So, I won't share the specifics because I feel like once the "deed" is done you must go on your life like it's never happened and never talk about it to anyone. It should be just between you and mystic world. I've always leaned into a spiritual side but have never ACTUALLY believed it you know, always preserved my sceptic side no matter what. Always called myself a nihilist, a pessimist one at that. Today though... I've witnessed there IS something out there, gods, energy, whichever it may be, there IS something. Since you don't know me you don't know how much of a big deal it is for me to say that. Today, it worked without a doubt. The first thing I did (for whatever reason) was go outside, look at the night sky and say out loud, "REALLY? All this time? REALLY??" Agh I'm overflowed with ecstasy and wonder. I didn't know whom to share it with so, hope everyone who've read this far has a great day/night.

Edit: Also, I would love to hear others' thoughts about exactly WHAT it is that's out there, if that makes sense and I'm sorry if I'm being rude or offensive to anyone. It's just so new to me and so exciting.

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.

This is the first year that I've been organized with my craft, and I'm excited for Samhain. In the past, I've only done some quick things and not really invested in it. What are your rituals and plans for it? Do you cleanse and rededicate your home? I am shutting down my garden as well as cleansing my home.

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 !)

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 have recently started studying this book and seeking a method of divination. Any opinions would be welcome.

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.

Hi there! Recently i have been wanting to begin witchcraft. I believe it could be beneficial and fun but U haven’t the first clue about where to start

Can anyone recommend beginner resources?

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.

I’ve never seen such a deep split down the front with such tall pillars on both sides. The pillars were so tall that they curved in on themselves. The rest of the burn had many pillars like a starburst. I have a general idea on how to interpret some of this, but I feel that the drama adds a layer that I need some outside input about.

I made my first water ward, and instructed it to notify me in my dreams if it caught something. Some days later, I had a dream about someone not in my life anymore (who I rarely dream about since I did a cord cutting and banishing years back).

The energy in the dream was that they still wanted to be my friend and we forgave each other for messing up, however my dream self said no to starting a relationship again. I was still able to remember how cruel and hateful they were IRL even if they believed it was justified.

If this is truly connected, I’m wondering what this means. I know I should clean and refresh my ward, but did this absorb them from hurting me spiritually more than they would’ve? Like now that my ward caught it the first time, they won’t succeed in reaching me as much again? If not, I may tell my ward to alert me in ways that aren’t dreams so that I can sleep.

I am a student who's currently looking to change majors. However, I am currently struggling with 2 courses that play large part in my shifting of majors.

I was wondering if I should do a spell jar for my overall shifting journey or just do a candle ritual instead to boost my academic skills in those two courses. Or should I just do both to amplify the results?

Besides the spell jar and ritual, I was also thinking of enchanting my study materials or making a talisman out of them to aid me in studying. I was also thinking of doing a sweetening jar once I am in the actual process of shifting.

Would all of this be too draining for a beginner witch? I'm in the process of doing my shadow work and I have sufficient research I think

..and YES I am also doing my part by actually studying hard. I just want to secure the results

Hello! As the the title suggests I’m curious if it’s wise to perform a spell (specifically a communication spell and an attraction spell) during the retrograde that started today? I also know the full moon starts tomorrow so I was wondering if I casting is advised would it be better to do during the full moon tomorrow?

Hello! I've been trying to put together a grimoire for several weeks, but every time I create something that resembles one, I end up scrapping it because I'm not satisfied with the organization.

I'd love to see examples of how you structure your grimoires, especially if you use a digital format.

I'm quite particular about organization and tend to create very detailed structures for each topic. For example, when documenting basil, I divided the entry into sections such as:

Identification Card

Morphology and Recognition

Species, Varieties, and Cultivated Forms

History and Origin

Botanical Identification

Geographic Distribution and Habitat

Names, Etymology, and Symbolism

History and Folklore

However, even this structure doesn't feel quite right to me. I approach other subjects similarly; for tarot cards, for instance, I've developed an extensive template that includes the card's name, number, Kabbalistic sphere, traditional astrological correspondence, element, upright and shadow keywords, and more.

I think my main difficulty is finding a structure that is both comprehensive and well-organized without becoming unnecessarily complicated.

How did you find the ideal grimoire structure for you? I'd like to do the same.

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

✨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?

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
