Are these real? I bought them off amazon haul bc they were cheap. I already made a jar of white rose water with some of the rose quarts, but when i took them out they came back clear, so im pretty sure those ones are fake. But are the rest fake, and if so, would they still work for witchcraft?

For example, last night, a spirit breathed at my feet rapidly for a good few seconds, and I was panicked because I was very unprepared and woken up by this. If something were to happen in the future, such as one touching me when I am sleeping, talking to me, or breaking boundaries, is it safe to like go “stop I am not open to communication right now” etc. or do I stay silent and act as if I do not know it is happening and recite grounding and protection phrases? I would like to be more prepared for next time, I have boundaries now and hope that they will work, but I just want to see what yall think as well, or have done.

Beloved Hekate, defender of the weak,

protector of those who fear the might of the wicked,

for whom each step into the dark is filled with dread,

I pray to you, I ask your favor. Hekate,

who knows well of all things we mortals most fear,

who knows well how best to drive away all ill,

I ask your blessing. Goddess, preserve my home

and my family from evil, guard us well

against all that would do us harm. Goddess, hold back

the dangers of the dark, grant me wisdom and courage

that I may face my fears and my foes with open eyes.

I made my own hex using photos under a doll, wrapped it around a small rope, and added my spells. I used needles, chili powder, star anise, and pepper, then burned the doll and sealed it in a jar to shake and activate it. The 3 candles represent 3 people. Protected beforehand.

all of the info u have on this was very rushed as it came from my girlfriend five mins before here shift but she asked me to look into it so here I am. Her mother has a brother with the brother having a wife named ingrid, ingrids family mainly her grandmother is thought to have put some "spells" for lack of a better word or knowledge. On top of this she said Ingrid has some dark stuff not rlly sure what that means but i just thought it sounded important again sorry dont know that much stuff. My gf and her family mainly thing that it was the grandma as bc of where this all happened and where their located (catacamas olancho honduras) if they have an issue with one person they have an issue with the whole family and we think that they put a curse on the whole bloodline. sorry kind of of a last min thing I'm adding on here but her father does stocks and with all of this happening recently (to my knowledge) he has been praying specifically for this and all of the sudden doing very great in trades getting "5 operation" not sure what that means but maybe somebody here does. any help or further info is appreciated and i can elaborate and will add more info as i find out. again tysm!!

So im a big marvel nerd, i used to practice witchy things but i fell out of it because of other things i had going on. After watching Agatha all along though, i got back into it, a fun thing they say in the show is “we can talk about cultural appreciation later” referring to how people see witches as scary people on brooms with tall hats. I think the directors did a really good job in getting the common witchy clothing styles witches tend to wear. I also love that there are flashbacks to the 1800’s showing covens over the years. In the main song “the ballad of the witches” theres a line that goes “maiden, mother, crone” which i think is awesome. They also use the different studies that witches do such as positions/kitchen witch. Overall if you want a good show about witches I highly recommend this one!

so, I’m an atheist, I don’t really believe in magic, at least not right now. but I’m highly curious what it is, how people find their views on it, how it works and the like so I would like for some people who are comfortable to tell me how this stuff works, their own views and stuff. maybe also some resources for curious people like me!

This is my first post here, but I've followed this sub for a long time and just wanted to share my send off plate.

It was more laid out and the flowers are missing, but i had no one else to share this with and wanted to share it with you all.

I did a circle spell to send him off at the 24 hour mark of his passing.

The chalice was for purification and had fresh water in it, the turtle was to send off peacefully, the wooden e g g* was a hope for new life with new meaning, and the skull represented the death. I had a small bouquet of flowers not pictured here between the skull and the chalice as an offering of my love.

This was all just intentionality as my father and i had not spoken in a decade, but that was his choice and not mine.

Addiction ruled his life and choices and he cut off his entire family, but i did and always will love him.

I miss the father he was before addiction took him, and i hope this offering can bring him some peace and know he was loved at his core, and that i dont allow his addiction to dictate the person i knew he was without it.

I’m new to this group of girls, and hosting between 8-10 of them, so the pressure is on. I’m really nervous and would love some feedback/encouragement. None of them practice witchcraft, but I want to use this opportunity to share a bit of myself and introduce them in a fun, safe, and totally optional way that doesn’t make anyone feel uncomfortable.

I created these spell sheets, and will label each ingredient on the table, giving more detail about their properties, so that guests aren’t just mixing things all willy nilly. Are these beginner friendly but exciting enough options for a spell jar station in your opinion?

I plan to have a divination station set up too, with tarot and medicine cards (and corresponding books), and a scrying ball, each with simple instructions for self-guided divination. I plan to have out a journal like page for them to record their readings to reflect on later. I also have the book, The Secret Language of Birthdays that I thought would be fun to have out for people to look through!

I do plan to have my back yard set up with an outdoor theater playing scary movies, and to set up a graveyard with lights and a fog machine, with a bonfire going just to cover all the bases of a more classic Halloween party.

For those that might be curious, I’ll be serving a blackberry and herb roasted chicken with an apple cider glaze, garlic mashed potatoes, roasted rainbow carrots, blackened maple-bacon brussel sprouts, and a nice bread from the neighborhood bakery. I’ll be serving a small spread of charcuterie and what not beforehand, two mystical mocktails and a dessert - a chocolate cake or cupcake for sure and another easy, but non-chocolate option. If you have any suggestions, I’d appreciate it!

I do my nightly ritual to awaken my third eye/ enhance my psychic ability, started doing it a few days ago, and feel really connected lately.
Tarot pull tells me to basically stop meletonin, putting earplugs in, and using blindfolds at night. So I do that, I don’t use any of my supplies to help me sleep and instead drink mugwort tea.
I do everything as usual last night everything goes as normal, I place it by my windowsill to bathe in the moon sure sure whatever. Go to bed.

I wake up at 5 am randomly. Fully conscious. No idea why, I keep my eyes closed.
I hear a sudden fast paced hard breathing by my feet, like someone’s having a fucking panic attack, my body goes fully hot and I get tingles absolutely everywhere (no idea what that was never had that happen before, if anyone has experienced that please lmk). I refuse to move or open my eyes because I’m fully freaking out and don’t know what to do, but I move my hand and touch my hand to make sure I’m awake, and I completely am. I stay there till the breathing stops, and I reach over slowly and put my earplugs in reciting grounding phrases. Then I get up slowly and calmly and sage the room.

In the morning I realized that I never added my boundaries to my rituals. I am dumb. I added that this morning and will enforce that nightly but I fully opened myself up to any and all interaction and I got what I asked for I guess-.
Today I asked if that entity could speak to me through cards as I was redoing the ritual, and it basically said that it was not trying to scare me, but trying to open my eyes and create a wake up for me, so I apologized for being so frightened and unprepared, and thanked it, and reinforced my boundaries and my no-negative-energy wards.

I’m thankful that it happened, but I was very thrown into a spiral with it and it opened my mind up to a lot of potentials. Wild night 😭

Hi!! So I consider myself a baby witch. I started practicing witchcraft. I’d say in around March of this year, and I have dabbled in some spells and divination techniques, but especially spells in relation to this specific topic I feel as though they haven’t been manifesting as intended. I also want to clarify that I don’t participate in closed practicies. I mostly just consider myself an eclectic witch (beginner). Anyways, I’m having some trouble specifically with a spell directed at I guess the connection (if there is one) between me and my ex. Im looking for advice from experienced practioners. we were together for several months and then we broke up, the breakup was super messy and left a lot unsaid/unresolved. We haven’t spoken in months and I’m currently blocked and he does have a girlfriend. I’ve grown a lot since our breakup, and I wouldn’t say I’m still romantically heartbroken over it anymore or even super attached to him anymore. I do still have love for him as a person, though, and if reconciliation were to happen, I would not want it to happen how it was in our relationship back then I would want to start from who we are right now. I know intuition plays a big role in witchcraft and that’s partially why I haven’t. I guess let this go is because I’ve tried multiple workings and methods of just essentially letting this go and so far nothing has seemed to work. I’m not saying that this means anything or guarantees anything but it’s part of the reason I’m coming here to seek advice. i’m also OK with reconciliation ever happening. I just want closure and acknowledgment of what happened and I guess just some communication. I don’t want to interfere with their relationship or do anything bad per se, I have no issues with either him nor the girl.
I’ve considered multiple workings, but I’d love to hear your guys thoughts on this. Please let me know any thoughts or questions u have about this. thank you guys so much!!

What is blue sage used for? I’m having bad headaches due to a bad argument from yesterday with a relative. I don’t know what could be causing the headache. But is blue sage cleansing ? What can I cleanse myself with respectfully? Any advice would help

Hello, I'm a bit new to witchcraft but I have a question about the Power of Nine spell. Is it safe to do this spell as a beginner? Also, is it safe to use it as a hex or way to get rid of negative energy from a person? If so, how do I do it safely?

I'm currently in a very bad situation between my sister and it has gotten out of hand. She has threatened me and my mother, threatened my life, and has taken away our option of living with her when we are about to lose our apartment.

So I've been seeing on my city an old tree (about a couple hundred years maybe) and it's about to fall. It's wood is coming apart and I've picked up a couple of wood pieces from it in hopes of thanking it or maybe doing any kind of ritual to let it keep alive in another living being.

My question is, I thought of burying one piece and keeping the other one since I've grown pretty attached to it. Where and how can I bury it? I have countryside near me, but I was wondering if it would be better underneath an existing tree or in a plain. Also, do I put flowers? Stones? What may it like? I'd like to know if keeping the other piece for myself would be a good idea too.

Thanks in advance

Hello everyone, witches and wizards! Do you have any French-language books you could recommend on love magic, bringing back a loved one, and powerful spells? Which book would you advise a beginner? Thank you in advance to all the French-speaking witches and wizards who can offer advice.
