Discussion Smokeless Cleansing Techniques

102 Upvotes

No smoke? No problem.

Cleansing doesn’t require incense or sage, and if you’re in the broom closet or have pets or asthma, or just have a sensitive smoke detector, you have way more options than you might think.

Sound: bells, singing bowls, clapping, drums, even putting on a specific playlist with intention. Sound moves stagnant energy out of a space in a way that’s genuinely hard to explain until you’ve felt it. This is usually my go to when people ask about smokeless cleansing and I personally use bells in my own practice.

Salt: one of the oldest cleansing methods we have and it goes hard. Bowls in corners to absorb, lines across thresholds, dissolved in water as a spray. Incredibly versatile.

Sunlight or moonlight: put your objects, crystals, or honestly just yourself in the light with intention and let it do its thing.

Breath: slow, deliberate breathing over an object or through a space. Completely invisible, zero supplies needed, and more powerful than people give it credit for.

Visualization: picture light or wind or water moving through your space and sweeping it clean. No props, no evidence, nobody’s business but yours.

Besoms/brooms: sweep from the back of the space toward the front door, pushing energy out as you go. To literally everyone else in your house, you are just sweeping. This pairs well with salt cleansing, can’t leave it all over the floor after all! This is the broom closet special and I love it for that.

Florida Water or herb infused water in a spray bottle: spritz your space, your linens, yourself. Looks exactly like air freshener. Nobody is asking questions.

Fresh air: open a window with intention. Simple, efree, and it works.

It’s good to remember that the smoke is a delivery method, not the magic. Use what you have, use what’s safe, and trust that it counts.

Spells Candle spell posts - safety first

45 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

We need to address a recent uptick in candle spell posts that do not demonstrate proper fire safety procedures.

As a beginner-focused community, safety is especially important here. Many newer practitioners are learning by watching what others post. When unsafe setups are shared depicting, unattended flames, candles too close to herbs or fabric, unstable holders, cluttered altars, etc.; it puts people at real risk.

Effective immediately:

All candle spell posts that do not clearly demonstrate proper fire safety will be removed.

This includes:

- Leaving candles unattended
- Burning near curtains, paper, herbs, fabrics, or other flammable materials
- Using unstable or inappropriate holders
- Performing spells in cluttered or unsafe environments
- Ignoring safety guidance offered by more experienced members

Please understand: this is not about aesthetics or gatekeeping. It’s about preventing house fires and injuries. Spiritual practice should never come at the expense of your physical safety.

If you’re posting candle work, make sure:

Your candle is in a stable, fire-safe holder
Flammable materials are kept well away from the flame.

The candle is supervised at all times
You are open to constructive safety feedback
Repeat or severe safety violations may result in further moderation action.

Let’s model responsible practice for our baby witches and keep this space safe for everyone. 🕯️✨

Question broken spell plate...

Upvotes

Apologies if this is a stupid question but I am not a witch or in this world at all but my girlfriend is and I accidentally knocked a perfume bottle onto my girlfriend's spell plate today and it broke. it broke into three big chunks and is definitely fixable but is it still okay to do all the same spells on? I just want to know if it would be better to replace the plate or if it's still usable all the same if i glue it back together? typically she uses it for protection spells and things regarding health and wealth, if that helps any.

Question brand new to this and unsure how to proceed

4 Upvotes

so ive always felt drawn to the craft, i dont know if its a spiritual thing that calls me to it or if its just generally interesting to me, but regardless this feels right for me. ive done quite a bit of research in witchcraft and how it works, but i still need to dive deeper into the history of it as well as its religious ties. im still unsure of whether or not i want to practice witchcraft along with a religion, but i will say i feel very drawn to polytheistic hellenism, wicca, and paganism. the point of my post is to ask for a little bit of guidance in the sense of like, what should i know and understand before i start practicing witchcraft? i know i should understand what it is along with how it works as well as the history behind it. i know theres a lot more to know and learn, i just dont know what direction to take here. also are there any skills and practices i should master or at least know how to do before jumping into casting or otherwise practicing witchcraft?

Discussion have you ever had an answer slap you in the face?

Whether it be from tarot or runes or bones or other divination, have you ever been told an answer from your craft that is just so blunt and obvious that you're stunned by it?

I had a silly one today, but I just had to laugh. My cat would NOT stop yelling at me. He was pacing, screaming, clawing at his scratch pads. I decided that I would ask what his problem was, then I got hit with the 9 of cups, except the artwork on my set has a cat with a bird in its mouth. "...um, duh, OP, he's screaming cuz he's hungry!" Sure enough, empty food bowl.

Quick disclaimer that no, he does not starve, I feed him regularly, and the vet says he is a healthy, happy kitty, and I practice tarot reading by asking small, almost silly questions. (I don't think every question has to be serious and "professional" all the time.) Even if I didn't ask the cards what was wrong, I could infer that he was hangry and trying to get my attention.

Do you folks ever get answers this clear? If you don't mind, share an example? I'm still learning, but I'd love to hear how others read and interpret and I'm fascinated to know if this has happened to anyone else!

Question What is happening to me?

14 Upvotes

So idk if thats even connected, but a few months ago i made a love jar for me and my bf so we wont break up. The relationship only was forced the last two month and we broke up anyways.

However i never disposed the jar or what ever, at first i was to lazy bit the more time passed i slowly forgot about it until now.

Also since then i feel like weird things are happening to me, like guys im interested in start playing/using me, or give me a lot of attention and then just ghost me first a few days and block me silently everywhere with no context at all.

(Honestly there were just these two, the first one played me extremely and the second one gave me so much attention and suddenly ghosted me and blocked me aswell, without any reason just out the blue and it was going so well too.)

I immediately washed and cleansed the jar out, but still idk.

What do i do? Is there a spell or a Jar recipe i could possibly follow to kinda fix that mess?
I honestly only had good guys around me since always, and suddenly it shifted rapidly.

Please help me out, if theres a possible cause or explanation with a possible solution i would be soo incredibly grateful !!

Question Question about raising protection for a specific item in the house.

Upvotes

I almost feel embarrassed asking this -
But I’m looking for any tips or tricks for heavily raising protection on a specific item.

The specific item in question - my AC unit.
It’s not old, it’s in great condition, and I have multiple great AC repairmen that check it.

Yet the past 2 years or so, every couple months something will bust it. By complete chance. It’s always something, and I’m so exhausted, and have spent so much money on this thing for everyone to tell me that it’s in good condition. It almost feels like it’s cursed.

I’ve put up protection around my house way back, but I’d love some tips for protecting my AC unit.

Spells Spell Jar recommendations

I live with my parents still and it is a really tough situation; they are very controlling and restrictive, weird about letting me work and what hours I can work, etc. Long story short, I am trying to move out by February of 2027, is there any spells I can do to help relinquish their hold over me? Anything helping me get away from them would be helpful. Also any spells to help with money would be great. I'm new to this and have only done a few spell jars, so I don't have any clue where to start

Question how do ingredients in spells work?

2 Upvotes

hellooo i’ve recently came across the spiritual/witchy bubble on social media and found it very interesting since i’ve had a spiritual awakening recently.

i have a question about the spells. ik that spells work with intention and energy etc but why put the ingredients in there? it kind of doesn’t make sense to me that (as an example) salt protects you or wtv. does that have to do with the salts energy for example?

i’d truly appreciate a logical explanation.

Question A lady asked to touch my baby at the esoteric store.

39 Upvotes

I wanted to buy some stones and a witch knot. I took my nanny with me and she was carrying him while I look for my things. I saw a lady talking to my nanny and eventually left, I asked my nanny what did the lady said and she said that the lady asked to touch the baby but especifying that it was not for bad energy but for good ones since he's a baby. I feel so bad I wasn't there to don't allow that she touched him :(
And I want to believe she had the best intentions but I can't help to think she wanted to touch him for some other reason. Should I do like a cleanse or smth to my baby? I have a lot of protection for me and my baby and I do a lot of protection spells.
Pls don't judge me, I'm new at this.

Question New baby witch

Hi! I am turning to you with a question about the beginning of witchcraft.

I do have a connection with all this for sure. I always felt it. But every time i try to start, i feel overwhelmed. I have no idea where to begin. What to do first to get into it. Where to get some more information.

I don't want to get my information from A.i. or tiktok at all. I want to do my own research and write it down by myself. But where to get good information? Are there any good books that i could find in the library or some good sites that are actually helpful?

Please, can anyone help me with this? Share some links for books and sites that helped you on your journey.

Thank you!💗

Question reading about someone i have crush on

i did a general love reading last week and i decided to ask about how things would go with the guy i have crush on. somehow “THE TOWER” came out but then followed by six of cups. what i get is that i shouldn’t cut him off unnecessarily but don’t build my love expectations around him. just keep a safe distance while still being friends with him and just keep my option open. im abit taken aback when the tower came up considering me and him is doing well together but it could have been hes just being nice to me and i took it the wrong way 🤷🏻‍♀️ does anyone have different interpretation on these two cards?

Discussion Candle wax interpretation.

0 Upvotes

I met and had feelings for an emotionally unavailable guy last year. It never went anywhere and we were good friends/acquaintances (we met at a sports class). We drifted apart due to differing schedules and commitments. We haven't seen each other in person since early January. And he stopped initiating any online conversations with me early this year shortly after. I saw the signs and got out of his hair/left him alone.

Last month I happen to do something that reminded me of a conversation we had, so I sent him a message. As usual he replied to me instantly, we had a very small chat and that was it.

TELL ME WHY a month later I wake up at 3am today because I had a dream about him proposing to me. Completely out of the blue. I have BARELY spoken to him all year but I've never had a proposal dream ever. Especially not one that I have woken up from.

So for the first time in years I've decided to hone my skills and conjure up a spell. I needed some mental clarity on this because it's been bugging me all day.

My spell's intention is basically opening a road to clearer communications and if he's not interested in me then may whatever has been disrupting my sleep and thoughts be returned to sender

Well here I am going crazy seeing two phallic objects. The first one I saw with the herbs I thought was a funny fluke. But my candle begins to crackle, I look over and my flame has done it as well 😭

Question Should I cast a hex on my country's prime minister?

47 Upvotes

Ik it might sound stupid but hear me out

In the past 2 months 21 students unalived themselves because of an exam scam (our lives depend on this exam)

N when the govt took a re-examination, the result was rigged

So millions students came out to protest (we just want the government to take accountability that is just what we want , they haven't uttered a word about this exam scam btw)

Yesterday in that protest this happened with thousands of students

They sent police to beat us to with sticks that had nails on them

They tore off women's clothes and humiliated them

The broke the head of a 15 year old girl, a young man, and a few others students

The broke the bones of many students

Even broke the head of a 5 year old

Threw tear gas bombs at us

Kidnapped a scientist on hunger strike for the past 20 days and beat his wife

Detained students illegally

I heard 2 students even died

Pointed guns at us

Beat up the medics who were helping injured protesters

And a lot more

The government refuses to talk to us and have declared us as terrorists

(The government has done even worse things in the past btw one of the example : killed 700+ farmers in a farmer protest ,they continued to call the farmers terrorists)

Im aware of the law of 3 folds, but i honestly don't care, we've seen too many people die, everything seems hopeless, our prime minister shall repent

Is it justified to cast a hex or a curse on him? And could someone please suggest a strong spell i could cast on him?

Edit; allegedly they even shot a few teenagers

Question LBRP/Cleansing Ritual

4 Upvotes

TW: Suicide

Hi everyone,

I have a question regarding cleansing rituals. I’ve done a few basic “housekeeping” cleansing rituals at my own place with success. However, my friend is asking for help.

There’s a lot of negative energy surrounding her condo complex. Her unit has a noticeably dark energy, and she sees shadow figures and has vivid nightmares with sleep paralysis. There have been 4 deaths in the complex- a murder-suicide, a health related death, and we just found out recently that someone committed suicide in the unit directly under hers. Since she has moved in about a year ago, she has gone through mental health problems and has felt drained physically and mentally.

She asked me for help, but honestly this feels way out of my league and we have a hard time finding someone professional to help. We just want her unit to feel safe and turn it into a positive environment. Prior to moving in, my friend was a lively, deeply empathetic and positive person, so I hate to see her struggle like this, and I hate seeing the light being sucked out of her. I feel like doing a LBRP is too complicated, but a psychic recommended that we try it. Also, the person who passed in the unit below is of Japanese culture and I think we should be respectful of that. Any thoughts on how to go forward?

Discussion Protecting Yourself When Reselling Clothes

3 Upvotes

Hi all, this one is probably oddly specific. I currently sell my old clothes on Poshmark, eBay, etc. Recently, my IG has started to really take off and I've gotten a lot more followers. I'd like to post the links to my stores directly but am apprehensive about possible nefarious intentions from others who purchase my personal items to do their own spellwork. Am I thinking about this too deeply? Is this even a valid concern?
