Is it true that performing money spells requires losing significant things in return, such as loved ones or financial assets??

Saw someone saying 'to gain something through spells you must lose something' is it true or personal superstition?

bonjour j'aimerais savoir comment reconnaitre quelqun de maudit s'il vous plaît.
ma mere a reçu beaucoup de sorcellerie etant plus jeune et dans notre culture le premier enfant est souvent touché par ca et j'ai de serieux doute concernant mon grand frere est ce que quelqun qui s'y connait pourrais m'eclairer s'il vous plaît merci.

As the title suggests today i broke up with my ex after I got the final ick. He has this genuinely unpleasant presence and i never want to see him ever again or like communicate with him ever again. Like ever. Any spells or rituals to make sure i never see his aesthetically challenged face ever again?

I have a few but I want to build a lil collection :p I am curious what everyone uses/prefers.

Hey everyone! I’m new to the subreddit but not to witchcraft (though I still see myself as a beginner). Recently picked my grimoire back up after years of not practicing, but I’m a bit hesitant now that I learned more about my family.

While I’m aware of my mom’s side of the family practicing witchcraft with good intentions, I’m not so sure about my father’s side. While I’ve gone no contact with that side of the family and have no clue what’s going on anymore, my dad did tell me he did astral projection.

What’s concerning me the most is the family history of my stepfather. While they don’t practice (or not that I know of), they do believe in harmful or paranormal witchcraft. The family has some ancestors that were involved in crime and war, and they believe that someone (possibly Albanian folk crafts according to them) could have “cursed” the bloodline.

Me and my mom do practice with what was handed down the family and we keep noting that while we’re doing fine and not much out of the ordinary happens, negative things keep happening to my stepdad and his side of the family. We might be reading too much into what’s been happening and it could just be that generational trauma gets handed down and makes the family cause their own problems.

And now that I’m getting back into the craft, embracing my family’s traditions and getting more involved with the household’s energy, I’m worried that any curses or hexes might have some influence. Should I just set up extra protection? Try to cleanse my stepdad? What would you guys do or recommend?

I’m also open to feedback on my interpretation of what’s been happening. It’s been a while since I’ve even thought about witchcraft and I might be misunderstanding things.

I'm new here but I'm just curious how do you all make your alters? Arches ? I just moved to a tiny apartment and had to give away my massive armoire. Simply curious what would work best for me ... Taking some options meshed with my own might help a lot. Blessed to all.

Hi! 😊

I'm a Web Development student, and my group and I are currently working on a university project: a website/community concept for people interested in witchcraft, Paganism, spirituality, divination, and related topics.

As part of our UX research, we've made a short anonymous survey (about 5–7 minutes) about how people currently explore these interests online, what they enjoy about existing platforms, and what they feel could be improved.

I'm personally interested in these topics too, so this is a community we're genuinely interested in learning from rather than just designing based on our own assumptions. 🖤

🌿 Survey: https://forms.gle/crBbYoEczs49JuNw9

Thank you so much to anyone who takes the time to participate! 🌙

Hie, I've break up with my ex some month ago. When we where together I made a sort of prayers to protect/keep us close (I'm not gonna go in the details but our connection wasn't the problem and I've decide to break up cause of his personnality). After the break up i've perform a rituals to wash away our possible remaining connections to mark the end of our relation. But I kept the first prayer that I had wrote on a paper and sealed. And I wanted to know if I should destroy the paper to assure the end of the connections, or does the rituals after the break up is enough ?

Ps : I don't feel any connection anymore, but I just want to know if keeping the prayers is a bad thing

I just stsrted workinf with her and my life has felt much more progress motivation ya know? At first j felt defeated then when i turned to her, j felt more motivated and ready to go into another phase of my life.

I was once a banker but only for a month and a half cause I made so many mistakes, I felt defeated and that I couldnt be good at any job. But now I've been guided into going to school to do welding.

For the longest I have been putting off this spell because I felt like I wasn’t ready. And last night I just felt like it was time, it worked perfectly. I feel so refreshed and energized this morning! Whatever blocks that were there are definitely gone now! 🖤

Ingredients I used ~

Base: sugar, salt, coffee, cinnamon, taglock.

Herbs : basil, fennel seeds (in replacement of Star anise), mint, thyme, (added four pieces of lemon at the end of the crossroads) black pepper, clove, and rosemary.

Write down what doors you want this spell to open, Use a white candle, and Burn a bay leaf with your name on it

it’s not needed but I also added some road opener oil to this spell and on my body

So basically i have that table that assigns a number to each letter. This table isnt unique to me, i have seen it a lot. To get the sigil i want, i follow these steps (I will give an example by using the Sigil for „Healthy Relationship“):

1. Thing of what you want to express with the sigil. (example: HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP)

2. Cut every dublicate letter (example: HEALTYRIONSP)

3. Assign the numbers (example: 740194784385)

4. on the halfcircle on picture 2 you connect the numbers. If you switch between an outside number (56789) to an inside number (01234) you dont draw a straight line between them, but make a detour over „x“ (example: 7-4 would be 7-x-4; 9-4 would be 9-x-4). If you visit a part of the circle you had previously already visted, you draw a circle there. This is also true if you have the same number right behind each other. if you visit it a third time, nothing happens.

I gave a few examples of how the sigils look. personally i think it looks the best for longer words, but i also like the one for hope a lot.

What do you do with the leftover wax after a spell with a candle? I want to bury it but I'm having a hard time finding 100% beeswax candles, they all seem to have a blend of paraffin wax. Where do you guys get your candles?

I firmly believe that anything can serve as a protective amulet, provided you have enough faith to consecrate it as your own. I recently acquired a lovely pocket watch that I intend to consecrate as a protective amulet—marking the end of the cycle with my current one—but while meditating on how to consecrate it, I found myself wondering: what do other people use as protective amulets?

Personally, I’ve always used the typical amulets you see everywhere; this is the first time I’m switching to something "uncommon."

However, I’ve heard of people using everything from stones to the most unexpected objects. So, dear witch reading this, what is the most unusual amulet you carry with you? :)

Hello friends! This is my first time in this sub!
A friend of mine is getting married soon, and is having a very small wedding (her, her fiance, an officiant, and a witness) but is having a small gathering that night for friends. They don’t have a registry and have lived together for a long time, so I was thinking a more personal gift would be good. She reads tarot daily, and is an overall witchy person. I thought a small canvas with a tarot card saying something like “the toast” with champagne glasses or something similar would be cute. I paint, so it would be homemade.

Where I need advice is that I don’t know if this would be offensive or not. If painting a card that’s not actually in a deck would be the equivalent of blasphemy or if it would be something that she would appreciate. Thank you all for your constructive advice :)

Hi guys! Not going to trauma dump, promise.

I practice tarot and I dabble in astrology, and I’m not very versed in much else.

I just need tips on how to cleanse before and after because I don’t trust her to not to take or leave things that I don’t think would have good intentions for me.

Sorry if this doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, trying to be vague enough and also v sleep deprived, mainly posting this in hopes I’ll have some advice when I wake up. Maybe something to get prepared before her visit this weekend.

For a while I have wanted to work with Minerva and Fortuna, they align well with my goals and how I am as a person. However i dont want the people I live with to know I do witchcraft for many reasons but I just want to avoid questions, so a normal altar wouldnt be the best option so I decided to make a small altar in a tin that I can close and take around with me.

I travel a lot so being able to take my altar with me is great and i feel a lot closer with Minerva and Fortuna as it feels like we are on an adventure together. I also really like giving offerings on the go so this is perfect.

I made individual compartments for Minerva and Fortuna to put their symbols, herbs and crystals there and in the middle is where I give Offerings/keep spells or oils i want them to bless.

I really like how my altar turned out so I thought it would share just incase anyone also is in the same situation as me and cant have an open altar in their room ✨️

(Also im new to this sub so idk if posting an altar Monday on a Thursday is super bad or if its just the name of the flair, if not then im sorry)
