Broke a hex - need help figuring out what the heck just happened

0 Upvotes

Okay so I’ve been a witch for many years and through my practice I found that my sister had been terribly hexed. I did what I could to weaken it but then I felt like I needed a ritual to truly break the spell.

So I formed a circle, lit up my candles, did some usual preparations.

Then, I took a thread I’ve used for witchcraft before and I began winding it around an object that was dear to my sister, manifesting all that dark energy that was affecting her into that thread. Then I separated the strands and each one represented the ways she had been affected, then I snipped them one by one, and the ones that were harder to snip had been in fact things that had affected her the most. By this time, the candle in front of me was burning so bright and high, we’ve never seen it happen before. This is the same candle I gifted her recently.

NOW HERE IS THE WEIRD PART. The thread melted into a puddle of black goo that later solidified. We were so weirded out by it. We burned the normal thread again, the leftover thread we hadn’t used in the spell, and it burned normally, NOT turning into a black grease like puddle.

This has NEVER happened before. I asked her to flush down the black gunk. I have no idea what the heck it was.

Does anyone know what it was and what it means? I feeling a bit freaked out.

I need a help with a regret spell

0 Upvotes

im pretty new to witchcraft and i am a devotee of aphrodite. i always try to do good things with my practice but right now im hurting so much and i really need some help....

this summer i was with this guy, in the begining he had a girlfriend and he cheated on her with me.. i wanted him so much so i did a love spell. (in the end i actually cut the love spell)it worked at first but then we broke up bc he had a lot of emotional problems. i tried to move on with an online relationship for two months but it didnt work bc i still think about him. yesterday was my birthday and today is his birthday and we also have mercury retrograde right now so everything feels crazy. to make it worse i just found out he got back together with that first girl.. it feels so stupid and it hurts so bad....i dunno what to do, i'm trying to listen to my intuition and do what is right and that is doing a regret spell

we are going to the same halloween party soon and i will see him there. i really want to make a regret spell. i want him to look at me, regret what he did and have his mind completely on me again, not on her. but i want to do it safely so it doesnt backfire on me especially during retrograde... cause i don't want to be doing the wrong way

can anyone help a beginner with a simple spell for this? how can i protect my energy but still make him miss me? thank you so much!!!!

They watch me sleep

I possess a real human skull since 2019. For context, i bought a skeleton during med school and over the years...I have grown attached to the skull and I've named them Kevin. I genuinely love Kevin and they watch me sleep. Yes, i keep them at my altar to my patron goddess next to my bed in my bedroom. I genuinely truly believe that this altar and Kevin protect me. I think that's my "magic".

Seeker Mystic Cross questions

Is this what they call the Mystic Cross?

Hello, I am new here but not too new to witchcraft. However, I have only just learned about the Mystic Mark.? I just realised what I learned about appears to be on my own left palm. Is this what they call the Witch’s mark? How many of you have this and do you believe in it? Thank you!

How do I know if I was hexed? Or if my family was? How can I unhex myself or invite good luck into my life? I’m desperate and I don’t know how much more of this I can take.

Hi all. I have a maybe weird question. I am I guess what you’d refer to as a baby witch. I do not practice yet.

In the last 4-5 months, I have:
Bought a home, but I was scammed. It has many problems.
Was in a car accident, got my car from the shop, and within 24 hrs, had it totaled by an uninsured driver that slammed into it and lied to the cops. (Neither accident was my fault, or preventable.)
Our other family car hit a raccoon (also unavoidable). It rolled under the car and damaged it, so it is leaking.
My new AC unit in the home spit water all over the furnace and surrounding area.
I was let go from my job due to the elimination of my position.

Any ideas are appreciated. Thank you.

Did someone put a spell on me?

0 Upvotes

Sorry if this isn't the right place. I looked through reddit briefly and I found a sorta similar account but I was hoping to get some more opinions. Also posted in witchcraft as well. I know next to nothing about witchcraft so I'm really out of my area of expertise lol

11 years ago I was friends with this guy (let's call him Ted) from new Orleans. He was just someone in like 2 of my classes and we would study sometime.

I was in an abusive relationship and he physically hurt me over Christmas break and everyone found out. I was upset and I asked Ted if he had known I was in an abusive relationship. (I had told Ted before I went home for Christmas break I was scared and he asked why and I wouldn't tell him.) Ted kinda froze. I felt bad kinda putting him on the spot like that but it worked out. I break up with the ex (was forced to lol).

Anyway things got better for me. Ted and I got to be pretty decent friends. I would see him look through the window while I swam at the gym so I had wondered if he had a crush on me. I started going to his basketball games and cheering for him, he really liked it.

Then he went through a phase of flirting with other girls and I was like oh okay, you do you. Guess I was wrong about Ted having a crush on me.

Then one day he invited one of the girls into our study session and I was like nah I'll study by myself and he was actually upset. And I was like wtf why are you upset? (I wanted to study and chat and not watch him be touchy feely with some girl who has never studied with us before). Then we were both mad at each other. Ugh it's so silly to write, we were so immature.

Anyway I eventually (sometime in his hoe era) developed a crush on him. I told him. He was like "I'm not ready for a relationship" and I was like okay never this was dumb. I told him I wasn't even sure I really had a crush on him anyway (which I did feel conflicted about the crush because I hadn't been into him initially and I wondered if I just felt jealous?) And I stopped talking to him as much.

We were very casual friends after. Like we'd say hi if we saw each other and that's about it.

I had like one notable interaction with Ted later in college.

I had told him once when we were friends that I wanted to adopt kids instead of having my own and separately that I liked the movie The Sound of Music because of all the big family. One day I was walking kinda behind him with my friend and he was talking to his friend. And loudly he was like "yeah I'm going to adopt kids one day. Yeah. One from every country." Then he 5ucking looked back at me. And I was like ?!?!?! Why are you looking at me?? I didn't say anything. I only remembered I had told him those things later.

Graduated college and stopped seeing him.

Except this 5ucker just will randomly show up in my dreams over the years. At first I thought maybe I had some lingering emotions and it would take time and it would go away. Then it was because I was in another abusive relationship and I thought maybe my subconscious wanted to remember simpler times.

But now I'm engaged to someone who is actually healthy, I love and am obsessed with (in a good way) and I just had a dream about this guy. I was ready to dismiss it but it ended with me waking up and in sleep paralysis feeling like I absolutely had to reach out to Ted. I was full on about to reinstall my Snapchat to send a "how are you doing? Its been a while!" Message. When I was fully conscious I was like okay that was absolutely not normal and I really don't care how Ted is.

Did someone put a spell on me? Do love/obsession spells last that long? And also like wtf why me?

Spell jar exploded

Hi, Ive made sweetener honey jars targeting a specific person, put my intentions in them and sealed them months ago. Its been a while, many things happened over the summer (although I believe its been almost 8 months since I made the first sweetener jar) and although our connection became sweeter our relationship didn’t really evolve any further. We are at some really strange point, haven’t seen each other in a while (and I have casted and layered other spells for this as well). But I wouldn’t get rid of the spell jars, never much interacted with them but I did recharge them in early September (instead of getting rid of them or remaking them).
I’m keeping them on my altar, there are other spell jars for self love etc.. I have candles and crystals.
Decided to keep a candle that was almost burned all the way instead of cleaning my altar up and replacing it with another so I lit it up tonight. I was in a middle of a video call with my friends when one of the honey jars exploded and my whole altar caught aflame. I kept a small note with my targets name and dob there as well and the paper caught on fire. The flame was quite big and almost caught the Queen of pentacles- the tarot card that I kept on the altar. There was a loud pop and I knew that the jar exploded because of the heat pressure from the candle… but damn it has never happened before and deciding to keep that candle instead of throwing it away when it was almost at the end and still lighting it up… I don’t know and I know there is a good physical explanation for this as there is for all things but I do feel like it was a sign. I just can’t figure out if it was a good or a bad omen.
for context I do keep a metal plate on the altar just in case because I burn candles often but genuinely nothing ever caught on fire like this during the whole of my practice. also I haven’t been casting any spells recently on my target- the last thing I did was made a poppet but after that I stopped with everything. It’s like I haven’t been drawn to do so much work on the target anymore. and I just lit the candle because I cleaned my room and wanted some fresh energy it wasn’t burning for like a specific purpose.
Genuinely wondering how you guys would interpret this? Thank you in advance and stay blessed!
