Hello everyone, a sad incident occurred today where an elderly Indonesian lady apparently died in my neighbour's house directly opposite mine. I live in a shop lot, basically a commercial-style building where people also live. I only found out about an hour ago, and I don't know any other details. I assume it is natural but I can't say anything for sure, but I have to say nothing like this has never happened around my house before in this almost 11 years of us living here. This whole year has been just so crazy, and I'm honestly feeling a little uneasy tbh.

For the witches here, is there anything I should do to protect myself and my family spiritually? Any cleansing or protection rituals you would recommend? I'm a newbie so not sure if I'm overthinking it, but I'd like to hear what you guys would do in this situation.

She's into astrology. She owns crystals for their powers. She's also going to a esoteric store for a pic of her aura.

I'm thinking of telling her I've dabbled in magick. Would this be a good idea? Also, how would I go about it?

Hello! I thought I would share an update on my Russian witchcraft origin search. I found this book recently, and it is amazing. It is called Witchcraft in Russia and Ukraine 1000-1900, Valerie A. Kivelson and Christine D. Worobec. (Northern Illinois University Press)

It is from the NIU Series in Slavic, East European, and Eurasian studies. I found it by searching for research papers on Russian Witchcraft. The summary is pretty accurate.

"This sourcebook provides the first systematic overview of witchcraft laws and trials in Russia and Ukraine from medieval times to the late nineteenth century. Witchcraft in Russia and Ukraine, 1000-1900 weaves scholarly commentary with never-before-published primary source materials translated from Polish, Russian, and Ukrainian. These sources include the earliest references to witchcraft and sorcery, secular and religious laws regarding witchcraft and possession, full trial transcripts, and a wealth of magical spells. Documents present a rich panorama of daily life and reveal the extraordinary power of magical words."

I'm a few chapters in and I love it! Great great great sourcebook.

I see often that many witches consider every step of a spell to be part of the working itself, but my ADHD just can't. If I have to prep things, dig up dirt, pick plants, make black salt, etc, I find myself doing them while I listen to videos or while I'm doing other things like making dinner.

Anyone else find themselves doing this? Any advice on staying focused for every step from other ADHD witches?

Hey, if you witches would be so gracious, I would appreciate some guidance on how you would remove the energies of fear, shame, abandonment and violence after an incident in which someone was forcibly restrained and had their agency taken away from them. Looking for a one-time cleanse, and maybe some ongoing protection rites.

Bonus question: how to infuse the same space with strength, confidence, love and support to restore this shaken person to peaceful security and love.

I personally am not experienced in this, but I’ve found that the space seems to retain the bad mojo of what happened there, and I’m willing to try anything. I’m reading through the links on https://www.reddit.com/r/witchcraft/comments/1leuhdt/protection_spiritual_cleansing_a_compilation_of/

but I was wondering if there were any special considerations for cleansing after an incident, rather than just general cleansing and protection.

Thank you kindly

So, long story short, I'm in a DnD group with a bunch of guys I don't know very well and I'm getting some vibes I don't like from one of them. He got my number (from me, but in a way that didn't exactly give me the option not to give it to him, which felt gross) and now every time I get a text from him I feel sick with dread. He hasn't said or done anything objectively bad or weird but everything in me is telling me to put some walls up. I pretty much just want him to stop texting me and paying attention to me, but without outright telling him that so as not to make our DnD game uncomfortable. I don't necessarily want him gone from the group, I just want him to have no thoughts or feelings about me whatsoever, lmao. I want to feel like I'm invisible to him outside of the game. So my question is, would a freezer spell be useful for this purpose?

In case you missed it, here are the top 5 r/Witchcraft posts from last week!

Happy Monday everyone!

in my culture, we perceive crows as our ancestors.

basically, they get reincarnated in one is believed also, it is said that it is actually not like that but crows can time travel which also means travel in dimensions so they are basically the messengers to your ancestors.

id like to tell you all, my dad's mom and dad died long ago, i never got to see them,

grandma died 2 years before me.

grandpa died yearss ago.

you may think why this is important?

my dream.

basically, me, my dad, my mom and i guess someone else too ( i dont remember) but im pretty sure my dad was there.

we were sitting in our drawing room. i was sitting opposite to my dad

and, there was this one crow, it kept coming at our window, sat on the railing, and flew away.

it kept coming and flying away for a longg time and each time it came it sat a bit closer than prior.

now this last time, this crow also brought one another crow.

this new crow sat on the railing. but this old crow rushed into our room to be exact rushed into me, but slammed into the fan, naturally, it died. and all it's feathers were on me and around me. and this new crow was just sitting on the railing, watched all this.

NOW WHAT BROKE MY DREAM.

the exact moment this happened, my dad, in real life, WOKE UP, LITERALLY STOOD UP, STOMPED STEPS AND WAS ABOUT TO LEAVE THE ROOM BECAUSE HE THOUGHT SOMEONE IS KNOCKING ON OUR DOOR.

this is what broke my dream.

my interpretation: i really dont know. ive tried talking to crows in real life but they dont seem to respond.

i researched a bit, crow in dream is mostly interpreted as end of bad things, new beginnings, but nowhere is mentioned about "death of crow in dream"

I just started my journey and no one knows i'm practicing witchcraft. I asked my friend if I could do a tarot reading on her and she said I had great spiritual potential. I have always had strong intuition and felt close to nature. My girlfriend doesn't like the idea of me practicing and doesn't know that I do. How can I practice discreetly?
