Hello girlies and witches, Since my Saturn 7 1/2 I’ve had multiple mental health crisis’s, since then I’ve been feeling something in me awaken. My sister has always been sensitive, so has my mom and my other maternal family members. I come from a community in India that has ancestral spirits and their worship quite deep rooted. I’ve been seeing things and hearing my name being called everytime the moon is at its least. It’s been making me feel very overwhelmed and I’m having a really difficult time coping with it, I love my ancestors I really am grateful for them, but I can’t seem to find a way to harness whatever is happening to me. I need advice on how to harness this without feeling scared and overwhelmed. I know this sounds selfish, is there a way to harness this ancestral energy in enhancing my physical health, mental health and in my studies.

So i have this one guy friend and we were classmates for 10 years, we both graduated last year and i like him about 1-2 years ago and confessed then and got rejected. Lately even when we both go to different schools we still hangout 1-5 times every month or play games through call or just text. My crush towards him has gotten stronger again, like it's stronger than last time but i don't want to confess again since im scared im reading him wrongly and it will awkward again. We both like witchcraft, astrology and manifestations. I actually made a spell on him last month and a few manifesting works (i know what im doing dw). He has definitely gotten more active with me and i have seen him in my dreams so im wondering if he did something on me too. It all started when i texted him that i have the same personality type as his favourite singer and he replied "no wonder i like you" and when we would hang out to the point it was late night and cold outside he kept saying we both should go home now but then keep talking about something and look at me a lot. He told me i was pretty, cute and beautiful when we took photos. And then today he sent me a tiktok "What goes around in my mind when i see fine shyt" and he barely sents me tiktoks.

I swear, this is all real and validated by multiple eyewitnesses. I cause lights around me to flicker like crazy, and sometimes, the ground I stand on gets warm..physically warm to the touch. Does this have to do with energy? I am not haunted. It happens wherever I go. I have blown out lightbulbs standing under them, multiple ones. I even had to get the electrical checked in my apartment and it was fine, it seems to be connected to me as a person.

Okay, from what I've seen other witches say, you need to work on the goal for the spell you want to manifest. I've been practicing sigil magic but haven't had much luck with it. However, now I sort of understand. you're supposed to act like you already have it or work towards the goal. For example, with a spell for lucid dreams, you still need to actually practice and work toward increasing the likelihood of it happening. But you also need to act like it’s already done as trying to forget about it? all so confusing to me. 😔 like what if you trying to do a spell for enhancing your psychic abilities, how do you work towards for the likelihood for it to possibly happen?

hey everyone!! so i recently was doing a chord cutting spell and right when the twine caught fire my smoke alarms started going off. i immediately blew out my spell and turned off my smoke alarms. i am now wondering if that was the universes way of saying not to do the spell or if i should recast. just to add, i use a fire safety dish, i had a big pitcher of water right next to me, i have been paying attention during the entire spell. i’m just a bit perplexed because this has never happened before.

Hi All! I recently discovered Hedge Witch Healing on Youtube (link below) and I fell sooo in love with her videos. However she only has a few and looks like she stopped posting.

I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for guided meditations/rituals that are similar in style to Hedge Witch Healing?

I visited lapland and bought this witch drum and don't know what the symbols on it mean. I got it as a gift for my family and don't know whether I should give it to them before knowing what the symbols mean. If anyone know anything about it or can help me decode it that would be nice.

Hi, my great great Grandma would give these boxes and we were to “feed” it metal or silver over time & it brings abundance, protection, and health, as we add stuff in the tiny specs formed. Long story short we’re trying to figure out how she got them to grow b/c all of ours have it but my cousin tried doing her own and exactly like ours for some time now and hasn’t been able to grow any. I know it’s a long shot if anyone knows but figured i’d ask!

my girlfriend and i cleaned up our entire apartment today in preparation of my parents coming over. i checked the date a little bit ago and just realized i hadn’t done anything for imbolc!!! im still gonna do my own little ritual later though :)

Hi all!

As the title says, tonight I’m going to burn the things my ex gave to me.

I bought a garden incinerator so it’s all done safely and I’m only burning things that are flammable like letters and old flowers (everything else I’m going to just throw in the bin).

I’m really excited and it feels needed. He was incredibly abusive and narcissistic (I know that word gets thrown around a lot but actually though). He did and said horrible things to me to my face and even more behind my back. The relationship was so bad he even caused me to feel suicidal for a time.

Basically, he’s a horrible person and I want nothing to do with him. I feel free since I broke up with him a few months ago and even freer since I went no contact with him last week but I think burning his stuff will help me feel even better. It feels like something need to do if I’m honest.

I’ve never done this before though and I was wondering if there is a right or wrong way to burn the things an ex has given? I don’t want to accidentally cast an unintended spell.

Is there a protocol for this? Should I set any intention as I do it? Should I cleanse afterwards?

I’ve written a sort-of letter to him to read before I burn the things and I’m going to sage my room tomorrow morning but should I be doing these things?

I work with goddess old and new mainly Hecate this spell I wrote a while back say it with intention and it works every time.

I use this spell with my money bowls and first of the month ritual every month and ever since things have changed for the better.

“Wealth and wisdom, come to me, Flowing freely, endlessly. Goddesses of fortune, old and new, Bless my path, my vision true. Abundance grows with every thought, Success and stability, easily sought. Earth provides, air inspires, Fire drives, water desires. By my words, this power grows, Prosperity flows and endlessly glows. So it is, and so shall be, A life of wealth and harmony.”

Hey guys. Seeking clarity, help, and education here. Thank you.

I wanted to do a communication spell. Wrote my intentions on paper (in blue for communication, etc) put it in water, left to charge under for full moon.... it was cold. It froze. I left it out there for two days. At the time I didn't think much of it, I was like ehhh well maybe this can just act as a symbolic thing: our communication is frozen, but it'll thaw. I let it thaw for a few days, put sigils in candle+herbs, etc, and burned the paper.

No word from the person I had in mind. Though to be fair, the spell was shrouded in unease, anxiety, etc, and that may have interfered.

Did I accidentally cast a freezer spell, and do I now have to do some extracurricular work to undo it? Or did my own anxiety get in the way and blunder plans?

Any advice? The only "thing" I have left of the spell is some wax that melted all weird on the side. Thought about burning it in a wax melt or something thinking it will alleviate some of this feeling of having something "left to do" in me.

This is a confusing time for me and maybe I shouldn't even have cast anything without knowing what I wanted. Even the day of I was like... should I?

I don't even want a communication spell anymore, if I did a freezer, I just want to undo it so things are back to square one. Thanks and I humbly await your input.

hey there! i'd really appreciate any recommendations on books that talk about metaphysics which you enjoyed! could be philosophers, magicians, academic, or anything really. i'm recently particularly interested in the concept of time being an illusion and manifestation - but other esoteric/ metaphysical topics work too!

thank you :)

Hello, I’m new around here and I don’t really know if this is the right place to ask this question or if this goes against the rules of this subreddit so please redirect me to a better suited subreddit if so.

But if anyone is able to, are there any online stores or places that I can look for evil eyes? I want to get one for both me and my mom as a way to protect ourselves from all the bad feelings coming from this year and was wondering where to look.

Hey everyone, I’m a Reddit newbie but not a witch newbie. I’ve been practicing about 20 years on and off. My practice has always been pretty chill. I kind of consider myself a green witch. I meditate a lot, spend time in nature, have lots of plants, and occasionally do some spell work with herbs ect. I also do tarot.

Lately I started listening to a podcast (Styx and Bones) and they talk a lot about deity work. Which is still mostly a mystery to me. Actually it seems like almost every witchy podcast I listen to is talking a lot about which deities they work with. It inspired me to read a book (Persephone’s Pathway) and I’m trying to decide if I’m interested if doing any type of deity work myself.

I read through some of the posts here about it, but I’m just wondering if there are any drawbacks to deity work? I think goddesses like Persephone are amazing, but also intimidating. I also don’t want to spend all my witchy time trying to appease deities with offerings and prayers so I guess there’s that too. I’m in my 30s and life is busy so I have maybe 30 minutes a day and usually I use that time to meditate, be in nature, or read a witchy book to expand my knowledge and occasionally do spell work.

Anyways I’d love to hear experiences from witches who have both decided to work with deities and those who haven’t. Sorry for the long post.

TL;dr what are the pros and cons of deity work in witchcraft?

I'm not smudging it, I don't have the abalone shell, I don't know how to smudge and I don't intend too. I'm growing the sage from seeds so I would assume that means it's mine to bundle and burn to get the bad energy out of my room if that's what I want too do with it. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Background information: I'm white, I don't know what my ancestory is and I don't quite remember what kind of sage I'm growing, I bought the packet of seeds from the dollar tree and despite my green thumb I didn't really expect diddly squat to grow but they've broken the soil now so I'm curious.

I always predict things. My husband is convinced I have like some weird 6th sense. Example. We have rental houses. 5 of them. I had a dream last summer that ac units were gonna go out. It felt so real. So the next morning I told my husband “you need to save money we are gonna need to replace some ac units” he laughed. Within the next two weeks EVERY SINGLE AC UNIT IN 5 HOUSES had to be replaced. Another example. Last night he had me adding up numbers on my phone for the Rentals. Something I do regularly. I never screenshot the results. Last night I decided I needed to. This morning the dog ate all the numbers but since I had all the screenshots it was ok.

A more sinister example - My husbands brother always missed work and was late. For years. Always happened. We would go over and check on him. Never a huge deal. One day my husband called and said his brother missed work again. Normal day. I said go over there but don’t let your mom go- I knew something was wrong even though it was the same as every other time. So he sent his other brother there to check on him. He was dead.

Stuff like this happens constantly. Little things. Big things. I always know and I have no idea how.

So im planning on practicing different types of witchcraft, with one of them being tied to my cultural heritage - Brujeria

My question is that I want incorporate different practices on Witchcraft that is outside of that cultural practice, such as practices from Wicca, so long as the intent is purely meant to be spiritual, I should be fine? Im aware of Eclectic Witches but I am unsure if that fits or not.

So I had this grimoire/cookbook that my mother gave me in the early 2000s but my dad took it from me a few years back so I’m trying to figure out the name so I can buy a new copy! The cover I believe was a pumpkin, vampire, witch, and skeleton dancing in a circle and holding hands in a graveyard maybe? It was a cute 90s art style and the trim of the book was purple. It had a mix of recipes, spells, and holiday information. I’ve been looking for it forever but can’t seem to find it because I can’t for the life of me remember the title. I even went on a “search by cover” website.

I’m a beginner who’s done as much research as possible on cord cutting, as I’m about to break up with someone I keep getting back together with, and I really want this to be the last time. I need to break this cycle.

All that to say, in my research on cord cutting rituals, I’ve seen that it’s good practice to block them everywhere, along with getting rid of all their things. I will be mailing their things back to them and disposing of any pictures of us together.

My question is: Am I able to keep things that they’ve given me? Or will that encourage the cord to reform and grow back? If so, would I be able to cleanse these items to get rid of this person’s presence? Or should I get rid of those things altogether?

** I did my best to follow the sub’s rules in this post but please take down if I’ve broken any **

someone nice and kind to answer my question if i can do a love spell myself

I’ve done shadow work btw, cleanse, really believe it 100% that it will come true. Always listening to high vibrations, still didn’t work. I made a spell to pass my exam and had a dream about it. I saw green rainbows, i thought it’s working. Turns out, i didn’t pass the exam (despite having 8 hours of study.) I did a love spell and i think it backfired bc i got sick for one week. Then I made a communication spell that i will get accepted to my dream school, but i was not selected.

Im a baby witch after all, but right now I feel so unmotivated to honing my craft.

Glamour and protection seems to be working tho but other spells don’t work so im confused

So I’m having some problems with my ex. We’re currently working on our relationship, I already did some manifesting and a love spell. Now, he heard some rumours about me, while we were on a break, that are definitely not true. He doesn’t want to tell me what he heard, he brushes it off every time I ask him but it’s obvious he’s bothered by something. For example last night while I was sleeping he was sending me some tiktoks and one of them was “when she does something that shows you she’s just like every other girl” and just things like that. Now, I want to do a spell to fix things, which spell should I use? Domination, communication, tame him? Please help, I’m so lost.

Looking to move into the space of a transformative coach to help people transition out of life issues, trauma and bad relationships.

So I apologize if this is stupid to ask or the wrong sub to ask ir whatever but I had an interesting experience and I’d like to get everyone’s take on it. A while back I was getting ready to go out and lost my evil eye bracelet. I just figured it had broken but about half an hour later I found it in the trash can , unbroken. I wasn’t under the influence of anything and all I can assume is it somehow fell of when I went to throw something away but I can’t believe I didn’t like notice it come off my arm. I know in cases of it breaking it’s symbolic of it having done its work but what are your feelings on this situation? I’m sorry I know this sounds stupid of me to ask but it happened a while ago and it’s just been on my mind since ! I have not worn the bracelet again however i have kept it

Ok so. I’m beginning this religion. Been doing it for a month now. I worship Apollon, Aphrodite, and Selene. I’m not allowed to have candles in my room and I only have an alter for Aphrodite in real life curently. I have made some alters online for them but I was wondering. Since I can’t use candles how do I know if they like their stuff? Or if they want to talk.

I have been having visions of my own end. It is decapitation , execution style. Naturally, it has been a great source of anxiety as I have no idea how & when it will happen.
