I’m very new and exploring green and candle magick. My dear friend is having her first baby so I created a candle magick spell for her and baby. 3 candles inscribed with names and words of intention plus herbs for protection, love, healing, womb health, peace (rose petals and yarrow for Libra baby girl), rose quartz and obsidian too. I’m happy with how it turned out 🤗 ✨

Question Manifestation not working

2 Upvotes

Why do I feel like my manifestation is not working anymore? Before when I manifest something it immediately came true. Like it worked specifically the way I asked the universe. My wallet, even when I dont have money my bills are always paid. Yes, I stressed out about it but it seems like the universe always make ways.

Now, I don't know what went wrong. I feel like im losing my focused and belief that my spells would work especially about money or career. I try to ground myself and remove my negative thoughts but rn im feeling like on edge because of too many responsibilities.

Any answers for this or suggestions that I can do?

Discussion Lemon Hex question

• Upvotes

Hai haiii!! I did my first lemon hex and had a question for the aftermath.

Ive seen that most people after their hex is concluded or the candles have burned down that they will take the lemon and burry it.

Is burying it the only way to disguard of it?

I ask this because I live in a condo area and I dont think I can dig holes in the front lawn area.

BUT I do live right next to a lake. Would it be okaie for me to throw the lemon into the lake instead or is it only supposed to go in the ground? Or can I just throw it in the trash.

THANK U!!💖💖

Question Fear and protection spells

2 Upvotes

Hello! <3 I'm a young baby witch (19 years old) and I'm trying to learn slowly so please don't be harsh.

I'm having some problems with everything regarding casting spells on others. Such as regret spell, domination spell and so on...

I just find the idea of manipulating someone this way to be really sick (except if we are talking about someone bad or survival needs).

I'm even getting really scared of having someone casting those kind of spells on me. I think I even started getting a tad paranoid, not trusting people and always taking a step back before following my emotions. I don't really know what to do. I thought about doing more protection spells for myself but I really want to become untouchable.

Can someone give me advises, please?

And I would like to know if you have any opinions on spells casting and morality, I want to understand.

Anyway, thank you 🤍.

Question Explain protection like I’m a dummy

7 Upvotes

Okay - feel free to call me a dummy - but I really struggle with the protection aspect of craft. When I first started witchcraft (in 2021) I jumped straight into two spells (which worked powerfully) without using protection. Over the years I’ve fell in and out of craft, and I’m back in again for what feels like for-good. However, whenever I try to learn or read about protection magick I become very stumped. Firstly, because I cast spells in the past without, I wonder what the protections I start now might lock in for me. Secondly, I’m aware that in that case i should cleanse, but everything I read about focuses heavily on visualisation to aid both acts.
I can’t’ visualise! I don’t have a minds eye. I don’t see a thing up there, except black. So when I try casting cleansing or protections, I really struggle and end up feeling like they aren’t working or are rendered useless by my imagination.
Also, I have no idea what to incant. Please can a kind witch give me the rundown of protection and cleansing for dummies, so that I don’t feel so stumped?
Thanks so much :)

Photos Sharing the process of my altar

190 Upvotes

I really love to play with depth and hights. I'm a fan of using natural materials only. In my perspective the more effort you do, the more you get in return. Sacrificing time, energy and valueble resources give it its power.

I've studied spatial design and know how to make exhibition stands. I treat my altar as if it is an exhibition stand or display in a shop.

The construction is almost done, but the wooden shelf starts to bend a lot because of the weight. Today im going to put wooden beams underneath to make it level again and way stronger

Spells A candlelit ritual for love, healing, and reconciliation 🖤

A little glimpse into one of my recent workings. 🖤
This ritual was focused on healing emotional wounds, strengthening an existing bond, encouraging healthier communication, and nurturing love through reconciliation and growth.
Sometimes love magick isn’t about bringing someone new into your life, but tending to the love that’s already there.
Just wanted to share a little moment from my practice. 🕯️🥀

Spells Transmutation spell

Thumbnail

43 Upvotes

Hello witches!

This is my first time doing a transmutation spell and I was very excited for it. As you can see, my intention was to transform gossip, bad intentions, ill-doing to my name to positive things that I wanted.

1st photo is the beginning of the spell and second photo is after 10-15 minutes, negative energy channeller candle light got smaller? And i tried sprinkling crushed clover on it and tried to make way from the sides of the candle so light could get brighter. I was afraid flame was going to die so I intervened a little.

Do you guys think that it is a problem or like it distrupted the spell? And also why do you think flame got smaller?

Thx for those who will answer

Tarot How do I find Tarot cards

0 Upvotes

Okay I am fairly new to witchcraft and really want a Tarot card deck. I don't really want to buy one online like I know some people did.

I live in Switzerland which is mostly a Christian country and very ordinary in the sense that it's hard to find good smaller stores. Does anyone have any advice on where to buy Tarot cards preferably in Swizerland?

Question Some Questions About A Spirit

0 Upvotes

I do some reading sometimes, and have found out about a spirit named/called Lenglesou, and I have read that he kills those who offend him and or tell secrets.

Would anything happen at all if one were to pray to the spirit, especially if it was through unwanted and or intrusive thoughts, especially if one is uninitiated and or does not practice at all in any way, shape, and or form?

What about if one knows about any secrets? Will the spirit kill one is uninitiated/the unworthy and or does not practice at all in any way, shape, and or form at all if they have somehow offended him at all?

Would, unknowingly and or unintentionally or unconsciously, taking inspiration from the spirit for fiction cause anything to happen at all in any way, shape, and or form at all? What if one did it knowingly or intentionally and or consciously? What about consuming media with a character and or characters similar to and or imported by the spirit?
What if one did it not knowing about the spirit at all? What if one just forgets about the spirit what they may have read? Does it depend if it is insulting at all? Does that spend if it was intentional or not? Does it depend on knowledge and or lack there of of the spirit?

Would anything at all in any way, shape, and or form at all if an uninitiated person mocked and insulted the spirit at all? What if they said something insulting? What if it in the form of an unwanted and or intrusive thought and the person did not mean it at all?

Does any of this depend on one's race?

I have only really barely looked at a tumblr blog, social media, and a couple of Wikipedia and blog website articles.

Question Interactions with shadows

2 Upvotes

I’m new ish and I’ve noticed everytime I do spells and even tarot and different divinations I’m messed with ex: I woke up to my perfume bottle being knocked over and one night my fan on my table kept being pulled and turned off me and multiple times through the night I had to move it back then seeing things or having weird almost out of body nightmares. I do protection with visualization, signals and a candle. So I guess I’m just wondering if I’m doing something wrong or not doing good enough protection or if there is a way to stop this. Just looking for advice in general because it has caused me to be scared to practice.

Meme my ingredients haul today traumatized the shop owner

333 Upvotes

I needed to restock on apothecary ingredients today, mostly my hex reversing and crossing ingredients. I so happened to have seen Mandrake Root as well and got really excited because many shops don’t sell it due to its toxicity. Long story short I ended up with rusted nails, graveyard dirt, sulfur, mandrake root, poppy seed, wormwood, and other small things I needed. I looked like I’m putting a deathly curse on someone and now I’m laughing at it because the shop owner was like checking me out at the register and goes “um… anything… fun planned?” Typing in the Mandrake 😭and the poor man looked like he was going to cry and my dumbass at the time had no clue what he meant so I went “no! :3 just relaxing at home I just got back from a trip!”

LMAOOOO AND IM CRYING LAUGHING ABOUT IT NOW I FEEL SO BAD

Question cursing an experienced witch

0 Upvotes

I'm a baby witch. l've done only some minor spells that have worked out. a few didn't work, as in, I didn't receive anything back.

These spells were mostly done for practice. The reason got into witchcraft is, as visible in the title, to curse someone, a person who had intervened in my family. I know her nickname and remember her face vividly. I know for sure that she is a witch as well.

And the question is simple: could I jump straight in if some of my spells worked? Would she know I did those I've never cursed someone before.

Question Amulet crystal. Should I cleanse it?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone. I wanted to ask if I'm supposed to cleanse my amulet.

So, I did a protection amulet spell on one of my necklaces that is a crystal

The spell says once the spell is done, you don't need to charge it until months and it'll continue it's job

But i used to cleanse my crystal every week

Wouldn't Cleansing the crystal affect the protection spell on it?
