[Help] Landlord has moved spikes.

[Veracity]

So I have placed spikes down and I can tell when she moves them cause my dreams get crazy again and stuff starts disappearing and reappearing in weird places around my place.

I have a thought that I could put them in a pot with dirt and it would work but I want to know everyone’s thoughts on that. Would it have the same effect or no? Besides a ward that you have to refresh I really would prefer a long term solution to this problem.

Thank you for your time.

You should magnetize them first.

You could either move to a new place with a new landlord. Or you could make a poppet of your current one and afflict it with the spikes with intention towards your preferred long term solution. But they really should be magnetized.

Do you have any suggestions for magnetizing things? I tried to magnetize a chain with a heavy duty magnet and it didn’t have any effect whatsoever.

I agree with what L’chaim said, how would I magnetize it? Also there’s no possible way I’m moving in the near future.
but this also doesn’t answer whether planting them in a pot with dirt would have the same effect.
Sorry, I’m not meaning to sound short, I’m just frustrated by the whole situation

It's an experiment with hidden variables peculiar to you and your situation, so no one can really reasonably guarantee the outcome you desire using this method (or any other). But it is a creative microcosmic method aimed at sympathetic effect. Try it, take notes, see what happens, then share it here if you would.

But consider this as a landlord vs tenant magical situation: How does a tenant ward off the landlord who has a right to be there? The right in itself is a real power, and it comes with duties and obligations that may be unpleasant for the tenant, but has layers of advantage in terms of social function and contract. If this is rooted in a personal problem - their attitude, for instance - then I would use a poppet. But you could put in the pot and stab it.

There is physical magnetization and sympathetic magnetization, the former being an augmentation of the latter. A chain can be said to already represent sympathetic magnetic force already due to its normal function of binding objects together. And while physical magnetizing is cool, and I am an advocate for it, in some cases it is difficult to impart the quality to certain types of steel for various reasons. It's probably why it is so hard to find good magnetic screwdriver heads these days.

I wondered about the materials, I bought an appropriate length of long link galvanized chain at the store, then burned off the galvanizing with a fire. Someone told me that i should use the coil from a microwave. I got one of those heavy lifting magnets like you use for treasure hunting and tried different things, like moving it to each section of link for several minutes, then putting all the chain in a pile and putting the magnet on all of it. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. I read about a magnetized chain from a description of eliphas levi’s alleged one attempt at a magic ritual, I thought about how iron and steel from before WWII is supposed to be materially different than modern metal, and I’m pretty sure that his chain was, if not hand crafted by a blacksmith, at least didn’t start off in a plastic bucket at Home Depot covered in galvanized plating for dog leashes or whatever.

either way it was a frustrating project. That’s why I wondered if anyone else had had a positive experience with magnetization of items. I know I got a little tool that is supposed to magnetize and demagnetize screwdrivers and it doesn’t work worth a damn. Going back to what you said about screwdrivers, i’ve bought ancient screwdrivers at garage sales that you could use to pick up other tools, and my good chrome vanadium screwdrivers resist magnetization entirely.

Thank you so much for clarifying! I actually have no problem with my landlord and I’m more worried that she might try to boot me if she keeps finding spikes, so thank you for your thoughtfulness on this (she’s like a million years old and I fear if I did anything to make her stop she might not do so hot from it). I didn’t consider that maybe people haven’t tried my idea so I will document it and get back to you guys

I thought that if you struck a piece of metal hard enough you could magnetize it.
I can’t remember where I saw that but that’s what I heard. Also, galvanized anything has terrible repercussions if you huff that shit while burning it, (only in case you didn’t know) plus since galvanization is a form of electroplating you’d need to grind it off to really remove it. I honestly think you’d be better off making your own chain. Most metals have been so stepped on by the time you get it they’re more aluminum alloys than anything else. Only say this because I’m unaware of your level of knowledge on this. If you already kmow
Completely disregard me lol.

When I did 17-18th century colonial era reenactments some people had a length of hand forged chain to use with hooks over the fire for holding kettles and such. I remember a 1 meter length of that cost almost a hundred bucks and that was 15+ years ago. . Sounds like it’s tyme for ye proyecto to take on a more “hand made” approach. Jajaja.
You’re probably right about the mystery meat nature of modern mass produced “metal” , chances are that it’s more zinc alloy than “steel” or even “iron”.

I’m guessing you’re using the spikes in the corners of the property as wards? That you’re doing this outside your house? Maybe you can bury them so they’re out of sight? Cut a triangle in the grass, lift up a corner and hammer them down then put the sod back on top, fluff the grass. If you’re in a super arid climate that’s mostly sand and hard pan it would be even easier.

or you could put an invisibility spell (hate that word but it is what it is) on all of your spikes and make sure you renew it.

or talk to your landlord and tell her you heard that putting metal around your house protects you from 5G radiation or whatever. “This lady down at the health food store told me that…..”.
