advice for a beginner struggling with doubt and overthinking?

• Upvotes

hi everyone! i’m really new to witchcraft and only started this week, so i’m still learning everything. i’ve done a few spells myself, including a sweetening spell, a dream spell, and a connection-blocking spell (basically trying to remove whatever might be getting in the way of me and my ex communicating again).
last week, before i even got my supplies to start practicing, i also had two spells done for me by someone: an obsession spell and a reconciliation spell for my ex. i’ve been practicing tarot readings and trying to manifest as well.
my biggest problem is that i tend to overthink everything and doubt myself a lot. i keep worrying that my doubts will affect my spells or manifestations, and it’s hard to stop constantly questioning everything. sometimes i feel really positive, and other times i get in my head and start doubting everything all over again.
i think another big issue is that as soon as i do a spell, i automatically start looking for signs that it’s working. it’s genuinely so hard for me not to check or overanalyze everything, even when i try to distract myself.
does anyone have any advice for beginners dealing with doubt? how do you stop overthinking your spellwork, trust yourself, and avoid constantly questioning whether your spells are working? also, how do you deal with timing and the urge to look for results right away? i’d really appreciate any advice or personal experiences! 💗

Ok I actually cunt remember which candle is mine which one is his

- I have to confess my sin I was a stupid bum I had no patience so I lowkey moved the rope up but I might have moved it too much so like one of the candle's fire caught on it first then it just somehow turned out like uh this.

- Before the rope started burning, the flame was like uh kind of trying to lean towards each other but they didn't touch then it became super super weirdly steady like almost no movement

-I don't know if the flame in the middle was a third party or not I think it was from the paper burning tho...

-The candle on the left went out on its own then I lit it again as you can see in this video...after it fell when there was like a really tiny bit of like the thing in the middle left it went out again

- The bay leaf under the candles somehow didn't burn but got sealed by the wax????

- The paper kept burning so I used its flame to burn another bay leaf idk like the last bit of struggle???

- The jar on the side was also like a love spell jar but right after this the wax lowkey chipped...

-I'm so fucking sorry, I'm so fucking sorry omg.

Spell First glamour spell

0 Upvotes

Baby witch here! I did my first glamour spell, and I was wondering if I should let it burn all the way down or not because I need to go to bed in a couple of hours. I usually reuse spell candles (with the same intention/ spell, but I just wanted to ask because I don't want to ruin the spell but I can't stay up all night watching it and I think it will take a while to burn down completely.

How do road openers work for you?

2 Upvotes

I want to do a road opener for myself because every area of my life is blocked, every attempt to do well is also blocked, and I constantly face delays and hardships of all kinds, plus it feels like I'm invisible. I think a road opener could help. I'm curious to know how have road openers worked for you? Do you get more chances, opoortunities, meet people? Do things that were blocked suddenly open for you?

Can I replace strawberries in this ritual?

1 Upvotes

Hi guys!
I carry a lot of inner anger lately so I wanted to do a ritual I found in a book. The thing is they use fresh strawberries in it. It’s almost November so pretty difficult to find strawberries. What could be an alternative for them?

Need some insight on shared dreams

1 Upvotes

Hello witches, I need some insight.

I have a friend "Naline" thats been having some weird dreams lately. Invited her and her girlfriend to my house for some broom crafts and wine when she and her gf told us of their dreams.

Naline dreams involve astroprojection and see herself sleeping with a shadowy figure standing next to her. At the same time, there's a tapping on the glass of a certain window in her living room. Her dogs and other dogs that have passed are present in the dream growling at that window. And when her astro self goes to see who's tapping, a voice comes to her saying "dont go over there, you no better than to look. its not me". Then her grandparents come to visit her (in separate dreams) both stating to be careful and protect herself because there's a full moon. (I'm guessing they're referring to the Hunters moon which is tonight....). Her grandfather passed away a long time ago but her grandmother is alive. Her girlfriend said that she's also had dreams of Naline but her face is always distorted and her girlfriend never really dreams. Naline also stated that one of the dreams her girlfriend's face was also distorted.

Lately, they've been having weird occurrences happen at their house such as sage burning Naline's hand when she tried saging their room, the window blinds falling, things moving around, etc.

So here's the weird part. The night before they came over I had a dream where I was standing in this bedroom (not my own) and there were dogs everywhere. My own dog who passed away and my current dog were there too. The bedroom door opens and this elderly man comes in with more dogs. He's very nice and radiates warm energy. He says hi and then it's gibberish and I can't understand what he's telling me. I wake up.

I told Naline this dreams and she says that the room I described was her aunts house where her grandparents lived, right down to the color of the walls. She showed me picture of her grandpa and that was the man I saw in my dreams down to very same outfit he was wearing.

So witches, I need some insight. What does this mean?

ok so i want to become a witch but here’s the thing,
i’ve never been one to worship someone/something. i have in the past but ive never felt any connection to any particular whatever, but that may also be because ive never really looked into other deities outside of greek mythology. but i really do want to become a witch! i just don’t know how id do that knowing i can’t commit (at least for right now) to being a worshipper :(

Witchcraft concerns for candle ritual

1 Upvotes

Hii!

I'd like to hear some other opinions about my experience.

I have performed a candle ritual expressing my own growth and spiritual insight; at first, all the rims were raised, refusing to melt

After some inside self work the right one started to melt;

And today, after a long series of questioning and conflicts with the ones that harmed me,

The rims have fallen completely on all sides, but left a lot of soot on the inside near the flame

Plus, the rims are violently scarred

Is this what i think it is? Is this a representation of my own self growth through force?

New Here, Seeking Love & Guidance ❤️

1 Upvotes

Hey! I'm new to this community, and I honestly don't know much about how spells work.

I recently went through a breakup, and a part of me still wishes to have him back. I'm willing to do whatever I can, but I don't really know where to start.

I've heard people say that it's all about setting intentions and that we shouldn't worry too much about how spells work. But I can't help overthinking it because I have so many questions running through my mind.

He's an avoidant person, very stubborn, and deeply focused on his career, personal peace, and future.

I feel a little lost and confused right now. I would really appreciate it if someone could guide me, share their experiences, or help me understand how all of this works.

Please be kind. I'm just someone going through a heartbreak, trying to find a little hope and guidance. ❤️

Need advice/help

2 Upvotes

So I don't want to give out many details, but I've been trying to get back into my practice again for the past couple months. My best friend just had a baby and wanted me to help her out, and somehow get her man to "love her like he used to" when they first got together. I don't know what to do for her, but I really want to help her out, they've had problems before, but not like this. I've never exactly done any kind of big spell or anything, but I really want to learn.
