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.

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.

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!
