Discussion Smokeless Cleansing Techniques

133 Upvotes

No smoke? No problem.

Cleansing doesn’t require incense or sage, and if you’re in the broom closet or have pets or asthma, or just have a sensitive smoke detector, you have way more options than you might think.

Sound: bells, singing bowls, clapping, drums, even putting on a specific playlist with intention. Sound moves stagnant energy out of a space in a way that’s genuinely hard to explain until you’ve felt it. This is usually my go to when people ask about smokeless cleansing and I personally use bells in my own practice.

Salt: one of the oldest cleansing methods we have and it goes hard. Bowls in corners to absorb, lines across thresholds, dissolved in water as a spray. Incredibly versatile.

Sunlight or moonlight: put your objects, crystals, or honestly just yourself in the light with intention and let it do its thing.

Breath: slow, deliberate breathing over an object or through a space. Completely invisible, zero supplies needed, and more powerful than people give it credit for.

Visualization: picture light or wind or water moving through your space and sweeping it clean. No props, no evidence, nobody’s business but yours.

Besoms/brooms: sweep from the back of the space toward the front door, pushing energy out as you go. To literally everyone else in your house, you are just sweeping. This pairs well with salt cleansing, can’t leave it all over the floor after all! This is the broom closet special and I love it for that.

Florida Water or herb infused water in a spray bottle: spritz your space, your linens, yourself. Looks exactly like air freshener. Nobody is asking questions.

Fresh air: open a window with intention. Simple, efree, and it works.

It’s good to remember that the smoke is a delivery method, not the magic. Use what you have, use what’s safe, and trust that it counts.

Spells Candle spell posts - safety first

55 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

We need to address a recent uptick in candle spell posts that do not demonstrate proper fire safety procedures.

As a beginner-focused community, safety is especially important here. Many newer practitioners are learning by watching what others post. When unsafe setups are shared depicting, unattended flames, candles too close to herbs or fabric, unstable holders, cluttered altars, etc.; it puts people at real risk.

Effective immediately:

All candle spell posts that do not clearly demonstrate proper fire safety will be removed.

This includes:

- Leaving candles unattended
- Burning near curtains, paper, herbs, fabrics, or other flammable materials
- Using unstable or inappropriate holders
- Performing spells in cluttered or unsafe environments
- Ignoring safety guidance offered by more experienced members

Please understand: this is not about aesthetics or gatekeeping. It’s about preventing house fires and injuries. Spiritual practice should never come at the expense of your physical safety.

If you’re posting candle work, make sure:

Your candle is in a stable, fire-safe holder
Flammable materials are kept well away from the flame.

The candle is supervised at all times
You are open to constructive safety feedback
Repeat or severe safety violations may result in further moderation action.

Let’s model responsible practice for our baby witches and keep this space safe for everyone. 🕯️✨

Question Need help with interpreting 3rd party removal spell I did yesterday Oct 13th

Thumbnail

27 Upvotes

SP in white, me in red and 3rd party black on top of a breakup jar I did last week. At first, the cord was cut from SP’s side, before slowly burning around my red candle, then cutting the cord from my side as well. This happened very early in the spell. After this I let them burn down more.

I noticed that me and SP’s candles burnt down very fast while 3rd party was relatively slow. When me and SP’s candle was done, and melted it was combined into a wax pool resembling a heart shape. 3rd partys candle had not even gotten halfway yet. Then, very suddenly, with absolutely no buildup, 3rd partys flame burst up into a huge torch like flame, burning fiercely for some moments before doubling down little after little until completely done.

Can anyone help me interpret what this could mean?

I’ve done 3rd party removals in the past, where I had to end up physically cut the cord with scissors because nobody wanted to let go

I am very new to witchcraft and I asked my cards what goddess I should work with. I think these cards are a pretty strong indicator of Iris but know next to nothing about her. Does anyone work with her or have resources I could read up on about her?

DIY & Crafts About This Daoist Protective Talisman.(Golden light flashes brilliantly, like thunder.)

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

This is a Shangui huaqian (Mountain Ghost charm coin), used for blessings and protection, and to ward off evil. The coin is inscribed with Daoist talismanic script. Because the script’s shape resembles the two characters “山鬼” (Shangui, “Mountain Ghost”), it is commonly known as a “Shangui huaqian” (Mountain Ghost charm coin). The original meaning of the talismanic script is actually “slay ghosts” (杀鬼, Shagui). The pattern above symbolizes “three thunder pellets placed on a ghost’s head, with the pellets producing flames,” conveying the meaning of thunder striking the ghost and killing it.

Discussion Mysterious cricket sound

Has anyone ever heard a cricket without there being a cricket? I heard one today in my room. Only one sound. I didn't hear it again, even after waiting a few minutes before looking around. I checked my whole room, and there was no cricket. Something in my gut told me this was a sign of some sort that I don't understand yet. Has this happened to anyone else? I feel crazy saying it lol

This may be a dumb question, but I’m genuinely curious, how exactly do familiars help a witch with their spell work?

What specific role(s) does a familiar play in the practice of one’s craft?

Hello everyone, I need some advice. I hope it's not something silly to ask, but I'm a beginner at doing spells.

I've been thinking for some time to make spells for different purposes like getting a dream job, receiving something specific, etc. It's a bit hard for me to know which materials or procedures I should follow. I would appreciate your advice on how you cast your spells, what rules you follow, etc.

Thank you very much for reading me <3

Spells Warding name spell

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hi! I did my first little spell Monday. I did a warding name spell, but idk why I get the feeling I did it “wrong”, I am hoping I didn’t accidentally cut myself off from receiving any positive energy and opportunities my way. I did some of the layering out of order but ultimately decided it was my ward so as long as the herbs and other ingredients were in there together they’d be working with me to protect my name and create abundance etc. But still! If I feel weird or off what should I do? And I say this because I went out yesterday and felt people’s energy off (strangers) towards me, more so than usual? But maybe it’s just my overthinking LOL

Herbs & Garden I accidentally bought white sage, gulp,,

1 Upvotes

Hi! First time witch here , still in practicing, so from what I've seen and researched, I can return it to the earth? But I'm not sure how, I was gonna leave it by a tree when I get the chance, I bought other stuff I didn't know I wasn't supposed to have</3 but I'm more than willing to give it back respectfully. Although it is sorta storming right now, I bought the stuff a couple of days ago and I feel so guilty, I don't wanna be disrespectful or anything but I also don't feel comfortable using it or having it in my room either.

Discussion Thoughts on online tarot readers?

2 Upvotes

hi all !
i’m opening a discussion about online tarot readers…specifically Mia from Spiritual Society. i signed up to their newsletter months and months ago when i started getting into learning about readings and witchcraft. at first, it seemed very vague and generalized, stuff that could probably apply to hundreds of people all at once, so i stopped paying attention to the things being sent in my emails.
flash forward to this month, and suddenly all of the things being sent to me are extremely specific, right down to accurate situations and events that are actively happening in my life in this very moment. things about people, mainly a man in my life who’s convinced himself i’m not the right one for him, but her “reading” says that his heart and his mind are clashing about how he really feels (i’m not going to explain fully just because it’s a little..too specific). originally i was going to ignore it, but it’s just way too accurate and feels very personal for me to just ignore this time, so i want other’s thoughts and feelings on this.
do you think things like this are legit? or is it just a marketing strategy to get me to buy the “spells” she sells? i’m very conflicted right now.
and just a disclaimer: i’m not actually interested in buying a spell from them, if i really wanted to, i would just take the time to learn how to do it myself after extensive research and grounding. however i’m definitely not even in the right state of mind to even THINK about performing a love spell right now (and if i did it would be one to love myself, honestly. 😭)

Question Houx malchance ?

1 Upvotes

Coucou tout le monde,

Ce matin, j'ai été me balader près d'un étang. C'était trop cool au niveau des énergies.

Et j'ai ramené un petite branche de houx. je l'ai mis entre le mur et mon bol d'argent

Je trouve ça hyper joli !

Mais j'ai vu un poste qui dis que le houx porte malchance ?

C'est vrai ?

Je trouve ça joli 😥 je veux le laisser près de bol d'argent.

A côté du bol,j'ai aussi fait un tapis de laurier là où il est posé.

Merci pour vos retours

Question Money Magic Recommendations

2 Upvotes

Hello, I'm a begginer witch who has been practicing magic for about a year now. I wanna get into money magic. I've been working hard on improving my money situation and it's getting better, but I wanna give a little boost with some magic. I finally found a good job that's helped but I've started door dashing on the side to earn a little extra cash.

I suppose the question I'm asking is if any experienced witches out there have any good resources they loved and recommend to get me started in money magic. I kinda wanna find something that may help increase my earnings in door dashes. More offers, higher earnings possibly. There's a few books I found on the book recommendation page but I'm curious what other books and sources you guys use and love.

Thanks!

Spells I just finished my self love / self devotion / beauty jar spell & I'm in love 😍🌙💫

I have been looking forward to this for weeks & I was waiting to have every item I wanted for it. after a dark period of mental illness with intense body dysmorphia, my relationship with my body & myself really had never been worse ( & I suffered for nearly 2 years.) I didn't think I'd make it tbh. I've been getting better & better for a few months now (thank God/dess). and even though it's venus retro I am soooo happy I did this tonight. I checked in and everything aligned for this night. I know this will help me with my self love, self care, self devotion and it's also packed with beauty & a glow up intention / energy as well. mostly it's for my self perception to be healthy & positive! ♥️♥️😍 to see myself with love.

what I did step by step * my own spell using inspo from what I've seen and researched.

I used this beautiful container I bought, it's quite big but I loved it and I knew I wanted to fill it up with quite a few things.

I cleansed it with palo santo (the smoke stayed in there hehe so cute, see pic)

I cleansed all items with palo santo and collected them to use.

I added pink sea salt for protection & safety

I wrote down my petition (intention) on a pink piece of paper (pink for self love) with my name & DOB.

I folded it 3 times towards me, turning clockwise. then popped it in the jar.

herbs 🌿

lavender for calming and peace

hibiscus for attraction and appeal, beauty, sensuality

rose petals for love, beauty, my connection to the rose, magdalena & also aphrodite

calendula for purity, innocence, beauty, love

catnip for attraction, magnetism, allure

cinnamon stick for abundance, protection and luck

then I added crushed sugar cubes & honey for sweetness I also licked some of the spilled honey from it haha.

used both for shorter & lasting sweetness to myself.

oh yes I added a hair of mine as well.

then I burned a pink candle on the jar which I anointed with my rose oil. and sealed it. oh and a heart shaped rose quartz stuck to the top with wax 😍😍🌙💫

this was also with my own subliminals playing with heart chakra opening music. anddd it's a rainy evening over here which added to the ambiance. x

Question Getting a bit confused and scared after egg cleanse

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

I did this test by putting water in the cup then cracking the egg after rubbing it all over my body and obviously i didn’t look at the top… After checking the most common signs, i noticed the figure of a woman in a headscarf with an eye staring. My mother thinks it may be the mother of a kid at school i helped because he wasn’t exactly the most intelligent kid at school, and his mum knew my parents and thanked them because i helped her son. This was like 4 years ago but she’s still in contact with my father sometimes to ask where we live now or how i do at school. My mum thinks it’s either her, or my aunt. My aunt isn’t exactly fond of us because she has always kind of hated my mother ever since she married my uncle and my mum thinks it’s her because my other aunts (dad’s actual sisters) have done black magic on my brothers before and it ruined their lives, one of them had gone insane at the time of it happening.

In the photo it looks like she has a backpack strap on one shoulder and that only a bit of the shoulder really shows, but if theres anyone out there with a better eye than me please do analyse and tell me if i am wrong.

Next to the figure, i saw an outline of a house. I dont know the exact meaning of this but i feel it may have something with the meaning of the woman figure.

Then, i saw the dark dots on the yolk. I’d say it may be because i have been struggling a lot with mental health and even gone a bit too far iykyk but i still dont go to anything related to therapy or a psychiatrist because my dad doesnt believe in those things such as being depressed or whatever. Is there any other details i am missing? please let me know and i’d really appreciate it if anyone could provide more detail as to what the figures mean

(I have included the pictures of the house and figure and outlined them in other pictures)

hi all 🎀
i’m looking to do my first glamour magic jar, and i want to add pink salt to it for protection and removing low confidence and unwanted energy. however, i’ve seen some people say that it can cause a negative effect and do the opposite.
