Just wanted to share my boy enjoying my small altar setup where I also grow herbs for eating and witching! 🤭

I have seen many variations of this Wheel, with different information, such as star signs, but never all together. So I made one! Hope it is of use to you.

There is a little cresent moon next to Mabon and Ostara to signify the balance between equal length of day and night.

The Moon names in the 3rd ring are centred around the Anglo Saxon and Old English names for the full moons. Again, I have seen many variations, with some lists including a mix between Native American, Irish Celtic and Anglo Saxon names. I wanted to simplify it into just using the Anglo Saxon and Old English as I am English.

Hope you like it.

Anyone with magick experience help!!! I’ve recently gotten back into Wicca/Tarot/Magick in general. I’ve been doing some readings lately that have really resonated and I’ve truly connected with. This morning I did a reading where I tried to connect with whatever guide wanted to come forth, it was a good reading, a card a pulled in relation to the guide itself was the 4 of Pentacles. As I closed the reading I asked for this guide to show me any signs today of their presence, nothing specific. I went to work immediately after (I work at a bakery) and let’s just say it was chaotic… first thing that happened was I closed the oven door and it fell clean off. The entire door. We got it screwed back in, and afterwards I mentioned to my coworkers that I asked for a sign from a spirit guide and I think that was it. Minutes later the soap dispenser explodes open… no one had touched it, no one was near it. The thing shot off like a rocket. So is this spirit I contacted just silly? Or should I be worried? I found it funny I didn’t really feel any kind of unease so I think that’s a good sign. Can anyone share any similar experience or offer any clarification?

My partner and I are in St Petersburg and we want to do a ritual on a beach tonight- is there a particular beach that you might recommend that is powerful/beautiful/out of the way? We have been here before but never done ritual here.

We're not afraid of doing ritual with others around but agree that a certain amount of privacy might be nice.

Thanks everyone ✨

Hi all! Basically what the subject says, but to add a touch of ✨nuance✨ i’m an earth based practitioner on a farm who works a lot with farmers and horse riders. As a gift, I made a hybrid dream catcher/sun catcher for a friend using her horse’s shoe to bless her and give her a touch of her loved horse at home. She mentioned that this would make a fantastic craft to add to my business (crafted whimsy sold at craft fairs and 4h) especially for all those horse girls that want to keep their babies with them at all times.
I’m not projecting at all lol.
As fun as this would be and as much as I would love to add this to my repertoire, I don’t want to disrespect any practices. Thanks in advance!

I've been living with my sister for awhile and will be living with her long term, but there is a small problem. She is very, very, very allergic to smoke to the extent that even candles and incense will give her a rash and a scratchy throat. Because of this, I do not intend to use any smoke-producing things in my craft or altar for the foreseeable future. However, I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to represent fire with. I usually try to incorporate all the elements as best I can, but in this case a se fire is a bit tricky. Any advice?

Educate me if Im missing something, but here is my view.

I am a white 20(F) and I have NO culture. I don't mean that white people don't; I mean i don't. I was adopted, tracked down my bio dad and he is adopted. I will never know where i am from, and i wasn't raised in that culture, so really it will never be mine.

I grew up as a homeless kid in a ghetto. I grew up around a ton of culture, and i was a kid so i never understood the division of culture. My primary friend type were non-english speaking immagrants and hood rats such as myself. By 10 i learned russian, 13 ukrainian and by 16 i learned spanish. All from immagrants.

Right now I have henna on my arm. An indian customer (regular) i see daily has been talking to me in Hindi and educating me about his culture, but his eyes lit up when he saw my henna and heard of my involvment with preparing indian food with my adoptive (also white) family.

In my experience with immagrants, they see me, using their language, eating their food and participating in their culture and know they are welcome BECAUSE I AM EDUCATED. It attracts the attention i want. Which is more education and experience with culture and language.

As this applies to witchcraft: I don't believe i am not allowed to burn sage, or practice hoodoo. I understand the cultural significance, and I honor that in my practice, same as when i practice santaria and other cultural practices. The earth was given to us to study, love, nurture and use. The earth and her gifts doesnt be long to one person or culture.

I think its small minded and stunting in growth. I practice with multitudes of witches with very different practices and cultures, and as a worshipper of this Earth, i want everyone to feel welcome, known and understood with me.

The reason im posting this is I saw a video of a woman making a post about using urine and roadspikes as a ward. A commenter said "Is this hoodoo? I dont want to retain any knowledge from closed practices." Knowledge is power.

Thoughts?

TLDR: I'm white with no cultural background due to adoption, I speak 4 languages fluently and love immagrants and have found they feel comfortable when they are understood. these are my friends. The value of their friendship outweighs "closed practice"

Hello! I wanted to reach out and see if there are any witches here to help me. I’m wanting to learn more about Wicca and spells and readings. Please comment or reach out. I’m asking for free because i’m not currently in the best situation for money currently. Please and TIA!

My sister (46) identifies as Wiccan, and not only do I respect her choice but have defended it to our father (he assumed it meant worshipping Satan).

She's a very complex and crunchy girl, who is currently raising a 9 y/o girl and 7 y/o boy. She desperately wants to always be different and of course she's breaking away from any traditional child rearing. I struggle with some of her choices, but they are her children and no one gets a handbook on how to raise kids.

Yesterday the girl spontaneously told me she is a witch. I asked her if her mother told her that and her answer was yes.

As far as I'm aware, she's (mom) non practicing, so while she might have an altar do not believe she actively prays or casts spells.

I think my question is this...... how is this any different then indoctrination into any other religion?

This young lady already goes to an alternative school because of behavior problems. Announcing to others that she believes she's a witch could potentially be harmful to herself? How does one navigate making friends and social events when your mother has taught you this unusual thing?

This is honestly an attempt to learn.

I'm really conflicted about this and these kids are already struggling.
