I think you’re just noticing that love magick is like this - it’s really hard to do and getting do-do results is actually a huge win.
Going with general attraction and not targeting a specific person helps a lot.
When targeting others, it’s often neglected that the target is also a creator being, with thier own free will, and as the love magick is technically a psychic attack they have the high ground to defend themselves. If they sense it on ay level it cam make them see you as a dangerous person and they can run.
It can go in the other direction and get backlash where the operator just gets the effect blown back to them and they get obsessed and more miserable. It can also work too well and in rare cases send the target mad. Adding “if it be his/her will” avoid this for the most part.
So that’s a crude rundown of what can happen. if you browse this category you will see the posts and what people say. Bearing in mind they tend to post when it’s not working or when they just started and there’s a skew towards failures, but there are some successes in the success threads.
