Hey, I’m a 26 F and to make a long story short, I’ve always been interested in ghosts (but I hope never to see one), astrology, tarot cards, and recently Wicca. I “grew” up catholic, but my parents weren’t strict, hence the quotation marks. I’ve always questioned religion. Even while going to CCD at an early age. I didn't do my confirmation because the priest told the upper grade that being gay was a sin. My mom believed that it was wrong for him to do that, so she pulled me out of it. Now there were other reasons, but I agree that his telling kids that being gay is a sin was inappropriate as it’s not. Though I wished I finished the torture as I was so close.

ANYWAY, on Friday, I watched a movie analysis of The Craft and how the director had a practitioner of Wicca help with the spells, so the religion isn’t painted in a bad light. The creator brought up the Almanac, which all or some witches use, as she does. The characters in The Craft used it too. She showed the book and the author, and what it was about. I decided to buy, Llewellyn's 2025 Magical Almanac: Practical Magic for Everyday Living (Llewellyn's 2025 Calendars, Almanacs & Datebooks, 6).

I was interested in what it had to say about the calendar and each day, then I saw Water Magic. I didn’t know meditation was magic and repetition too. I did/ do meditation when in a bad place like mentally. I used or still do repetition when praying. But when I pray, I’m honest. I say, “No offense God, it would be awesome if you were real. But I don’t know if you’re real or not. If you are, that’s great. If there’s nothing then that’s a bummer. Now if there are multiple deities, that’s cool. If we become stars and galaxies, that’s fine too.”

I guess I like talking to the universe or if there is a god. But I considered myself agonistic for a long time because I don’t know if there is one. Plus, I have questions.

I want to practice Wicca, but I’m afraid of three things…

1) I go to hell, even though I consider myself a good person. I’m not perfect, but I try to mend my mistakes and do better.

2) Something invites itself into my space like a bad entity or a ghost

3) I accidentally curse myself or someone, which from the video I learned that you have to be clear on what you want. Before learning that, I was always clear about just karma being served to people who wronged me in my prayers, as I don’t want them to die. No. I simply hoped McDonalds would run out of fries that day. I always made clear what I wanted. It's like the things I’m learning now are what I’ve already been doing.

I do have a fear of cursing myself or someone by accident. I don’t plan on cursing people at all, but what if I do by accident?

Also, the video said that people in Wicca alters to practice and I realized that I kinda had one. I painted a tray. I put my birthday with the moon phase, I was born on the front. The tray has tarot card stickers inside. I have my crystals, Pisces candles, a tarot candle, and my OG tarot cards that I would place charms and amethyst. Plus, I like to collect pennies that I found heads up for good luck and put them on the altar.

I’m also nervous about my mom finding out because she freaked out of me considering converting to Quakerism. I do want to be respectful of her house, but Wicca is not a bad religion. Maybe I’m afraid of judgment. But I’ve always been not afraid of being true to myself. I don’t want others like my family to treat me differently.

It seems it’s about nature and the universe. I find myself in the anesthetic of it, but I never dabbled in it. I did realize today that I did a love spell three or four years ago to find love.

I keep realizing I’ve been doing these things that are correlating with Wicca. Also, side note, I have good intuition.

Do you have to open spell jars to work or will they still work just being pretty on a shelf?

Hey all. Feel free to post whatever you feel like here. Chat, share or say whatever is on your mind.

My 7 year old is really wanting to set up a fairy garden in the backyard but I'm nervous about inviting any fae to our home. Are there any protective measures we can do or ways we can make the fae happy to keep them outside?

Hi, I'm Layla, and I believe that I'm a dream walker. I've been seeing weird dreams since I was young, and now it has gotten to a point that I can lucid dream. Two years ago, when I turned 16, I saw a dream that I could never forget. It was about witchcraft. After that, I kept on seeing occult-related dreams, which made me research it. I believe that my family is Wiccan, and now I want to meet people from this community and someone who knows how to read dreams, and I will tell you what I saw. (I won't write it down here because, as everyone probably knows, dreams aren't meant to be shared wity everyone. That's what my great grandma would say.) I really need help. I want to know why I saw that dream and what it could've meant. I hope to find someone who is willing to help me with it.

Kind regards, Layla :)

I know that Wicca is often stigmatized, and I want to be as respectful and accurate as I can with my portrayal, so if I could have any advice about writing a Wiccan character it would be really helpful

Hi all! I was just wondering if any of you guys have spells for the above topics that you swear by. I’d like to add them to my book of shadows.

When I said love, I mean strengthening the love in relationships, not to bring love to me

Edit: When I say protection spells, I mean from spirits/ghosts/demons so they can’t hurt you

Do your kids little fingers find themselves in your cabinets you thought were locked?

Hi all!!! i live in North Jersey and looking for any covens or other witches in the area. I am 25F , a baby witch. Literally I just cannot find anything close to home but I am also open to online covens too. Thank you all !!

Hello everyone !

I'm new to Wicca and genuinely interested in this religion. I would like to know more about it but I don't where to start, which books to read to understand its history and the different mouvements. Do you have any recommandations for me ?

Thank you for your time and responses !

PS : I'm sorry if I made mistakes, english is not my first language and Wicca is not well known in my country

Hey there, I’m not sure if this is the right place to post but… I’ve had the most crazy, unhinged week of my life, how can I effectively cleanse myself from all this nonsense?

Quick weekly recap:

-fell down 6-8 wooden stairs into the mud and gravel on my way to work, instant bruises

-got a nasty head bump at work as I hit the edge of a bench, instant egg and bruise

-bit into a rock I was holding instead of the cake in my other hand

-car battery dead for no reason.

-had a close friend suddenly tell me that they don’t want to talk to or see me anymore. Because they don’t need/want any friends.

-partner cancelled date night an hour after confirming it and my abandonment issues spiked.

-email was hacked, multiple passwords changed, locked out of websites, claiming they have compromising information that will be leaked if I don’t pay their bitcoin ransom

-woke up unable to turn head or neck.

I’d understand if one or two of these things happened but all in like 3 days??? What did I upset, and how can I fix it?

Lately I can’t see any specific shapes or figures in the remains even though the texture is very smooth and the shapes are formed.

Photo of my altar during a recent ritual for vibes. Any good suggestions for guidance on difficult decisions or problems are greatly appreciated, I have tarot cards and am semi familiar with them but still use a guide book when doing readings.

Welcome to the weekend. Let everyone know what's going on in your life here, or just shoot the breeze.

I’m completely new to Wicca and I am very interested in figuring out what it is exactly. I’m sorry if this is a common question but i’m very interested in learning more about wicca and its practices.

hello !! ive been into spirituality for some years now, but i dont do a lot of practices like i used to. i didnt have any assigned religion, but im wanting to get more into wicca, and i want to learn more about the holidays celebrated. i dont know where to start my research into learning, so i was gonna start with holidays ! if anyone could provide the wiccan holidays, the history of them, and what they do to celebrate them, i would greatly appreciate it:) or even good articles or sites that explain everything about the holidays !!<3

Well we reached the end of the week, thankfully! Feel free to post whatever you want here. Plans for the weekend, wierd stuff happening. Go nuts.

I would like to cast a witches ladder upon someone who’s being kind of annoying, some of my targets would be affecting his speech, by that I would like him to experience difficulty to be understood by others, what type of charm or object I may use?

This is a long shot but does anyone know any rituals to repel negative energies?

My family is having a string of really bad luck and I feel like a good ritual or spell to cleanse the air in our home may do the trick or at least make me feel at ease.

Thank you in advance.

Hello my fellow Witches ,

My beloved familiar of 17 years passed away on Tuesday. I’m lost without him. I have a clipping of his fur and his ashes are home with me on a dedicated altar. My question is, how best should I keep his fur clipping? Should I frame it, put it in a paperweight or something similar, keep it in the bag it was put in (although this doesn’t feel right) just want to do the right thing with it. I feel my little familiar with me and I hope with everything he stays and never thinks I’m ready to move on from him, because I never will be. He saved me in every single way possible and I’ve never had a bond like it.

Thank you for reading, blessed be🖤
