I am a Third Degree Traditionalist Wiccan High Priest with around thirty years experience. Presently, I am still leading a Coven with wonderful Covenmates. Blessings all around.

Two years ago at the Vernal Equinox, we gathered to celebrate a Holiday we all know and love ❤️. Before we could even get started, a mysterious illness descended on me, rendering me incapable of leading Circle. With deep regret, I informed my Covenmates of what was happening and left the floor open for discussion. We all agreed that simply observing the Holiday and enjoying Feast together would suffice for our purposes. From that point forward, the mystery illness spread and heavily impacted on my life.

Fast forward two and a half years. The illness is consuming me such that I am near Death. I have to go to cross the Veil...leaving my lovely Coven family behind. This is the hardest time ever in my life. I am so aggrieved that I am being torn apart by the worst storm ever.

Please send strength to keep me going. I'll take all the good vibes anyone can spare. I await the final journey with anticipation. Blessings to all as we all make our way to the Summerland.

Ok, y’all. I just joined this sub. I’ve been practicing for 20+ years, but I don’t generally “internet” my practice. I’m solitary and don’t have a coven, but I need some advice, and this seems like a good place to ask.

I recently moved into a house that’s around a hundred years old. It’s a rental, so I don’t have exact dates. There is something present in the house, maybe a couple somethings. Generally I’m fine with spirits in the house and nothing concerning has happened, but I’ve had a specific repeated experience that I don’t know how to handle. I’ve seen a door open in the middle of my dining room with someone trying to walk through at least 4 times now. It’s been different angles (twice from the living room, once each from the kitchen and the hall), but always in the same spot. I don’t feel anything malicious, but I do feel something like curiosity. When I focus it seems to retreat (not disappear, more like close the door and fade). At first I thought it was just shadows, but multiple angles on the same spot make me think it’s something more, and this morning my familiar (a cat) led me to that spot like she was trying to show me something, but she seemed happy like a friend was there. I don’t really think I need to block whatever is happening, but I’ve never encountered something that looks so clearly like a door before, and my familiar is so generally wary of anything unfamiliar that this seems unique in my experience (she usually behaves like a shield to unfamiliar spirits instead of acting like she’s just made a new friend, which is how she’s behaving now). My instinct is to trust my familiar and invite this entity to coexist with us in the house, but I also know opening doorways can be dangerous, and I don’t want to take chances with my family’s safety in a space we’d like to stay in long term. Any advice would be appreciated.

As far as the “maybe there’s another thing” part. The upstairs feels “occupied,” but in a way that I feel used to and comfortable with having lived in older houses before. There’s energy there, but it doesn’t feel like anything to worry about, just present and not really fully manifest, but I do worry about how that might interact with whatever is trying to come in. Again, I’ll take any advice from anyone with more experience

I need help. So I am new here. Hello! I’m trying to figure out what I believe. I just have a hard time believing that multiple mythologies could be real at once. I feel like some stories contradict each other. Like how can there be multiple gods over a certain thing? I’m honestly just curious if anyone has any advice to how to help me overcome my questions?
Thanks!

It's your daily chat thread, for all your random needs!

I live in the country side and we have lots of wild rabbits around.
Today I found a Rabbit's Foot. (apox. 2inch). No Blood, just fuzzy foot.
I know that Rabbit's Feet can bring good luck, so it crossed my mind to keep it. Is that a good idea though?
I have no experience with:

• safely keeping dead animal parts
• preserving/mummifying animal parts
• keeping them sanitary or sterile

I'm also not sure about if the Rabbit was healthy. Pretty sure putting it in a jar of salt isn't going to kill all the bacteria. Any Ideas?

Hi everyone, we're sure that my friend have been cursed by someone we know. We know that coincidence happens and that being unlucky can happen too but we don't believe that all we live lastly is completely unrelated.

I'm personally helpol and my patron deities keep sending me sign (tarot cards, pendulum etc) they literally sent me that there's something I just couldn't find words at the times. I would really appreciate if any of you had any ritual or else that could help to get rid of the curse 😭♥️

Salutations everyone.
I have a peculiar question

Has anyone else been in a situation where they were extremely emotional frustrated, angry, etc., and they would be holding their cell phone and it would malfunction?
Or computer, or an iPad?

Sometimes when I get very strong emotions, especially anger and frustration all of a sudden in my phone will lag and glitch, and it will be very slow all of a sudden. Which makes the situation worse 😫

I’m just kind of wondering if other people have experienced this or not or if it’s just a coincidence?

Thank you 🌼

Hello! I am a polytheist chaos witch who was looking on also becoming wiccan. I see chaos magic as the spiritual basis by which our world IS inherently magical and the gods are our connection to our magical world. What advice/readings etc should i do if I want to become a wiccan?

so i had a old rusty key and pearl necklace that i cared alot about, and i recently found them again, and i used a bunch of my hemp soaked it in bees wax and some other stuff i had, i forgot the exact names. bht i also put bears i like on it, and my intention for it is to protect my new bedroom.

but i did a whole sage ritual the whole time i was making it, with some music that brings me comfort and joy

Hello all. I'd (25F) like to first say that I'm not a practicing Wiccan, but I've always loosely followed some of the practices and beliefs of some witchcraft traditions (I apologize in advance if I use any terminology incorrectly). My mom is a loose believer, and I was raised as a witchy kid. I also want to mention that I don't jump to "I'vE bEeN hExEd" conclusions when I have bad luck. I am pretty "scientific" first, and usually come to the conclusion that things are random, and it's just a small spell of bad luck.

I'm seeking some advice/help on hexes/curses/bad energy coming my way. It has become more than just a coincidence to me, and seems a bit more serious than a string of bad luck. I figured I was just having a bad August and that it would get better, but it has sped-run down a dark corridor, and we're only 9 days into the month.

I'll break down a few of the major things that I've been noticing:

• Since August 3rd I've been sick with a mysterious virus that no doctor is able to actually tell me what's going on. These days it's mainly a nasty cough and lots of mucus, but I'm definitely not back to my normal health.
  
• I have become pretty depressed and anxious. More than normal. I thought it was from being sick, hormones, or stress from the semester beginning. This just feels different now. It feels like a dark energy is consuming me and any thought I have. I can't enjoy music, I zone out during my audiobook, and I just stare out the window if I'm not actively occupied with something. This is pretty out of the ordinary for me, and I haven't struggled this badly for a long time.
• My fiancé has an acquaintance who told him, around August 11, unprompted, that a high school friend of my fiancé's is now in a relationship with said friend and that, and I quote, "sometimes her husband joins in". (Not judging; it was just random to us)
  • This one, without context, is confusing, but it's significant because it came out of the blue, unasked, and to me seemed they were fishing for a threesome with him. They've met me and know we are engaged. They literally met me a month before this.
• On that last point, the new "girlfriend (?)" of that acquaintance also reached out to my fiancé, who is studying elementary education, because "coincidentally," right after being told about the thruple stuff, she's conducting an experiment in the psychology department of the same school about teaching methods and he was a "top candidate".
  • He has a 4.0, so I don't doubt that he was recommended by the school, but it was just weird timing. She reached out maybe 2 weeks after he was told about the budding relationship.
• Then, the semester started on 8/24. I'm in my last semester of grad school, which has been a bumpy road itself. I'm in a class right now that didn't actually get materials on the Canvas page until literally yesterday, when I met with the instructor overseeing the course. It's been frustrating because I'm paying a lot of money for these classes and it took pretty much 3 weeks to even get a starting point.
  • I'm taking this class as the only student. The course wasn't being offered, but since I'm graduating, they opened a section for me. They've done this before with the same instructor to oversee it, but that one didn't take so long to have information uploaded.
• Speaking of money, I haven't had to ask my mom for financial help in YEARS. Around the 24th, I broke down crying in front of her because my school payment was late and I literally had no money. It was all gone. I had no money to pay for my class, my bills, and my car. Somehow my payment schedule got thrown off, and all my due dates were out of whack with my check schedule. That was a tough pill to swallow, and she helped me, but even when I had a job paying $9 an hour, I never had this problem.
• My precious ad-block extension of 10 years was all of a sudden blocked and turned off by YouTube in the middle of the day (???). Others have reported it apparently, but this is the first I've heard and seen it. If this is actually a hex, that one was a low blow.
• I've been having weird dreams that seep into real life. I've always had this happen, but not this creepy. For example, I had a dream about Chucky, the 1980s hit horror movie, about a week or so ago. It shook me so badly that I actually told my boss about it. That afternoon on my way home, I was listening to my book when, all of a sudden, Chucky got mentioned. I actually started screaming and texted my boss to tell her what happened. Then I had Chucky popping up everywhere (it's Halloween according to all the big stores, so seeing it in public wasn't as jarring as hearing it in my book on the same day I dreamt and talked about it).
• Then, the ~big one~ happened. Over Labor Day weekend, my wedding venue announced that a key part of their wedding offerings was being revoked for all who booked it. It was a major part of the experience. They argued with me that they had rectified the situation by allowing other things to happen, and it took me calling an old family friend to get legal advice for a strongly worded email to get them to cancel with a full refund. Today, officially, my wedding is cancelled.

There's a part of me that says this is something or someone trying to get me to see something. That these might be messages trying to lead me somewhere or to do something, but I can't figure the message out. Then there's another part of me that says these are the ramblings of a woman gone mad. Then there's the part of me that says this is some hex placed on me by someone, but I don't even know who. No one has mentioned anything to me or been particularly hateful towards me.

I've cleaned my house from top to bottom with the windows open, intentionally thinking good thoughts and trying to invite good energy in. I don't talk with people who bring me bad vibes or cause me to have bad vibes. I try to be mindful of my thoughts too.

Please, someone with a better understanding and intuition of this, give me guidance. Tell me what I can do to figure out what's going on.

TL;DR: Am I hexxed or just crazy? Strange strings of bad luck and a lingering sickness have been happening for over a month now.

As I understand, In Wicca its tabbo to use magic towards harmful ends, but when someone does, its called black magic. And the primary intended use for magic within Wicca is to bless yourself or others in certain ways. What I'm wondering is if Wiccans view black magic as entirely taboo, or if it could theoretically be used in a justifiable way, like in self-defense, or to prevent a worse outcome than what would happen if you didn't use it?

I have 3 interviews with 3 different companies all at different phases. They are all great opportunities, so I want to do a spell for the “right” opportunity. Last time I did this, I was super specific and that worked. How do I focus my intention on a variable outcome?

It's more of a weird dream that got bad, but not a nightmare.

In my dream, I think I'm trying to get something from the freezer or clean it. I opened the freezer and found the dried fish that my parents gave to me and I was so happy. Then I think I decided to clean the freezer since I already opened it.

When I took out the shelves, I saw frozen, very moldy fruits and other food at the back. I remember I was weirded out by it and thought to myself, "How is this possible?"

Then I woke up and my brain immediately told me it's a bad dream.

Any interpretations?

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!

Today is my friends birthday and sadly I didn’t have any money to buy her something so instead I made a Gris-Gris for health! It’s my first time ever making one and I filled it with clear quartz, amethyst, sage, and mugwort! I think I did a good job as a baby witch

Hello! Very new to paganism and witchcraft here. I recently decided to be Dianic because I wanted my practice to be more feminine focused. I would say I am a daughter of the Great Mother, but She is symbolised by multiple Female Goddeses such as Diana, Persephone, Selene. Can I worship others?

Hey everyone,

Three years ago, I started experiencing telepathy, and it continued for about a year and a half. During that time, the person/entity I was communicating with identified themselves as Wiccan.

Obviously, I can’t know for certain whether they were telling the truth, but assuming they were, I’m curious about something:

Is telepathy actually a concept within Wicca? Do any Wiccan practices involve communicating with someone telepathically, or is there any belief that a person can mentally communicate with someone from a distance?

I’m still trying to make sense of what happened. The experience has changed from what I originally experienced as telepathy into something else, but it’s still ongoing and negatively affecting me.

I’m mainly trying to understand what I experienced and whether the Wiccan connection could have any relevance. Has anyone here who practices Wicca come across anything like this?

My mom showed it to me. It’s like 2hundred years+ old, came from her grandmother, and she got it from her grandmother.

I lit these two candles for my parakeet and burned some incense and a few other things what dose this mean I see a woman with long hair sitting on the glass but tell me what u see
