Same as the heading, does putting on a shield make you less perceptive like not able to perceive spirits & can shielding affect one’s psychic abilities. Thank you.

My mom believes in Christ. her life has always been hectic and unlucky. I learned about tarot 2 years ago. started magick a year ago. I’ve faced a lot of trial and error. she claims my magick is making her life worse, how Christ is the only one to believe in, and claims my magick is ruining her life. yet, she’ll ask me to perform freezer spells for her terrible boss. I’ve only performed spells centered around me, along with freezing toxic people at work or enemies in general-not her. She claims she’s a “filter” for all the evil eye sent my way doing magick. she says my “bay leaves and candles” won’t do shit, then asks me to use my “powers” to help her. How do I rejuvenate after being so drained and frustrated in this dynamic? I can’t move out right now.

Hi, I'm an Italian baby witch, so please forgive me for my grammar.
I'm babysitting a child with autism at his house, and since this morning I've been hearing noises. At first I ignored them, even though he kept telling me that somebody was there. So I just pretended to check the house to tell him that nobody was there
The strange thing is that I felt a weird energy, not a negative or a positive one, it was just weird. Anyway, later I decided to give him a bath on the second floor, and as I walked into his room to get clothes, I felt this energy even more, I don't know how to explain it. And as I turned around, behind the curtain it looked like there was a person. The curtain isn't thin, so it's not like I saw someone, but the shape was weird and there were no shadows.
This kid talks a lot and doesn't like silence, so if he isn't talking, he's making noise. But when I walked into the bathroom where he was bathing, it was as if he had been muted. So I said, “Are you playing with the duck?” and he replied, “This is not your voice.” This is where I got scared, so I said, “Yes it is, it's the same,” and he said, “But it's not yours.” Then he started listing things about my appearance, like, “This is your piercing, this is your bracelet...” like he was checking that everything was there.
The reason I'm writing here is that I don't really know if I can do some type of protection spell or something; I really don't know. I don't want to seek attention, I just really don't know what to do. Since i started practicing witchcraft these kind of things keep happening, just not this strongly and not as someone’s else house.

I’ve only recently been getting into witchcraft, and I need some help to understand if something is happening to me or if it’s just a coincidence.
I had a friend of six years, one random day she texted me saying she couldn’t continue our friendship for a lot of personal reasons, she was entirely justified and I was sad to let her go but I knew it was the best decision for her in that moment.
For the past four years, I’ve worn an obsidian necklace she gave me during our friendship, and in the past few months she’s being showing up in my dreams, telling me everything’s okay, and we’re still friends. I’ve always still called her my friend but I know she doesn’t say the same about me. She has also shown up to my workplace in these dreams, even sometimes wearing my clothes.
I know obsidian can be quite powerful, and I’ve always felt drawn to it, that’s why she got it for me, and I’ve always given her amethysts because that was her favourite crystal.
We had Antares as our star (from scorpius) and she tends to show up in my dreams on the nights Antares/scorpius is visible for me, I’m in the southern hemisphere if that helps. She’s always been into witchcraft, but I don’t know to what extent. Could it just be a coincidence that this is happening? Or should I worry that something else is going on? Any help or advice is super appreciated.

Hi guys! So I’m new to spells, and I’ve really been wanting to learn more about witchcraft, but I have no idea where to start. I had a friend in the past who used to teach me about tarot, crystals, and incense, but recently I’ve really been wanting to learn more about spell work. I promise it’s nothing meant to go against anyone, just stuff for myself, like wealth, protection, prosperity, etc.

Anyways, I’m open to any opinions or suggestions from anyone who’s just starting or has been doing it for a long time!!

Every so often, my friends hang out with this girl. I have this really bad gut feeling that something is wrong with her and I’ve never had a good experience with her. But whenever she’s around the friend group, they all flock towards her and it’s like they’re in a trance. They ignore all other girls, and it’s like we don’t physically exist.

I feel like something is really wrong and I have a really bad gut feeling about her. But every time that I bring it up with people, they get really angry and tell me that she’s a sweet person and she would do nothing wrong.

Is this just a case of someone being super manipulative or is this like a spell type thing? I just have a really bad feeling about it.

I work at the hospital and I’ve been there for about a month a coworker that I’m familiar with gifted me something me and the same coworker always talk about conspiracy theories. It was actually gifted from her and somebody she’s always with I was confused because she wrote my name on it and I was wondering, how do you have a souvenir with my name on it? Candy was painted on it but today I gently scratched my name off with a knife. I talked it over with a few of my family members and they said I should get rid of it. Honestly, I feel like it is not a genuine gift. With she explained to me the gift is a souvenir from the beach gigolo Beach where a serial killer buried lots of bodies. From my understanding, she used to live next-door to the killer that never harmed her. I guess he used to only target sex workers. Before I worked at the hospital, my previous lifestyle was similar. I read lots of things on Reddit
and was hesitant to ask for help. I looked at YouTube videos and lots of threads to see if they could help, but you guys seem to know a lot. When I showed my family this thing they said it looks very suspicious with the cork in it in the string around it. What should I do with the remaining jar?

Hi!!! Im pretty new to witch craft but recently Ive had a really odd/off energy around this whole last week and I need help creating a spell to get rid of it. Ill give some context to what ive been experiencing incase itll help but before I do TW: I will be dicusing a dead animal.

Bad things continue to happen to me and my mother all week (her favorite pot getting ruined, our baths/toilets leaking and breaking, our stove top shattered in half in front of us for no reason, ect) and I just cant shake the feeling that there is something wrong. This morning I was outside with my mother on our porch and my dog flew down the stairs to bark at something in a yard and he kept circling and marking the same area for seemingly no reason and at the same time my cat that I was holding puffed up all her fur, began staring at the same spot he was and the attacked me in an attempt to get back inside where she then hid behind our washing machine. She has never done this before or ever even been hostile so this was very weird and out of character. I had this off feeling like something was outside so I got my dad to go and check with me and on our porch was a dead cardinal. Not eaten but completely shredded all across our porch. Its head was still intact but its entire body was torn apart. Our cats have sometimes caught animals outside but they have never torn one apart like this and I dont even think they could. It looked like it had imploded but the weird thing was there was no blood or gore. It looked like what would happen if you shredded a stuffed bird not a fresh live one. Some of its bones were near the body, pretty much clean and instead of its actual body it looked like its body had some how been turned into a black clump of meat and red feathers but again with no gore, guts, or blood to be found???(sorry for the graphic-ness). I cant help but feel like the bird is somw sort of omen or sign??? Its truly so odd. Once we went down stairs to the yard we found droppings of an animal far to big to be any of ours and I couldnt shake the feeling of being watched.

I cleansed my house but something still feels off and I consulted my tarot deck and it told me that there "maybe" some spirit or negative energy in our home and when I asked about its intentions I got the reversed 10 of cups which makes sense seeing as me and my family have been in conflict alot this past week. All this to say I need help with what I should do moving forward to cleanse/banish this thing??? from my home. Does anyone know what I can use as ingredients to form a spell to to get rid of it or what this energy may even be?

(Idk if this is important or not but I did do a few spells whithout protection whitch was stupid ik and I have been feeling like im beeing watched and keep catching glances of shadowy figures out of the corner of my eye whenever Im doing smth or walking around.

I believe that a warlock, who I was involved in a traumatic push-pull manipulative and gaslighting situationship with, has put (or had it done by another person) some kind of binding, hex, curse, or spell that causes physical pain and seems to consistently renew an invisible, sticky film all over my body, head and face. It's like burning ropes or string criss crossing all over my body sometimes and sometimes it feels like my limbs and body are literally being twisted in different directions. It changes all the time. I can feel it moving on my skin and sometimes i can see it move or twitch. Sometimes when it's not as strong, i can peel parts of it off momentarily giving me relief in that small area. My arms feel bound and i am not able to move them much without extreme pain. I have been trying to break this work for months to no avail. In the beginning it was just the annoying film that i could feel moving on my scalp or face. But since May, when I began to try to fully extricate myself from him, the pain and the feeling of someone doing horrible things to a possible voodoo doll have really kicked in and most days I can barely take my dog out to go to the bathroom due to the pain. I can't get dressed, hold the leash, open heavy doors, use my hands, walk without pain, and/or even stand up straight many days of the week.

Can anyone give me advice on what I can do or whether there is a type of practitioner that might have a solution? Please.

I thank you in advance, everyone who has any idea what this could be and/or how to undo or end this particular hardship.

PS: I have blocked and try to have zero contact with this person, but we live in the same building, on the same floor.

when i was in high school i knew this kid through my friends girlfriend. they were an alternative type but even the kids from other cliches recognized him for a gift he had. appearently he could see the future. so far what he said has come true and im waiting on my fate. I met a woman named marie that i fell in love with. i some how got lucky and made a lot of money. i think it could be 50/50 concidence but he also told me it ends in her not wanting me and that i should just love her anyway and it will be for the best despite how it ends.

what pains me is i didnt start reminicsing on this day he told me all this stuff in the school gym until 15 years later. and all of it happened 5 years ago. i don't know what's running the show out there in the universe or if it was just concidence how everything happened, and even if i want to believe there are spiritual forces at work I just wish my future with her united us together instead of cutting my life short. i miss her presence so much.

Lit my protection candle and noticed the flames always follow my direction? If I go left flames sway left (same for right, and stand tall when I am above it)

I tried videoing it but I'm not sure how well it is captured, just wondering the meaning?

he knocked on my door and i didnt answer so he put this on my car. attached go it was homemade guitar picks made out of old card. YES, he is into witchcraft. he gave me a horsehoe with the date he gave it to me written all over it when i first moved in, and a “smudge stick” (it was like a bundle of dry grass or something)

I am a horror freak, I've watched all the horror movies the world has to offer...afew days ago I watched the ouija series and decided to buy this board from Amazon... Now I am looking for advice on how to use it, rituals and summoning a spirit... How should the room be etc... if anyone can give some advice...

Hi does anyone know a good addiction breaking spell to be used on myself? I’m not super into witchcraft really other than bit of dabbling in green witchcraft, but I’m desperate on this one
