So, once I asked my spirite guides a year ago if I should k*ll myself and I think they sent me the sign. Now, I asked the through my tarot if they sent me that and said "yes" and then I asked "was that just a ramdom thing that I took as a sign?" they said no many times (tower, fool, hermit, star, etc)

is that possible? can they tell you that?

I had a strange experience today with a fellow witch. She is my coworker in a location 2 hrs away from my office. We will call her Lilly. Today my team and I traveled to Lilly’s location for training. I came to say hi and chitchat with Lilly. I had brought up a tarot reading I gave to our mutual friend the day before. Lilly said she hadn’t seen the text from our mutual friend yet. Everything seemed good. Well I had a conference call immediately after this interaction. Lilly sends me a private chat that explained that she isn’t comfortable talking about anything non-Christian in front of another coworker, we will call John. Apparently John is VERY devout and is known for reporting people to the Vatican for practicing witchcraft. Is this really a thing that can happen? Would you be harassed or be in danger? Let me know if you if you or someone you know has dealt with this. I’m scared.

Is there a god or goddess I can "talk" to or pray to about finding good job and being hired there?

Hi everyone. I'm hoping someone can help me my living situation is bad and today I was just blamed for everything going on in the house because of my practice in witchcraft which is hardly a practice but anyways. I had to get rid of all my witchy things as to not get kicked out. But during being blamed for all of this the guy(house owner) who said all of it also said something along the lines of "by the power of the sky and __ your name will be cursed by the all powerful ___" it was really bad and it's mostly a blur so I'm sorry I don't have the specific words but I believe the all powerful entitys name maybe started with a Y. He is "Christian" the house owner so maybe it's another name for God. But I don't feel safe, And I'm sure the curse thing was nothing but I'm hoping someone would be able to do a protection spell or curse break or cleanse from me since I cannot do any witchcraft. Please help. He also threatened my cat and her having to leave or something because she's my "familiar" protect for my mum would also be appreciated 🥹

"From Whence Comes The Rain"

That hearty, earthy smell of rain

Descend so gentle on world terrain

The frosty chill we feel that falls

Sound of nature in godlike halls

Echo in man's domain

The forest looms, the wind it blows

Through bough of trees, the volume grows

Beneath the drops, the grasses bow

Birds call mournful to their lovers now

Their song brought to a close

The branches in soft ceremony sway

Back and forth as musics play

The sky -- not grey, nor blue -- can't tell

If weather shall be ill or well

Take which word you may

I feel the storm begin so gentle

Darkness covers as doth a mantle

Cold freeze my fingers to the bone

As slippery ice on stepping stones

Where treads a careless sandal

Why doth this feel of terror start

Wakening nightmares inside my heart

Rumbles deep of thunder hear

Wailing wind within my ear

Piercing like a dart

Torrents release in fury great

Dark clouds sag from all their weight

Nature's cries now fill the air

Warning man with unmatched care

To avoid a final fate

Arrows split the heavens in twain

Waging war on fearsome bane

Some ancient feud hid from our eyes

Taking place beyond the skies

From whence comes the rain

For brief context: I was raised in a Christian fundamentalist cult since I was 6 years old, and I was actually still in the cult (and I still considered myself a Christian at the time) when I wrote this poem. I had no idea at the time that I would actually leave the cult and (abusive) husband a year later, or that I would deconstruct my faith and embrace paganism and my own craft within a few years after that.

I wanted to share it because I came across this poem again today and realized it sounded so pagan, in a way that I had never been exposed to. I just wrote what I felt, it came to me very naturally. If I had advice to share, it would be to pursue what is natural to you.

Anyway, mostly sharing for old time's sake. I hope you like it, and it brings you comfort/joy like it did me.

Blessed be! 💜

I’m moving into a new apartment soon, and I want to cleanse it. The last time I moved (8+ year ago), I used white sage as a smudge (and that’s obvs a no go now— I was wrong to use it before).

What can I do to cleanse the new place?

Thanks!

Seeking a guide/coven to find a mentor/guide. All of this is overwhelming and I need to make sense of it.

Searched locally… Wiccan based and all membership paused for the others. I don’t want to be tied down to Wicca per se, want to learn it all.

If any of you have a resource for a 39 f mom of two, just figuring this energy and witch shit out… please help.

I'm new to the craft and "in the closet" about it (don't want to deal with judgment from family) and want some advice on performing a spell! I've tried some little things before like how to write a sigil etc. but not much. I'd also like to find a spell that doesn't require too many ingredients/materials since I don't want to raise any suspicion...
For context:
I have a friend I feel like I'm losing touch with. We used to talk and call basically every day, but for the past few months they've been answering less frequently and we haven't called in quite some time... They live two hours away so we don't see each other often, the last time was about 6 months ago. I've brought it up to them and they said that it's because they're busy and also don't want to use their phone a lot because they find it draining. The lack of communication isn't exclusive to me because I've had some mutual friends ask if I've heard from them. I totally get that going on a screen isn't ideal and it's draining, but I don't want to lose my connection with them completely and I fear that it's slowly becoming that way. What's a spell that I can use to encourage more communication and meet each other soon?

Hey all, new here and fairly newish into things. My great grandmother was said to be a witch of darker sorts from the stories I've heard, and I was born on her birthday. She had a soft spot for me, and I have always had a curiosity into all things witch related. We have a strong familial line of all females having dreams, feelings, and other 'odd' things of the sorts...myself included. I've dabbled here and there but nothing really solid.

I did some serious manifestation, bay leaf burning, candles, and some light spell work by others to regain the relationship I'm currently in. I'll never admit that to another soul in person, as not many people around me believe..especially not him. We are currently in a very rough patch and I need to know if there's things I can do to help aide the mend of our relationship issues. He says he still loves me and is in love but doesn't know if loving me is enough for the relationship anymore. I'm taking steps outside of here to do my part of repairing things, but wanted to see if anyone had any insightful or helpful things that could also help? I have never felt this way or had the connection with another person as I have my current partner, from the first day we met I felt it in my soul the connection between us. I still very much love him and want our future together we have talked about.

I am new to spellwork and have been looking into performing a love spell to increase a persons interest in me. We have known each other for a few months and have had some romantic experiences but things have not developed in a while and I'm hoping to spark his interest in me again. We are in close proximity and our paths cross often and even though there's no ill will between us I find that there is not much initiative coming from his end. These past few days I have been noticing the numbers 2222 and 1111 appearing more than usual and I am taking this as a sign that now could be a good time to cast a spell. I have been considering a honey jar spell but I cannot use candles in my living arrangements so was hoping for some effective alternative to the energetic role that candles play in spellwork. POI and I are both irish and living in ireland so I was also wondering if anyone as any knowledge pertaining to irish pagan folklore and tradition that I could incorporate? The only information I could find related to geasa which seem to have more negative intentions. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

There are tons of correspondence lists for herbs and crystals and colors, but I’m looking for more of a “random items” list. For example, keys, spoons, clocks, musical instruments, bells, sewing needles, bowls, etc.

Even if you don’t have a list, I appreciate any items you can think of.

If you live in the United States, you obviously know who was the selective president and of course everybody’s very concerned. But what is everybody doing to protect themselves and their craft? I saw somebody say to turn off your Face ID or touch ID because you cannot be forced to put in your password but the police can use those to get into your phone. But do you think we should be concerned about keeping our access to books especially digital books. If you’re not in the room closet, are you “going into hiding“ I’m just really concerned. I’ve definitely seen this concern going through our community. Please comment your thought thoughts/ideas.

I'm a mom and haven't met any witches since I'm in the bible belt and was wondering if there are any tips or apps anyone can recommend♡.

I did my first spell last night, a honey jar spell for family harmony. Everything seemed to go well. But afterward, despite consciously discharging excess energy, I was so wired/energetic/hyperactive I couldn't sleep all night and I'm still buzzing almost 18 hours later. What gives???

I am a baby witch, far in the broom closet. My 3 kids all are in great need of clothing. Is there something I can do to specifically manifest clothes for them? They just all are growing so fast. In the past I have received hand me downs but nothing has materialized lately.

Hey, so I’ve read everything in the wiki, but if anybody has any ideas where to hide this stuff, but it is still easily accessible. I have no privacy. I currently have my runes under my bed in a bag and I pull one a day, but if anyone were to walk in, I would look very suspicious on the other side of my bed in the floor. I cannot hide them in my closet since my little sister goes through my clothes. I thought about hiding them in a tea tin but idk.

Hey, in case anyone missed it, you can now hide and password lock any app you want now as of iOS 18 I believe I’m using this to my full advantage you can download any crystal apps, tarot apps, moon phase apps, etc., and completely hide them obviously this may not work if you have very tech savvy family, but it’s working for me
It puts it in a special folder in your app library.

This is how you do it. Simply press and hold an app until a little menu pops up with a hide and requires Face ID. You can also just hide it. Hope this helps.

I am a passionate witch and wanted to share my experience with the Queen, Born from the Foam, Lady of the Sea... I had my doubts, even though I felt a deep pull toward magick.... I wasn’t sure what to believe or how to believe. Growing up, I've always enjoyed reading Greek mythology, but I was taught to follow one God throughout my life. Yet, if there’s only one God, why did I feel so drawn to explore and search more? I couldn't help but question...

Today, I did my first deity work...with the goddess Aphrodite. I wasn’t sure what to expect, though I had read many accounts of others’ experiences. There was one particular experience that stirred a sense of jealousy in me; I found myself longing to have something like that for myself. I've craved to feel that close to divinity, to experience a connection so intimate. I kept asking myself: how can someone feel a deity they cannot see? How can they mourn for something they can't touch or experience in the physical world? I have learned that today.

I began with a cleansing ritual, then lit a pink candle anointed with rose oil on my humble altar. Instead of offering, I gifted her prosecco in a crystal glass, along with pistachios. As I ate, a thought crossed my mind: she would like this. The idea of an offering felt like a transaction in that moment, something given in return. But what I truly wanted was simply to thank her for her presence. At first, I wasn’t certain of her presence, but then I began to feel a warmth in my hands that I had used to anoint the candle with rose oil itself.

At first, I worried it might be an allergic reaction to the essential oil, but soon I was reassured that it was the presence of the goddess. The warmth grew, as if my skin had been cut and my blood flowed like liquid gold, burning hot as fire, infused with the scent of roses. A warmth began to rise through my spine and spread across my entire body, as though it were flowing through me. With each pulse, my movements became more fluid, my body swaying in rhythm with the energy that surged within. Sensuality awakened within me, and I began to dance, my hands tracing the curves of my own body... I hadn’t felt this alive in months, and the sensations that overwhelmed me were intoxicating. As the fire of the candle flickered before me, I found myself speaking to it, as if it held the answers to the questions I hadn't yet asked.

I thanked her for her presence, speaking from the deepest, most sincere part of myself. At first, all I sought was to feel her near, that was the question that had been gnawing at my mind. I let the music, softly playing in the background, wash over me as I moved with joy, swaying to the rhythm of the song and the warmth of her presence, like fire flowing through my veins. Fun fact, she seemed to adore the siren songs I played for her; together, we reveled in them. After the initial pleasure of feeling her in my body, I began to speak to her through the flames, as though they were her voice. And suddenly I overwhelmed by the beauty and intensity of the moment, my tears began to fall...tears for something so beautiful and heartbreaking, I felt as though I were witnessing the most profound truth in the entire world. This was the first time I had ever felt anything close to this.

Then, we shared a few intimate words, I offered her one of my necklaces, asking for her blessing so I could wear it and feel her presence closer to me. As the candle flickered, nearing its end, I thanked her once more, my tears started flowing freely. I whispered my gratitude again and again, just feeling so thankful.

I just wanted to share with you my beautiful and magical moments,

Stay with magick...

(The photo shows the candle I lit after the ritual, while writing these sentences.)

So, I don't personally believe in any gods, atleast for now. But I've always really wanted to make an alter but had no one to make one for, so I was thinking maybe I could make an alter to the earth?

I live in a toxic household with strictly Christian family I wanna look into a non-noticeable spell to help accelerate or remove me from this situation I’m a closeted witch/psychic medium clairvoyant spiritualist and this house is a major blockage not only physically but spiritually as well so if anyone has any advice or anything feel free to let me know.😊

Hi! I have found a way to create and keep an altar without having in it physically. It is just so you can have an idea of it and place it in front of you when meditating or doing other things like talking with your god or goddess or even for spells.

This is just a draft but you'll have an idea of how much you can do with this app. Shuffles is an extention app by Pinterest so you can use your own images or Pinterest images. It's easy and very intuitive. You can add things, change the position and angle, change the background etc

Hope you guys like it! I made an altar for Hermes and Persephone (that's way you see the bat and turtle plushie lol) since I want to worship them and eventually work with them and when I made the altars I felt an immense joy inside. My intuition was shouting it was the right thing to do. Although I mainly used them for the statue image of them since I have small physical altars for both

Good day everyone. I've been recently learning as much as I can about witchcraft and all sorts of the related elements to it. I've even attempted some of my own spellsbut one thing I'm struggling to find information about are what deity's are associated with witchcraft. I see people mention them regularly and although I recognise some of the names, there are others I've never heard of. So I was wondering if there is a list anywhere of what deity's are connected to witchcraft and how to work with them during spells and rituals. Thank you.

How do you protect your home if you’re in the broom closet.

Do you use wards. Sigils etc. i cant use anything obvious but i need to get my protections in order.

To be honest, I don't want a bad karma but this narcissistic person ruined the whole family and turned everyone against each other with her lies and her twisted stories. She is the most evil person I have ever met in my life. She is a lonely person, everyone sees her true self and leaves her alone after a while the damage is already done. Her poison has spread enough to sow doubt and turn people against one another. But my father seems to never believe the fact that she might be lying not even after you present a proof. He is like a blind person when it comes to her. But I know this situation is hurting everyone including me and my father. He is the only person she has and she will do anything to keep him.

I don't want anything to do with her but I am going to see her soon and was thinking to do a protection spell and maybe more... I am trying to choose my words and set my intentions carefully. I gave a good thought into this and am wondering your opinions and recommendations on this.

My intentions are for this person to gain consciousness for her actions and gain an empathy which I doubt she has any. I want her to feel ashamed every time she spreads lies, to truly understand how wrong her actions are and how deeply they hurt others. I want her to live with the fear of the truth coming out one day and how people will view her, until she finally admits the truth. Also, I want to restore my fathers sight and give him a clear vision but I am not sure if this will bring any good for him. I don't want to force him to something he is not ready to see and intervene with someone else's free will. But can't keep myself from wondering what if she cast a spell to blind him for her actions. He is like the king under a spell, Theoden, in Lotr. I know she is into these kind of stuff (not by herself but visits and believes in mediums and magick). What should I do?

Hey, so I’ve been in the broom closet for over 10 years now. I have a very busy life, taking care of my nephew every day. And I live with my parents for several personal reasons. Rent is too expensive for one thing. But between having to practice in secret and having a full schedule, I have a very hard time actually doing witchcraft. By the end of the day, I’m really tired and don’t want to do anything but watch movies. But this bothers me and it’s on my mind and my heart every day I do little things that I can only take a few seconds, but I want to get more involved and make this an important part of my every day. I have some basic tools. I hope this makes sense. I want to incorporate this into my life in a more consistent and meaningful way. I have no doubt this is my path. I think it’s time I really pursue it. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much blessed be.

Is there anywhere that has recipes for spell oils? I know I can use correspondences and make my own but I would like to start with something already tried and go from there.

Hi. I'm a "young" witch in practicing not in years. I did an abundance spell last night.

The rose petals were under and in a ring around the candle and a ring of cinnamon around that,

I burnt the abundance sigils and a rose petal, I live alone, no doors or windows were opened and no drafts exist where I have my temporary alter (under going design renovations). This morning when i got up the rose petals were in a perfectly straight line through the center of the circle, the cinnamon had not moved.

Does anyone have any kind of explanation for this please? Thanks
