We practice alone, or in groups. We practice witchcraft.

Wicca is a modern neopagan religion that is based on ancient pagan beliefs. It's an earth-based religion that traditionally believes in a God and Goddess as representative of a greater pantheistic godhead.
Wicca views the spiritual and material worlds as overlapping: the gods are not distant beings but entities whose presence we can experience. This religion stresses personal experience with divinity and developing greater harmony with the larger world. Wiccans view the universe as the product of complementary opposites in a system roughly akin to the Chinese concept of yin and yang.
Wicca includes a system of ethics and teaches that we all are ultimately responsible for our own actions. We believe in gods. We believe in magic. We believe in multiple realities. We practice alone, or in groups. We practice witchcraft.

Just wanted to share my setup.
It sounds stupid, but I was eating some leftovers and thought, "hey, I wonder if the Goddess and God would want some as a thanks for being very understanding, since I've only been Wiccan for six months." Am I weird, or would you do the same?
I'm pretty sure someone I know hexed me or put a spell I'm experiencing absurd bad luck for a while.anything I can protect myself?I have no idea what I can do in this situation pls help.
hello, i’m very new to spell work and purchased a starter kit on etsy a while back. I have done some protections spells etc. my pa recent passed and I will be getting some of his ashes and i’m wondering if there is a respectful and safe way to honour him in a jar/ candle waxing it? i’m very lost and would just love some help and guidance. much love and appreciation
My girlfriend had a dream about cernunnos again. But this time it was really weird. My mom invited me to go to her house on December 20th and 21st. To watch the house they live in, it's a house I helped them build surrounded by woods but has a clear large area around the house. With plenty of animals like horses and cows. It supposedly probably was Indian land historically. But anyways my girlfriend just had this dream. I was in the living room watching tv I heard her wake up and she told me to come here so I did. She tells me about this dream she had with cernunnos in it. Which isn't the first time she's had a dream with him in it. But it's been at least a month since she's had a dream about it. But anyways back to the dream, she told me how she was in this empty house in the woods. And there were a decent amount of windows. But it was supposedly her by herself. She looks out the window and she sees cernunnos looking at her through the window. Something about the glass was weird and she couldn't help but be amazed / shocked. It sounded like the creature was absorbing her focus and it spoke to her and said that the night of the winter solstice she would join him and be her bride. I looked it up and the winter solstice is the same day of December 21st of this year and I was going to watch my mom's house. Which is a wood house in the forest surrounded by nature and kinda isolated. Just thought it was weird but that's basically it. Why is this so shockingly coincidental.
Really good witchy movie check it out!
Hey all. Feel free to post whatever you feel like here. Chat, share or say whatever is on your mind.
Hi everyone! So, I used to use incense for a bi-monthly Clense for warding out unwanted entities and energies but I currently live with my dad and brother. Both claim incense gives them migraines so I'm looking for a scented candle to use instead!
I have a hate group following me around and they are using various castings on me, throwing sand in my hair to make it fall out, spitting at my lips to shrink the genitals, putting castings on grocery items at store to swell my abdomen up and add high blood pressure. how i remove/cleanse/rebuke these occult attacks ?
My mom was drinking matcha (I know they aren’t leaves but the powder left something) but we couldn’t help but be startled that there’s an image of a face in it. Is there any meaning here?

Hello, Have squares ever been used in wicca instead of circles for protection?
I just setup my Hekate altar. After being Christian for awhile, many things went wrong in my life, just base on my own spiritual experience and nothing against the religion. So I decided to came home to the Goddess. And she answered through the tarot two of cups.
I guess just looking for people to talk to about the transformation of this story throughout history. A shepherd and divine feminine, which would inspire the mythology of Cypris Astarte/Aphrodite's Adonis and Phyrigian (Turkey) Cybele's Attis. Some of her more derogatory names excluded. Also looking to learn/talk about certain Wiccan symbolism.
Forigive me, I don't know much.
My friend has been practicing wicca for a little while now, and has been collecting their first set of (quite small) throwing bones.
I'm really excited for them, and I would love to give them a nice, respectful vessel for storing the bones.
What would you suggest? Is any nice container fine? Or is this something that is more personal and I should leave up to my friend to acquire?
Thanks in advance!
Hi, I recently had a relationship that I asked for from a spell (I should’ve been careful for what I wish for.) Long story short, our relationship ended after we argued heavily and I said something I regret. Is it possible that I pissed off a spirit so much that now it’s messing with my romantic life in some way? What do I do to remove this bad luck or so? It’s been almost a year since Ive had any romantic bond with anyone.
I'm trying to put info in my Book of Shadows but I'm so overwhelmed by all the information out there. Right now, I'm trying put together a section on herbal correspondances. At first I was listing the herbs and their purposes but there are literally THOUSANDS of herbs and plants in the world. Do I put all of them? Do I just pick out a handful? Which ones are important enough/the most basic? Do I organize by name of herb or by purpose? Organizing by purpose was its own headache (is there a difference between purification and cleansing? Should 'mends a broken heart' be considered 'love', 'healing', or its own line?) Should I clarify whether the herb is used an incense, tea, or essential oil? Should I make separate pages for each (one page of incenses, one page of oils, etc)?
At this point, those PDF BOS pages you can buy/print from Etsy are looking REALLY good.
Why yes, I do have ADHD and overthink everything, why do you ask?
Received this as a gift. Was bought from a wiccan in New Orleans. The person who bought it does not remember anything about it or what purpose it had.
Does anyone know what this is used for or purpose?
Good day, good witches! Feel free to use this thread to chat, share, boast or just unload in.
I've kept a money bowl for a while now and usually refresh/redo it at the beginning of each month. Yesterday (which incidentally was my last work shift of the month) I lit the candle and went about my business. The entire bowl caught fire and burned all of the cash offerings from the month beyond recognition. Obviously my fire safety was lax and the ultimate cause of this, but I'm wondering if there could also be a deeper meaning. It was a fair bit of money and things are pretty financially tight for me right now. Is this a good or bad omen? I don't know how to interpret it. I haven't been able to find much, but read someone say that it means the bowl has been "set in motion."
***A couple hours later, while I was at work, an ex boyfriend I haven't talked to in years came into my job and handed my boss ~$30 cash, said to give it to me, and left without any explanation. It is the most bamboozling thing that has happened to me in a long, long time, and I cannot help but assume these two events are related.
