SERIOUS SPELLS. REAL RESULTS.
The Truth About Spell Casting
Do you need to be a witch to cast effective love spells?
This is the question I get asked most often: “Do I need to be a witch or have special powers to cast a love spell?” And I understand why people ask because the internet is full of spell tutorials making it seem like anyone with a few candles and good intentions can make magic happen.
After practicing spiritual work for over two decades and training in the ancestral wisdom of Okuganga, I’m going to give you the honest answer that many spell casters won’t share.

Here’s the truth that most people don’t want to hear: effective spell casting requires a natural spiritual gift that you’re born with, not something you can simply learn from a book or YouTube video.
You can follow every step of a ritual perfectly. You can have all the right ingredients. You can say all the correct words. But if you don’t have the ancestral blessing,if the spirits haven’t chosen you for this work,your spells will sit there like dead weight. Nothing moves. Nothing shifts.
This isn't about gatekeeping or making people feel inadequate. It's about honoring the reality of spiritual gifts.
Not everyone is meant to be a surgeon, not everyone is meant to be a musician, and not everyone is meant to be a spell caster. We all have different paths and different gifts.
In my Ugandan lineage, we say: “Okuganga tekuyigirizibwa, kuweerebwa” (Healing power is not taught, it is given). Either the ancestors have blessed you with this gift, or they haven’t.
Before we go further, let’s clarify terminology. When I talk about being a “witch” or having the gift, I’m not talking about:
I’m talking about a genuine spiritual connection—the ability to communicate with ancestral forces, to channel energy effectively, and to make things move in the spiritual realm.
The ancestral gift is a spiritual power passed down through bloodlines, recognized by elders, and cultivated through proper training. It’s the difference between going through the motions of a ritual and actually having the spirits answer your call.
People born with this gift typically experience it from childhood:
I didn't choose to be a spell caster. When I was a child in Uganda, I could see things others couldn't. I knew things I had no way of knowing. My grandmother recognized these signs because she had the same gift, as did her grandmother before her.
She didn't give me the power because it was already there. She taught me how to use what I was born with. That's the crucial difference.
When someone with the ancestral gift casts a spell, they’re not working alone. They’re calling on:
The ingredients are just physical objects until someone with the gift breathes spiritual life into them. The words are just sounds until they’re spoken by someone the ancestors recognize.
This explains why most love spells fail—it’s the number one reason I see people struggling with spell work that goes nowhere.
You’ve probably seen this scenario play out:
Someone buys all the candles, crystals, and herbs. They follow a spell they found online exactly as written. They say all the words, visualize everything perfectly, and wait… and wait… and nothing happens.
Then they come to me frustrated and confused: “I did everything right. Why didn’t it work?”
Because you don’t have the connection. The ancestors are not listening, not because you are a bad person, but because you have not been chosen for this specific work.
When I perform a love spell to bring back someone’s ex, here’s what’s actually happening that you can’t see:
I see several common outcomes when people without the gift attempt serious spell work:
This is why in my article about whether love spells really work, I emphasize that effectiveness depends heavily on who’s doing the casting.
This is where I need to be very honest with you.
You can learn the mechanics. You can study herbalism, astrology, ritual structure, and spiritual traditions. This knowledge is valuable and can support your spiritual growth in many ways.
But you cannot learn the gift itself. That’s the part that must be given—by the ancestors, by the spirits, by whatever divine force you believe in.
Just because you can't cast spells for others doesn't mean you can't have a rich spiritual practice.
Many people without the gift for spell casting have gifts in other areas—healing touch, empathic abilities, artistic creation, teaching, or simply being a grounding presence for others.
Having one or two of these signs doesn't necessarily mean you have the gift. Many people experience occasional intuitive moments or spiritual sensitivity.
The gift typically shows itself as a consistent, undeniable pattern throughout your entire life.
Not having this particular gift doesn’t make you less spiritual or less valuable. You have other gifts so focus on discovering and developing those instead.
This is why practitioners like me exist. When you need serious spiritual work done especially something as delicate as love magic,work with someone who was born into this, trained by elders, and recognized by the ancestors.
You can absolutely have a meaningful spiritual practice without casting spells for major life changes. Focus on:
Understanding that spell work requires genuine spiritual gifts helps you appreciate the depth and complexity of this work. It’s not just “superstition” or “parlor tricks” but a sacred practice requiring years of training and natural ability.

So, do you need to be a witch to cast love spells? Yes—you need to be someone born with the ancestral gift and properly trained in spiritual work.
This doesn’t mean you can’t have a spiritual practice. It doesn’t mean you can’t work with energy or set intentions. But for serious spell work—especially something as complex and delicate as love magic—you need either:
The good news is that you don’t need to struggle alone or waste time on rituals that won’t work. Practitioners who carry genuine spiritual authority exist specifically to help people who need this kind of support.
My grandmother used to say: "Everyone has a gift. Your job is to find yours, not to force yourself into someone else's calling."
If spell casting isn't your gift, that's perfectly fine. There's something else you're meant to do in this world—something only you can offer.
