Whether or not a spell or potion or ritual backfires or causes consequences is up to you and your beliefs. If you think it will or can then its very likely that it could. What I believe is that a spell, potion, or ritual can not backfire if it is done without doubt at anytime that means before after and during the casting of the spell. I think it can not backfire if it is also done whole heartedly like the reason for doing it does not change I will add layer
I think a lot of 'backfire' that commonly is described in spell work (especially love rituals) is due to the caster not doing their homework. The fail to properly vet the person they're making love them and wind up with someone with obsessive, violent, or deadbeat tendencies and they're not stuck with them.
Sometimes it's not backfire at all and it the spell worked but the person just can't see how to proceed. The magick/universe lined everything up for but needs you to make the first step.

One of the basic principles of magic states "Know thyself". A person, that knows truly themselves knows painfully well all of his/her own aspects and subtle bodies, develops an extraordinary state of awareness. Developing such self-awareness often comes after a lot of ordeals and challenges, during which any self-doubt is faced, understood, accepted and remedied. Only then a person develops awareness of their true Will. Please note, Will should never be mistaken for the wishful thinking of the human mind, which is a product of the thought processes taking place in the brain. True Will is only influenced by the state of your soul, which it naturally assumed at some point of time, and it is the most purely perceived at the exact moment of your death. It has nothing to do with thinking, but it is a state of being brought forward by your experiences and awareness on all levels at any given moment of time. If your soul does not agree with the wishful thinking of your brain, it will sabotage your intend in one way or another, which will manifest on this level as backfiring. Thus, for this to be avoided your emotional, mental and energetic self have to agree completely, without a shadow of a doubt. Shadows of the doubt are thoughts planted in our awareness by the people/entities, who themselves thought that they have known every perception/experience there is. They exist to defy your truth and act as a awakening kinda of a rude. What they are going to awaken is either monsters or either miracles, depending of your level of understanding. Sometimes it is both things at the same time, interwoven into the most cognitive dissonance there is in existence, where the ultimate truth dances hand in hand with madness.
