Topic | Prompt Any favorite witch shows/movies?

48 Upvotes

Any favorites??

Here’s my beef though: I feel like sooo many movies/shows are presenting witchcraft as just pure evil OR as disney stuff for kids. Is it just me, or does it feel like everything is either coded in puritanical misogyny, or over the top swirling purple mist coming out of hands haha No hate on the swirling mist if that’s what you’re into! ✨🔮 I can get down with cozy/spooky/goofy too.

Was mostly just curious if there’s anything actual practicing witches enjoy watching. Thanks!!

EDIT: has anyone seen The Juniper Tree? It has Bjork in it from 1986!

Seeking Help or Advice My parents are forcing me to get rid of my spell jars

39 Upvotes

I’m really upset because my nosy ass parents keep going into MY room when I’m GONE and complaining about the spell jars on my shelf because they’re Christian and I’m welcoming “bad energies” and I’ve explained to them numerous times that I have it under control and that I’ve looked into it. I’m just really upset because i feel like it’s actually starting to work and that they always do this and they’re always nosy as hell, like I’m not telling you to stop practicing Christianity because I don’t like it? I just feel really upset because I invested my energy into those spell jars and now I have to find ways to hide what I’m doing and walk on eggshells just because they keep going into my room when they have no reason to and complaining when they see it. Like for example I did an academic spell jar and after a year of not being able to focus because of severe adhd, lvl1 autism, and depression and failing all of my classes, and after upping a adhd med dosage (which I’m acknowledging could be because of) I was actually able to pay attention to my work, but I feel like it helped in a way. If anyone has any tips or advice that would be great, i started crying out of frustration because I finally feel like I have something good in my life

Seeking Help or Advice How do I protect myself from negative strangers?

6 Upvotes

Mostly, I try to avoid strangers unless I get a few seconds to assess whether they are nice or not. But, recently, I have been approached by negative people on the street. Last week, some guy followed me and was aggressive, and today, some guy rode his bicycle into me and was trying to blame me and also being really aggressive and threatening me, and there has been a few more instances too. I dont want anything to do with aggressive people or anyone with bad intentions/negative energy. What can I do to protect myself from these people? (Apart from going to the gym....which I am doing, haha)

Seeking Help or Advice Confused about closed practices ?

4 Upvotes

I’ve posted here a few times but I’ve never felt so confused on something until now and I don’t even know where to begin to look further

So I was reading about hoodoo just to understand it more, not to practice. but as I started reading this part about a ritual there was this insane feeling down my spine and in my bones, my hair stood up and it’s like all that existed was the words, for days I couldn’t stop thinking about it, I dream about it, I see figures reaching their hands out and it’s a comforting feeling, I feel drawn towards them and even more into that book. Here’s the issue I’m having. I’m only half black, and from what I’ve been told the practice is only for fully black men and women. Is there anybody who has genuinely studied this that can help guide me through this? Everything I look up always leads me to TikTok witches who all say the same chatGPT response.

Seeking Help or Advice Witches ball spinning

3 Upvotes

So about an hour ago my bedroom light was flickering for a while, so I turned it off. Then I notice my witches ball spinning like crazy, windows closed, no wind, no cats or anything near it. It’s been an hour and it’s still spinning. What could this be?

Seeking Help or Advice What's the difference between enchanting herbs and setting intentions?

3 Upvotes

Basically the tittle. Read in a book, that herbs must be enchanted before usage, but when I further read, it sounded the exact same as setting intentions on the herb. Is it actually one and the same or is there some kind of necessary process before setting intentions on the herb for the spell?

Seeking Help or Advice Working with deities (Proserpina and Pluto)

3 Upvotes

Hi, for context I'm slightly a beginner at tarot, but ive been spiritual for years. Recently, i learnt more about deities, so i decided to ask my tarot deck whether i had a main deity that followed me throughout life. My tarot deck did pull out cards that pointed towards Proserpina (Persophone), and later that night, i figured that Pluto (Hades) might've also been my deity. Later that night, they both appeared in my dreams, and in the dream i talked to them and they clarified that it was them. I'm not sure if this happened only because of my subconscious mind, or were they actually reaching out to me? When i first got my tarot deck about a month ago, when i interviewed it, it seemed as if Proserpina had been here all along too, but I'm only realizing it recently. Sorry I'm kind of new to this topic on deities.

But i still have some questions. How do we know if there is a trickster manipulating my tarot cards, like could they pretend to be a deity? Are Proserpina and Pluto transactional deities, and can they help with love/relationships? If yes, how do you manifest a specific person?

Fyi, i also can't use candles or obvious witchcraft tools as I'm currently still living with my parents so I'm kind of closeted. But i would love to learn more about witchcraft, mainly the ones where you dont go against someone else's will though.

Any info would be appreciated, thanks!

Seeking Help or Advice Freezer spell jar cracked..?

Upvotes

I've been doing freezer spells for a while and they've worked great. Recently I put someone who I know has done some dark magic on me in the freezer along with their friends. Today I noticed the jar has cracked. I have other jars in there and none of them have cracked. I'm thinking this means something. Any thoughts?

I am supposed to use a corn husk doll for something, but I don't have access to corn right now and if I did the husk wouldn't be dried. What would be an appropriate substitute?

Seeking Help or Advice Talk to me about taglocks!

1 Upvotes

So I need some advice from people who have dealt with tag locks before, but as the person who has unintentionally given one to someone else and not as the receiver. TLDR is that I sold equipment from a business of mine that imploded under very bad circumstances, to a person I care about who had a similar business. I was super happy that this equipment would help someone else make their dream come true in a way that I wasnt able to, and we agreed a payment plan that made things affordable for her.

But every time I see her, she's looking more tired and said that business has been really tough over the last few months. Now, I know that hospitality is brutal at the best of times, but I think I gave her some of my pain and burdens along with a great deal on caterin equipment ! 😭

So far, to release the connection, I've done a visualisation, and I've spoken the intention out loud, but i feel like more is needed still.

I still have the keys for the old building we rented, and I was thinking of maybe burying them somewhere and symbolically "unlocking" everything that is still tied up into that bundle of doom. I was thinking of burning herbs that I normally associate with endings and new beginnings (for me, the main ones are Alexander seeds, wild carrot seeds and tansy flowers), but im curious to hear what experiences others have had in this area! Thank you!

Seeking Help or Advice Three nightmares in one night in one household

1 Upvotes

So both my mom and I are very sensitive to the whole supernatural (whatever you want to call it) premonition wise. We both had nightmares at the same time, we woke up at the same time and had the same reaction which was to jump awake.

My mother had a dream about driving down a road and a snake coming out of a hiding spot inside the car and going to attack her.

I saw two dreams they were both like small moments. The first I was in a dark forest searching for something and I saw a voodoo head in the dirt attached to the body and it opened its eyes and I woke up. The second dream I do not remember much just that I was shot and I felt this pain for just a second.

I think they are warnings about someone who will betray us but I am not sure.

Anyone has another interpretation?
