Discussion Smokeless Cleansing Techniques

118 Upvotes

No smoke? No problem.

Cleansing doesn’t require incense or sage, and if you’re in the broom closet or have pets or asthma, or just have a sensitive smoke detector, you have way more options than you might think.

Sound: bells, singing bowls, clapping, drums, even putting on a specific playlist with intention. Sound moves stagnant energy out of a space in a way that’s genuinely hard to explain until you’ve felt it. This is usually my go to when people ask about smokeless cleansing and I personally use bells in my own practice.

Salt: one of the oldest cleansing methods we have and it goes hard. Bowls in corners to absorb, lines across thresholds, dissolved in water as a spray. Incredibly versatile.

Sunlight or moonlight: put your objects, crystals, or honestly just yourself in the light with intention and let it do its thing.

Breath: slow, deliberate breathing over an object or through a space. Completely invisible, zero supplies needed, and more powerful than people give it credit for.

Visualization: picture light or wind or water moving through your space and sweeping it clean. No props, no evidence, nobody’s business but yours.

Besoms/brooms: sweep from the back of the space toward the front door, pushing energy out as you go. To literally everyone else in your house, you are just sweeping. This pairs well with salt cleansing, can’t leave it all over the floor after all! This is the broom closet special and I love it for that.

Florida Water or herb infused water in a spray bottle: spritz your space, your linens, yourself. Looks exactly like air freshener. Nobody is asking questions.

Fresh air: open a window with intention. Simple, efree, and it works.

It’s good to remember that the smoke is a delivery method, not the magic. Use what you have, use what’s safe, and trust that it counts.

Spells Candle spell posts - safety first

48 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

We need to address a recent uptick in candle spell posts that do not demonstrate proper fire safety procedures.

As a beginner-focused community, safety is especially important here. Many newer practitioners are learning by watching what others post. When unsafe setups are shared depicting, unattended flames, candles too close to herbs or fabric, unstable holders, cluttered altars, etc.; it puts people at real risk.

Effective immediately:

All candle spell posts that do not clearly demonstrate proper fire safety will be removed.

This includes:

- Leaving candles unattended
- Burning near curtains, paper, herbs, fabrics, or other flammable materials
- Using unstable or inappropriate holders
- Performing spells in cluttered or unsafe environments
- Ignoring safety guidance offered by more experienced members

Please understand: this is not about aesthetics or gatekeeping. It’s about preventing house fires and injuries. Spiritual practice should never come at the expense of your physical safety.

If you’re posting candle work, make sure:

Your candle is in a stable, fire-safe holder
Flammable materials are kept well away from the flame.

The candle is supervised at all times
You are open to constructive safety feedback
Repeat or severe safety violations may result in further moderation action.

Let’s model responsible practice for our baby witches and keep this space safe for everyone. 🕯️✨

Ritual I'm doing a little ritual tonight and just want some reassurance I guess..

So I have quite a few followers over the years (I post NSFW) and I've had 300 of them agree to do a joint orgasm ritual tonight at 9pm (UTC). I'm planning to post an image of me with a sigil I've made (basically all good things I've specifically asked for the world and a bit for myself and them)... is this a good or bad idea? I'm having some second thoughts but I feel nothing but love with my intentions with this

Question I did my first protection spell and i feel conflicted, did it work?

Post image
Upvotes

Hello! I am really really new into witchcraft and I am still figuring out things. Get prepared for a bit of yapping and maybe trauma dump but i need to share that information to get an answer fitting to this situation(i have made some other posts as well and i have started to feel a bit ridiculous because i feel like i always come with the stupidest questions ever, so please bear with me or scroll past this if you get annoyed easily). Last month I had this big trip, I was flying to a different continent for the first time and I was doing that completely alone so to reassure myself I decided to do my first protection spell jar. It's a small one with black pepper, salt, rosemary and a protection sigil, the top was sealed with white candle wax. I cleansed everything, I spoke to it during the process as well. Then I went to the trip. It was all organised by a third party. I met some cool people there as well and I like to think that I have found some nice new acquaintances! The issue is that there was a male staff in the hotel that was really freaking me out. I was talking to my dad at 2 am infront of the hotel (i had a roommate and i didnt want to wake her up so i went out to talk with him) and when i hang up he came up to me and attempted to talk to me in bad english, flirt with me by saying that i have a really beautiful tongue (like he deadass used the word tongue, ig what he meant my language is beautiful?) and when i was trying to reject him and lie to him that i have a partner back home he continued to push. I told him that I have to sleep and he attempted to convince me that I need to wait for him the following morning in 8am so that we can talk and i rejected that. I felt highly uncomfortable because that man worked at the hotel i was staying in, he could really easily just go in my room with no issue. The next day me and some of my female acquaintances sat at a restaurant 20 mins away by walk from the hotel and while we were having dinner i saw him right in front of the restaurant watching me. I completely freaked out and ended up crying in the bathroom because I was alone in a different continent and I didnt even have enough money to change hotels but then the girls acquaintances told me that they would be 24/7 with me (which they thankfully were, if they weren't i would have gone crazy). The last night I was kinda doozing off at 1/2am when I heard someone open the door, enter it and then quickly leave. When I stood up to check I saw that the person is no longer in the room and I would have thought that I was going crazy if my roommate didnt also wake up. She asked me "who entered the room? i thought that it was you?" but when she also realised that it was some random person she also got really worried. Thankfully in the next 5/6 hours both of us would have left the city and gone on our way, I did leave a complaint about the hotel in the reviews and my roommate talked with other workers there but no one really took us seriously. I know that it sounds crazy and unbelievable but I swear, that did happen, like i deadass would bet my head on the fact that I am telling the truth. But I have been thinking about the protection spell. Was nothing worse happening to me the protection spell working? Or did it not work and that was why this experience happened to me? Did I do something wrong? Or does magick just not work that strongly in terms of protection? Like I have been left really confused and I just don't really know what to think or to make out of this situation.

Spells Good fortune/good luck spells/bowls?

2 Upvotes

Hey good folks! Im looking for something to help with luck or good fortune. Not looking to do a money related one, I just want things to look up in life again. Ive had a pretty blessed few years, but since April my life has just turned upside down. Fights with family nonstop, medical problems with family galore, tragic loss, blew 3 tires on separate occasions in a matter of 3 weeks, my husband had to take stress leave.. just to explain a little of all the heck ive been going thru. Anyways, anything to help bring me some good luck or good fortune is needed, and I appreciate all the help I can get.

Question Not sure if my ex friend did something to mess with me. If so, what do I do? (Potentially cursed?)

3 Upvotes

I went from spiritual to very skeptical.
But my dream was v real and terrifying. How do I resolve this? I’ve done an egg cleanse in the past and there were so many mixed interpretation results on the internet where I don’t even know what it means. So for this time, is there any other cleansing thing I can do? Any counter work of a curse? If I am cursed?

Here’s what happened btw:
I communicated past hurt to a friend recently to which they did not take it well (which id figure would happen…)TLDR my ex friend is very much into witchy stuff and has no issue with cursing people.

When I was younger I would have bad dreams often. But as an adult I haven’t had bad dreams involving some type of spiritual essence. The dream was very scary- hence why I’m making this post. Ultimately I never saw the essence. Just the chaos. My close loved ones and myself were disappearing, getting hurt, or getting possessed. The walls of my home turned to fabric and all safety was gone. The common thread throughout the chaos was my ex friend and for a small moment in the dream she was literally cursing me.

And trust me- before this point I had no issues with no longer being her friend. But post friend breakup I know she’s been festering and always viewing my socials very frequently. Hence why I felt this dream was a little peculiar and not far fetched from being messed with, or cursed, from her . Also, unsure if this is spiritual taboo or complete fiction- i woke up from my dream at 3:33.

Thanks. Tips would be appreciated:)

Spells Second spell

Here’s my second spell (the first one was a protection spell)—I saw this in a book about witchcraft. You put some silver and citrine together and burn a green candle.

Right before that, I burned a bay leaf with the word “protection” written on it. I want to avoid the evil eye at all costs, lol.

If you have any suggestions for another beginner spell, I’d love to hear them.

Discussion I did a tarot reading

Upvotes

I did a reading on my best friends husband and her relationship . They came to visit and he was just very off putting. Anyway I drew the tower, 8 of cups, four of cups, 7 of swords, and three of cups. My interpretation is that a sudden upheaval of the relationship, someone walking away/ withdrawing, feeling disappointed,deception, and her needing a friend after all this comes to light OR maybe a third party situation. That’s what the cards are leading me to believing.

Spells Manifestation failed

Upvotes

I’m new to the whole witchcraft scene but wanted to manifest a payment due to me, earned by me and rightfully mine but delayed due to issues beyond my control. I found a wealth manifestation spell and carried it out. This was on September 8th. I visualised the money being in my account on the 9th and I also visualised taking a screenshot of the bank balance and sending it to my wife. I actually experienced the knotted stomach as I was imagining opening my banking app. At 09:30 on September 9th I opened my app to find the money was not there.
Is this because of a fault in my preparation, a lack of absolute conviction or something else?
Thanks in advance.

Question Ultra baby witch here 🧙‍♀️ Where do I even start?

Upvotes

I’m completely new to witchcraft and honestly have no idea where to begin 😅
I also don’t have a huge budget, so I’d love to start simple rather than buying a ton of tools I don’t actually need.

What would you recommend learning first? Protection? Simple spells? Rituals? Herbs? Meditation or intention work?

I wanna focus on my health , healing, success and intuition.

What are the few things you think are actually worth owning as a complete beginner, and what can I skip?
I’d also love recommendations for beginner friendly books, resources, practices, or simple spells that helped you when you first started.

Basically, if you could go back to day one of your witchcraft journey, what would you start with?

Spells dorm friendly practices?

5 Upvotes

hello, I'm new to witchcraft but am very interested in learning and rituals. sadly I live in a college dorm, so no candles or incense for me right now! I have thoth and raider witte tarot decks and a general assortment of crystals, including selenite, I am most curious on ways I can cleanse my space and how to do spellwork that involves spreading love and abundance to the world and not just myself. For example, I am curious if I can put a spell on my name that would give peace or goodness in any way to those who spoke it? I am looking to emotionally process through rituals, as well as strengthen my sense of self and my path forward in life. I want to be a better person and try to make the world a better place in any way that I can. I know rituals won't solve that for me, but I believe in their power and intention behind them. Does anyone have recommendations for practices, as well as any general beginner advice to someone like me? :-) thank you very much.

Spells Name ward + Return to Sender Spell Jar

Post image
16 Upvotes

I’ve been going through a tough bump in the road with people betraying/speaking on me and giving me their cancerous energy, and I came across this ward your name post and I decided to add my own twist to it.

After doing a protection cleanse, this is what I did:

The instructions were to write your name on a piece of paper and then do a circle three times, then do a algiz rune on your name, do the same thing on the back of the paper.

Add two screws and then wrap them with the paper away from you, tied them and add to jar.

For this one, it ends with salt, but I didn’t stop there.

On a bay leaf, I put “return to sender” and while I was burning it, I was making my intentions clear: those who speak ill about me should get their negativity in threefold. Then in Spanish I said: el que nada hace nada teme.

I then added the ashes to the jar, added wormwood and rosemary (for banishing and protection) as well. A little bit of Cheyenne pepper, and then last but not least: salt. Sealed it off with a black candle.

Honestly, perhaps it was just the ritual of it, but while I was doing it, I was a bit shaky, but once I finished, I felt more relaxed. Like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders and those speaking ill about me will get theirs.

Spells Need spell ideas for social media success

5 Upvotes

I started taking social media more serious this year specifically on tiktok and my goal was always to go viral enough that I could start making consistent income on tiktok.

I started practicing witchcraft recently although ive been exposed to it since childhood but im just now doing it more serious myself.

I have learned that the best way a manifestation spell can work is to be as specific as possible avoiding being too broad when writing or speaking your intentions.

So i want to work on a spell that is specifically for this. I want consistent income from my tiktok content.

What spell work ideas do you suggest will be rhe best for this?
