SpellsOfMagic

This website says it is to be a site to help witches and pagans but they cannot even spell "Magic" in their website name correctly.

The site is a total sham with a bunch of moderators tossing their weight about. The second you even remotely question something, they lock your account. And I do mean INSTANTLY. And you are never told why. And being locked out, you cannot even talk to anyone at the site. It's like facebook on coffee with some vendetta. I was still able to look about the site, just not do anything. All I saw was a bunch of spells that looks it came from Disney cartoons and vampire movies. I mean seriously: They have people posting spells like "How to turn yourself into a mermaid." "Grow vampire teeth" and "Grow a real live money tree you can harvest cash from daily." BUT they swear that there are real pagans and witches there as moderators. Yeah, a real witch or pagan would not go near that sham of a site.

All-in-all I was in the site 1 hour before I was locked. And that happen when I was asking someone if there were any REAL pagan and witch articles to be had here. "Big Brother was listening in apparently." And after that I surfed about maybe an hour more, just to find nothing but Disney spells and Pokemon rituals. It's all a total farce. Oh and within that first hour I was badgered by 3-4 people asking me to cast love spells for them. It was like I was the prey surrounded by bunch of starved tigers. I am not sure if they were the moderators, looking to test out who I was or just a bunch of seeding lurkers. One had a picture of a child on his profile. Creepy. In total I think that site is more of a breeding ground for pedofiles and porn geeks.

Yes some of the spells dont work. But most of your bad comments on it are focused on the fact that it is offending you being a real witch. But you need to understand that some of the members etc are also witches and don't believe in the spells that dont work. Personally i only use realistic summoning spells and not some bull$#*! "oh this potion will make you immortal", cuz thats plain out wrong. So dont hate on a website for some people, just do a real critic overview on the website and understand that there are spells that do work and its not all fake.

Spells Of Magic is a website that caters to those who believe in magic. This would include all manner of witches, warlocks, mermaids and other magical beings and creatures. Only after you join do you realize, as several other reviewers have, that the site is dominated by childish and arrogant moderators who are threatened by those who are more articulate and intelligent than they - which is to say, almost everyone. As an example, the moderator NordStar banned Dolphina, well known in San Diego as a mermaid that has taken refuge in the La Jolla cove, from participating, accusing her of "role playing." What? He no doubt fails to see the irony of banning anyone with creativity and imagination from a website devoted to magic. Furthermore, when you read this moderator's bio, it specifically states that being nonjudgmental is part of his credo, demonstrating a failure to recognize the irony inherent in his own hypocrisy. This website would be vastly improved by requiring some kind of vetting process designed to weed out brain dead, basement-dwelling twits from becoming moderators. In short, you are better of to go to one of the other websites - one run by real spiritualists, not frauds and imposters.

So I used this site as a teenager (12/14) and remember that I had a lot of fun with it. But that was just it, just a place to play pretend with other people. Nowadays it is empty with just teenagers looking for love spells and such. Even using my old account on there I was emailed by a few people asking if I want to cast a spell for them.

To be honest I am just a pagan and the spells they have there do not really interest me. Just remember that spells there are not reviewed so any user can post whatever they want which does ruin the rep of the whole site. Even the site owner has posted some spells that I do not really agree with like how to grow your breast.

For the mods there, the majority of them left or don't even do their job. Only one mod is active at all times Lark, most likely she doesn't have a whole lot going on in her life and this old site is the only thing left.

The users. There are still some old users. One person just talks big but doesn't really help. Another tries to help but I don't think she found another place to call home since she has been on there for over ten years. The rest are teenagers or pedos. I do have to address that because of how the site is run. The chat clears on its own and the mailing system is easy to abuse as it also clears out after a certain amount of time.

The articles are mostly non-sense or a mix of people copying a book without sourcing it. It can be interesting to read but since these are user based articles always take it with a grind of salt.

The Covens are also pretty fake. The site owner admits he just wanted to create groups and just went with Covens for the name. They are not active anymore and the ones that are are only a shell of what they once where or could have been.

Right now in the time of writing this the site isn't working. Maybe the owner finally decided to call it quits because it has been pretty dead for a few years as far as I was able to tell.

Honest advice. If you are curious about Paganism, Wicca, Druidism, or anything else I suggest trying to find a coven in your area or get some books about the subject you want to know more about.

Complete crud. They micromanage everything. Say lol in the chat and you get gagged. Gagged means that you cannot post in forums, you cannot mail other members, and you cannot chat, which effectively ruins any decent way of finding information, since most of the spells are fake and added by teenage role-players for fun.

This site is moderated by immature speech Nazi's that will gag for any reason, especially if they feel you might be right when giving advice. Anyone over newbie rank can gag a newer member if they feel that newbie might be smarter than them.

Not to mention that when you get gagged, you have no way of knowing who, and they don't even have the decency to tell you why. When I was gagged, I had to create another account just to speak with admins and find out why. All I got was this response:

"Dear Rule-Breaker,

We do not give information out as to why an account is gagged. If you were the person who broke a rule, you would know what you did. Have fun, and don't forget we have a 20% discount this week on candles!"

How are you supposed to know what you did when they have so many rules preventing the tiniest little things? A poorly and immaturely run website. Not even worth the trouble.

First and for most, it's flooded with a bunch of children and preteens wishing to be vamps, mermaids and any other mythical creatures.

Secondly everything is totally filtered, like the fact some old school recipes for spells can be a bit nitty and gritty while the prefer to gag anyone who isn't talking about fancy products that can be purchased on there site. Another example is a tab to learn about black magic, mention it in chat and you'll get gagged. Talk about religion then get gagged. Moderators are there from time to time but can gag an account with no explanation. Or chance to get ungagged. There fore forcing one to create a new account.

Also, there are thousands and thousands of spells found on this site are made up, copied and past from tv/movie or flat out harmful when consumption is suggested. Why don't they delete gagged account or bogus spells? It's because they are making tons of money on the advertisements that left on those pages

Way back when the site was an actual community. People chated freely, shared knowledge and experience and listened to one another. Unfortunately those left who are serious practitioners keep to them selves and bring down any new member who know nothing about the subject.

Fortunately for me I started using the site many many many years ago and was lucky to be part of what was a tight knit community and made some friends I still chat with till this day.

If your curious about this site, the owner/admin is just a money hungry non practitioners and making alot of it, and Moderators who go on power trip rampage. I wish this site was as good as it was 7 + years ago
