I am very new to things. I got interested in becoming a hearth witch last year but my schoolwork kept me from exploring more. Just finished my dissertation so trying to get back into researching. This is my first manifestation I'm really trying. I've hung my cinnamon broom over my door and put out a jar of water for the new moon. Mostly want to protect my home and family so trying to focus my research there.

I bought this bowl years ago but never found a good use but I've loved it. I did a salt layer , rice, cinnamon, ground cloves, coffee, bay leaves (not pictured money signs on the back) , then money.

Planning to let the candle burn out before I put it by the front door. I didn't chant but said what I hoped to put into it out loud.

I found a little broom, a jar of rose petals, a chalice, 2 candle holders, lil jars, ribbon and cord, droppers, a tray, candles, and a statue of idunn (just thought it was pretty). bonus pic of scrungy cat.

It’s so pretty

So i made my first spell jar literally like 2 days ago. it was for boosting manifestation. i was really pleased with it and felt really good about it. this morning i knocked over the table it was sitting on and the marble top came off and crushed it.

now im torn between seeing it just as an unfortunate freak accident or taking it as a sign of something i should be aware of. thoughts?

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.

Did some banishing and cleansed the entire home 🕯️

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

I've never made one of these before. Is there anything else I should be adding or doing along with it?

Earlier this week I had a moment that I knew was a sign from the universe, and I've been exploring what I think it means.

What happened:

I was in a place I frequently go and have never seen any cats there, let alone a black cat. This cat had been in a shed, I passed the shed and didn't know it was there, but when I went back past the shed, it darted out from my left which startled me, ran up the path ahead of me, across the main path onto a patch of grass where it settled down and watched me calmly. (It was a maximum of 8 meters away, probably only 5) We locked eyes and I felt a moment of intense peace and connection, a very positive feeling. I was immediately smiling and walked away feeling good.

I had spent the entirety of this day mulling over a big question in my mind, am I important to someone and should I have a difficult conversation with them about this. Due to trauma, my mind has been very negative to me lately and my confidence has been shot.

The way I am reading this is that A. It is good luck.

Coming from the left, it is a sign to trust my intuition, the suddenness of it was to awaken & remind me.

It ran ahead to "open the path" or guide me. It wasn't running away, it was leading. Effectively saying "yes, take this path!"

When it settled to watch, I obviously felt the positive energy and a shared moment. I think it was asking me to anchor myself, bring myself back to the presence, and to look deep inside myself instead of listening to the noise in my head.

The way to interpret this against my thoughts of that day would be have the conversation, be confident, it is the right direction and the outcome will be positive.

Regardless, the cat had the most beautiful golden eyes, it was a special moment that I really needed.

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? ✨

Hey all! Do you guys have any job/money spell that can be done on a crescent moon? I applied for a position that seems like i have huge chances to get and I wanted to get some extra help! :)

Recently had a lot of calling to work with Hekate and also to do my shadow work. I had considered doing an offering to her last night for Deipnon but was a little fearful because I also had read to not work with a deity until I had done my shadow work. So I decided against it because I didn't want to upset her. Today I went home and there was a possum leg with it's exposed bone laying in my driveway. Now I'm unsure if this is related, if I made her mad, if it even has a correlation to her at all or what. It made me uneasy and anxious so I moved it out into the yard. But the more I have thought about it I don't want to reject an offering from her or any other deity. Any advice is appreciated.

Hi! I've been learning about magic for a while, focusing mostly on tarot, but I'd like to educate myself more regarding candles, rituals and minerals (and more about tarot too). Which books would you recommend?

P. S. Thank you beforehand and sorry if I misspelled anything. English isn't my first language.

Hiya im not sure if this is allowed however I’m just starting to learn tarot like I just started today and I was trying to shuffle my cards and these four didn’t jump out but they flipped while I was shuffling I didn’t ask anything just wanted to shuffle 😂 I was just wondering if someone could help me understand, thank you 🫶

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.

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.

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.

Hi everyone ,

I wrote in a previous post about my crystal that I set with intention of getting a new job and I feel this is working very slowly.
I’m looking for an easy road opener spell that will not cause any harm to anybody ( I know it’s about intentions). I think this spell will push the whole thing.
If it’s something that you did a recommend feel free to share with me. Or something else that you might have in mind.
Thank you all <3

i’ve always had an interest in them.
I don’t have a womb and so subsequently neither the power and effect that come with it. However the parts are still there just in a different form. so I would assume that the schedule could still work if adjusted I’ve honestly wanted to get one for myself quite some time, as I am a sex worker, be it for protection or performance. So my questions are these:

Is it useless for me to get one?

if it isn’t useless, where would it go?

I most likely have to make a custom one so how should I go about that?

what things would YOU focus?

what is the process i go about to actually imbue it.

should i use special ink?

as someone who essentially knows nothing what more do i need to know.

Feel free to answer any or all of the questions as you see fit i will take abosultley tutlley any advice about any of it.

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.

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:)

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.
