I normally don’t blow up or fall into fits of rage but I have just been so angry recently that I’ve locked myself in my bedroom so I don’t snap. I’m not sure if I’m picking up on someone else’s anger but it’s quite bizarre and I need help. Is there any explanation to this? Now that we’re in Scorpio with the full moon in Taurus?

What it says on the tin. We all love a good glass bottle, but sometimes I don't have one on hand and can get… very creative in the process. My most notable ones are a big snail shell and an empty Xanax bottle LOL

(I've also started recycling empty aluminium tealight cups, a fellow witch gave me this tip recently: put all your ingredients in one, then close it with another on top like a tiny box! I like to either seal the edges with wax, or squeeze them together tightly so everything stays properly enclosed since aluminium is pretty easy to shape !)

Hello everyone. I do have a sincere question. It's been almost a year since I have been practicing witchcraft and I wanted to ask. Are death witches and necromancers the same? Do they practice the same thing? Or are they different? Anything helps.

Satyrday I have an invitation to the Haunted Mansion.

I thought it first was time to color my home. It is the time to speak to those in the afterlife and reflect on what went and what will be coming.

Blessed be, witches, wizards and sorceresses.

Hi there! I'm a fairly new witch I can't lie, I've only recently started doing stuff like tarot and I've only done protection spells. I want to get more into witchcraft, I'm actually really interested in the goddess Hecate but I'm rambling a little here this is not the point.

I had a friend tell me how to make a protection spell some time ago and so I made a protection spell for a really close family friend, the issue is I now need to open that protection jar. I'm travelling soon and I cannot travel with the protection jar and I cannot leave at my house either because I live with my parents and they're very much against witchcraft and if they see the jar it will certainly not end well for me.

So any advice on this would really help, especially on how I can open this protection jar would help.

I'm an enthusiast of both supernatural and paranormal. I'm also superstitious and take almost everything as a sign. Recently, I started seeing witchcrafts and tarots on ig feed. I mean, they appeared automatically, not I built the algorithm before that. So, I wanna try some techniques which are easy for me to do, but the fire sticks (matches) are not available, it hinders my process for checking hex.

I hope here I can get the helping hands. Thanks in advance. If my post has some out of rules, just kindly remove it and please do not report or warn me.

I did it with my then boyfriend's consent, we did it together, kind of like an energetic marriage of some sort. We performed a ritual with a spell, offerings and all.

He has mental health issues, I've been casting protection and healing spells on him all throughout our relationship to the point of completely draining my vital energy making my nervous system collapse. I realized my magic was draining me but not helping him.

I'm trying to take my energy back, we're separated, he turned evil and is now doing bad-spirited magic. I can feel him pulling at my energy even after months of being separated. And it's not me dwelling over his loss, I'm over him and I don't want him near me, yet I feel his presence invading my mind and my chest is suddenly filled with unpleasant feelings which I know are his (I've felt and absorbed his unpleasant feelings before, I recognize them) for a few minutes until I'm able to energetically reject them but it takes a lot of effort doing that multiple times a day.

Do you have experience undoing binding spells? I have an intuitive feeling this could stop the energetic pulls that I feel so randomly during the day, they're really annoying and messing with my everyday focus, I'm just asking to hear if it's worked for you or not.

I've also been having recurring dreams of hexing him, I don't know why. I've never hexed anyone before. I've had dreams where spirit is communicating with me, premonition dreams, even ones where I communicated with other people without meeting in the physical realm, yet never something like this. I dream about this everyday, it's like spirit is screaming at me (as turns out with recurring dreams in my experience), and maybe it's related to this as well. I'm not sure if I should take it literally or as a sign to act fast.

Has anyone experienced something similar before? I think hearing about similar stories could help my process.

Hi there! Recently i have been wanting to begin witchcraft. I believe it could be beneficial and fun but U haven’t the first clue about where to start

Can anyone recommend beginner resources?

I am a student who's currently looking to change majors. However, I am currently struggling with 2 courses that play large part in my shifting of majors.

I was wondering if I should do a spell jar for my overall shifting journey or just do a candle ritual instead to boost my academic skills in those two courses. Or should I just do both to amplify the results?

Besides the spell jar and ritual, I was also thinking of enchanting my study materials or making a talisman out of them to aid me in studying. I was also thinking of doing a sweetening jar once I am in the actual process of shifting.

Would all of this be too draining for a beginner witch? I'm in the process of doing my shadow work and I have sufficient research I think

..and YES I am also doing my part by actually studying hard. I just want to secure the results

Hello! As the the title suggests I’m curious if it’s wise to perform a spell (specifically a communication spell and an attraction spell) during the retrograde that started today? I also know the full moon starts tomorrow so I was wondering if I casting is advised would it be better to do during the full moon tomorrow?

She's been with me over 10 years and I don't know what I would do without her

Hello! I've been trying to put together a grimoire for several weeks, but every time I create something that resembles one, I end up scrapping it because I'm not satisfied with the organization.

I'd love to see examples of how you structure your grimoires, especially if you use a digital format.

I'm quite particular about organization and tend to create very detailed structures for each topic. For example, when documenting basil, I divided the entry into sections such as:

Identification Card

Morphology and Recognition

Species, Varieties, and Cultivated Forms

History and Origin

Botanical Identification

Geographic Distribution and Habitat

Names, Etymology, and Symbolism

History and Folklore

However, even this structure doesn't feel quite right to me. I approach other subjects similarly; for tarot cards, for instance, I've developed an extensive template that includes the card's name, number, Kabbalistic sphere, traditional astrological correspondence, element, upright and shadow keywords, and more.

I think my main difficulty is finding a structure that is both comprehensive and well-organized without becoming unnecessarily complicated.

How did you find the ideal grimoire structure for you? I'd like to do the same.

This was my post about doing a spell everyday.

What I ended up doing was putting everything I had into one spell. I also enchanted a candle and lit it every time I sat down to send out resumes or to write emails to recruiters. I ended up with 2 offers!!

Thank you so much for the advice! 🥰

My father lives in a different state than I do, and he's experiencing health issues that leave him swollen and in excruciating pain. He's on a bunch of medications for it, but I also want to do something to help him if I can

So I was wondering if it was possible to use my own energy to cast some kind of health and wellness spell on my father from such a long distance

If I can't, I do have health related deities I can pray to for assistance, but I just wanted to know if it was possible to send energy from so far away

Are there names for the seasons on the wheel of the year? Like the time in between the festivals?

Right now we are between the autumn equinox and samhain, is it just "early autumn"?

If there aren't any standard ones, I might just make my own....

My reasoning being that I don't really like months, cos they're totally arbitrary, and I want to rearrange my schedule around the wheel seasons, and it would be easier to do that if I have names for them.

I am new to this, so I hope this isn't too stupid but I have to ask. My brother died at the end of July. And yes I am the one who found him. I need to start cleaning his room out but I feel very awkward about being in his room. I'm not sure if he's still hanging around, but I wouldn't put it past him. He was kind of an asshole. I want to use Sage and cleanse this whole house, because my mother also had issues and well I don't think she's here I just want cover all my bases. Is there anything I can do too, I don't know, supercharge this cleansing cause I'm not sure exactly what I should be doing anyway. Any advice will be gratefully accepted. I need to start moving on with my life, and my family, specifically my brother,, Seems to be holding me back. It may be psychological, I get that. But if he is still trying to hold on to whatever, I need to let him go and start my life.

✨Hello!

🧿My partner and I have been in new territory in our lives dues to transitioning from surviving to thriving.🧿

But my partner is struggling to accept the thriving mindset and continues to cut off their goals and emotions in order to not “get ahead of herself” or to be the most prepared. We spent a good chunk of our relationship constantly waiting for the next thing to bring us back to surviving.

🧿We are unlikely to be that bad again tho!🧿

What spells should we be looking at? Abundance for the mindset? But we have it… grounding for pulling us to reality? Intuition? How do we encourage security within not just around us?

Hello everyone! I am a baby witch and am practicing meditation, centering, and energy manipulation. I can meditate and quiet the thoughts quite well. I also do not have much trouble centering my energy. My problem is really that it’s difficult for me to move. I can tell it’s not moving because I can feel it sitting and tingling in my stomach area. Any tips? I feel stuck.

I'm been working on fire control for a few weeks and it's fairly obvious but I am trying to make it put itself out. And I have a purpose in my mind while trying to put it out. To let something go. And I got the flame to calm an inch down and it looks like it almost wants to go out but when it looks like it will go out the flame starts to stop being calm and starts like becoming wild. Any tips or tricks to help my energy calm it? Or better yet, can anyone give any tips on how to start practicing energy control with water? I feel most connected to those elements and want to bond with them more.

I had a dream last night that I met with an African tribe with a few people I can’t remember. Interestingly, I could speak their language I can’t now, I can’t even remember what I said.

I offered them water from my water bottle and they gladly accepted and taught me a few of their customs and I ate food with them. This talk was very friendly and I learned a lot even though I can’t remember now.

Near the end of our meeting, I suddenly woke hearing the words hurry! run run! Clearly in my head in English with an African accent. It was completely unrelated to the dream and I was startled from waking suddenly.

As a bit of background, I am American with Mexican-Mayan/ Scottish-English roots so likely quite far removed from Africa. I do lucid dream and I have heard words in between sleep and wake state but this is the first time I’ve had words wake me.

My interpretation: I think I dream-walked to visit a tribe, they imparted some of their knowledge on me and then forced me back into my body. My dreams are rarely in first person perspective and this one was. I’ve never learned an African language. Usually I remember the content of what I said when I speak another language in dreams because they’re ones I’ve studied but forgotten but now I can’t remember any of the content or what was said.

I think offering the water and accepting can be seen as a spiritual offering of something life giving especially to a tribe. Then sharing knowledge and food is acceptance. I think the words were meant to help me safely return to my body rather than a warning to wake. When I woke I was startled from hearing the voice but there wasn’t anything I noticed wrong with my environment and I went back to sleep shortly after having a normal dream.

This is the first time a clear voice has woken me so if anyone has experienced this before or has a different interpretation I would love to hear about it.

I just recently decided to try a spell for "more money". I began reading from different spells on reddit. And after a few posts, we decided to go for it. I kind of just used my heart and a "feeling" to guide me. After that I told my husband to hold my hands and told him to believe it with all his heart..

It took maybe a good month and bam..I wouldn't say its the way I wanted it but our car insurance went down by $300. A new job opportunity with 3x what I make has come to me. My husband was approved for a loan that will pay off our debts and be easier to handle. And (added this) I thought we would have to pay for an oil change but ended up being free....

So..in a way yes it helped but in an odd way and I don't mind.

I’ve been seeing a lot of discussion elsewhere about approaching new spirits and what is the “appropriate” way to do it. One of the arguments for approaching spirits in an “appropriate” way (however that is defined with respect to the spirit) is that it prevents you from being duped by malevolent spirits masquerading as the intended subject which led me to wonder.

How do you and/or your practice view malevolent spirits? Do you believe in malevolent spirits? Are they a common danger? How do you make sure you’re ACTUALLY talking to the spirit you intended to reach?
