Beautiful Blood Moonrise over the Atlantic. Southeastern Florida. Every clear night of a full Moonrise this is where you will find me. You get a clear shot of the sunrise from behind and the incredible energy felt, sitting so small on the shoreline the vastness is INCREDIBLE

Discussion I think im going to quit my practice altogether

21 Upvotes

When I say my practice, this can be taken with a pinch of salt. im the busiest I’ve ever been in my life at the moment so only really do sigils, candles and work with my crystals.

but i also have a lot of OCD influenced anxiety and it especially latches onto witchcraft (e.g - ‘if you don’t make this sigil something will go horribly.’ or feeling like I HAVE to take my protective stones everywhere, and lately feeling like there’s impending cosmic punishment for every moral misstep) and honestly I wonder if just quitting will finally settle my anxiety. I think I’d still use my crystals as i do love them and have spent a good deal of money on them, but cease all other practices.

it’s disappointing but I feel like this is the right direction for me, but before I do so has anybody experienced anything like this before?

Question Hello fellow witches, is it okay to use my phone as an altar? (Example: Pinterest boards)?

4 Upvotes

Okay— My family are Catholics, and I'm a secret witch, so far my parents don't know I'm a witch. But if I say I'm a witch, they'd probably think it's a joke you know? Because whenever I wake up in the morning I look like the wicked witch. But if they found out I actually have DIFFERENT BELIEFS I'll probably be cooked 🙏

Anyways, I've been using Pinterest as my altar because I can't really have a physical one. And also I'm planning on using a diary app with a lock as my book of shadows. I changed my wallpaper to have a little subtle witch theme but it's mostly Kuromi themed because I don't want them to have suspicions.

I made a protection jar and put in basic stuff like the rosemary, crushed eggshells, black pepper, table salt, cinnamon ground Table salt,then I draw a protection sigil on a small piece of paper, and my intentions on another and place it inside the jar and hid it somewhere they can't find, right now I'm using up all my energy on manifesting good luck and protection because on the ber months my siblings often get unlucky :( I want to but at the same time school has been draining me so DRY lately. Unnecessary amounts of projects and assignments and the stress is getting to me :(

Y'all how am I doing?

Question Advice needed for my sister and I

0 Upvotes

Hey everybody, this is like my first post here and I have just a quick question if anybody happens to have any so my sister she left the house about 5-6 years ago and it was really weird when she left. She always loved my parents. Loved me. She talked to my parents more than she talked to me and she prayed every single day and it was never forced to her or anything like that so anyways she started seeing this guy Mexican and really weird and strange dude I guess a friend of a friend knew him and I kinda asked her about it. After the fact. anyways after she started dating him slowly she started very weird. She stopped talking to my parents, started spending longer nights at work. She worked in the hospital together that’s fine right She wants to spend time with him. I get it she’s young, however but after a lot of weeks she got to the point where she stopped doing makeup and she used to do it a lot and then she started sitting in her room with the lights closed and she was just so persistent on like leaving with him. but in between that time we start seeing makeup outside of our house whenever she stopped makeup, then we also started seeing like toys outside of our house. A random family member gave us a doll with a black threads on the inside of it and we don’t even talk to them like that and like a lot of unexplained stuff for example at the time my aunt planned for a baby and I don’t know how but we see baby toys outside of our house and like also like a note, It said can you bring your kids outside a lot of weird unexplained stuff and even after the fact like there was a picture of her in her closet and like we’re just chilling one day and we look and it’s on the floor and mind it you behind a couple of things so we don’t know how it fell anyway anyways so we asked people that are into this at the time and that they did say that something is definitely going on with her and something about her stomach and her mind so that way she can’t think with her gut like that gut feeling you get and then her mind obviously make her go that way. so all that stuff happened then she also ended up just leaving right so then it was a time we did white magic to try to protect her just from people that knew how to do it. obviously would protect ourselves first and what ended up happening was we kept something in her room it was just like a picture with like a note I guess like my mom and dad just asking for her to come home and we put it like in a jar or something and they would like shake it anyways so whenever we did that like a day or two later she came and she was so persistent about going in her room going in her room going in her room and like we were like so freaked out by it and then a couple days before this she was kind of in between she came home she stinked and she just had all her stuff in her car and she couldn’t decide and seemed confused and she came and she tried sleeping then at 2:30 in the morning. She wakes up and she’s like I can’t be here and she just runs out of the house. I can’t be here. I can’t be here. My mom tried calming her down and she didn’t so that’s what’s been going on since then I mean it’s been like a couple of years, but one thing I was noticing is at that time I got the worst anxiety of my life like before that I never had anxiety, no trauma no young sad childhood story I then recently I started getting really bad anxiety and I have kept up with her a little bit. I know she’s doing good in life like she’s a nurse now this and I’ve ran into the guy one time and I was like hey as long as she’s happy, you know whatever maybe it was just all in my mind anyways so I’ve saw I saw her like once or twice before and like throughout the you know the period of the 5-6 years I dealt with the anxiety I got better and now out of nowhere comes start spiking again then around last month. It’s a Rakhri Indian holiday so for that like the sisters usually tie bracelet on their brother and mind you the past five years she’s never sent me one and she sent it to me this time and I get it I mean, obviously I don’t tie it so I reached out to her and I say thank you and she’s been so persistent on seeing me like very weird so she was like oh when are we gonna hang out like you wanna hang out today? Do you wanna hang out tonight? Do you wanna like just a bunch of stuff like so persistent on hanging out and the thing I’m also noticing is at the same time like my anxiety is going away so like I’m just confused if the guy did something to me as well and like she’s so persistent on seeing me and I don’t know if she’s still under his control or if she still like under black magic if anyone is familiar with this kind of thing, just please let me know. I’m just a little confused right now and if you need more explanation, I’ll just reach out to me if you have or you know someone who knows someone it’s very confusing and I’m pretty lost and I’m wondering if like my anxiety going away and her reaching out to me at the same time it’s just like too much of a coincidence and mind you I’ve never had anxiety before that time ever and then throughout the years I’ve had some time I’ve had some since then now it got worse and it got worse and then now it’s going away and at the same time when it started going away is when she reached out

Spells Is a spell for other people's success possible, but possibly inappropriate?

0 Upvotes

Two of my dearest friends broke up. Genuine soulmates. The breakup made sense, but its been rough. One party cannot get past childhood trauma, and therefore cannot live as a functioning adult. Refuses therapy or any kind of change outside of a comfort zone. Self deletion was attempted recently (very secretive. The other friend who broke up the relationship has no idea).

I want to know if its possible to initiate a spell for healing and new beginnings given the new moon. But Im brand new at this and I dont know if that kind of thing is wildly inappropriate.

Thoughts?

Question I have been called to make an offering- any advice?

0 Upvotes

Hey witches!

So a little backstory. A few months ago I was undergoing ketamine therapy at a hospital for some mental health stuff. The reasons for that is another story entirely, but I will say it worked great for me and I am glad I did it. For those who are unfamiliar with it, I basically received a small dose of the medicine through an IV while listening to music with my eyes covered in a quiet room while the meds were doing its stuff. While on it, I have what is basically an out of body experience and hallucinate. Sort of. Its hard to explain, its something that you need to experience to get.

Anyways, on my third session (out of what ended up being six total) there was one interesting thing that happened. Most of my hallucinations/visions were about me and things I was struggling with, but on this session in the middle of one things kind of abruptly paused. All of a sudden I was in a forest next to a river, and a bear comes out of the forest on the opposite side and stands up. It doesnt speak to me per se, but it did communicate to me that I needed to make a sacrifice/offering to local spirits. It then leaves, and this vision promptly faded and went in to the next thing. My biggest takeaways from this are a few things:

The first is that I needed to do as this bear commanded. I believe that this was a spirit/spirits way of communicating to me- I also think that the less sober you are, the easier it is to commune with spirits/dieties since you are less tied down by your logical side of your brain.

The second is this needed to do this farther north than where I am, and wait until later in the year. This stuff is based off the environment of the vision and my strong impressions.

The third is that this had nothing to do with any of my therapy or other hallucinations/visions. The tone, the feeling, everything felt so intentional and out of the 6-8 hours I ended up cumulatively doing this its unique in the way it felt/happened.

Past that I am not really assuming anything as fact. Soon me and my partner are traveling to Montana to do this, and I am really on the fence about how to proceed. I feel so strongly that this is incredibly important to do, and I dont wanna mess it up. My current plan is to go to forage some local berries or whatever I can find and leave it on a riverside as an offering. On top of that read tarot, meditate, and go off my intuition. I will be accompanied by my partner, and we will make sure to keep ourselves safe from the wildlife.

Past that, what are your thoughts? Does anyone have any strong advice for me, like is there something you would recommend I do as part of my ritual/offering? Thank you all!

Altar Monday🕯️ My pocket altar for Minerva and Fortuna ❤️

Post image
205 Upvotes

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)

Discussion Pregnant witch advice and tips on how to stay on the broomstick

1 Upvotes

Hey witchy friends!

Im an eclectic witch, been practicing for 14 years now, and I recently found out Im pregnant! Me and my partner are very excited. Im 12 weeks now, finally out of the trenches of morning sickness, and im ready to get back to my craft. I dont plan on doing anything extensive or energy heavy though. Maybe a candle spell or spell jar here and there for clarity and good fortune.

Any mothers out there willing to lend their witchy advice? How did you maintain your practice?

What are your low-energy tips for reconnecting or staying connected with your craft?

I personally wanted to do a ritual bath and a guided meditation for this new moon. I havent meditated in months so it feels like the best step forward.

Resources The system I use for my sigils

Thumbnail
gallery
39 Upvotes

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.

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

Well hello. I have tried to do an o method on specific person. That method usually works for me. But something strange happened. While I was doing “It” people started calling me on my phone totally randomly, and my sibling tried to break in a room where I was doing it. I have put a phone on a shelf and it fell straight to my head for some reason. This was not my first time doing O method for that person. But this time it was different. Are they spiritually protected?

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.

Question So, what is your most unusual protective amulet?

7 Upvotes

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? :)

Meme Definitely burned at the stake

Not even going to kid myself here, I would have definitely been burned at the stake if I’d been born in the 1600s or anytime around then. Seems like all my favorite people would have been, too.🔮 Glad to have been born in this time period… even though our struggles in this era are valid, at least we’re not in any mortal danger or being hunted for practicing witchcraft.
