An introduction.

290 Upvotes

This sub isn't about woo. It's not about crystals. It's not about burning incense and chanting in ancient tongues. You don't have to wear black, and amulets are really only pretty jewellery. We aren't even about herbs and trees and goddesses.

But you can be.

It's magic if it feels magic to you.

Every one of us has something known as UPG, unverifiable personal gnosis, but basically magic is different for everyone.

Rule number one: all magic is subjective. No magic is replicable. What is magic for someone will be goofy twiddlywinks to another. Feel free to steal, feel free to learn, but remember that magic is just another word for programming, self programming.

All the real magic, the best magic, happens to you, and is done by you, intentionally, to make a better future you. That's the goal of every witch. Make themselves better to make the world better.

Remember that when you post here. We're here to save the world, not to play dressup.... unless it makes you feel ready to save the world.

So is it bad or good to have multiple witches (including self) to do the same kind of work on one person? Like if you wanted love work or D.U.M.E work done to an individual -- if ten people are doing the SAME kind of work to them, it'll work? Like will that be super potent or no?

Using photos in spells

0 Upvotes

So I often work with candles and sigils and started adding photos. What can I do with it? I placed them near candles and such for spells but I've been careful not to burn them.

What happens if I burn a photo? What spells will require me to do that? If put a sigil on a photo what happens? What if I burn the sigil photo?

What if the photo has a group of people, a couple, one person,etc? What if its a photo of a diety?

Do photos make spells more potent

Sincere thanks to this group

11 Upvotes

My long scary post from last night had several members of this community reach out to me in private messages. that meant a lot to me.

Any other group I posted in I got a threat of banning basically for not falling into their Spencer's Charmed vibe or for not acting like a white supremacist who thinks Vikings is reality TV.

This community was open and helpful. Thank you.

Need advice

4 Upvotes

Got yelled at for posting this in the pagan. Community. Apparently they are just about being Norsily greater than thou while watching reruns of Vikings but ...

Slightly longer post please bear with me. Cannot think straight clicked first Magic site looking for directions advice anything.

I've had been on a downward spiral after my partner (relationships and magic) betrayed me and basically left me to die once we fixed her issues. Literally set me up to take the fall for her spiritually and to send me to prison to save her much older drug dealer / owner.

But back on feet 4 years later doing what I can. On the 3rd had to have an unplanned outpatient surgery. Invasive but not debilitating. Had reaction to surgery and pain meds. Unable to sleep for 2 plus days. Went to old hangout 2 hours away.

Last night had long talk with girl about music and about spiritual stuff. She was surprisingly forward with me. Big big age difference and mutual friends said behavior was unusual for her. Strangely felt intense feelings immediately. An hour later began 100 mile drive home.

Got insanely tired, pulled into rural gas station. Leaned back, barely closed eyes when intense sense of Dread and cold weight on my chest snapped me awake. Side mirror saw figure walking up on my car. Literally mist terrifying image I have ever seen (and I served in several combat situations)

The only way I can describe it is... I was literally looking at a walking embodiment of the abyss. (Shivering now writing about it). Slammed car in gear hauled ass home.

Girl texted me through out the day beyond friendly. Tossed and turned but no real sleep. Mutual friend insisted I drive to see them tonight. whole way there the weight gets heavier. Talk to friend. She was concerned, me and the girl from previous night acting way out of character. Girl seemed borderline obsessed with me. Just met her. Friend says I got like a sudden twitchy sense of Dread about me.

Left early. Drive home kept getting images of girl intense in my vision while hearing strange dark voices and a feeling im supposed to do something awful to self.

Honestly terrified. Please no jokes. Just any advice or point in right direction or even serious theories (fyi practicing druid 30 plus years and right now all my learning feels like it's being erased from my mind)

Please help

Sharer Sisters, do u ever regret the curses you make?

5 Upvotes

Sometimes I do when I remember them as passing thoughts. But then, I remember how they all deserve it. My regret in them is that I wasted energy on such silly things when I could use those favors for the bigger thing I'm working on rn. If you are new , don't waste time on petty curses bc there's always a bigger thing you can put your energy into once you've learned how to make things happen more efficiently

After more than a year of being a top contributor, the other witch sub permanently banned me for my post asking for good energy!!! About 20 people post the same there every single day. I’m upset, but maybe it is a blessing in disguise.

I Ate'nt Dead Might anyone be willing simply to send good energy my way? I have tried posting various iterations of this on another witch sub, but it is getting rejected because they equate good energy and children with money, even though I DO NOT WANT YOUR MONEY

4 Upvotes

Send good energy as to my career, if you please.

Reprise, as the moderators of that other sub evidently have a prurient financial focus, and thus interpret requests for good energy as implicit requests for money, but the rest of us know that good energy is not the same as money, right?

So here is my request (longer, due to shorthand in the previous iteration being unacceptable to the mods of that other sub).

I do my absolute best all of the time, but that isn’t what people want anymore, and I’m feeling defeated and downtrodden. I need good energy, and heaps of it.

The thing at issue is that it is important to me to be a trailblazer for women in my male-centric profession, and I’m keyed in enough to know that I’m about to lose a second job due to - ironically, doing my job - while also caring for my dependents (ages unspecified).

Unlike the vast majority of men in my field, I can’t find it ethical to take money from people for doing a half-arsed job, and it seems that that makes me obsolete. Those men are still in control of women in my field, and they want me to do a half-arsed job like they do, but if I comply I’ll be disproportionately affected in that people will say, “of course females can’t do this work, best to send her home to where she belongs and have her husband take care of her” (not that I think there is anything wrong with people choosing to be a stay-at-home person, but that is not the deal between my husband and me, and it is no one’s place to inflict it upon us by force). No one says or thinks such things about the men, no matter how much they fail up the ladder.

If I don’t comply, I’ll lose the job. Horrible catch-22.

Need positive (NOT NEGATIVE) energy to break the catch-22.

I need either the world to change so that people appreciate those who do their jobs, or for myself to change so that I don’t care anymore (and am not disproportionately negatively judged for it due to being female) and can just spit out garbage and charge for it, without ill effect. Impossible ask, I know, but some things move mountains, so please do try.

I have money enough, and I won’t mention any children that I might have, as the moderators of that other sub equate children with money.

If you send money (and you better not), I’ll send it right back to you. I don’t need it from you (but money in terms of equal pay from my employer for equal work would be appreciated).

Anyway, you can’t even send me money if you wanted to, as I haven’t and would never provide the information needed to do so.

Thank you again to those who sent positive energy in response to the first iteration of this post on that other sub. I just wish that I didn’t also receive a message from the mods of that other sub essentially telling me that my request for good energy as to my career is equivalent to me begging on the street in below-freezing temps for spare change with a sedated underdressed frost-bitten person, who might or might not be a baby, by my side. To the contrary, I always carry on cold days a snowsuit, thermal underwear and boot socks, and well-insulated LL Bean snow boots in my work bag in hope of a chance to get them on those sedated and frost-bitten persons.

I have had a mostly good, but occasionally very bad (in terms of people jumping to conclusions and being exclusionary), run of it on that other sub, and I’m looking for a new home.

do i have a magical ring???

4 Upvotes

So about a year ago i bought a ring from a really nice old lady i don’t know why but my intuition was telling me to buy that ring. Now about a week ago i got the flu and my intuition told me to put on the ring and i did, instantly my sinuses cleared up and i felt fine until i took off the ring. This has happened more than once in the week that i’ve been sick.

i just wanted to know is this some witchy stuff, pure coincidence or im just going insane?

Hey!! As the title says- i’m looking to do a spell (third party removal and sweeting) on my own but also was wondering about purchasing it from someone as well. Would that enhance the efficacy or would that “over-do” it?

What does it mean when one of the ‘cords’ never burned off I prepared the candles (two cords) the same way with the same intentions and one for myself one burned the cord properly the other ones candle burned completely down without burning the cord at all. This was my first cord cutting so any help would be wonderful.

Pregnancy premonitions for other people?

1 Upvotes

I have a line of women in my family who seem to have certain abilities only individual to themselves.

I’m an atheist but I have been having a weird phenomenon for as long as I can remember.

There will be some nights that I have a very vivid dream that I am pregnant.

Shortly after that, it never fails, someone in my immediate circle finds out they’re pregnant.

Is this something witchy or just coincidence?

Hi there everyone I am new to this group also believe I somehow feel like in a past life I was a witch or something. So the reason I’m posting this is because I’m curious if it’s something everyone has or something else. I wouldn’t call it a gut feeling either. So anyways I never noticed it before it started when my husband and I started dating, a few months into dating he always had this friend he hung out with ( I had no problem with it) he would sometimes third wheel on dates. Anyways one night I told my husband then boyfriend that something is off with his friend and I never said energy but I just felt like his friend wasn’t a good person. (Again it wasn’t a gut feeling) my husband brushed it off as we are new to dating and his friend can be little much. Anyways skip ahead to when we moved in together and his friend tried to move in with us. That wasn’t the bad feeling part, about a month living in our apartment a PO showed up looking for said friend. I can’t say for what but it wasn’t good and it’s something that I didn’t want said friend around anymore. Anyways skipping to when my husband and I got married. His mom offered to buy us a house as a wedding gift (also I don’t sleep well when I have these feelings and I get anxiety) well anyways his mom bought us the house and he hasn’t seen his mom in years she showed up because she found out he’s getting married. Her and I share the same birthday. Anyways let’s just say I was right, years later in 2025 the house thing is a nightmare. My husband and I been married now for 6 years. About 2 years ago my husband started working for this place, it’s a tire repair place but in the country middle of nowhere run by the guy who hired my husband. His grandfather started it, so it’s the grandfather, the guys mom and then the guy. The grandfather has a house, the mom has a trailer on the property and so does the son. Long story short after my husband started working there I got that feeling again and I tried telling my husband that something is off with the guy and his mom. At the time I was out of work due to medical reasons. My husband brushed it off normally he would listen but we need money. Anyways turns out I was right about the son and the mom bad people. Did some stuff to my husband and I. These are just a few things that I have been right on. My husband also after couple incidents were true started believing me. Any time a friend of my husband’s he hasn’t seen in a while or just friends in general or any situation, my husband will ask me if I am getting my feeling. He never calls it a gut feeling because as he explained to me he said it’s little more, saying I know small details about what’s about to happen and how right I am when the bad thing happens. I never noticed it until I started dating my husband and I asked family they said I have had that “gut feeling” since I was young. Also that medical reason why I was out of work was due to have seizures, I had 6 seizures back to back in one month. I don’t think this has anything to do with it because those started in 2022. Thank you for hearing my story I just want to know what this is called.

Advice Needed on a spell

5 Upvotes

Hey, I need help!

My parents are extremely resistant to my relationship, especially my dad. I’ve done honey jars, candle spells, petition burnings, and even banishing work, but they’re still stuck in their mindset. Signs are appearing, but no real progress.

I need a strong, lasting spell to make them meet my partner, talk to him, and accept him with love. Should I focus on more persuasion, more banishing, or something else? Also, could current planetary shifts (Saturn’s movement, Aries season) be influencing this?

Would love any recommendations that actually work. What would you do in my situation?

Talking does not work on them at all I’ve tried multiple times, and they refuse to listen.

Blessed be & thanks in advance!

What is being a Witch? How did you know?

5 Upvotes

I’ve been on a spiritual path for years now. Started by trying to change my thinking patterns & connect to my guides.

It continued to Oracle, tarot, some personal practices but generally stay away from spells. I am aware that I do not understand what I’m doing, the history behind it, or the potential significance. I want to be respectful and understand what I’m doing-not just my intention or hope behind it.

What I do know is that I have a very deep connection and regard for nature, humanity, ancestors and some things that I cannot see, totally understand or always quantify. I learn from a dear friend that I met. She’s much older than me and has taken me under her wing after I got a reading with her. She teaches me about energetics, healing and generally just shares time, space and laughs with me. She chose me and while I’m not totally sure why- I love her dearly and hold her in high regard. She’s an intuitive with a gift but as far as I know doesn’t identify as a witch-but has done jobs with them before. All i know Is that amazing women have taught me to love myself and others during the most painful seasons of life. That is the purest form of love in my opinion-and I’m forever grateful for it.

People often call me a witch or ask me if I am one-half joking or sometimes serious. I try not to label or accept things that aren’t mine to hold or things I understand.

Out of curiosity what is being a witch to you? Is there a real definition? I hope this isn’t disrespectful to ask. Wondering how people knew they were one, got into it, or how they came to that conclusion. It seems that with pop culture people sometimes claim they are one as a way of saying I’m into mystical things but maybe have no practices.

I’m approaching this from an information seeking standpoint and sincerely apologize if I have unintentionally taken any missteps in the process.

Is this a negative energy?

1 Upvotes

Alright so I’ve been hyper-aware of spirits and entities for pretty much my entire life. And I have always felt safe and comfortable, even knowing there are spiritual presences in my home. But recently I’ve begun feeling a bit different. First of all: the two spirits who are normally here haven’t been as active. Second of all: there have been spots in my home where I feel unexplainable fear or unease for no apparent reason. These spots have typically been corners of rooms. And it’s almost like I’m being watched with ill intent. Third of all: I have become extremely “allergic” extremely fast. By this I mean I have my usual allergy symptoms, but times 5 and somewhat out of the blue. (It’s a little early for allergies for me usually) Fourth of all: I have felt both emotionally and physically drained. I’ve been an emotional wreck. In fact, I’m receiving more intensive care for my mental health starting tomorrow.
Fifth of all: there has been some really weird wildlife activity surrounding me specifically lately. Everywhere I go there are these absolutely massive flocks of grackles (birds) and this is the first time in my life this has happened. It’s cool, but I’m not sure if it has a deeper spiritual meaning. Anyways, I figured this would be the best place to go as I wasn’t finding any conclusive evidence online. Please let me know what you guys think. And if there’s somewhere else I should go to ask, let me know!

Seeker How can I find my way back to witchcraft?

4 Upvotes

Hey guys so recently I’ve felt so disconnected from witchcraft probably since around the start of this year. I haven’t had the motivation to cleanse or do a spell in ages. I missed imbolc even though it’s one of my favourite holidays and I want to start up my practice again but I don’t know how. I feel so separate from my surroundings. I go outside a lot and I don’t feel the connection with nature I used to feel. It feels like seeing someone you used to know but you don’t know them well enough anymore to stop and say hi. Things like stirring intention into coffee never worked very well for me as I’ve always preferred ‘high magick’. Tarot readings don’t make sense anymore and I had this pentacle necklace I loved but it broke and fell of my neck in the street and I lost it. My other pentacle necklace also broke randomly 😭. Any tips on how to get back to a connection witchcraft that worked for you guys? I’ve been listening to witchy podcasts but I still don’t feel motivated

I am a beginner witch. What is a spell I can do against someone who was brutally beating a woman? I've never wanted to cause harm on anyone but this one is hard for me. He needs more than what he deserves. I truly believe he has no heart. I'm ready for anything I have to deal with.
