek proper help.
Contact a legitimate spiritual caster who can:
Professional cleansing is not usually complicated or expensive, but it is necessary when amateur spell work has caused problems.
Use this as a learning experience about the reality of spiritual work. Understand that:
A young man attempted a love spell from TikTok to make his crush notice him. Within days he felt constantly watched, had nightmares every night, and experienced an oppressive heaviness he could not shake. He tried multiple times to “undo” the spell himself, which only made the symptoms worse.
When he came to me, I assessed that he had invited low-level negative energy that attached during his spell work. I performed a three-session cleansing that removed the attachment, closed spiritual doors, and restored his energy field. Within a week of completing the cleansing, all symptoms stopped. He learned a valuable lesson about the reality of spiritual work and now knows to never attempt DIY spells again.
If you need love spell work done but want to avoid the spiritual dangers, here is how to stay safe:
The safest approach is hiring someone with:
Use these guidelines to identify legitimate practitioners and avoid frauds.
If you cannot afford professional help or cannot find a legitimate practitioner, do not do spell work at all. The risks outweigh potential benefits when you are working without proper training and protection.
Can love spells be dangerous if done the wrong way?
Yes. Absolutely. Without question.
Not physically dangerous in the way horror movies portray, but spiritually dangerous in real, significant ways that can affect your wellbeing, your energy, your relationships, and your life.
The danger comes from inviting spiritual forces without proper training, protection, or authority. It comes from opening doors you cannot close. It comes from working with power you do not understand.
This is why real spell work requires genuine spiritual gifts, proper training, ancestral backing, and ethical practice. This is why legitimate spell casters spend years learning their craft—not to gatekeep, but because the work genuinely requires knowledge and power that cannot be gained from internet tutorials.
If you need spell work done, invest in professional help from someone who knows how to work safely. If you cannot afford that, do not do the work at all. Your spiritual wellbeing is worth protecting.
