Out of decades of experience in handling spells of various types. This is to confirm that the statement in the question is very true. Personal beliefs and intentions impact the success of a spell and skepticism truly affects the results, negatively.
To borrow the example of medical/physical treatment, if you got an illness that requires treatment to overcome. And go to hospital or a pharmacy where you duly get medicines you’re supposed to take at home. Here is the thing. The doctor or pharmacist may prescribe and issue you with the right medication. With the correct dosage which, if heeded will help overcome the problem.
Now, if you have doubts about the effectiveness or efficacy of the medicines provided and/or doubt the ability and professionalism of the medical practitioner. Chances are that you will ignore the dosage or the medicine altogether and dump it in the trashcan. We witnessed this often during the Cocid 19 pandemic where people refused professional advice with reckless abandon and ended up losing their lives or having permanent health conditions. Again today, there are skeptics about child vaccination/immunization and opt to keep the little angels away from the vaccines. Which later comes to bite the children when they sometimes get sick from otherwise immunizable diseases.
This translates into exactly how spiritual/spell treatment works. Oftentimes, you as a spell seeker ought to supplement the work of the spiritualist/spellcaster by following his guidelines. There are things you’re supposed to do such as lighting candles properly, reciting spiritual anthem, wear certain spiritual amulets or anklets, apply some herbs, among many others. Here is the gist of the matter. If you have doubts or reservations about the whole exercise or adamantly refuse to follow guidelines as provided, you will not get the desired result just as a patient who refuses to take medication as guided. You will resort to blaming me yet you brought about the failure.
When it comes to intentions, the reason you should seek a spell is either to help yourself, defend someone or yourself. heal from dark forces, get love, make breakthroughs, etc. The intention should not be to punish innocent people. Seek positivity and not punishment unless when you’re revenging. Spiritual forces usually grant wishes of people seeking positivity and may frustrate those who want trouble for others.
In a nutshell, people with positive beliefs, intentions and with no skepticism about the ability of the spell to deliver a positive outcome, stand higher chances of getting what they ask for than those on the other side.
