I recently started hanging out with someone who is very open about using magic and doing spells and sometimes I catch their hand over my head and mumbling words. Since I started spending time with them I’ve noticed I look very different my body doesn’t feel like mine anymore. I look and feel ugly. I’ve lost volume in my buttocks which they’ve constantly told me they were jealous of and told me they were gonna do a spell to steal my beauty. Which they said they did to their previous friend. They’ve told me before that they’ve stolen my energy. I was wondering if anyone has any advice on how to protect myself against this and keep them from stealing my beauty or possibly get it all back somehow. I’ve also been told by a few witches that this person is intervening in my love life.

Hello everyone! I'm pretty new and have an interest in potion/herbal remedy making. Does anyone have any resources worth looking into?

Thank you!

hello all! first time posting here. so i have a situation where an abuser i used to know while alive is now dead and harassing and attempting to sexually assault me in the dream realm. it’s getting relentless and i have tried a few different things to try to protect myself but it seems it hasn’t quite been enough. i got ahold of some black salt and am thinking of cleansing my room with rosemary or something like that, and then sprinkling black salt around the perimeter of my bedroom and under my bed (since that’s where all the attacks are focused). would this be effective?

also, is this something i need to do regularly? how often would i change out the salt if so?

any help is much needed and appreciated. i am scared to go to sleep at this point

Tuesday, ruled by mars so stay safe out there and vent here because who knows when a wandering god of war may be out for mischief!

Is there anyone who knows any wards/sigils that would help ward off bad spirits and other things that i can put around my property to protect me

Hi Allan. I will be going to my first ever retreat in Cardiff. I have been reading about the area (since I’m in the US and have no clue). I have over a 20 hour layover in Schipol and wanted ask if you have any hotels you may recommend near the airport. This is going to be a once in a lifetime experience for me, I can’t wait. Thank you.

I have recently discoverd the eko eko azarak chant but have also completely failed to find any info about if (other then the whole lyrics and that it is an opening phrase in wiccan chants), my main questions are what does it mean and what it's used for, so i was wondering if anybody here knew anyting about it. Thanks!

Gotta admit.. I'm pretty sad.

Wicca Magazine uses AI for their cover art, when I called it out and asked why they are using AI and not the thousands of talented wiccan artists out there, they blocked me from their page. They didn't even bother to respond.

If you actually subscribe to them, I'd think again.

I’m new into Wicca, and I’ve always had an interest in the paranormal and messages from the “beyond”. I love a good ghost hunting show and always get sucked into shows about mediums. I realize TV can and probably is faked a lot of the time. Anyways, since I’m new to Wicca I’m not sure what the general consensus is on these topics. Do you all believe in ghosts and mediums and being able to contact the dead? I sometimes think I can feel the presence of the previous owners of my house, who have both since passed on, but I swear they have a really strong energy that still encompasses my house today, even to the point where I feel weird calling it “my” house; it feels more like I’m a guest in their house. I’ve never spoken to a medium or psychic before but I’ve always wanted to. I’m just curious what you all think about these things!

What are y’all thoughts on removing a hex? Or ending love/domination spells? Has anything ever backfired? Any symptoms to the one removing dirty work ?

I’m thinking about setting up an altar, but I live in a small Japanese apartment with my partner, so space is limited. I love the idea of a shelf or apothecary cabinet, but we have to be careful of holes in the wall.

I’d love to see your shelf/small space altars for inspiration! ☺️

Hello, baby witch here. I don’t know if this is the right place to post however, I’ve recently felt called to diety worship but I have no idea where to start. Can anyone recommend any books to get me started. Many thanks 😊

Hello all!

My roommate who has been apart of Witchcraft for many years but has just recently started back into it, helped me by buying me my first Tarot deck. I have had many thought provoking, very accurate readings from this deck and am so grateful.

But getting to my point.. I have always been attracted to crows ever since I was little, never really messed with them, but always had a strange sense of trust between them and I. My roommate and I just went on a vacation to Paris, France, and on that trip we had a interesting encounter with a crow. They just sat and stared at us, flew off, then came back and stared from above on the roof it landed on. Didn’t think much of it until we got back home, and talked about my connection to crows. A day later my roommate heard my desire and open mind about starting my spiritual journey, so we went to a local witchy store to see what spoke out to me. I hadn’t even started looking at a lot of decks, when a women said “Excuse me!”, we moved as she placed a tester deck onto the shelf, it read “Crow Tarot”. My jaw was on the floor. Even they were shocked at how easily my deck fell into my hands as if it threw it self at me. Any thoughts on that?

Secondly, I have been having a lot of trouble figuring out what the next steps of my journey should be. So I sat on my bed, lit some incense and a candle, and called upon the Spirit to guide me in the right directions. I saw in my mind a vivid image of a person carrying a oval wooden shield on their back, white ovals and drawings on it, and at the center a blue diamond. That was last night. I just did another , and this time I saw a blue shield, not even thinking of the previous vision. Is something trying to reach out? Or send a message?

Blessed be!

I don’t know anything about Wicca but it’s interesting to me. Can anyone explain to me what it’s about?

Hey all. Feel free to post whatever you feel like here. Chat, share or say whatever is on your mind.

The author is local to my area and was doing a book signing at my local occult shop over the weekend. Its about folk magic in the ozark mountains in Arkansas.

Are there any that have worked for you?

Hi wicca community! I am not a witch. I am 20(f) and live with my sister(22) and father(51). This is going to sound crazy, but I think my mom keeps cursing us.

I know there are some spiritual roots on both sides of my family, so we do some small things like burn sage and keep an altar, but I wouldn't call myself a witch. But because of how weird the situation is, I can only ask for help.

My mom and dad divorced years ago(they still hate each other's guts), and it wasn't until recent years that we started finding her behavior strange, especially since everyone is old enough to realize what goes on behind the scenes. But lately, she's been even weirder.

I won't get too much into detail, but she is now separated from me and my sister, and we are virtually no contact. We are living with our dad while we attend college.

However, for a period of time, she kept showing up at our house unannounced and dropping off odd gifts, like old clothes/jewelry, fruit, and skin care products. After we would use these things, me and my sister started noticing how we would feel unwell, get skin problems, or that emergencies would happen.

We were still seeing her around this time. We stopped using the products/goods and the effects disappeared.

My dad refused to eat or use anything given by her, and nothing would happen to him. We soon threw everything away and things were peaceful for a period of time. Any new gifts we received, we would throw out as well.

Between then and now, there was a falling out with her, and we went virtually no contact, except during family functions and birthdays.

We saw her during thanksgiving last year, and she sowed some discord during the event. She hugged us kind of unnaturally, and at the time I didn't think much of it because we hadn't seen her in a long time. However, the next day we got a 45 day eviction notice because the owner decided to sell.

We moved and didn't tell her our new address because my dad didn't want her "dropping by."

Instead, we have been in contact with our maternal grandma more since she lives in the area(she's the sweetest grandma ever). However, my mom has been talking to my grandma secretly to know when we are at her house and dropping by when we are there since she keeps wanting to see us (even though we told her we wouldn't be talking to her unless she goes to therapy).

Recently, I saw her at my grandma's house again, and she came in for a hug, which is something that she normally wouldn't do. I felt extremely uncomfortable and told her not to touch me, but she did anyway. She also took us to eat, but I was uncomfortable again and couldn't finish the meal. As I'm writing this I realize she was alone with the food for a bit.

I couldn't sleep that night and my sister ended up having a demonic dream. I ended up smudging our house after, and I put salt on my sister's window.

Soon after, another family emergency happened, and flies kept showing up in our new house, even though there was no source.

My sister didn't dream after that, which was good, but I was wondering if the flies mean something specific, because there is nothing rotting and the house is fairly new, and always clean.

Is there something happening? Or am I delusional?

And how do we protect ourselves if it is her? Because we will still see her during family fuctions.

EDIT: Please leave any suggestions below! Greatly appreciated🫶

EDIT 2: Ohh thanks wicca people!!! I understand you're not witches but a religion now! Will be asking questions elsewhere🤠🤠

I’m pretty new to this stuff and I know like nothing but it’s always fascinated me growing up, is there any easy spells I should learn and can learn as a beginner?

I’m Robin, new to the Reddit community. I’ve been a pagan-witch for about 3 and a half years now. I’m in military tech school so I’m trying to currently figure out how to set up an altar, in case any of you have any suggestions that I could do while staying within regulations; that would be great!

I figured this would be fun! I’ve lived in Appalachia my entire life, so i’ve heard some crazy theories! 🤣

What’s y’all’s omens or old wives’ tales that you have heard or believe in?

How can I protect against spiritually invasive family members? Spells, rituals, items, etc. for a permanent solution against someone you’re close to that has invaded your privacy

Apologies for the state of my Altar. What are some basic, minor or daily workings in your repertoire?

Hey witches! I am an eclectic witch just joined this community 👋 I am going get some New Moon Water tonight (it’s a super new moon too😍🌑) Any of you have an tips or just want to say hey that’s cool! Thanks blessed be 🙏

TL;DR: what do i need for a small altar for a friend?

So i'm not wiccan, though i quite fascinated with the belief and practices. I do however have a friend who is quite interested in the belief and especially the witchcraft aspect of wicca. Her birthday is later in spring, and since she's always great at making things for people, i thought i would try my hand at something handmade for her.

I have thought about making a small altar for her, but i have no idea what goes into making one. Google isn't exactly great at giving reliable sources for finding what is traditionally used. So i've gone here Reddit (very reliable, i know) to hear what goes into making such an altar. So far i've read that candles, minerals, bones and sigils are a good choice, but please enlighten me about what would be good for this project.

It should also be said, that i don't intend on disrespecting the belief or believers, so if this is a bad idea, or disrespectful to the religion in any way, i'll just scrap the idea :)

Am I not a Wiccan because I don't believe the Triple Goddess and the Horned God are literally beings? I use it more as representation of how the universe is sacred and I believe that everything has it's spirit, it's energy, which I think is animism. Still finding my place. Would be grateful for any guidance from those with more wisdom than I. Thank you in advance.
