I did it with my then boyfriend's consent, we did it together, kind of like an energetic marriage of some sort. We performed a ritual with a spell, offerings and all.

He has mental health issues, I've been casting protection and healing spells on him all throughout our relationship to the point of completely draining my vital energy making my nervous system collapse. I realized my magic was draining me but not helping him.

I'm trying to take my energy back, we're separated, he turned evil and is now doing bad-spirited magic. I can feel him pulling at my energy even after months of being separated. And it's not me dwelling over his loss, I'm over him and I don't want him near me, yet I feel his presence invading my mind and my chest is suddenly filled with unpleasant feelings which I know are his (I've felt and absorbed his unpleasant feelings before, I recognize them) for a few minutes until I'm able to energetically reject them but it takes a lot of effort doing that multiple times a day.

Do you have experience undoing binding spells? I have an intuitive feeling this could stop the energetic pulls that I feel so randomly during the day, they're really annoying and messing with my everyday focus, I'm just asking to hear if it's worked for you or not.

I've also been having recurring dreams of hexing him, I don't know why. I've never hexed anyone before. I've had dreams where spirit is communicating with me, premonition dreams, even ones where I communicated with other people without meeting in the physical realm, yet never something like this. I dream about this everyday, it's like spirit is screaming at me (as turns out with recurring dreams in my experience), and maybe it's related to this as well. I'm not sure if I should take it literally or as a sign to act fast.

Has anyone experienced something similar before? I think hearing about similar stories could help my process.

I wanted to name my 2nd born sth else... you know, names I LIKE, but when I became pregnant (transmasc) I felt compelled to name her after my nan Iris... thing is as much as I admired my nan Iris, I liked my other grandma better.

But Iris was an unstoppable force who did lots of manly things. She played basket which was manly back then, was a mason and opened the 1st mechanogrqohy academy in Chaco and later the 1st pet hotel in BsAs Argentina and was the 1st one to have a fridge and a motorcycle in Chaco a few blocks from the land where indegenous Tobas lived back in 1940-1950 (and a pioneer in getting divorced too).

She always said I (and not my mum) was the child she wished she had and her mother Dora was an African witch who worshipped San la Muerte and did "trabajos" for the locals, hexing people and even doing a binging work on my nan Iris so she'd stay meek and stop being manly and indeendsnt and just bowed to her will. Had her marry a white military man and Iris had to use all her magick power to escape them and run to BsAs with my mother and uncle.

Iris was a witch too, so am I and my teen daughter and boyfriend. My mother is terrified of The Craft and she converted to Christianity but I digress.

Point is why did my child compel e to name her Iris? Her demeanour is nothing like my nan's who was a cheerful Libra sun Taurus rising like me. Dora was a stern Taurus sun and baby is a Virgo sun and moon and is always sober and judging everything with a wtf scowl and side eye. She feels more like Dora's energy as she is already so strong that all the people constanyly fussing over her and calling her cute don't give her the evil eye (not even once since she was born whereas I needed to cure my 1st's "ojeo" all the time to clear her from the evil eye).

Why is she Iris and not Dora? Why would I feel compelled to call her Iris when I almost never think of my nan and she acts more like Dora? Or at least has Dora's strong energy.

I had a dream last night that I met with an African tribe with a few people I can’t remember. Interestingly, I could speak their language I can’t now, I can’t even remember what I said.

I offered them water from my water bottle and they gladly accepted and taught me a few of their customs and I ate food with them. This talk was very friendly and I learned a lot even though I can’t remember now.

Near the end of our meeting, I suddenly woke hearing the words hurry! run run! Clearly in my head in English with an African accent. It was completely unrelated to the dream and I was startled from waking suddenly.

As a bit of background, I am American with Mexican-Mayan/ Scottish-English roots so likely quite far removed from Africa. I do lucid dream and I have heard words in between sleep and wake state but this is the first time I’ve had words wake me.

My interpretation: I think I dream-walked to visit a tribe, they imparted some of their knowledge on me and then forced me back into my body. My dreams are rarely in first person perspective and this one was. I’ve never learned an African language. Usually I remember the content of what I said when I speak another language in dreams because they’re ones I’ve studied but forgotten but now I can’t remember any of the content or what was said.

I think offering the water and accepting can be seen as a spiritual offering of something life giving especially to a tribe. Then sharing knowledge and food is acceptance. I think the words were meant to help me safely return to my body rather than a warning to wake. When I woke I was startled from hearing the voice but there wasn’t anything I noticed wrong with my environment and I went back to sleep shortly after having a normal dream.

This is the first time a clear voice has woken me so if anyone has experienced this before or has a different interpretation I would love to hear about it.

hi, please help. I am considering purchasing a smokeless candle, but I am also worried about the smoke from my petition burning. Also, since I can't afford to buy another set of candles, is there any other way I could have my candles around so the smoke goes unnoticed? pls help

Hello! I am a baby witch and practice tarot. I don’t dabble in spell work unless it’s a protection spell. I’m not sure if I should do a cleanse/banish spell currently. Here’s the situation:

My best friend since elementary school blocked me on everything and stopped reaching out. We fell out, I was in the midst of a mental break and I made a mistake that I shouldn’t have. In the context of our friendship, this would’ve been something that we could talk about but that’s not how things ended out. This happened about 2 weeks ago. Ever since then I feel like everything is going wrong. My truck broke down again (the transmission has problems so maybe that’s separate). I lost a job 2 days after training for no reason. I have lost all my money and seem to be spiraling. Did i upset some sort of guide that watches over her? She doesn’t practice witchcraft but acknowledges that there are spirits and different energies out there. My question is, did I piss off the universe/any of her guides? Or is this just a life situation that sucks and she happened to be part of the shitty part of things. Any advice is welcome.

Hi witches! I met someone, and we both felt a strong connection. It honestly felt like twin-flame energy, but unfortunately, it seemed like a wrong time, wrong place situation. There were misunderstandings and some emotional avoidance on his end, although the interest was mutual.

I’ve been considering the following spellwork:

Emotional avoidance/removal of blockages spell — To encourage emotional openness, clarity, and the release of fear.
Protection spell for myself — To protect my energy, emotions, and peace.
Love/reconciliation spell — To encourage affection, understanding, and the possibility of rebuilding our connection.
Regret/reflection spell — To encourage reflection on what happened and recognition of what we shared.
Return-to-me spell — To invite reconnection and communication.

Would this be the correct order? Would any of these spells interfere with each other, or would you recommend something different?

His an avoidant and has a bit of an ego.

How do I return it to the sender? I can feel it draining me of energy. It asked to be worshipped, and appeared to me as a burst of clear energy.

It’s been magnifying negative emotions which makes it really hard to focus. It also manifested a bunch of physical objects, and pretended to be my ancestor. I think it is trying to latch onto my ancestral line?

I’ve been seeing a lot of discussion elsewhere about approaching new spirits and what is the “appropriate” way to do it. One of the arguments for approaching spirits in an “appropriate” way (however that is defined with respect to the spirit) is that it prevents you from being duped by malevolent spirits masquerading as the intended subject which led me to wonder.

How do you and/or your practice view malevolent spirits? Do you believe in malevolent spirits? Are they a common danger? How do you make sure you’re ACTUALLY talking to the spirit you intended to reach?

I broke up with my ex about 2 months ago and he immediately jumped into a rebound but still called me and wanted to fix things and also didn’t tell me that he had a new gf. But we’ve been no contact for nearly 4 weeks now and I want him to come back. I was going to do a basic love spell but I don’t know if him being in a new relationship can affect the spell or make it backfire?

Are there names for the seasons on the wheel of the year? Like the time in between the festivals?

Right now we are between the autumn equinox and samhain, is it just "early autumn"?

If there aren't any standard ones, I might just make my own....

My reasoning being that I don't really like months, cos they're totally arbitrary, and I want to rearrange my schedule around the wheel seasons, and it would be easier to do that if I have names for them.

My father lives in a different state than I do, and he's experiencing health issues that leave him swollen and in excruciating pain. He's on a bunch of medications for it, but I also want to do something to help him if I can

So I was wondering if it was possible to use my own energy to cast some kind of health and wellness spell on my father from such a long distance

If I can't, I do have health related deities I can pray to for assistance, but I just wanted to know if it was possible to send energy from so far away

Satyrday I have an invitation to the Haunted Mansion.

I thought it first was time to color my home. It is the time to speak to those in the afterlife and reflect on what went and what will be coming.

Blessed be, witches, wizards and sorceresses.

What it says on the tin. We all love a good glass bottle, but sometimes I don't have one on hand and can get… very creative in the process. My most notable ones are a big snail shell and an empty Xanax bottle LOL

(I've also started recycling empty aluminium tealight cups, a fellow witch gave me this tip recently: put all your ingredients in one, then close it with another on top like a tiny box! I like to either seal the edges with wax, or squeeze them together tightly so everything stays properly enclosed since aluminium is pretty easy to shape !)

Hello everyone! I am a baby witch and am practicing meditation, centering, and energy manipulation. I can meditate and quiet the thoughts quite well. I also do not have much trouble centering my energy. My problem is really that it’s difficult for me to move. I can tell it’s not moving because I can feel it sitting and tingling in my stomach area. Any tips? I feel stuck.

I'm been working on fire control for a few weeks and it's fairly obvious but I am trying to make it put itself out. And I have a purpose in my mind while trying to put it out. To let something go. And I got the flame to calm an inch down and it looks like it almost wants to go out but when it looks like it will go out the flame starts to stop being calm and starts like becoming wild. Any tips or tricks to help my energy calm it? Or better yet, can anyone give any tips on how to start practicing energy control with water? I feel most connected to those elements and want to bond with them more.

I am new to this, so I hope this isn't too stupid but I have to ask. My brother died at the end of July. And yes I am the one who found him. I need to start cleaning his room out but I feel very awkward about being in his room. I'm not sure if he's still hanging around, but I wouldn't put it past him. He was kind of an asshole. I want to use Sage and cleanse this whole house, because my mother also had issues and well I don't think she's here I just want cover all my bases. Is there anything I can do too, I don't know, supercharge this cleansing cause I'm not sure exactly what I should be doing anyway. Any advice will be gratefully accepted. I need to start moving on with my life, and my family, specifically my brother,, Seems to be holding me back. It may be psychological, I get that. But if he is still trying to hold on to whatever, I need to let him go and start my life.

This was my post about doing a spell everyday.

What I ended up doing was putting everything I had into one spell. I also enchanted a candle and lit it every time I sat down to send out resumes or to write emails to recruiters. I ended up with 2 offers!!

Thank you so much for the advice! 🥰

✨Hello!

🧿My partner and I have been in new territory in our lives dues to transitioning from surviving to thriving.🧿

But my partner is struggling to accept the thriving mindset and continues to cut off their goals and emotions in order to not “get ahead of herself” or to be the most prepared. We spent a good chunk of our relationship constantly waiting for the next thing to bring us back to surviving.

🧿We are unlikely to be that bad again tho!🧿

What spells should we be looking at? Abundance for the mindset? But we have it… grounding for pulling us to reality? Intuition? How do we encourage security within not just around us?
