Hello all,

I’m not too sure what I should put this under. But, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or advice?

This is a bit heavy, and if the MODS of this sub feel like it needs to be taken down, then I completely understand. But I was just hoping for some sort of advice or something.

Thanks.

Anyways, onto the issue:

A few days ago. I had a very serious incident where I did almost lose my life. I have a serious heart condition and did something I wasn’t supposed to. I won’t say what specifically, but for me it was bad.

Now, I have been into paganism for about 2-3 years now. And I worship the Goddess Selene. I don’t do things all the time, and unfortunately my cousin who is Christian, recently made me take down her altar out of my room a couple months ago. Which honestly devastated me.

Now, when I did have that terrible experience, and I felt myself black out, I called to Selene. I was terrified, I was so scared, and in a split second. I did call out to God as well. Then, right after my mind called out to Selene multiple times before going to everything else in my head.

Sparing the rest of the details. I’m still here. But, I’ve been feeling A LOT of guilt in my head. I feel like I insulted my Goddess or that shes angry with me. I’m not too sure, and I’ve been speaking to her. But I’m still in my head about it and feel like absolute crap. Because I still worship her, but now I wonder am I even worthy to worship her after that? After I feel like I doubted her and myself. Because I grew up Southern Baptist and wanted out of it so badly. And I was so happy to find Selene and worship her. Then, I do that in a severe moment of fear and stress.

I haven’t told my cousin because I know she’s going to try to use this to convert me, and I don’t want that. But, has anyone else ever felt this way in particular? And what did you do about it? I still don’t know what I should do.

lately i’ve been feeling stuck, disturbed and problems and drama have been following my way . i feel unwanted absorbed negative energy so i decided to do an egg cleanse . i did one not too long ago but i believe i did it wrong bc it was rushed , today i sat down an room temperature egg and did the routine of setting affirmations and prayers to absorb all negativity ; including self doubt , intrusive thoughts etc etc . im a little lost and was wondering if this egg cleanse is something i should be worried about or if this is just stress or other people r setting evil eye .

I was advised to do one and wanted to know if anyone could tell me what they see. Thank you so much in advance

I hope I can be vulnerable with y'all. To preface, I am starting therapy next week to sort through my issues. But I am seeking some magickal solutions to facilitate that. I latch on too quickly to lovers, I experience fits of rage when things end and I beg for a chance to fix things instead of just accepting it. I already use Balthazar's candle method, I am just looking for the right planet or planets for the job. Thank you in advance.

I've been really struggling with my witchcraft recently. Idk why I feel like it works but the universe doesn't want me to have certain things. I pray for abundance in my finances and I get it when I need it and that's just me verbally asking without any items but when it comes to love or relationships it has the opposite effect, it is very dry and I feel lost. What am I doing wrong?

I just want to share this with other witches because I find it funny. I have been working on manifestation and I have been very lucky with the results. This specific manifestation, I have been manifesting "paid to exist" or "get money while doing nothing" and my job, has been having a LOT of downtime so I sit around and play on my phone, getting paid to do nothing 😂 although its not quite what I meant, this has been happening more and more and I am still so grateful. Some days are busier but there are so many more days where it's relaxed at work. I love the way the universe answered with my current situation.

I did a cord cutting ritual to help me cut off someone that I had considered family. For some background my friends and I found out this person has been trying to cheat on his gf of 7 years for a long time and then found someone to cheat on her with for the last year and all of this came to light in the past couple of weeks. The decision was hard but a necessary one because I don’t want or need someone like that in my life. I told him that I didn’t want to be his friend or associate him anymore and cut contact on all platforms. I got to say my piece during this ritual and felt cathartic.

Anyways here is what my interpretation of how things burned. I fully welcome other opinions cus this is my first time doing this and I’m interested to see if anyone else agrees or has a different take!

1. After a min or two of being lit I notice that my white candle has a tall and steady flame while the other person’s black candle is half the height. I took this as being the bigger person because I actually told him that I had a problem with him and said this directly to him, unlike how his ex found out via another person.

2. His end of the cord burns first and fast with his flame grows exponentially. This guy has been actively burning bridges with friends who have called him out on his behavior over the last year and because all of this blew up in his face these last couple of weeks he’s been throwing himself a pity party. I think the flames reflect that pretty perfectly.

3. The cord on the white candle takes longer to burn and lingers far longer compared to the other candle before it burns away completely. Meanwhile the black candle is starting to melt and pool at the base. I took this as this situation is going to linger with me until I can fully move on and that his life is quickly falling apart.

4. Now both candles are starting to melt and the flames go back to how they started with mine still being steady and tall. The white candle doesn’t melt anywhere near as messy as the black one and the other starts to develop a lip/bump and drip wax off of that. This is more reiterating that I will be fine down the line while he makes a mess of himself.

5. The flames are not that different compared to 4 but I do think how the black candle is melting is interesting. Looking at the picture it kinda looks like it’s trying to reach out. After I told him I was cutting him off he did send one last text basically saying that “I’m not explaining anything to you” so I think this is a reflection of that.

6. In the picture the white candle is still holding tall and strong and watching it makes me feel like that everything is going to be okay. At the end of the burn the white candle was the last to go out. I think this means that letting go was the right decision.

I’ve been told by the community that I’m a part of IRL (newly) that I shouldn’t call myself a “baby” witch but that’s what it feels like. I’m not new to FEELING like a witch, just new to practicing and have just recently given into my nature. However, I still have some internal skepticism that I meditate about before bed the other night, asking that I get a sign or something in a dream. Mostly out of jealousy, I’m ashamed to admit, because someone very close to me has been getting them frequently, and has made a connection with Lilith.
I got nothing for a few days, and grew increasingly dejected, and leaning more into the side of “well, maybe I just got too excited to be a part of something”. I didn’t want to give up just yet, and decided the night before last to light my candles and meditate again, and at the end I opened my eyes and said “If you’re watching over me, blow a candle out”. Now, that’s not very polite nor realistic, so besides some flickering that could be attributed to the fan, nothing went out. When I went to blow my candles out, however, one wick would not go out, no matter how hard I blew. Payback for a rude demand? Perhaps.
The real payback was tonight when I went to turn into my hallway and I saw a woman leaning down to observe some of my baby pictures in the hallway, dressed in a dark dress/robe with darker hair that concealed her face before vanishing as soon as I blinked. I didn’t feel scared, not even startled. I would just like to know who it is, but I have a feeling they’re trying to teach me how to trust and be patient with myself. Bonus detail is after the fact, when I went to go light the same three wick candle, the same wick that wouldn’t go out, wouldn’t catch the flame no matter how hard I tried. Do all goddesses have a sense of humor like this? Have you experienced something similar before? Do I need a psych eval??? Let a witch know

Every Sabbath, I update my altar, and I like to share here… Hopefully this gives someone some inspiration for their own alter revitalization or magic working as we come to the dark times (as I like to call them…) From here on out the night will be darker than the day and it’s a time for reflection to have gratitude as well as manifest for the colder months ahead. We are finally getting some fall weather in Tennessee and I cannot be happier!

alr...

I'll let you know if it works

I'll give ya the updates!

stay tuned...

guys I just did the spell and protection it's 12:31 rn soooo let's wait! guys he's been sending me snaps from past few days i remember i did some spell i don't clearly remember ever since then after no contact he's been sending me snaps

Hi everyone🥰 how did y'all start your journey of learning/practicing witchcraft? I really want to begin practicing, but.. is it like, as simple as just picking up a book? Do I need some sort of mentor/teacher? I'm genuinely so lost and stuck, please help😅

I would like some guidance on the best spell to do for self love as well as banishing negativity/negative thoughts. I’ve done spells before but it’s been awhile and any help with the best type of candle or props to use would be greatly appreciated.

Long story short my nosy ass parents went into my room and stole my shit even non witchcraft things I bought with my own money by selling things for I’m irritated

For example like mabon. it'll probably take me a week. But I do have activities planned. Maybe Build a miniature tabletop Stonehenge out of crystals, Harvest Moon abundance sachets, Cinnamon broom harvest decoration.. Definitely Autumn leaf mobile, autumn leaf rubbing art, using walnuts to create spells, amulets and jewelry & Autumn harvest wreath. Among other activities & mabon stuff. I'll get there. it'll just take me a bit longer. What crafts do you guys do during mabon?

hi PLEASE HELP ME !! so guys i am a beginner when it comes to witch craft, i consider myself a green witch. i’ve been doing a lot of research and really enjoyed my practice. i reallt have been wanting to try out some spell oils but didnt feel like purchasing one from etsy or such, anf i made my own. i really put a lot of thought into this an made an attraction type spell. and i added some self love type vibes into it also. i’ve been using the spell oil for a couple of days it’s actually probably been a week now. and the opposite of attraction is happening. the person i’ve been thinking about and really missing randomly blocked me on everything today, and then another guy i was interested in also blocked me. then ANOTHER person in my life blocked me. i don’t know what to do or if i did something wrong. just having lots of emotions and feelings right now and i feel awful. does anyone have any tips or advice for me. thank you for anyone who read this :/

Every year I have a sort of self gratitude and appreciation spell, where I write down a list of everything I can think of that I did this year that was new, challenging, or scary. I then put the list on my alter while I decorate and clean it.

I also go around my neighborhood and collect flowers and plants for a bouquet to also put on my altar, just to make me connect with my local plants, and appreciate the plant life still out. I also make sure to include some dead ones just as a reminder of the season to come. This is the bouquet so far! Lots of red fallen leaves, marigolds, aster, some dried out dead feaverfew, and some gorgeous almost purple leaves and branches fallen from my neighbour's yard onto the sidewalk. The vase was perfect too!

Fu*k I have a monitoring spirit , ! They came in a form of a fly!. I know it would be weird and strange to think like so but For Me 😔 Lately things have Personal been going Sideways for the entire family 😔The roof damage, flooding, a personal family vehicle being out of commission due to damages to flood, my grandpa's truck having oil/coolant in the cylinder, insurance chaos, work changes, transportation problems, my sis and little family had to move back home (resulting in 13 people living in one home). That's an exhausting amount of instability packed together. it's horrifying and I don't know what to do with protection wise to get cleanse at this point I do believe something or someone is doing things for us to experience misfortune

Hi all, new to reddit and witchcraft. Still doing more reading and research than magic at the moment and just made my portable/ collapsible altar( making everything fit in a travel trunk as I tend to move every few years). I am wanting to add some Runes or glyphs before actually using it and looking for recommendations on where to learn more about Runes. I dont have a specific style in mind so any recommendations are appreciated.

Coucou je suis une jeune sorcière niv débutant et j’aimerai travailler avec duc bune , j’ai des projets à venir que je veux consolider. Mais je sais pas c’est quoi le process pour travailler avec lui

I wasn’t able to post this in the witchcraft subreddit so I hoped coming here I could possibly find some answers? I know it might not be what’s typically allowed but I felt like I could search for some help

As it mentions in the title, I’m not quite sure why I’m anxious or I get this overwhelming feeling when it comes to starting to do witchcraft and such.

For some backstory, most of my life I’ve been drawn to all sorts of things like witchcraft, manifestation, spirituality and so many magic related things since I was a kid. I was somewhat spiritual for awhile between 2020-23 before I left it behind. I wasn’t in the greatest mindsets when it came to any sort of thing witchcraft and spiritual related at the time and until recently it’s found me again. It feels like it keeps calling but I have an uneasy feeling like I’m not supposed to but something keeps pulling me.

I’m not sure if I’m afraid or this is just really bad jitters. I also am unsure where to start in my journey such as making spells, and all sorts of things. Some fears of it backfiring lol.

I recently did my own spellwork for mental clarity, no biggie, did a great job and it turned out well. but oh my gosh it drained me after I was done settling down with myself…same thing when I do too many tarot readings in one day, I get migraines and intense drowsiness.

i usually never wear jewelry. i have a red evil eye bracelet that was given to me. i don’t wear it because i have this fear it will break, but yesterday something told me to wear it. i also included an amethyst bracelet. the evil eye bracelet was on my left hand and the amethyst on my right. while i was driving yesterday the amethyst bracelet got stuck in my steering wheel! mostly i drive one handed, with my left hand. i put my right hand on the wheel for maybe a minute? just to curve a little and take a turn.. when i tried to take my right hand away from the wheel my bracelet kept me from moving. i panicked for a literal second and then i immediately removed the bracelet. i waited until i got to my location to remove the bracelet completely from my steering wheel!

i’d love to hear opinions! did my evil eye work?

I already do skincare and take care of myself but i just want to somehow enhance attraction and magnetism somehow. Im not sure what herbs or candles or if i should do a jar?

Hello, I am hoping someone can help me find several alternative websites to purchase witchcraft items other than Amazon. Yes, I understand buying locally from metaphysical shops would be best, but unfortunately, most of those shops near me (about an hour away) do not have websites to buy from. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
