PERSONAL CONCERNSWhat Are Personal Concerns?

Personal Concerns is a term used to include anything that is associated with a person’s physical body either having once been a part of it or having intimate contact to the body. Their use in magick is based on the theory of contagious magick which states that “things once in contact with one another continue to exert an influence on one another after they have been separated.” Personal Concerns represent a practitioner's connection to another individual and are used to cast spells for good or evil which are to have an affect on the person to whom they are linked.
