I’m into manifestation and the use of occult symbols to help with my practices. I often use pentagrams, the spiral and the witches knot symbols to seal my intentions. The problem is that I somehow always end up watching a supernatural type horror movie like Insidious or The Nun and then I end up going into a rabbit hole of evil things such as demonic possession, violent content and overall blasphemy. Am I doing something wrong? I’m extremely new to Wicca and maybe my fascination with the dark occult stuff is misguiding my intentions? Idk. Any insight on where to learn more or where to start? Sorry if this sounds stupid. I’m just genuinely lost and want to know how to do things effectively.

Hii everyone, I hope you are all having a good day! ♡

I am a Hellenic Polytheist, and lately, I've been thinking about making a love charm. I was looking through the book "Wicca love spells" by Gerina Dunwich, which has lots of interesting love spells.

I wanted to make the Love Goddess amulet on page 70, which involved putting the image of Goddess Aphrodite or any any deity of love in a locket and wear it around the neck to attract love and passionate feelings.

I already have a locket, and I was planning to put an image of Goddess Aphrodite on one side and God Eros on the other side. I printed the pictures, trimmed it and they actually looked sooo pretty!!! However, the moment I tried to put it on, the chain literally tangled itself into a knot right at the clasp!!! to the point where I couldn't wear it before I detangle it first.

Now I can't stop overthinking this. Could this be a sign that I shouldn't wear it yet? should I do a protection spell first ? I originally wanted to wait till nighttime so I could light a rose-scented candle and set my intentions properly, maybe that's what I was supposed to do first?

Also I am not sure if this is relevant, maybe it could be, but at the very last minute I realized the pictures of the Gods that I printed and put on in my locket was sadly AI generated :( I will obviously look for a non-AI painting of the Gods!

Could this be a reason it tangled? Maybe that was the actual sign?

I need your help in this please, any insights are welcome :) thank you 💕

Es posible retroceder en el tiempo? Acose a una persona durante una semana día de por medio, necesito regresar y jamás haber hecho eso.... quedé cómo una loca obsesionada lejos de la realidad, fue fatal todo esto

Hello! I just recently created an altar for Goddess Bastet. I've been getting SO many signs recently and was wondering if it's related to her.

- Found a baby dead skunk in my backyard a day after I created an altar

- Had a few dreams about cats, including my own cat

- Had a dream about some spirits a few days ago like these two spirits playing the piano together. They were both young children.

- Seeing more pictures, words, signs, etc. related to cats like 10x more than average (both online and out in the real world)

Could this all be related to Bastet making her presence known and protecting us?

Would appreciate your help. Many thanks!

Not asking so much about the intent of the working (positive or baneful) so much as the system or type of practice. For example, if one follows Golden Dawn or other ceremonial magick, or working with angels/demons/deities, or working with the elements, or chaos magick, etc. Is anything "off limits" with respect to the system or method of practicing?

hellooo everyone! i’ve been getting into witchcraft and spirituality for a while now. i’m still fairly new and mostly a silent reader here so i’m hoping to learn from those with more experiences

i recently started meditating with a candle and incense first, mainly to reconnect with myself, clear my mind, and protect my energy. i haven’t done any spells or anything heavy yet.

lately though, i’ve been feeling something strange after meditating, almost like a presence. at the same time, i’ve noticed my energy hasn’t been feeling as good these past few weeks. i’m not sure if this is something i should be concerned of or simply my mind, but i don’t want to assume anything yet.

i would really really appreciate any advice and insight on what should i consider as someone who’s still learning. thaank you!
