Self casting help?

I see thanks

What do I do if its in the spells instructions? Ie prepare the altar, empty into the cauldron? Would any type of receptacle be ok to use?

I have an additional question regarding this matter as well.

You can always google verses to say or chant for the type of spell you are doing, but I have been reading on here that it would actually be more powerful or stronger if you made your own chant since the intent is coming from you.

Or would either be just fine?

Thanks!

Months behind, and I hope this is allowed to be posted (mods, please feel free to delete - just let me know we had to take it down so I know not to mess up again), but I've actually found a real-life person that I trust (one of my friends) who dabbles as a "kitchen witch." She does not cast for anyone but herself or her family, but when I told her I was interested in "witchy stuff" as she calls it, she directed me to www.witchvox.com. From what I've seen so far, there is not a single person that's selling their services (outside of maybe tarot readings, but even that's hard to find), but they have great resources on how to do your own spell work and get involved with others in your area. I would NOT go looking for people to do spell work for you, though - seems like a sure-fire way for them to oust you and think you're disrespecting them. Instead, you could go to them for information on how to begin casting spells on your own. You may want to start small, though. As we all know, "love" spells appear to be the hardest, most finicky spells to cast, so I'd pretty much save them for YEARS down the road after constant learning/studying.

I repeat, though, DO NOT GO LOOKING TO THEM FOR PEOPLE TO DO THE SPELL WORK FOR YOU. Use the resources on that site to find people in your area who can YOU LEARN TO DO IT YOURSELF.
