Friendly PSA that witch craft is a highly individualized practice that is deeply connected to one’s ancestors, unique sociological & psychological make up & cultural genealogy.

No matter how cool another person’s path looks from the outside one shouldn’t strive to exactly copy another witch’s path, energy, personality, etc. That’s not healthy, it’s not even witch craft, it’s just seeking to escape into the life of another witch & that’s not an empowering act.

We’re all unique individuals who are at our best when we embrace that reality. Seeking to emulate rather than learn is a step backward, not forward.

hello everyone! for those who work with/ honour lady persephone, may i kindly ask for the reasons as to why you do so please? what are the symbolisms that she has to you? :0 why did you feel called to her?

i ask this because i currently am bonded to (these are the words id use, anyway) another chthonic deity and, yet recently, received a reading that says that lady persephone feels called to me to aid me in my journey too. after the reading, i realised that i do feel rather drawn towards chthonic things, 'darker' things (but not like demonology, etc.) and so, that aspect makes sense to me (that i would work with another chthonic deity; being), but i'm not sure if i should at the moment. and so i wanted to read the meanings others have for; with her to parse whether i should/ feel connected enough to work with her as well, or if im just overreaching currently in my own journey.

many thanks, everyone! have a great day ahead! :)

So i'm new to witchcraft. I've always been drawn to witchcraft but only now realize that i've been using spells/magick a lot in my life without realizing. I was calling myself a witch as a joke but i dont think it was actually a joke now, tho i dont somehow feel comfortable calling myself a witch. I wonder if that could be because of the religious pressure i grew up in (i'm do have spiritual beliefs but i'm an atheist). Also i want to get more serious on witchcraft but something holds me back from finally putting it in practise. I think i'm scared of karma. Its hard for me to understand how broad can karma be. Any tips on how can i get more comfortable in my craft?

Also for those who use witchcraft for academic purposes, what do you do? I'm curious about other peoples experiences with it.

I've wanted to read about the history of witchcraft and witches but I'm kind of lost about where to start. Sometimes it feels like other witches just know so much about how witchcraft is suppose to be done and where all the rituals and originally came from and all that... So where do I start? What books on the history of witchcraft should I read? Which ones did you like and helped you on your path?

hello,

i came across a video of a lady speaking about the speed of herbs in spells. she was talking about how different herbs and plants have different timing of outcome, such as cinnamon to speed time, and yarrow to create spells that will show their outcome only after time.

I knew about herbs (mostly spices) used to speed up the results (think: the hotter the burn, the fastestthe spell), but I never heard of the opposite herbs. I was wondering if you knew about that and if you could give me some more infos or where to look them up

thank you so much

I have never been the ex who reached out, in fact it was always the other way around, from weeks and months to even a year, I always heard back.

Well this ex? Did a number on my heart, in the best way possible?
We were online friends a year, until we ultimately started dating last year around the end of December, and broke up four months ago this year.

He was the best! Patient, loving, kind, sweet and protective. He never shook his head at my silly quips like men in the past, but encouraged me and my thoughts. Before him I was in an abusive relationship, so I was reluctant to get in something else after him, but being friends with this man had me falling in love. He chose me and it was the best few months of my dating life. I learned to be loved softly and also how to communicate better without fear.

He flew down to see me from his state to mine, only to break up with me..he never said a why, and I never thought of it being someone else, he was fairly loyal, but he said it was a lot of push and pull with his mind. It was confusing and I was hurt to no end that weekend we spent together. We held eachother and cried all night.

I had to go no contact after that and I did, until he reached out to me to see how I was doing but it was more a check in as he heard I got into an accident and left it at that.
That was three months ago.
Now four, and I’m the one contacting him. It was a crazy urge and I don’t know why?! I felt insane!!
But he wasn’t upset when I called. He just laughed asking how things were. From there we talked about the weather, our lives good and bad, and just feelings.

I expressed how I still had love for him, but didn’t want him to feel I was telling him out of pity or that I was trying to change his mind or bring up old feelings but he said it was nice to still be cared about. Of course he didn’t share the same sentiment outright and I didn’t expect him to, I just smiled sadly to myself and laughed. He just asked me how I deal with these feelings and where do I put them or are they going to be something he will always carry with him. And I said well that’s what I’ve been doing.
He expressed he wanted to reach out but he didn’t want to use me as a means for validation or love when he’s feeling low thinking it would be unfair but that it was nice to hear from me.

I had this big pressured feeling to tell him how I felt, as he is someone who tends to think the opposite at times, but after I did it was like this valve on my heart was turned and opened letting all this steam and pressure out of my heart. I was able to breathe again. I felt bad afterwards when we hung up, but I just remembered the way we could still laugh and talk as if we were just friends again. It felt sod natural even if it was the last time.
I had told him he was free to call or text when the world got too heavy, as we used to fall asleep on the phone every night and talk of heavy topics, to which he said okay. I again apologized for calling but he said he could never ignore me.

I know it seems silly but it feels like healing in a way. A big part of me wishes I could just be done healing and completely over him but I know healing isn’t linear nor quite clean. I want to move on, as he has been trying himself, but it’s difficult. I just hope that after this retrograde it’ll get easier. Any tips? Thank you!

Hey, I was wondering if anyone knew how to do or how to start a baneful protection spell.
If someone could point me to a book, person, place, etc that could give me more information, then that’d be great.

I am NOT asking someone to do the spell for me.

I was recommended to do one since I’ve trying to leave a toxic environment and move into a more peaceful space.

I’ve looked up different things that were similar like, witch jars or “return to sender” spells but those didn’t feel like what I need.

I’ve also looked in the Encyclopaedia of 5,000 Spells and couldn’t find what I was looking for either.

* Note: I am a witch, just a beginner to doing spells and rituals. Please avoid closed practices*

Hello! I’m new to witchcraft, but I had a question. After about a month, I’ve gotten oddly good at sensing a presences location. Often, I’ll pick up on a spirits presence before my two coworkers, who’s third eyes are fully open, will see or even sense it. I’ve also started to see shadow figures out of the corner of my eyes. I’ve done research, and I think my ability to sense is called “clairsentience”? Thoughts?

Part two: The other night we were in my driveway discussing a random spirit I sensed on my property, when I felt a presence walking up my driveway. I asked what it was, and my coworker quickly ushered me into my house. She called me when she got home and said she saw a bipedal with the body of a man, head of a goat or deer running up the driveway. Apparently she also saw a spirit running up to the car screaming a few minutes earlier but thought she was imagining it as she was sleep deprived. Does anyone have any clues on what this entity could be?

Alguém tem alguma dica ou feitiço simples com o uso de pele de cobra? Pode ser de Proteção e também de sedução

I’m currently on my period and have been feeling called to use it for spells to better my life and I need suggestions on what to do
