The right questions to ask a love spell caster matter because most people who search for a love spell caster are not in a calm frame of mind. A breakup is fresh, or a marriage is slipping, or a person has gone quiet and the silence is hard to bear. That is the exact moment when it is easiest to hand money to the first confident voice.
The fix is not cynicism. The fix is a short list of questions, asked politely, before any payment, and a willingness to listen to how the answers are given as well as what they say.
This guide gives you twelve questions to ask a love spell caster. For each one, you will see why it matters, what an honest answer sounds like, what a warning answer sounds like, and what you can expect from Baba Ali Musa, who has practiced for more than thirty years in a Senegalese ancestral lineage. If you want the wider picture first, our general guide on how to choose a real love spell caster covers the signs of honest practice, the red flags and what to do after being cheated. This page does something narrower: it gives you the actual words to say.
How to use these questions
You do not need to ask all twelve in one sitting, and you do not need to sound like a lawyer. Send them in a message, one or two at a time, or keep them beside you during a consultation. What you are listening for is simple. An honest practitioner answers plainly, gives specifics, and is comfortable with you taking time. A scammer answers with feeling instead of facts, changes the subject, or makes you feel rude for asking.
It helps to decide in advance what you will do with the answers. Here is a workable rule. If you get a clear, calm answer to ten or more of the twelve, you are probably dealing with someone who runs an honest practice. If two or more answers are evasive, frightening or pushy, stop, however warm the rest of the conversation felt. Warm is cheap. Specific and written down is not.
One more thing before the list. These questions are not a test of whether love work is real, and no honest caster will pretend a conversation can settle that for you. They test something more practical: whether the person across from you is straight about cost, limits, privacy and what happens if you see no change. You can judge those things yourself, today, without taking anyone’s word on faith.
Group one: experience and who does the work
1. How long have you practiced, and in which tradition?
Why ask. Love work comes out of living traditions, and every tradition has its own methods, limits and manners. A practitioner who can name theirs is accountable to it. One who claims to master everything at once is usually borrowing words from several places and owning none of them.
A good answer names a specific lineage, says roughly how long they have practiced, and explains in a sentence or two how they learned. It may include something they do not do, because real traditions come with boundaries. For example: “I work in a West African lineage I learned from my family, and I do not mix in practices from traditions I was not trained in.”
A warning answer sounds like a menu: “ancient Egyptian, Celtic, African, Indian and Mayan secrets, all combined.” It may also lean on superlatives (the most powerful, the only real one) and on numbers with no source behind them, such as “50,000 couples reunited.” A number like that is marketing, not evidence.
What to expect here. Baba Ali Musa works in a Senegalese ancestral lineage and has done so for more than thirty years. He will tell you that plainly, will not claim other traditions, and does not quote success statistics, because no honest practitioner can back one.
2. Who will actually perform the work?
Why ask. A surprising number of online spell businesses are fronts. The person who answers your first message is a salesperson, the person who “casts” is unnamed, and the person whose photo is on the website may not exist. If you are paying for the work of one practitioner, you are entitled to know that the practitioner is the one doing it.
A good answer is a name and a direct statement: “I perform the work myself, and I am the person you will speak with.” If a team is involved, an honest practice says so and tells you what each person does.
A warning answer is vague (“our masters handle that”), passes you between several “advisers,” or changes who you are talking to after you pay. Be careful with sites that show a different office address in every city. The scam warning signs guide explains why fake local offices are such a common marker.
What to expect here. Baba Ali Musa performs the work himself and works remotely across the United States. He says so rather than inventing a storefront. You can read more about the person behind the practice before you decide anything.
3. What exactly will you do for my situation, step by step?
Why ask. This question separates a practice from a sales script. A real practitioner reads your situation first, then proposes work that fits it. A script offers the same package to everyone, whatever they say.
A good answer starts with your story. It reflects back what you told them, explains which kind of work suits it and why, and describes the shape of the ritual in plain language: roughly how long it runs, whether it involves candles, a honey jar, cords or an offering, and what you will be asked to do yourself, if anything. It also says what the work is not designed to do.
A warning answer skips your story. “Don’t worry, I know exactly what you need,” said before you have explained anything, is a sign the answer was written long before you arrived. Another sign is mystery used as a shield: “I cannot tell you what I will do or it will lose its power.” You are not asking for trade secrets. You are asking for an outline.
Different situations really do call for different work. Someone trying to reopen contact after a breakup needs something different from a person who wants a partner to commit, and both differ from someone healing after a separation. Baba Ali Musa starts with a love reading consultation, which is free, and the work is chosen only after that reading. If the reading points to getting an ex back, the options might include spells to get your ex back or a reconciliation spell, depending on whether the aim is to restart contact or to repair something that is still alive between you.
Group two: materials, cost and terms
4. What materials will you use, and what do they cost?
Why ask. Ritual work uses physical things: candles, honey, herbs, oils, cord, sometimes cloth or paper. These cost money, and they are a legitimate reason for a charge. They are also the easiest place to hide padding. A scammer can call a ten-dollar candle a “sacred rare ingredient” and charge as if it were gold.
A good answer is a list. It names the items, says why each one is there, and gives a price you can compare against an ordinary shop. A candle is a candle. A jar of honey is a jar of honey. If something unusual is truly needed, the practitioner explains where it comes from and why nothing ordinary will do.
A warning answer is a bundle with one big number and no breakdown, or a list that changes after you pay. Be most careful with “rare ingredient” claims that appear only once you have started. This is one of the classic escalation moves: a cheap first step, then a “blockage,” then a special item that only the caster can supply.
What to expect here. There is no spell fee. You pay for materials only, and you are told what they are and what they cost before anything is bought.
5. What is the total cost, and could there be later charges?
Why ask. A price you do not know is not a price. You want one number, stated before you commit, and an honest statement of whether anything else could be added.
A good answer is a figure you can write down, plus a clear statement about the circumstances, if any, in which the cost could change, and a promise that nothing changes without your agreement. Honest practitioners are happy to put this in writing.
A warning answer is “starting at,” “it depends,” or “we will see after the first session.” Watch for the pattern where the first ritual “reveals a bigger problem” and a second payment is needed to deal with it. In the worst version, you are told the spell will turn on you if you stop paying. No spell works that way, and anyone who says so is trying to frighten you into paying.
Ask also about how you pay. Credit cards and established payment providers have dispute processes if something goes wrong. Gift cards, cryptocurrency and wire transfers are very hard to reverse. The Federal Trade Commission is blunt about this: anyone who insists on gift card payment is a scammer. That holds for a spiritual service as much as for a utility bill or a tax demand.
6. What is your refund policy, and where is it written?
Why ask. A refund policy is the most revealing document a practitioner can show you. It tells you whether they stand behind the work in a form you can hold them to. “Satisfaction promised” in a chat message is not a policy. A page you can read, save and screenshot is.
A good answer points you to a written policy before you pay, with a stated window, a clear trigger (what counts as “no change”) and a stated way to claim. It does not rely on conditions you could not have known about in advance.
A warning answer is “we do not do refunds because spiritual work cannot be refunded,” or a refund policy so full of exceptions that nobody could ever qualify. Be wary also of a refund offered verbally in chat but absent from the website and terms.
What to expect here. Baba Ali Musa’s terms are on the site before you book: Money-back guarantee: no change within 7 days, full refund. That is the commitment. Read the full wording before you pay, as you should with every practitioner you consider.
7. How will you handle my private information?
Why ask. You will be telling a stranger about the most vulnerable part of your life: who you love, what went wrong, perhaps something you have told no one else. That information deserves the same care as financial data.
A good answer is specific. It says what is collected, why, where it is kept, who can see it, how long it is kept and how you can have it deleted. It also says what is not collected. Love work needs very little: a first name, your story and what you hope for. It does not need passwords, bank logins, your address or intimate photographs.
A warning answer asks for more than the work could need, or is casual about it. Requests for passwords, account access, your partner’s private details or private photos are warning signs, because they make you easy to pressure. “Don’t tell anyone about this or it won’t work” is the same move in another form: secrecy keeps you from asking a friend who might say, “this sounds like a scam.”
What to expect here. A first name is enough, and you may choose not to share even that. Requests are encrypted and deleted automatically after twelve months, and nothing is sold or shared.
Group three: limits, consent and other people
8. What will you refuse to do?
Why ask. This might be the best single question on the list. A practitioner who has never turned down a case is not exercising judgment. They are selling to everyone. Honest practice has edges, and the practitioner can tell you where they are without hesitating.
A good answer is a list, delivered calmly. Typical entries include: cases involving minors; cases where there is abuse or a protective order; cases where the other person has clearly and repeatedly asked for no contact; any request to harm, sicken or humiliate someone; and cases where the reading shows the bond is closed. A practitioner may also decline when they believe the answer is rest, healing or professional help, not ritual.
A warning answer is “I can do anything,” “no case is too difficult” or “there is always a way.” Worse is any willingness to cast curses on a rival, break up someone else’s marriage out of spite, or make an ex suffer. Those are not services. They are the point where a conversation should end.
What to expect here. Baba Ali Musa declines cases involving minors, protective orders, abuse, and requests to harm. He also declines when someone has asked the client to keep their distance. If your relationship involved violence, stalking or a person who will not accept “no,” the work you need is safety, not a spell. The National Domestic Violence Hotline is available at 1-800-799-7233, any time, free and confidential.
9. How do you handle the other person’s consent and any third parties?
Why ask. Love work always involves someone who is not in the room. The person you want back, or want closer, has their own heart and their own choices. And sometimes there is a third party: a new partner, a relative who disapproves, a friend with an agenda. How a practitioner thinks about these people tells you almost everything about their ethics.
A good answer makes clear that the work opens a door and does not remove anyone’s choice. It describes what the ritual aims at (clearing what is in the way, restoring warmth, helping contact happen) and says plainly that the other person remains free to respond or not. On third parties, an honest practitioner will not promise to “remove” a person from someone’s life. They may describe work that clears confusion or outside interference around the bond, and they will be honest that they cannot control another person’s decisions.
A warning answer promises to control: “he will have no choice,” “she will do exactly what you say.” A practitioner who talks like this is either lying about what is possible or willing to ignore a person’s consent, and either way you should walk. Our post on love spells and consent explains where this practice draws the line and why.
It is also worth asking what happens if the other person is genuinely not interested. A practitioner who answers, “then the kind thing is to stop and heal,” is telling you something valuable about how they work. One who says “we will keep going until they give in” has told you something too.
10. What should I do, and avoid doing, after the ritual?
Why ask. The ritual is a small part of the story. What you do in the weeks after matters just as much, and any practitioner who treats the payment as the end of the relationship has not thought about aftercare.
A good answer is practical. It might include: do not bombard the other person with messages; do not announce what you have done; keep your own routines and sleep; notice small changes without testing them; and come back with questions rather than guessing. It will also include something about being a decent person to the one you are thinking of, because most reconnections fail from pressure and not from lack of ritual.
A warning answer is a list of restrictions that conveniently stop you from checking anything: do not speak to friends, do not look at your phone, do not question the process, do not tell anyone. Real aftercare makes your life steadier. A control script makes it smaller.
Also ask whether you can reach the practitioner after the work, and how. “Message me any time you have a question” is a good sign. Silence after payment is the opposite.
Group four: honesty when it matters most
11. What happens if nothing changes?
Why ask. Sooner or later this is the question that decides whether you were treated fairly. The honest answer is not “that cannot happen.” It is a clear description of what you will be told, what you can ask for, and what you can do next.
A good answer has three parts. First, a timeframe for the first signs, stated honestly. Second, what counts as no change, so the goalposts cannot be moved later. Third, what you are entitled to if the signs do not come, whether that is a refund, a review of the situation or both. A practitioner should also be willing to tell you that some situations take longer, that signs are often small (a message, a softened tone, a name coming up), and that nobody can promise a fixed outcome. Our post on how long a love spell takes to work goes through realistic timelines.
A warning answer blames you. “It did not work because you did not believe enough.” “You must have broken the rules.” “Someone has cursed you, and that will cost more to remove.” Each of those turns a failed result into a reason to pay again. Another warning answer is silence: no reply, a blocked number, a site that disappears.
What to expect here. Clients are asked to watch for the first signs within three to seven days. If you do not, the refund policy applies, and you do not have to prove you did anything wrong.
12. Will you tell me honestly if this is not a good fit?
Why ask. A reading is only worth something if “no” is a possible answer. If every reading, for every person, ends in “yes, buy the spell,” it is a sales call with a candle in the background.
A good answer is a plain yes, with an example. “Sometimes the bond is closed. When it is, I will tell you, and I will point you toward healing instead.” An honest practitioner is comfortable telling you that the kindest work is to let go, to wait, or to speak to a counselor.
A warning answer is an insulted tone, or a promise that every case can be fixed. Be careful with any reading delivered mostly in dramatic images (“a dark shadow over you,” “another woman’s spell”) and with a price attached to each image.
What to expect here. The first step is a free love reading consultation, and it includes the honest answer when the answer is no. That is the whole purpose of reading before casting.
Good and bad answers, side by side
It can be hard to judge an answer in the moment, especially when you are anxious. Here is how the same few moments tend to sound from an honest practitioner and from a scam script.
You say, “Nothing has changed yet.” An honest practitioner asks what you have noticed, reminds you of the window and points you to the refund policy if the window has passed. A scam script says the case is blocked and names a price to unblock it.
You say, “I need to think about it.” An honest practitioner says, “Of course. Take your time.” A scam script says the moon is closing tonight, the offer ends in an hour, or the other person is about to be lost forever.
You say, “Can I see that in writing?” An honest practitioner sends it, or tells you where it is on the site. A scam script says, “Do you not trust me?” That sentence is built to make you feel guilty for caution. Nobody who is confident in their own policy takes offense at being asked to show it.
You say, “I do not want to share my partner’s details.” An honest practitioner says that is fine and works with what you are comfortable giving. A scam script says the work cannot go ahead without a photograph, an address or an account login.
You say, “What if the other person does not want this?” An honest practitioner talks about consent, about stopping, and about healing. A scam script says the person’s wishes do not matter. If you hear that, you have learned what you needed to know.
How to ask without feeling awkward
Many people hesitate to push on cost or refunds because the subject is intimate and the practitioner seems kind. That discomfort is normal and it is exactly what a scam uses. A few habits make it easier.
First, ask in writing. A message gives you a record, gives the practitioner time to answer carefully, and removes the pressure of a live conversation. Second, ask one group of questions at a time. You might start with experience and cost, then come back to privacy and limits. Third, say out loud that you are asking everyone the same things. “I am asking these questions of anyone I might work with” is true, polite and hard to argue with.
Fourth, give yourself a cooling-off period. Whatever you decide, sleep on it. Honest practitioners do not run out of time. They are there tomorrow. Fifth, tell someone you trust that you are looking into this. You do not have to tell them everything. Just having one person who knows you are considering a payment changes how hard you feel pushed.
Lastly, compare at least two practitioners using the same twelve questions. The contrast is often more informative than any one answer. When one person gives you specifics and another gives you feelings, the choice mostly makes itself.
When to walk away
Some answers do not need weighing. If you hear any of these, close the conversation, and do not feel obliged to explain.
- A demand for gift cards, cryptocurrency or a wire transfer.
- A claim that you are cursed, followed by a price for removing it.
- A threat that stopping will bring harm to you or the other person.
- Pressure to decide tonight, with a countdown or a fading moon.
- A request for passwords, bank access, your address or private photos.
- A promise that the other person will have “no choice.”
- An offer to curse, hurt or humiliate anyone.
- A refusal to put cost or refund terms in writing.
If you have already paid someone who behaved like this, stop paying whatever they threaten, save every message and receipt, contact your bank or card provider about a dispute, and report it at ReportFraud.ftc.gov. The FTC has also documented how romance-related scams exploit loneliness and urgency, which is useful reading if you are wondering whether you were targeted. Being scammed is not a character flaw. These people practice on those who are hurting.
If earlier work left you anxious about curses or blocks, uncrossing and cleansing is a calm way to clear that fear before you decide what comes next.
Questions to ask yourself before you ask anyone else
The twelve questions above are for the practitioner. A few are for you, and they matter as much.
What do I actually want? “My ex back” can mean many things: a conversation, an apology, a second chance, an end to the silence. Knowing which one you are after makes it far easier to judge whether a proposed ritual fits.
Have I tried the ordinary steps? Honest practitioners will say that ritual works best alongside real-world effort: a calm message, a period of space, an apology that was owed. If you want help with that part, our guides on reconnecting after silence are a good place to begin. Spiritual work is not meant to replace them.
Am I safe, and is the other person safe? If there has been violence, threats or a protective order, stop here and look after your safety first. The National Domestic Violence Hotline, 1-800-799-7233, can talk through your options at any hour.
Can I afford to lose what I am about to spend? Not because you will, but because if the answer is no, you are in the position scammers look for. Slow down until the answer is yes.
Do I feel calmer after talking to this person? This might be the best test of all. A good conversation leaves you steadier, even if the news was not what you hoped. A bad one leaves you frightened, confused or hurried. Trust that feeling more than the sales page.
What honest answers look like in practice
To pull the twelve together, here is what a short, honest exchange can sound like, written as a composite of how a straightforward practice speaks, not as a record of any one client.
You ask about experience. You are told which tradition the practitioner works in, how long, and where they stop. You ask who does the work. They say they do. You ask what the ritual involves. They describe it in plain steps, and say what you will be asked to do. You ask about materials and cost. They list the items and the total, and say nothing else will be added without your agreement. You ask about refunds. They point you to a written page. You ask about privacy. They say what is kept, for how long, and how to have it deleted.
You ask what they will refuse. They name the cases. You ask about the other person. They explain that the work opens a door and that the other person stays free to walk through it or not. You ask about aftercare. They give you a short list that makes your life calmer. You ask what happens if nothing changes. They give you a window, a definition, and the refund. You ask if they will tell you when it is not a good fit. They say yes, and mean it.
None of that is dramatic. That is the point. Honest practice is mostly specific, steady and a little bit dull on the money and the terms, because the interesting part is the work itself. Drama is for people who need you too frightened to ask questions.
Where to go from here
If these questions have shown you that a particular practitioner is not for you, that is a good result. You have saved money and worry. If you want to put the same questions to Baba Ali Musa, you can start with a free love reading consultation. It is a conversation, not a purchase, and it includes an honest answer about whether love work suits your situation. If your situation is a breakup and you are wondering which type of work might apply, the pages on spells to get your ex back and the reconciliation spell describe each in plain terms, including what they are not.
For the broader checklist of signs and red flags, read how to choose a real love spell caster. For a closer look at the tactics scammers rely on, the scam warning signs guide goes through them one at a time. And the Ethics Charter sets out the commitments this practice holds itself to. If you ever feel Baba Ali Musa has fallen short of any of them, say so.
If the work you want is reconciliation, what to know before choosing a reconciliation spell adds nine more questions.
Questions about asking a love spell caster
What is the single most important question to ask a love spell caster?
Ask what they will refuse to do. A practitioner who can name the cases they decline has real limits. One who says no case is too hard is selling, not practicing.
Is it rude to ask about cost and refunds?
No. Honest practitioners expect these questions and answer them calmly. If you are made to feel rude or distrustful for asking, treat that reaction as your answer.
Should a love spell caster ask for my partner’s photo or address?
Not for Baba Ali Musa’s work. A first name and your story are enough. Requests for addresses, passwords or private photos are warning signs with any caster.
Can a caster make the other person do what I want?
No honest practitioner promises that. Love work opens a door and does not remove anyone’s choice. Anyone promising control is either lying or ignoring consent.
What if the caster says I am cursed?
Be very careful. An invented curse followed by an expensive cure is the most common scam in this field. Pause, talk to someone you trust and do not pay under pressure.
How long should I wait before deciding?
As long as you need. An honest practitioner is happy for you to read the policies, compare others and return later. Anyone who rushes you has told you something.
What does Baba Ali Musa’s refund policy say?
Money-back guarantee: no change within 7 days, full refund. The full wording is on the Refund Policy page, and you should read it before you pay.
Can I ask these questions in writing?
Yes, and it is a good idea. A written exchange gives you a record, gives the practitioner time to answer carefully and takes the pressure off a live conversation.
