Learn the definitive signs that your spell is active and producing results, and what to do if you are not seeing progress.
One of the greatest sources of anxiety for people who have commissioned or performed a spell is the question: is it actually working? The universe rarely sends a neon sign saying "your working is in progress." Instead, the signs are subtle, symbolic, and easy to dismiss if you do not know what to look for. This guide will help you read those signs accurately and confidently.
Why Spells Don't Show Instant Results
We live in an age of instant gratification. This cultural conditioning makes it genuinely difficult to work with spiritual timelines. A spell does not produce results the way clicking "buy now" produces a delivery. It sets a process in motion — a reorganisation of energetic conditions, a clearing of obstacles, an alignment of circumstances — that unfolds at the pace the universe determines appropriate.
The heavier the blockages, the longer the preparation phase before visible results appear. A person with multiple curses, deeply ingrained limiting beliefs, and a broken ancestral connection will naturally take longer to see movement than someone who simply needs a small spiritual push in the right direction. This is not failure. It is sequence.
Dreams: The Most Reliable Signal
Dreams are the primary language through which the spirit world communicates with us during active spell work. Pay close attention to your dream life after a spell is cast. Positive working signs in dreams include:
- Water flowing freely — rivers, oceans, rain. Water represents the flow of energy, opportunity, and emotion.
- The person you cast a love spell for appearing in your dreams, especially if they are warm, affectionate, or moving toward you.
- Gold, green plants, abundant food, or harvests for money spells.
- Light increasing in a dream, or moving from a dark space into a bright one.
- Ancestors appearing and speaking encouragingly.
Disturbing dreams during the early days of a working are also significant. They often represent the spell doing its clearing work — stirring up stuck energy so it can be released. Do not interpret these as signs of failure.
Physical Signs in Your Environment
Many clients report finding coins — especially pennies or gold-coloured coins — in unusual places after money spells. Candles burning in specific patterns (flame bending consistently in one direction, wax forming meaningful shapes) during ritual are noted by experienced practitioners. Animals behaving unusually around you — birds landing nearby, butterflies following you — are considered positive omens in many African traditions.
Pay attention to repeating numbers. Seeing 111, 444, 777, or 888 repeatedly after a working is a common synchronicity indicating that spiritual forces are aligned and active in your situation.
Shifts in the Target Person's Behaviour
For love spells targeting a specific person, one of the clearest signs of progress is a behavioural shift. The person begins reaching out more frequently, seems warmer or more affectionate, brings up your relationship or shared history spontaneously, or expresses emotions they had previously suppressed. Even small shifts — a text they would not have sent before, a question about your wellbeing after a period of silence — are meaningful data points.
These shifts typically begin appearing within three to seven days for uncomplicated situations. If the person has been actively avoiding you or the relationship has been deeply damaged, the initial signs may be subtler and require more time.
Emotional and Energetic Shifts Within Yourself
Often, the spell's first effects are felt within you rather than in your external circumstances. A sense of inexplicable calm about the situation. A release of anxiety you have been carrying. Renewed hope and clarity. An ability to think about the person or situation without the spike of fear or desperation that was present before. These internal shifts are the spell re-aligning your frequency — and they are prerequisites for external manifestation.
Conversely, if you are still in a state of high anxiety, obsessing, and checking your phone every five minutes, that emotional state is broadcasting a signal of lack that works against the spell. Learning to release and trust is one of the most important skills in effective spell work.
What to Do If You See No Signs
If two to three weeks have passed with no dreams, no shifts in behaviour, no internal changes, and no synchronicities, it is time to consult with Prof Mama Jafali for reassessment. Possible explanations include: a counter-spell or curse actively working against your working, blockages that require additional clearing, the need for a more targeted or powerful working, or timing — the universe is prepared but a circumstantial trigger has not yet occurred.
Reassessment is not a sign of failure. It is responsible spiritual navigation. A good healer does not simply cast and disappear — she monitors, adjusts, and guides the entire process through to completion.
The Importance of Patience and Faith
Faith is not passive. It is an active, energetic state of trust that sustains the working between ritual sessions. Every time you choose trust over fear, you feed the spell. Every time you spiral into doubt, you drain it. This is why Prof Mama Jafali always provides guidance on maintaining the right internal state during an active working — it is as important as the ritual itself.
