I got this as a freebie as a C5 and I was a bit reluctant because it was between this one or another spell. I decided to get Pattern of Fate because I'm in a bit of a pivotal place in my life where I have no idea what path I am in exactly, even if there are people who tell me not to worry that things will fall into place (I'm one of those people that things need to be definite and sure, so that's the reason why I chose this spell).

When it got here, the vessel was a very beautiful red jasper pendulum-like pendant (I looked up the meaning of red jasper, I literally gasped because it corresponded with everything I ordered/needed in my life and it also made sense it would be the stone for a spell like this for me). But, I will admit also that I didn't place much attention to it at first than I did with everything else I did order until a day or two later when one of my hands held the vessel. There was this very powerful energy that made my hand tingle. It was the only vessel that did that to me energetically. Even if I let it go, there was this attraction to hold on to it. I've kept it pretty close since then because of the energetic craving(?) I have towards it, but I no longer feel the tingle. I am not sure yet if it is actually going to help clear up my path or it has made positive changes (still have to wait and see), but I found it interesting the description says about the spell to wrap around you the first few days and the surge of energy I felt when I finally took it out of the baggie and into my hand. (I'm not at all that sensitive to energy so I was ecstatic!)

Advantages: I believe this is a very good spell to keep with you in your life, especially if you feel as though there are blockages or you feel confused on where exactly your life is heading. You feel a bit safer knowing that there is something helping you to follow something you are meant to such as your purpose in life and it's to make you happy.

Disadvantages: None so far at the point I'm writing this. Maybe if you are much more sensitive to energy, it might be a bit of a punch to get used to at first. (I'm saying this in comparison to the first time I touched it.)
