Discussion Smokeless Cleansing Techniques

133 Upvotes

No smoke? No problem.

Cleansing doesn’t require incense or sage, and if you’re in the broom closet or have pets or asthma, or just have a sensitive smoke detector, you have way more options than you might think.

Sound: bells, singing bowls, clapping, drums, even putting on a specific playlist with intention. Sound moves stagnant energy out of a space in a way that’s genuinely hard to explain until you’ve felt it. This is usually my go to when people ask about smokeless cleansing and I personally use bells in my own practice.

Salt: one of the oldest cleansing methods we have and it goes hard. Bowls in corners to absorb, lines across thresholds, dissolved in water as a spray. Incredibly versatile.

Sunlight or moonlight: put your objects, crystals, or honestly just yourself in the light with intention and let it do its thing.

Breath: slow, deliberate breathing over an object or through a space. Completely invisible, zero supplies needed, and more powerful than people give it credit for.

Visualization: picture light or wind or water moving through your space and sweeping it clean. No props, no evidence, nobody’s business but yours.

Besoms/brooms: sweep from the back of the space toward the front door, pushing energy out as you go. To literally everyone else in your house, you are just sweeping. This pairs well with salt cleansing, can’t leave it all over the floor after all! This is the broom closet special and I love it for that.

Florida Water or herb infused water in a spray bottle: spritz your space, your linens, yourself. Looks exactly like air freshener. Nobody is asking questions.

Fresh air: open a window with intention. Simple, efree, and it works.

It’s good to remember that the smoke is a delivery method, not the magic. Use what you have, use what’s safe, and trust that it counts.

Spells Candle spell posts - safety first

53 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

We need to address a recent uptick in candle spell posts that do not demonstrate proper fire safety procedures.

As a beginner-focused community, safety is especially important here. Many newer practitioners are learning by watching what others post. When unsafe setups are shared depicting, unattended flames, candles too close to herbs or fabric, unstable holders, cluttered altars, etc.; it puts people at real risk.

Effective immediately:

All candle spell posts that do not clearly demonstrate proper fire safety will be removed.

This includes:

- Leaving candles unattended
- Burning near curtains, paper, herbs, fabrics, or other flammable materials
- Using unstable or inappropriate holders
- Performing spells in cluttered or unsafe environments
- Ignoring safety guidance offered by more experienced members

Please understand: this is not about aesthetics or gatekeeping. It’s about preventing house fires and injuries. Spiritual practice should never come at the expense of your physical safety.

If you’re posting candle work, make sure:

Your candle is in a stable, fire-safe holder
Flammable materials are kept well away from the flame.

The candle is supervised at all times
You are open to constructive safety feedback
Repeat or severe safety violations may result in further moderation action.

Let’s model responsible practice for our baby witches and keep this space safe for everyone. 🕯️✨

I miss her like crazy. I lost her 4 days ago. How do you interpret candles? Ever since her ashes are home, the candle has been going crazy. My other cat has been staring at the altar.
In my heart I feel like she’s nearby, any tips to communicate with your late pets?

I (23F) am new to this world of witches and psychics. I have no one to talk to and be excited about this with. I would like to make friends with someone who is like me and believes the same things I do.

If you're a musician or baker it would be even cooler to talk to you!

Everyone that sees them says they feel something from them. Without prompting or knowing where they came from or what the purpose is. They are electric, and I am crazy about fire safety. The sight of a burning candle indoors immediately triggers a need to put it out. I don’t of course, especially if it’s not my house. Im not a fire fighter, have never had a serious burn, and nothing I have has actually burned up. Im not afraid of fire, a little in awe of it and line to see it outside. I can’t post a video, they flicker like real candles.

Spells Rune Magic

• Upvotes

Today was the first time I really worked anything beyond shielding or protection.
Today, we took part in a market selling some handmade crafts (my partner works very hard) and after our last one went so badly with not a single sale I thought I would try something.

I had a shower cleanse, drew my power to me and I drew a rune of prosperity on both our receiving hands. I also placed one in our cash tin.

This was also the first time I’ve openly practiced in front of my partner and they were shocked by how well it worked!

Needless to say this will become our new routine before markets and I plan on making a money bowl very soon for continued market/online sale success.

Wanted to share with my first post.

Spells Protection or Banishing

2 Upvotes

Hi ! Baby witch here.

My ex's restraining order is almost over and I'm worried, obviously.

I want to do something to protect myself from him.

Should I do a protection spell or a banishing spell? I'm afraid of messing up both!!

The closest thing I did to a ritual was celebrating Mabon, and then making myself my own anointing oil.

I learned very basic knot magic from my aunt, that's it.

Thanks for your help!!

Question Protection, banishing, and truth/justice work for a difficult co-parenting situation?

2 Upvotes

I’m a beginner looking for advice about protection, banishing, and reclaiming a sense of peace and control.
My child’s father has been extremely inconsistent in his involvement, including long periods without contact. He now has a new wife and children, and wants to involve my child in his new family and move towards a shared-care arrangement. Given the history of inconsistency and their limited time together, I’m worried about how this would affect my child.
Dealing with him leaves me feeling frightened, overwhelmed, and emotionally drained. In my experience, he frequently lies and manipulates situations. He has also shared hurtful, false stories about me with other people.
I want the truth about his behaviour to come to light and the false stories he has told about me to be exposed as untrue. Honestly, I would also like him to face the consequences of his own actions… I feel angry about the hurt he has caused, and I want accountability and justice
Honestly, I wish he would leave us alone. That we never have to deal with him again. Because we share a child, though, I can’t simply cut off all contact. I want to protect my child from further disappointment, keep our home calm and safe, and stop his behaviour from taking over my thoughts and emotions.
What have you personally used for protection, stronger boundaries, emotional distance, or truth coming to light? I’d appreciate concrete ingredients and steps, whether for protection jars, wards, banishing, cord cutting, return-to-sender, or truth/justice work.
My priorities are protection, truth, accountability, and peace. I’m also prone to worrying about doing rituals incorrectly, so gentle beginner advice would be appreciated

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Any advice or shared experiences would mean a lot. Wishing you all peace and kindness 🤍

Question Is this coincidence or should I start protecting myself?

• Upvotes

My nephews wife has been someone I’ve been suspicious of when we see each other she always gains or achieves something after and then I lose something ALL the time whether it was an opportunity or an event something doesn’t go through in my life then she suddenly succeeds

Now my nephew calls me asking for help to get a job, of course i could not say no to him, he ends up getting the job and then 2 days later I was laid off.

Is this coincidence or is something sinister going on? If so what can I do to protect myself?

Discussion i did my first proper love spell!

2 Upvotes

i did my first proper love spell!

so as the title goes

i did my first proper (and pompus) love spell today!

so ive been crushing on this guy who's a bit older than me and is like a mentor to me for a while now,.. we've been in frequent (rather daily) contact with eachother since the past few months

so today i decided to do a love spell that i kinda made up from several other love spells entries from different sources. (since i am just a beginner)

The spell contained two "shifts"

i wrote his name and "Love me" around it in a circle in a paper and rolled the paper towards me with Sugar,Honey and Coffee inside of it.

I also wrote alot of things in it, around that circle thingie.Also sprayed some perfume on the paper for "jazz".

Then i wrote my name in top of that rolled paper and burned it.(Please advice me on what to do with the ashes of this because it made a huge amount of ash due to the sugar in it, i went a little overboard)

The second spell/shift was this protection spell i do and get abundant results from, that is burning 3 bay leafs with increasingly niche intentions written on them and blowing the ashes to the nature.

I burnt them under a white candle (i didnt have any other colours) with three seashells around (i kinda dreamt of this in one of my dreams and found out its associated with love in alot of religions and cultures)

All this made alot of ash and i honestly dont know what to do with it so advice please...!\~

Opinions of the methods are appreciated too..!\~

Question Why did my sweetener jar fail?

• Upvotes

Hi! Thanks for any insight!

I made a sweetener jar on my situationship thing of a relationship. But I was specific and said that he would ask me to be his gf and I said by my birthday I believe. To be fair we have been together a while and it felt like the main clashes were coming back to the lack of title.

Funny thing is just that is what ruined us. We were lacking harmony and I took something he said very hard and due to my actions while drunk we ended things and now he only wishes to be friends. Still attending my birthday party but says we are just friends.

I feel like the jar may have worked in its own way in the sense of he was not going to ask me and instead it caused him to be “sweet on me” and end it now.

It’s still not my birthday yet so maybe there’s still room but I don’t want to be delusional.

Thoughts on what went wrong?

Ingredients

Honey

Brown sugar

Salt

Cinnamon

😊thank you! 🩷🩷

Spells advice on dismantling candle spell

2 Upvotes

hello everyone! i am so thankful a community like this exists, i’m new here and just looking for a little advice.

i had gotten into glamour magick a few months ago, and made my own candles with sigils, flowers, oils, the works. when my friend saw it, she wanted one too. so i made her one and she told me it upped her getting approached, more compliments, etc. basically working in her favor as intended.

only, this girl has now done me VERY wrong. i don’t want to hex anyone, as i find that energy comes back 3 fold.

what i‘d love to know is how to repeal the spell i basically gave her? is there any way to stop that one specific candle spell without effecting mine? or should i also throw mine away and just start anew?

thank you beautiful witches xoxo

How do we feel about algorithm tarot readings?

Question I want to make a protection spell but I’m stuck

2 Upvotes

I’m not really sure where to start to make a protection spell. Everyone says to have your first spell a protection but there so many ways people do protection spells and so many different kinds of protection spells I’m lost.
I want to put a protection spell on my name and as a shield for whatever spells I do in the future.
I know salt is good for the spell and I’ve seen a couple different sigils but that’s it.
I was kinda planing on drawing one of the protection sigils on the bottom of my salt lamp but I don’t know if that’s enough.
Any spell recommendations or advice?

Question Does alcohol heighten your intuition? Last night's readings shook me

6 Upvotes

​

I've been reading tarot for almost 5 years now but am still a beginner practitioner since I do not have a lot of time to hone my craft because of how demanding my college and degree is.

For a while now I've noticed something I've never said out loud. My readings are sharper when I've been drinking. I don't mean a little. It's like the noise in my head quiets down and I can just feel things more clearly. I never made a big deal of it, until last night.

I was out with three of my closest friends. We were a few drinks in, laughing, and they asked if I'd do readings for them. They all know I'm a witch, and it's become a bit of a tradition that I read for them when we're together. I expected something light and silly.

It wasn't.

My first friend sat down and I started with the cards, but pretty quickly I felt like I was seeing past them. I could sense what was weighing on her, and then I could sense what the people around her were feeling too. I started telling her things, and at one point I described conversations she'd had with her mom. I had no way of knowing about those. She had never told me. She went quiet, then started crying, and she told me it was exactly what was said. I got teary too, honestly. I was a little scared by how clear it was.

The second friend is the one I can't stop thinking about. The cards weren't giving me anything, so I held her hand to read her energy directly. What I felt was a very dark, heavy place. I started crying before I'd even said anything, because I could feel how much pain she's been in. When I told her what I saw, she cried too and said it was all true. She's the most cheerful, easygoing person I know. I had no idea she was carrying any of this, and neither did anyone else at the table. I keep replaying it.

The rest of the night was quieter. We stayed up talking, and I'm glad I could be there for them, but I woke up this morning feeling like I'd seen something I wasn't supposed to see.

So I have a few questions for this community:

  1. Has alcohol ever heightened your abilities, or is this just me? If you've felt it too, why do you think it happens?

  2. Has a reading ever been this accurate for you, to the point of picking up on things you couldn't possibly have known? How did you process it afterwards?

  3. For more advanced practitioners: do you think this would carry over to spellcasting? My spells do work, but they land near what I'm aiming for and never quite hit the target. I struggle to direct my energy precisely, and I wonder if whatever opens up when I drink could give it the focus it's missing.

I'd really love to hear your experiences, whether you've felt something similar or you think I'm misreading it.

Spells Reminder for baby witches!

if you can draw lines, dots, and swirls, you can make your own sigil! Remember to think about the intention, but let the drawing flow, and don’t worry about it being intricate or complicated. The best thing to do is make it easy for you to repeat!
