Out of massive experience in witchcraft, let me tell plain facts of this.
Please note that, Railroad spikes in witchcraft and magic don’t carry any magical or spiritual value. They are simply a symbol encouraged or done by some witches, especially amateurs. To give you something to symbolize that whatever ritual that was done on your behalf was fixed permanently. Just like the railroad spikes ensure stability of the railroad.
Alarmingly, a lot of other stuff are surprisingly done by some witches or asked of the clients to do. Yet they simply add an unnecessary financial and psychological burden onto a client. Who’s already burdened by the challenges that brought them to the witch. As seniors, we keep encouraging the amateurs and fledgling witches to stick to standard practice. As laid out spiritually but some don’t listen.
The bulk of the work in witchcraft is done at the spiritual house or shrine. Where most deities assemble to exercise their power. Little to nothing is done by the person seeking out witchcraft. The spiritual house possesses all the necessary tools to perform witchcraft. The best way it is supposed to be done without adding unnecessary stuff like the railroad spikes.
Important as well, what makes witchcraft tick in addition to powerful forces are herbal or plant ingredients and sometimes animal sacrifice harvested from the woods surrounding the shrine or temple and not railroad stuff which have no witchcraft value.
Every story and every seeker of these services is unique in their own way. It takes a psychic reading to understand the nitty-gritty of every individual case. The tools applicable in one case, may not be exactly the same for another one. There are different combinations of herbs and animal parts for each individual case. Just like in hospital, everyone is assessed in the laboratory to determine the extent of their illness. After which a dosage is determined to help them heal.
Similarly, here in witchcraft, I assess every case on its merits. And I am consequently spiritually guided on how to navigate the path to victory. I have the experience and spiritual guidance to harvest the exact tools, ingredients and/or materials necessary for the spell to succeed.
