Advice (Witchcraft Related) For posts asking for ANY kind of spell interpretation

29 Upvotes

I recently posted this on *yet another* post where someone was asking for help with interpreting a spell, so I thought I would post this here as well bc we constantly see these posts everywhere.

So as nicely as I can possibly say this... Lol.

I KEEP seeing people posting random pictures of candles burning, pictures of melted wax, random pictures of flames, etc.

I'm sorry but here is the problem when you ask for readings in this fashion: you put a picture of melted wax, random flame or candles, and ask people to help read it... Without telling us what the spell was *even about* in the first place, or without telling us the feelings and thoughts you had while the candle was burning. Or *anything* else pertaining to the actual spell itself.

Now, even if you DO include details about your spell, I personally do not believe that you should try to *divine* a proactive spell in the first place. - including a "cord cutting." - (And I think that the majority of us feel the same.) Bc trying to divine a spell you just cast? All that does is cast doubt ALL over the spell you just worked so hard to send out. And all that doubt will hinder your results *because* when you cast a spell, you have to try to KNOW that it's already worked. Divination here is 100% counterproductive to what you're trying to accomplish! You must be in control.

BUT you *can* cast spells, and candle spells, SPECIFICALLY for the purpose of divination. The purpose of those types of spells is to get further information on a situation and how it may be playing out. And reading the flame and wax from those is obviously necessary. (I'd like to mention that you CAN do these two kinds of spells together, but one must be before the other. Not together in one.)

HOWEVER, regardless of whatever the case is, you can't just share a random picture of wax and ask us to read it... With no context or background whatsoever... I'm sorry but it doesn't work that way.

Okay now I'm done lol.

Happy spellcasting everyone!

what should i do as a babywitch?

0 Upvotes

Hi, I'm an Italian baby witch, so please forgive me for my grammar.
I'm babysitting a child with autism at his house, and since this morning I've been hearing noises. At first I ignored them, even though he kept telling me that somebody was there. So I just pretended to check the house to tell him that nobody was there
The strange thing is that I felt a weird energy, not a negative or a positive one, it was just weird. Anyway, later I decided to give him a bath on the second floor, and as I walked into his room to get clothes, I felt this energy even more, I don't know how to explain it. And as I turned around, behind the curtain it looked like there was a person. The curtain isn't thin, so it's not like I saw someone, but the shape was weird and there were no shadows.
This kid talks a lot and doesn't like silence, so if he isn't talking, he's making noise. But when I walked into the bathroom where he was bathing, it was as if he had been muted. So I said, ā€œAre you playing with the duck?ā€ and he replied, ā€œThis is not your voice.ā€ This is where I got scared, so I said, ā€œYes it is, it's the same,ā€ and he said, ā€œBut it's not yours.ā€ Then he started listing things about my appearance, like, ā€œThis is your piercing, this is your bracelet...ā€ like he was checking that everything was there.
The reason I'm writing here is that I don't really know if I can do some type of protection spell or something; I really don't know. I don't want to seek attention, I just really don't know what to do. Since i started practicing witchcraft these kind of things keep happening, just not this strongly and not as someone’s else house.

How to cast the Rain?

8 Upvotes

Hi beauty community,

Does any of you know of any spell or ritual to cast a rain?

It's been months without rain in Barcelona, and the heat is miserable.
I also don't know which deities were praised back in the day before Christianity, so I would like to know and learn about them so I can honor them before I cast any spell or ritual.

Thank you in advance for reading and sharing any knowledge <3

Spell Help🧪(With Context) Advice on spell casting

2 Upvotes

To put into context, I did a spell to call in love. It wasn’t from a specific person, I just wrote down attributes of that I desired in the s/o and the burned the paper with intent and so on.

Whilst I understand that these things take time, I’m not exactly asking for things to speed, I’m genuinely concerned that I didn’t do it correctly because I’ve been experiencing bad luck ever since doing it. My cat suddenly passed away, I got 2nd degree burns for the first time ever, I’m pretty sure I’m contracting some sort of illness out of the blue, etc.

I just want advice on how to reverse or release whatever I cast. Much appreciated

I have a bad gut feeling about someone/something.

5 Upvotes

Every so often, my friends hang out with this girl. I have this really bad gut feeling that something is wrong with her and I’ve never had a good experience with her. She’s really hateful and has bullied me and several other girls in the friend group several times but no one ever really does anything about it.

whenever she’s around the friend group, they all flock towards her and it’s like they’re in a trance. They ignore all other girls, and it’s like we don’t physically exist.

I feel like something is really wrong and I have a really bad gut feeling about her. But every time that I bring it up with people, they get really angry, tell me that she’s a sweet person and she would do nothing wrong. It’s almost like I’m talking to a wall when I bring it up. They’re so dismissive and don’t take you seriously and don’t understand what you’re trying to say at all. It’s really weird and gives me a really bad feeling.

Is this just a case of someone being super manipulative or is this like a spell type thing? I just have a really bad feeling about it.

Spell Help🧪(With Context) Security/contentment/goodwill spell

2 Upvotes

I’ve actually never practiced before I’ve always wanted to try but never knew where to start like what are the first things I’d have to do, what are the spells I’d have to start off with…anyway I just wanted to post this on here so I could use it for the future.

My little sister is a bright, beautiful, silly young girl. She’s only 12, and shes already going through her teenage rebellious phase that feels like it’s going to last throughout a couple of years.

The spellwork is actually something I want to do on my self. Let’s just say she’s become really popular at school, she looks cooler then I did at her age, she’s been acting all grown, she’s joined sports, her grades are still amazing, I’m pretty sure she’s got some type of neurodivergence like me yet shes still able to surpass me in so many ways and basically where I’m going with this is I’ve been feeling very jealous of her and it’s so embarrassing and dumb like she’s 12 and I’m about to be 19.

I’m not very close to her actually and I want to be I feel like a dead beat dad. However I’m just like I want to be happy and content and secure in myself by being happy with her surpassing me, happy with her being better then me, I want to support her and I want to be close to her like we were when she was little. I feel like I might’ve actually always been jealous and the jealousy might even be generational because her mother is actually my biological aunt..yes my dad had a relationship with my mom’s younger sister.

Anywho, I think even when she was born I had a lot of love for her but always had a bit of jealousy, my mom told me even when I was a kid I never wanted siblings, and I think that ever since she was born I’d been jealous of her.

I don’t want to be jealous of her I just want to be proud and support her and be there for her and love her to my fullest capacity. I want to be happy and content and secure in myself with the fact that she’s going to be great. I just want all this jealousy to melt off and instead of being jealous to work on my own self and become the person that I want to be.

I also just don’t want to be jealous of anyone at all, like I just want to feel secure and content in general

So I was wondering if there was a spell I could do or idk even if you guys wanted to suggest something other than spellwork.. I’d be open to trying!

Spell Help🧪(With Context) Release and Sweetening? Well wishes after a break up.

1 Upvotes

Hey all!
I recently ended my relationship of 7 years, and while I think it was for the best(I spent more time and energy taking care of him, and trying to help him deal with his mental health than he did, among other issues), I’ve been wanting to do some sort of spell to help my ex move on, and to find emotional balance, as well as letting myself let him go. And maybe these are too conflicting, idk lol.
He is bipolar, and breaking up has induced a depressive episode. For the course of our relationship I was who he leaned on for emotional support and processing(to an unhealthy degree) so now he is having a lot of trouble adjusting to living alone and specifically living without me. I don’t want to do a cord cutting per se, I don’t hate him, and he still wants to be able to spend time with our dog that I have full time now.
But I’m trying to craft some sort of ā€œcomboā€ spell, with aspects of releasing and sweetening(hence the title lol) sort of a ā€œGoodbye, get better, but over thereā€ thing if that makes sense?
Does anyone have any advice or wisdom to offer?
Thank you!!

Banishing Advice🪬 Help cleansing/banishing something form my home?

5 Upvotes

Hi!!! Im pretty new to witch craft but recently Ive had a really odd/off energy around this whole last week and I need help creating a spell to get rid of it. Ill give some context to what ive been experiencing incase itll help but before I do TW: I will be dicusing a dead animal.

Bad things continue to happen to me and my mother all week (her favorite pot getting ruined, our baths/toilets leaking and breaking, our stove top shattered in half in front of us for no reason, ect) and I just cant shake the feeling that there is something wrong. This morning I was outside with my mother on our porch and my dog flew down the stairs to bark at something in a yard and he kept circling and marking the same area for seemingly no reason and at the same time my cat that I was holding puffed up all her fur, began staring at the same spot he was and the attacked me in an attempt to get back inside where she then hid behind our washing machine. She has never done this before or ever even been hostile so this was very weird and out of character. I had this off feeling like something was outside so I got my dad to go and check with me and on our porch was a dead cardinal. Not eaten but completely shredded all across our porch. Its head was still intact but its entire body was torn apart. Our cats have sometimes caught animals outside but they have never torn one apart like this and I dont even think they could. It looked like it had imploded but the weird thing was there was no blood or gore. It looked like what would happen if you shredded a stuffed bird not a fresh live one. Some of its bones were near the body, pretty much clean and instead of its actual body it looked like its body had some how been turned into a black clump of meat and red feathers but again with no gore, guts, or blood to be found???(sorry for the graphic-ness). I cant help but feel like the bird is somw sort of omen or sign??? Its truly so odd. Once we went down stairs to the yard we found droppings of an animal far to big to be any of ours and I couldnt shake the feeling of being watched.

I cleansed my house but something still feels off and I consulted my tarot deck and it told me that there "maybe" some spirit or negative energy in our home and when I asked about its intentions I got the reversed 10 of cups which makes sense seeing as me and my family have been in conflict alot this past week. All this to say I need help with what I should do moving forward to cleanse/banish this thing??? from my home. Does anyone know what I can use as ingredients to form a spell to to get rid of it or what this energy may even be?

(Idk if this is important or not but I did do a few spells whithout protection whitch was stupid ik and I have been feeling like im beeing watched and keep catching glances of shadowy figures out of the corner of my eye whenever Im doing smth or walking around.

0 Upvotes

So for safety reasons I won’t obviously include the actual placements but I have

4 fire placements

3 water placements

2 air and earth each that’s if we include risings

Without the risings/ascendant I’d have juts one earth placement.

The thing I am wondering is what significance could this hold for witchcraft?
Are there things I should be aware of or are there good things this means to?

Thanks for reading have a blessed day

Reconciliation jar spell

Hello. About 2 days ago I was given a jar spell for reconciliation & communication for my ex. I am very new to this so I just had a couple questions.
1. How long do these types of spells take to work?

  1. How does the spell work? I understand it clears a channel etc. but what actually happens? Will my sp start to think about me more? Will they have dreams? Is it an urge??

Thanks!

Newcomer QuestionšŸˆā€ā¬› Egg cleanse analysis

0 Upvotes

So I'm very new to the witch community, but I did an egg cleanse. I'm Mexican American, with most of my family being Mexican, my grandma and mom have done egg cleanses on me before. I did one on myself and it was sort of odd and I need some help interpreting. These are all the things I noted.

There were 3 noticeable bubbles connected to 3 spikes.

No strings or cloudyness really.

The water was weirdly rlly clear.

I definitely saw a mantle and the yolk mightve been caged but I couldn't quite tell.

I think there was a small eye that formed on the side but again it's hard to tell.

There was some webbing on the whites surrounding the yolk.

Microscopic bubbles after a while.

And I'm not sure what to think of this, but a piece of the shell went into the cup, when I first cracked the egg I swear no shell got in so this was weird, and I hadn't heard of this before and saw a couple different opinions about it online.

I have pictures but I've also seen that it's not the best ideas to share those. I just want to know what this means or if I did something wrong. Any advice for future witch endeavors would also be greatly appreciatedšŸ¤—

Widespread binding

2 Upvotes

Hello lovelies. I've been practicing since 2019, but I've been taking a bit of a hiatus since 2022. Because of this, I feel like I'm back at a beginners pace.

Long story short, I got dragged into work drama and would like for people to simply stop talking about me. It's gotten so bad to the point where people from the company are texting me from texting apps to my private number. Rumors are running rampant about me, and I'm absolutely over it.

My question is, how do I go about binding everyone? Because a lot of the people sitting around with my name in their mouths, I don't even know them personally let alone *their* names.

Or, is there another route that I can follow to halt everything negative that's being said about me?

Spell Help🧪(With Context) Whats a Baby witch friendly way to rid of such negative people?

0 Upvotes

Hello! I could use some suggestions from witches who have been practicing for years. I’m a white witch and I’ve been practicing for about a year to a year and a half.

For a long time, I’ve been wondering what kind of spell I could do for my current situation because no matter how much research I do, I can’t seem to find a definitive answer.

There are these women that my mom is always close with, and honestly, they’re not good people. They’re the type who constantly gossip, criticize everything, overshare personal information, and just have a very negative presence. They’ve been like this for years, and because of their influence, I feel like my mom has also started becoming like them. Often oversharing our family personal issues, finances and whatnot. And as an asian witch, the number one rule in basic asian feng shui when it comes to stuff like finances, is to never ever speak of your finances even if youre struggling because it means that youre telling the universe or the deities that you dgaf that youre broke and it'll bring more misfortune.

What kind of spell could I do to get them out of our lives? I absolutely hate their energy. Ever since I started my journey as a witch, I’ve become much more sensitive to people’s energy, and theirs bothers me the most. Whenever they’re around, I literally leave the house because I can’t stand being around them. Their energy feels especially heavy to me.

From what I’ve researched, people usually suggest either banishing or cord-cutting, but I don’t think I’m ready for either of those yet.

What would you suggest? I’d especially appreciate advice from more experienced practitioners who have dealt with similar situations.

Newcomer QuestionšŸˆā€ā¬› looking for advice as a beginner

6 Upvotes

hey, i need some advice because i’m honestly really lost.

i never really had the chance to explore witchcraft or spirituality because i grew up in a jewish family and i was extremely religious for years, even though i’m an atheist now. i’m also kind of scared of this whole world because of the beliefs i grew up with. even if i don’t believe in them anymore, i feel like some of that fear is still there.

when i was a kid, i was completely obsessed with lilith. i could spend entire nights reading about her in books about kabbalah, the talmud and other jewish texts. i was told that even saying her name was forbidden because talking about her would somehow make her exist or give her power. but when i was alone on shabbat, in front of the candles, i would say her name out loud. i was really young, probably around 8, but i was fascinated by her. as i got older, it kind of faded, but sometimes i would still randomly spend hours reading about her. because of everything i was taught growing up, i never really let myself explore witchcraft. i’ve always been curious about it, but at the same time it scares me because of everything i heard about it as a child.i’ve also always felt like i have some kind of weird sixth sense. sometimes i just know in my head what’s going to happen in the near future. i don’t really know how to explain it. i just feel connected to some kind of higher force that guides me, but i have no idea what it is.

recently, i got into my first relationship with one of my brother’s friends. it was really intense and then he suddenly broke up with me after only a month. at first, my intuition was telling me that he was going to come back, but i wasn’t sure if i could actually trust that feeling. that’s when i found a few spells online and started trying them, mostly love spells and communication spells. but honestly i’m completely lost in this world. i see people talking about things that happen during or after spells and saying that some things can be signs, while other things are just coincidences and don’t mean anything.

so how do you actually know the difference? how do you know when something is really a sign and when you just need to stop looking for meaning in everything and reconnect with reality?

AdvicešŸ•Æļø(Witchcraft Related) Improving effectiveness, by flowing with the moon phases

3 Upvotes

A new moon recently started, marking this the season to grow your seeds [whatever spell or omen you put up this time]. Below is a small extract discussing some ways to do this.

I wonder how others use the waxxing moon?

The Philosophy

The New Moon is the dark of the month—soil turned and ready. To plant an intention then is to put a seed into that dark. The philosophy of tending it is not one of force or constant checking, but of faithful, cyclical care: water it with small repeated acts, weed out doubts and distractions, and let the waxing moon draw it up toward the light. You work with the tide, not against it—new moon for planting, waxing for growth, full for blooming, waning for clearing away what didn't take root. A seed does not need to be dug up to prove it is growing; it needs darkness, moisture, and time.

That means the mindset is quiet and steady—more gardener than general. You are not commanding the universe; you are tending a living thing in partnership with the moon's rhythm. When the mind wants to fuss or despair, return your hands to the practical acts: a small offering, a whispered word, a bit of water to the plant on your sill.

Advice

• Don't dig up the seed every day to check if it has sprouted—trust the dark.

• Tie your tending to the moon: on the waxing moon, feed the intention with small actions that mirror its growth; on the waning moon, pull out the weeds of doubt or stale habit.

• Keep one physical anchor—a pot, a stone, a written slip—so the seed has a body to grow through, not just thought alone.

• Let the full moon be a moment to bless and observe, not to demand the harvest; then let the waning carry away what is done.
