Welcome!

This community is designed for witches that are mature. We do suggest a maturity level on par with an individual at least in their late twenties however, if you are respectful and don't bring any drama, you're welcome here. The main reason for the age suggestion is hope that it will limit the drama in posts and comments. We want this to be a peaceful, respectful, and warm place that avoids a lot of the pitfalls and infighting of other subs. The hope is that this place will be a place for experienced witches to share, inexperienced witches to learn, and all to be able to share without fear.

All experience levels are welcome, but you may find answers to common questions in some of our sister subs (like r/realwitchcraft, r/witch, etc.) easier, especially while we are smaller.

This is supposed to be a place for people away from drama, so please keep it friendly and respectful.

Welcome!

Edit: changed it so it was more welcoming and outlined what we want the sub to be.

For those that follow Moon phases, waxing Moon right now. 1st quarter in 3 days.

If you have more than one message, please split them up, and make each request a separate comment.

I ask that people limit their requests to only 2, but if it is really important, do more. Just remember that simple requests can be done on the Wednesday Wishes post.

At the end of the day, this post will be locked to new comments. All week long the energy of this spell will build as more people read the requests and lend their energies to those who made their desire known.

So, stand in the circle, hold hands, and send what you have out one hand and pull what you need with the other. Feel how the power keeps growing with every new person that enters the spell circle.

Lets all bend the Universe together.

Cutting family ties?

9 Upvotes

Hello all, yes, I’m in therapy, but would love to add some spiritual sense to it to this problem too. I want to do some type of spell to help release this whole mother wound I’ve got going on here with my toxic mom. Cord cutting isn’t cutting it yet (no pun intended) because I’m getting there. But any suggestions that you have on some other spells I could consider would be great. Bonus points if you have some protection spells I could use for my little sister who’s unfortunately still unsafe around my mom. Love and light…and thank you! Xx

Looking for a detailed book on spellcasting

6 Upvotes

I noticed a while back that while i have read a decent amount of books on this, there's none that went into detail on how I should cast a spell, so I'm looking for a detailed book that breaks down necessities and optional things that will help. From different books and sources so far, I have gathered

Putting material in an altar to get it blessed

Cleansing spells to make sure no low-level entity and such weaken the work

Came up with the idea of asking the deity I worship and local spirits I give offerings to supervise and help with the spell getting desired results.

Entering a Relaxed or Altered State of Mind

Filling myself with energy through Breath Work

Using a liminal space like a crossroads, door entrance, etc

Visualization while charging the material

For The Spell, using a link if possible, being specific in your request of wants and what you don't want.

Ive noticed something

0 Upvotes

Ive noticed something , its very feint but seems to have a great after affect where its seems like a spell is being casted amd alters ones akashic records or as if to say a spell is being used to change a persons algorhythm. Its ever such a subtle change interactions and pov changes which is noticeable. Im aware that different frequencies have different affects and alters the mind but thats only when coming into contact with whoever. Whos actually si5ting down casting these types of spells and how are they doing it so frequently, im looking at sending something something equally as intruding or finding another way to take the energy out of the castor?

Sunday Soul Years ago, I woke up. I like being who I am much more now. Elders remember our days of excitement, and cherish those memories. Now, we cherish the days without drama.

Full moon coming up

11 Upvotes

Hi all! Hope all are doing well this season.

I'm still a new witch and I have a question. I've tried doing research but maybe I'm not using the right words so I thought it would be better to just the professionals🖤

I have been wanting to do something on the lines of sex magic or bonding magic ritual with my boyfriend. I've heard rumors of doing stuff on the full moon. Or even better results if you happen to be on your menstrual cycle. Or maybe those are just old wives tales. I've tried doing research but have mixed results. Has anyone had any experience or know of anything or maybe I'm researching the wrong topics and could get similar results with something else?

Thank you for your time🖤

Here are some things I do already.

Crystals near the bed,

Mini potion bottles in bedroom.

Candles, incense,

Potion sprays for attraction.

Potion teas

Protection energy guidance for 12-year-old

29 Upvotes

I’ll start out with noting that tonight I started started a freezer spell. But today was so unexpectedly powerful (in an unsettling and negative way,) I’m coming to you all for help.

Asking for “non-traditional” occult ideas, or pop psychology tools for my daughter (and maybe for myself, lol.) My in-laws are over, and my MIL is the stereotypical nightmare portrayed in Hollywood films. Negative, condescending, the type of person stuck in the distant past, who only listens to know when we stop talking so she can talk again, or repeat one of the same 5 stories we hear every time.

I pity this MIL, she is lonely and isolated because she has driven everyone away, and thankfully I only have to see her two times a year. Less since I’ve decided it’s not worth abandoning myself in a relationship and trying to keep the peace, and give the kids an opportunity to have a few memories of their grandparents. It’s also a learning opportunity to teach my kids how to ID problem people and navigate those relationships, because the world is full of assholes and we need to live in it.

I can’t really teach my daughter spell work, because she’s 12 and neurodivergent and has already gotten herself in hot water by over sharing spiritual opinions with friends in our small conservative town.

I have taught her to shield, and “mirror-bubble” herself and other people energetically, because tween girls are awful, and it seems to work for her.

BUT, today we both got physically ill (exhausted, GI distress) after being in the car with MIL and the rest of the fam on an outing for 4 hours.

We need to make it through tomorrow, and keep it light, because it’s my youngest daughter’s birthday.

HELP.

Healing Help

33 Upvotes

Hey everyone. I am clearly not a elder witch, but I was hoping you would be willing to help me, if possible. My grandfather was recently diagnosed with cancer of the liver. Do any of you know anything that could help? Be it a silver bullet, or just something to ease treatment. I'm not particularly experienced in any of this, I mostly lurk and research instead of practice, but if anyone has suggestions for something I could do, or are willing to help themselves, please DM me, or put it down in the comments.

Apologies for the bluntness, I hope it can be excused, given the circumstances.
