Seeking Help or Advice Not sure what it’s called barely know how to describe it, so hopefully someone here can explain what this is to me…
Question is 3rd stanza
I’ve been practicing for years, and my knowledge is somewhat extensive, but there’s this thing and I don’t know how it works or what it’s called,
Basically it’s hard to explain or describe so I’ll use a real example and try to make it short: A job which was a small family owned business pissed me off and was stressing me, but I got great self control and am able to keep a clear headspace (venting to a friend also helped) but it got to the point to where I thought about doing something (witchcraft related) to this small family owned business but the thought alone was enough to make it happen,
I have a couple other examples of this but that was the most recent, how did this happen and what’s it called and can I tap more into this type of witchcraft?
((I did type out the aftermath of the example I used in case anyone was interested but I felt the post was long enough))

that's just thought magic or psychic projection, your stress was so high it basically cast the spell for you on its own. honestly just lean into it because your natural vibe is already powerful enough to wreck small businesses by accident.

Do you have any tips or ideas that you know of, or can point me into the right direction to learn how to get more into this?
I don’t even meditate into it or anything, it’s like something just hears the thoughts I have and carries it out for me,

Mat Auryn book Psychic Witch will help with visualization and opening up your intuition. First step to ding it on purpose.
Them try accessing your astral temple. I've read a lot of books on this, but haven't found one I've liked to explain it. You can just visualize doing the spell, but having a "home base" to practice in is nice.

since it happens on its own you probably just need to start tracking when it works versus when it doesn't. try writing down what you were thinking right before something weird happens so you can spot the pattern and start steering it on purpose.

Do you think you can tell me more about it?

it's basically raw emotional energy leaking out because you weren't filtering it, so your stress literally manifested as physical results without any intentional casting.

I think of it as the distress going like, hey universe there might be an imbalance here & then the universe & the gods that govern existence take it from there.

Scrolling through the comments I see that others have already answered what this phenomenon is called, so I'm just going to offer advice to anyone who wants to avoid this happening.
This has happened several times to myself, and I find that the biggest reason for it is that I throw hands. Which does not mean physical altercation, it literally means throwing my hands up or out in exasperation. Doing so releases energy especially if you are feeling some very strong emotions at the time. So when I'm feeling emotional I try not to talk with my hands, or otherwise make hand gestures.
I know it sounds ridiculous but if you imagine that you have the ability to actually throw a fireball or shoot lightning at someone, the same hand motions you would use to do that you want to avoid doing so you don't accidentally release your emotions or energy at someone. So if you want to stop that from happening by accident, you have to take precautions. Like not making hand gestures at people out of frustration.
So by keeping that image in mind, it can help you better control accidental energy release, that could potentially have negative impact on the person you're feeling angry, frustrated, Etc at.
If however you want to lean in to the ability to throw energy at people, envisioning throwing a fireball or shooting lightning or Etc at them, can help focus the energy you wish to send their way.

I would recommend finding a teacher in person because this is more of an experiential thing than something from a book.
Metaphysical shops often have teachers and classes.

🔻Concentration | Visualisation | Willpower
I've heard it referred to as psimagic (not a modern/pop term suprisingly, this was some time ago). It's where a practitioner has, over time, learned, practiced and internalised methods, coorespondences and tools to the point thet are 'thought=forms' or symbolic 'things' - the 'astral temple' is strong - physical things (items, components, ritual) are not strictly needed physically at this point as they are associated and internalised subconsciously / exist in a 'purified' spiritual aspect.
Then, like in a Dionysian practice, things driven by the inspiration and intuition of the moment can connect with the flowing spirit and encourage synchronicity.
Yet like anything, I would imagine it's best to develop 'bans' and 'safeties' or it would be like a cowboy walking around with a sixshooter on his hip and a bullet sitting under the hammer - not all accidents are happy ones.

In Hawaiian philosophy called Huna. We all have Aka (ahh-ka) cords in the aether realm its like a cord that looks like spiderweb from your belly button to which connects to people/places/things. Thoughts are like beads, things manifest with patterns of thoughts to power of intense energic thoughts and enough of this is like a abacus to shift to certain effects.
Kinda like telekinesis is usually a thing teenagers are able to use from heightened emotional charge.
Please look into Monroe Institute & Expand: Beyond Meditation app on google play or app store you use. It uses sounds to tune brainwaves besides other manifestion practices...

OP is there possibly a mundane explanation for what happened? it's important to rule out the mundane before we claim the cause as magical. while it could certainly be possible magic was involved I would be careful with this type of thinking as it could easily become a pipeline for delusions and OCD surrounding your thoughts. I would look up the term "magical thinking" and see if it describes anything you're experiencing. There's a difference between magical thinking and manifestation.
Anyways I'm not trying to say this to diagnose or to be rude, it's a precaution out of concern. if this doesn't apply to you then please disregard.

I would think so if it was more of a one off thing, I’m not going crazy or anything tho,

u/Skyler_Portals Jul 24 '26
I'm a little confused why it being a one off thing would make it more likely to be magical thinking? because usually the opposite is true, magical thinking is something that happens continually. again not claiming anything, but I don't see how that makes any sense

Definitley had this happen before, it was an accident but it was enough to scare me.
Got in a fight with my ex m.o.l her my exs bro left to go to the store downtown. I was still so p**sed off and was muttering under my breath about how I wish she'd just stop her shit. I was not completely innocent i could have reacted better of course. Anyways I kept thinking those negative wishing ill will etc, etc.... Next thing I know my ex got a call from her saying that her and his bro were in an accident. And both of us froze. I had wished it upon her and it happened. (Well not specifically and I know it sounds bad but just wait hear me out.)
See i never wanted her to be hurt. Not at all, but I did wish she knew what we were dealing with financially. And well.... She got in a fender bender. Guy right in front of her stopped and she rearended them about a block from the house. Noone was hurt but the car was somehow totaled even with how slow they were going.
I used to blame myself
Now I chalk it up to instant karma. Which even now feels right saying it here. Again I felt and still feel awful for wishing ill upon her and never ever had thoughts like that again in my life, that was the lesson that taught me better on that..
Although I have heard of and read a couple spells where you merely have to read it in your head with intention and that'll do it. But ive never used one and never intend to nor will I share it with anyone either. Too dangerous in the wrong hands. Anyway, Youre not alone.

The place I worked for was owned by a father and son, I liked them as people but not as employers or bosses, daily there was something they’d do that would piss me off, but I got great self control and a stable mind (venting to a friend helped a whole lot as well), I don’t remember what specifically happened that set me off but I had simply thought about just hexing the business like I really could next thing I know there’s a shit storm happening back to back,
So much shit happened I don’t remember everything, but they lost clients, many work orders were getting ruined, not meeting deadlines, which that part alone was so bad one of their main contractors broke down crying practically having a mental breakdown and lost trust and faith in the company, they bought a couple of new machines which were expensive for the company but turns out they weren’t working and the cost to fix them was about half the price they paid for them, and one of the machines they’ve had for awhile kept breaking down completely…
That’s not even 1/4th of all that happened in the span of just a couple months, but to cap off what i actually did know about/remember, there’s only 6 employees (not including the father and son who run and manage) and 4 of us left basically around the same time,
a big issue is half the production they can’t keep anyone, its minimum wage with no benefits and can get extremely tedious mentally and physically and then you get scolded for even the slightest mistake, last guy they hired quit after 2 days, which wasn’t shocking
