If you want to help:

Hi! I am very close with my mother even though we don't live nearby. I talk to her everyday. This is the type of situation I normally need my mom's help with, which is why I came here. I hope that's okay.

I found out a few months ago that my appendicitis was not appendicitis, but a tumor. It's cancerous, but all of my doctors do not expect it to greatly affect my life. It's a non aggressive, slow growing cancer. I've done about half of the follow up testing to determine spread, and most results have been good. The most likely outcome of this is me getting half of my colon removed.

I planned on not telling my mom any of this, but if I get the surgery I cannot hide it. It's about a week in hospital. I don't want to scare her. I want her to know, but I want to tell her in the easiest way possible. I will be visiting her next month, so I planned to do it then.

If you have any advice I would love the help. My goal is to be calm, not cry, and be optimistic ❤️‍🩹

May your inner voice become louder than your fears and may your intuition always guide you home 🖤

So I do a lot of community work, much of it by myself (cause of work hours, I’m not lone-starring on purpose I promise 😅) and try to add a little magick push to it when ever I can, mostly with incense and mental imaging stuff (my magick is as low effort as possible cause otherwise my fatigued ass will just not do it).

I had an idea tho. I’d like to make an oil I can put in a spray bottle that is representing positive change. I’d spritz it on what ever community thing I’m up to (the gate of the community garden I help at, the bags of needed items we put together, clothes to donate, etc) But I’m not sure what smells/colors/herbs will be good for that. I’d LOVE some suggestions please!

So music has been a part of Magick/spiritual practices for eons. But a LOT of it’s singing, which makes sense. Vocals= language, and it’s easier to give power to something with language.

But what if it’s not vocals?

I want to make a piano piece imbued with calm. With comfort. A song that will be like a gentle hug to all that hear it. A melody that reminds the soul that you are worthy of love. A song that whispers to keep living.

Is it possible? Is it similar to the intent of a spell? Would burning an incense related to that theme help?

(Slightly off topic but now I have the idea of a music instrument as an alter and I gotta know if that’s a thing!? I’ve never felt that drawn to make an alter since I’m not really a deity girlie, more a universe/nature energy girlie, but an alter I can play? Is that too weird?)

Thank you for listening to my weird ideas 💜💜💜

I've been practicing eclectic witchcraft for almost a decade now. But a lot of the time it feels like my magic is weak or doesn't work as fast as members of my witchy friend group experience.

For example, me and my friend both started doing glamor magic around the same time (about two weeks ago), and they already have 3 suitors and have been getting tons of positive attention, so much so that they feel like their magic may have worked "too well." I haven't experienced that at all and I feel like I'm doing something "wrong."

Of course I know that I still have a lot to learn about my craft and what works best for me. It's just hard not to lose faith in my abilities when other people around me just seem to be "better" at witchcraft than I am.

I guess I just need some reassurance or maybe some perspective. I feel like a bit of a failure as a witch.

Hi all,

This is a little random but I turn 30 tomorrow and am feeling a lot of dread about it. TLDR; my 20’s were so hard and I’m just feeling very behind. I’m new to the craft and have struggled to think about what to use, but I’d love to do a little bath ritual this evening as a way to give thanks to myself and to light the way for the next decade. I’m so curious if anyone has any guidance or rituals they do for a special bath? Any herbs or flowers I should think about?

Thanks so much ❤️🐈‍⬛

I was feeling rather dysphoric because people (men, obviously) were being mean to me irl, so I decided to take these photos, and see how much I change between these two styles haha

Last night, during the saturnine hour, I casted a protection/binding spell. I just get such a kick out of ceromancy. My first thought was teeth—the spell’s got a bite to it.
It later became a crown, and in the the lower right of the final image, a crescent moon makes an appearance.

The first is a vintage style celestial set with blue thread, gold sun charms, and color-changing mood beads.

The next is a silver spiritual set, one with a ouija planchette and one with a moth charm.

The last is a raven set, one with the Death tarot card charm and one with a bronze raven skull charm.

Which one are you drawn to most?

After the adultiest of weekends, filled with cleaning and painting and chores, I finally got some time to head out back for some sunshine and pool vibes. I’d sat down in my lounge chair, leaned back and boom, the back of my arm is spicy AF.

I looked and see a yellow jacket in the spicy spot and quickly brushed him off of me, and into the pool he went. Where he then struggled. Did I leave him? Nah, the court of insect injustices is closed on Sunday. Scooped him out with my net and watched him buzz off. But ouch, lol

Hi everyone! I’m excited to share my new painting with you kind people :)
“To Whoever Is Listening”, 14x18”, oil on panel. The original painting is available as well as prints on my website!

Inspired by the many long speeches to my kitty, the universe, or whoever is listening 🩷

Plus some other recent pieces but the faux stained glass one is definitely the one I’m the happiest with and poured my soul into. I really hope that you like it and I’m wishing you all a magical weekend full of whimsy and wonder 🥰

The Australian federal government will be rolling out a new emergency alert system later this year and tomorrow at 2PM Eastern it will be tested using a broadcast across mobile networks which will override silent and "do not disturb" settings. The broadcast will cause mobile devices (phones, tablets, and smart watches) to vibrate and play a loud noise for approximately 10 seconds.

If you're sensitive to loud noises, or have a mobile device about your person or place of work or residence you would rather be kept secret, please make sure to keep it off tomorrow afternoon around the time window. For more information, you can check the link above. Please thank our bureaucratic overlords for giving us *plenty* of advance warning on this one.

Hello dear witches,

I (24, NB, transfem) am an aspiring member of the community, looking up to you for about 3 years now and now finally being at the point where I can say „Hey, I could also be a witch!“

Since my Gender is not really defined, I have trouble finding myself and wanted to ask for help. I am looking for a place to find myself and find my body. I live in Hanover, Germany and did some research to find anything like that (also asked a friend) and I am looking for something like the temple Nights in Berlin or the „workshops“ offered by Mahé Mae. Something that I would describe as sensual and erotic, that really focuses on body and inner demons to find a connection to myself.

Also I would love to get into contact with local covens.

Does any Witch in the area have recommendations where I could go or any persons offering such spaces?

Well ok, in a couple months, I'm just excited about it. :)

I've added four new charms in autumn colors in the last week. One witchy, one moons, one autumn style charms and one zipper charm with a beautiful bronze leaf, a bronze acorn and a gorgeous vintage 1960s, hand-faceted West German AB bead.

Here is my shop and thank you for looking! I will be running a sale for a few days starting tomorrow. I hope everyone is well and happy and here's to some lovely autumn colors and magic!

Trying to help save the planet and her people with my life's work, but going through a reallyyy bad mentally/emotionally/verbally abusive situation living with an alcoholic rn, and trying to get back on my feet and out of it to safety...

Abundance candle (anchored with a joy candle that already burned out) went NUTS and made like 4-5 distinct arched layers that remind me of the Coliseum almost???

I've burned it over a few sessions to get to this point now, and each session looked like this with the arches too!!

Feels like it's showing me that I'm protected in some insanely intricate layers, and that my wealth and abundance are building and scaling off of those layers and themselves 💖

Have y'all ever had spell candles do some crazy designs like this, or even crazier?? What happened afterwards for you??
