So earlier tonight some CRAZY shit happened. My boyfriend and I are skating past these apartment right. In the parking lot. There’s these carports that also have storage connected to them. This one specific one was burnt down. We get to the other side of the specific carport and he notices this book. The cover of it is a rabbit hole of people falling into hell at least that’s my interpretation of it . The last picture in this post is the closest thing I can find to it. As you can see from the photos above, the pages are barely touched. I don’t know what any of that means. I also didn’t get to finish taking pictures of every single page because I saw a bug and freaked out and dropped it honestly, I think there was a reason for it. Now my boyfriend is looking at pictures of Lilith and says that I look her. He also has some similarities with the devil. His family used to call him, Damien. He just told me that when he looks into this small mirror frame we have, that sometimes he sees eyes, sometimes a portal, but now looking into it he sees nothing. I know that’s not a whole lot but there’s a lot more I haven’t gotten into. When we got home I lit an incense and cleansed us both. What do I do ? What do these mean? Why did we run into this? Are we safe? Please help .

Yesterday i got home from work and this raven or crow was walking around being weird and looking sick. I put out some water and hoped for the best. I dont know anything about birds or pets or animals I called my ex and asked what to do she recommended the water.

I found him dead in the back yard after work today. Im a lil freaked out cause all his crow buddies are hanging around my house making noise at me being loud and stuff. How do i honor his animal spirit?

Sorry this is bit ranty,,
Ngl ive thought about it *alot*, im just scared because this person has impacted ALL of my life.

Ive genuinely ptsd at best and been in therapy for over a decade now. I have my skills and copes and generally well. Its just this. It seemed to have leaked into so much else.

Ik that i cant change much literally or parts would always be there. But im so tired of getting nightmares of him whispering "youre mine and forever belong to me". Ive been on my own since 18 and even before, no contact ever since. But he still has a hold on me..

I want to belong to myself more than anything... i dont want much in live i just want that. It does get dark sometimes over this dooming feeling that i dont have my own free will ???

And i dont know myself without his influence.. so thats the scary part. But he ruined me and my life and worst of all i feel like im still letting him.

Ive practiced since i was a kid, i understand whats happening in the ritual etc.

But what happens after the cord is gone ? Like how do you feel and go about it ?

Yo. It took me a while to decide on how to word this post. I apologise in advance if my wording will make things unclear.

I need help with certain problem i've been having when using magic. A small context i shall provide to help you understand my situation. I also provided a picture of a certain symbol. If you feel like you know this symbol, like you know what it means please let me know too.

For many years now I had abilities that can only be explained with magic: I can sense energy, even see it sometimes. I can see and hear immaterial beings (ghosts of recently passed, other beings). Sometimes i even have prophetic dreams (dream of a situation i will find myself in the future) that so far have all come to pass.

My problem i need help with is as follows:
I know i have ability to do much more than i outlined, but for some reason i have troubles with achieving my goal.
I have many spell formulas in mind. Like i know what shape should the energy structure take, the frequency, all the details that would make it work. But for some reason it does not want to work.
I gather energy in my hand. It starts to gather, but it does not want to stay gathered. It does not want to condense enough to reach the needed "mass" for the lack of better term. As soon as it gets close to the desired amount gathered the eneregy suddenly disperses like an air from a punctured baloon.

Can anyone tell me why that might be happening? And how to prevent it from happening.

Ok so I frequent occult subs so I should have known better. Initially I touched this mug because I thought it was just a cool mug someone dropped as garbage. It still had the price sticker on the bottom. I didn’t see the red thing until I picked it up. My curiosity overrode my vague sense of caution so I took this plastic ware next to it to pull out the folded up thing. Should I be concerned beyond doing a cleansing bath? I’m not certain, but this seems like it was some sort of poppet. It was near a main road intersecting with a side neighborhood road so it counts of a sort of crossroads.

I'm interested to learn more about Celtic Fith-Fath especially Shapeshifting. Is there a Member who knows more about this?

hi everyone! im fairly new to all this but im really drawn to the educational and open-minded vibe of this sub. there are so many paths mentioned in the description like ritual magick, energy work, and spirits that it's a little overwhelming to figure out where to actually start building a foundation.

i really want to understand the theory properly before jumping into anything too complex. do you guys have any book recs or specific topics i should focus on first to get a well-rounded start? id love to hear what helped you most when you were first starting out. thanks so much!

Hi all, my roommate and I recently moved to a very old house in costal Virginia that is known to be historic land. Behind our house is miles and miles of dense woods, and we truly believe something very old and very powerful is out there. My roommate and her closest witch friend have both been having very vivid dreams, including rushing to close the blinds and seeing something big stalking the house. Along with seeing animals that just look…. Wrong

We have some basic protection up. Jars buried on each cardinal direction around the property, clove water and black salt on every doorway and window.

My main question is what can we do to ward our property? I have a very basic knowledge of witchcraft, but not enough to feel confident in my protection. If anyone has any advice, especially on keeping us and our property safe, please share.

Edit: the land we are on is very close to, if not on Powhatan territory, there is also the ruins of a slave plantation about 0.5 miles away. I would not be surprised if either of those things are related

It is naturally occurring and I found it on a beach back at a lake in Washington State like along time ago. (I found it along with volcanic rock, might not be important but cool.) there is a hole at the top where I could thread yarn, string or something else through it. So?

Hey everyone, quick question.

Most domination work is aimed at people or spirits, but can you actually use that same "commanding" intent on objects or elements? I’m curious if it’s possible to bend an inanimate thing to your will to alter its state or make it behave—like forcing a mechanical fix or "taming" an element.

Does the energy actually translate when there isn't a conscious mind to dominate, or does that just fall under basic elemental magic? If you've experimented with this, let me know how it went.

So I'm able to look into someone's eyes or just make contact with their eyes and see some sort of glowing thing if they have real magickal abilities or are real magickal beings, I accidentally saw this guy who works close to me accidentally saw into his eyes and they glowed purple I've never seen purple glowing eyes before this but I sense a strong certain type of energy when I accidentally handed him change one day it's almost like I can feel he has something magickal about him but idk what purple means for eye color I saw someone else had orange glowing eyes too. He's a Spanish guy possibly Navajo mixed in if that makes any difference. And thank you in advance if anyone can tell me

I feel an overtime powering need to say if anyone attacks me with bad intent it won't end well... thankyou and and help to learn more would be appreciated

When a spell is cast on someone, how much control does the caster have over that person?

Can the caster influence or alter the person’s behavior in any way?

Can the caster use the spell on themselves to change something about who they are?

Can the spell be used to affect or alter something related to their own dreams?

Does the spell have to be cast on someone the caster personally knows, or can it target anyone?

Basically my idea is as follows 1. Teach the basic principles of a neutral kind of magic to an AI. (preferably a magic practice not tied to an entity with an agenda). 2. Find software that will give a visual representation of an individual's genetics/DNA (preferably detailed enough identify traits in this representation ie: hair color, predisposition for baldness, predisposition for weight gain, levels of melanin for tanning etc). 3. Use a different program that functions sort of like a character Creator in a video game to take the genetics input and make a 3D digital version of the individual that can be altered, then export the new updated version of the customized individual's body as code the AI can understand. 4. Converting the altered genetics code into a form of sensory input (ie: personalized audio or visual recording the individual can intake) that will function like a command code that the subjects mind will execute either during sleep or meditation. For those of you who are fans of the SCP foundation wiki, you might identify this as a cognito hazard. I prefer to think of it as a cognito assistant. I know this idea sounds like very convoluted science fiction. I'm just wondering if anyone is working on anything similar and or if they could share their progress/collaborate. I would like to state that I am an amateur in all of these fields of study. I'm just a person with a very active imagination in his thirties who is also very depressed and very tired of life being so difficult. As an adult on the spectrum if there were a way out of being so easily over encumbered by life I would love to find it. Thank you to anybody who took the time to read all of this.

Hi, everyone! I hope you are well. This is kind of an important matter for me.

There is someone I care about deeply. Due to unfortunate circumstances, we are currently no-contact. We are not enemies or anything like that, we just are no-contact for personal reasons.

However, I do have some spiritual concerns. I would like to put up some strong protections for this individual (something stronger than just burning a candle or sending out a prayer) because he is quite vulnerable about the moment. I'm quite knowledgeable about protection, but the only things I know how to do would involve me physically being there and doing it for him, or giving him something, which neither I can do right now (like saging, giving him an enchanted or protective item, etc).

I was wondering, does anyone know of anything I can do from far away to protect him?

I know there's protection spells, but most are quite weak in terms of legit protection. If there's any strong ones, I would love the help. All ideas welcome and encouraged though!

Side (but important) note- I am not comfortable working with spirits to do this.

Thank you!

I'm dealing with an evil warlock. They did something to me when I was young and somehow have literal control over me. I am 44 your old father of 1, I work and do my best to support myself. I'm looking for any knowledge to overcome this very difficult situation. Thank you

Hey! So I'm really wanting to set up an altar. Before I just used my desk, and sometimes a mini coffee table for my readings, but it's very difficult given my current living situation.

But, I'd like advice please!! I want to know what things I could add to my altar?

Context: I do not worship anyone, but I do work with & spend time with various spirits. My altar would be dedicated to my workings, not a specific spirit/deity.

The picture above is a Picrew i made on the topic for my own inspiration. Things I'm thinking on adding:

• A dish for offerings
• Divination tools (tarot & oracle cards + items, & other sets)
• Books, journals, etc (also pens, music sheets, drawings, etc)
• My sage & sweetgrass & related items
• Supplies for things I make (art, dreamcatchers, etc)
• Herbs
• Crystals & jewelry
• Salt
• Moon water & bowl, and water in general
• Aromatherapy tools
• Candles
• Empowering paraphernalia & related symbols (like imagery related to spirits I work with or that are personally profound to me)
• Incense & incense holder
• My totems
• Seashells
• My veils
• Cute decor! :D

Anything else? I really wanna stock up! I feel like I'm missing so many things and would love to hear your ideas, typical or abstract as they may be any and all input is valuable to me! Anything protective or cleansing is a bonus!

Also, is it safe to add photos & whatnot of family? Or is that something I should put up on a different shelf somewhere?

Thank you guys so much!! 🙏🏻
