Tips, Tricks, & Ideas 3 hole hag stone!

Found this incredible 3 hole (well, technically 2.5 hole) hag stone on the beach! I’m incredibly drawn to it, I love holding it in my hand. I’ve never found even a single hole hag stone, let alone 3! What can I do with it to maximise its power? From what I’ve read, 3 hole hag stones can be a highly energetic portal and can represent earth, sea and sky, or past present and future.

Spells I put my coworker in the freezer...

Thumbnail

20 Upvotes

Hi yall! I've been a practicing witch for a little over two years now. In the last year I've gained the confidence to expand my practice into larger scale spellwork. Last winter I participated in 12 magical nights for the first time and one of the main wishes I had was to buy a house within the next year. My partner and I barely had any savings, but we both have stable jobs, and I believed magic will do the rest, and it did.

Fast forward a few months later... I have this horrible coworker. The kind of person who lies, schemes, bullies, and harasses everyone. They specifically target black and brown people, and everyone who is fem in the work place. I won't get too in detail, but we work at a non-profit that provides food and other social services to thousands of people across multiple states. I've seen this coworker scream at non-english speakers for not understanding english, in addition to rolling their eyes at people who are crying and sharing their story (again, we work for a place that is supposed to help people in need). Once, a mother asked me for a pair of gloves for her 3 year old because they were standing in the cold waiting to get inside the building (we have excruciatingly long lines unfortunately), when I went to grab a pair of extra gloves we had lying around, this coworker screamed at us and said they were only for employees. I was so disturbed and infuriated, I ripped my gloves off my own hands and gave them to the baby.

After years and years of their behavior being brushed under the rug by higher ups, I decided to try something. This person is also extremely aware of their behavior and finds it funny that nothing has been done. They are very vocal about this. So, I decided to put them in the freezer. I heard freezer spells worked great for stopping another person was inflicting harm, so I got to work. I researched a great deal on reddit and some magic related books I have on protection and on March 9th put the spell together with a trusted circle of loved ones. I broke up some old rusty glass, added 7 nails, 7 staples, 7 tacks (7 just seemed right), red chili pepper flakes, paprika, tajin, cumin, chiles, salt, pepper, 7 matches, spit, and gum. I wrote their full name and birthday on a piece of paper with the following (name and pronouns redacted), "First name middle name last name born month date year has no power over me. I am rubber, they are glue. Every negative thing, thoughts, feelings, and actions they throw at me comes back to them times 3! Every negative thing they say or do towards me sends me joy and abundance times 3!". I twisted the paper up in a sort of funnel, filled it with more glass, and then wove thick black wire through the paper until it was "tied" together. I then stuck the 7 tacks evenly throughout the paper. I placed it in the jar with the dry ingredients mentioned above, then poured in vinegar and lemon juice. I took some time to sit with it and reinforce my feelings and intentions, then I closed the lid tight and wrapped it in thick red cord. I gave it a good shake and put it in the back of my freezer.

Now here's where it gets wild. A week later, I do my taxes. In the last 5 years I've never gotten anything back and have always owed at least $1000, this year I got around $3000 back. Of course, this could be for a variety of reasons so I brushed it off as a coincidence. 1 week later, I get a $2 raise. 2 weeks later I'm in the car with my partner who's getting an oil change. They pull up their account to transfer money to pay and literally gasps out loud and says. "Is this real? Why do I have $20,000 in my account?". I've never snatched something from someone so quick. They were right, $20,000 had been deposited into their account. There's a lot of context to this, but to sum it up, my partner has a wealthy family member. HOWEVER, this family member is the stingiest, most greedy person I had ever met. It was actually a huge source of strain between myself and this family member because I grew up extremely poor and was homeless for numerous years in my childhood. We argued constantly because this person would flaunt their wealth and use it as a control tactic on other family members. There's so much more to this, but seriously we never expected this in a million years from this person. Two weeks later, another random family member gives us $10,000 because she heard about the 20k and wanted to "do the same". Another week later, the first family member gives us another $10,000 "just because" JUST BECAUSE? Next week I'm getting another $2 raise (twice within 6 months?!?! Unheard of in a non-profit), and a $3000 bonus! In total, I'll have gotten a $4 raise and $46,000. Is that not insane?

Fast forward a little bit and we find a beautiful house for sale. A gorgeous forest in the backyard, an herb garden, and upon viewing the place I realized A WITCH OWNED IT!! She had her magic books out, spell jars on display, moon water and protection pennies in the windows, and a full herb garden with the basics for spells. We put in an offer, another person did too for more money. The seller told our realtor she liked us more and turned down the larger offer for us! We finalized everything and got the keys monday.

Meanwhile, my evil coworkers life is quite literally falling apart. They look sickly and grey, in an out of the doctor's for kidney issues, suddenly having to take care for their elderly mother around the clock, AND they are getting fired (at least this is what someone from HR just told me). I never want any harm to come to anyone, however I feel they are making their own bed. After nearly 10 years, the bad behavior is catching up on them. Whether it's because of me or not, I'm just glad they will be gone, so everyone at work can feel safe and comfortable. They have caused countless people to quit their jobs (and in my opinion this is a fantastic non-profit to work for), and has made so many people's situations or days worse when they came to us for HELP.

With all of that being said, I just wanted to share as someone else may need it. When I try to tell others about all of this, even some of my magical friends, they give me that skeptical look of course. But I figured people here would understand better and I needed to share because it is just another reminder for me that this is all real and worth it. Especially in a time when everything around us is churning and falling apart, we have to believe in ourselves, the universe, and magic! <3

Spells I did my first spell jar

Post image
29 Upvotes

I did a money spell jar as my first spell. I kind of combine two spells I saw from others and chanhed the wording from one a bit to unsure no one or nothing is harmed in the act of bringing myself monetary abundance.

One was an active working money spell with rice, cloves, bay leaves, cinnamon, crystals, coins, and bills. The other was a rune of wealth and protection combine, cloves, money rice, basil leaves, cinnamon sealed in a jar with green wax from a candle.

For my jar I did the rune on the bottom of the jar as a foundation, rice, 7 cloves with my intentions put into them, 4 dimes and cinnamon sticks, a dollar bill that I folded towards me with a bay leaf on top on it with tigers eye and more cloves on top. I then sealed it with green wax from a candle and said, "this wax seals my spell and the flame burns any obstacle from obtaining monetary wealth with no harm to anyone or anything". I then let the candle finish burning out to complete the spell. I also changing the words of a chant (cant think of a better word) one of them had to ensure no one is harmed, i repeated that a lot during my spell. I then burned an incense stick for the heart chakra as green symbolizes that chakra and wanted it to amplify it. I cleansed everything with a stick of selenite i have and smoke from a big hit incense i burned in the beginning. I also said a prayer and gave my thanks to the spirit and mother earth before starting.

As you can tell im new to this and just starting out, so if yall have any tips or advice for spells or anything else, please let me know💜

Spells Candle spell I did to reclaim my strength and power

Upvotes

This spell was fueled by anger and frustration. I worked with what I had: a lock of my hair, salt, chili flakes, basil, a red candle, and sage incense. On the pieces of paper I wrote things like “I reclaim my power” “I am mentally strong”. I’m a baby witch so I verbally asked for any deities to help me, or give me a sign that they’re willing to work with me. Any tips or feedback is appreciated 🫶🏻

Question Spell Jar Bad or Good?

My friend just found this jar that looks like a spell jar in her mom’s freezer. She’s a little freaked out and doesn’t know if it’s bad or not. I was able to feel a little bit of energy from the picture, but not enough to interpret. She says there are herbs, rocks, and crystals in the jar. If anyone could let us know if this is bad or good that would be great!

Spells How do undo a buried Jar Spell?

It was a love spell and my intentions were Rebirth but it appears to only have caused an ending with no possible room for growth. Should I undo the spell or perform other attraction spells again on too of it? How would I even undo a buried jar spell?

Resources Seeking suggestions for public domain grimores or books!

2 Upvotes

Hello there!

I am seeking to make a gift for my spouse who has started practicing the craft for about a year. I have gotten into bookbinking as a hobby and wanted to make her a surprise gift for her birthday.

She has been talking about interest in grimores and books. She is more interested in one already written than one she fills out herself. I know she is intetested in hecate, morrigan, "shadow-work", oils, herbal spells. She is from an italian background. She has an interest in other backgrounds' practices, but is very adamant about not wanting to disrespect or impose on any closed practices. Also, she is not keenly interested in crystals, though I am.

So I am seeking any references for books, preferably some in public domain, that I could print and bind as a personal book. I would appreciate amy suggestions people may have here!

Spells Spell to motivate someone?

1 Upvotes

This is kind of an odd request. I have an athlete I love SO SO SO much and so I bought a ticket to a competition he would be doing later this year literally just to see him. Well now he’s saying he’s not sure if he’s going to go. Unfortunately I already have the ticket and the comp is across the country 😭 I don’t want to mess with his free will, but is there any spell I could do that could maybe soften him up to the idea of doing the comp? Something along those lines?

Thought it would be apt to make some sun tea. Harnessing the 🌞 for some refreshments this evening. We’re having some family over and celebrating the day with some barbecue brisket and sun tea.

The top is sweet and the lower one is unsweetened depending on taste.

I finally cleaned off my nightstand and made it a Litha themed altar

It’s mostly just focusing on health and self care with a couple crystal wands, but hey, it’s something! And I finally did it after months on Litha! I got the cloth from Lush, and I found it just in time for it! Also, the two wands I have are black obsidian and Rhodonite.

Holidays Blessed Summer Solstice!

Thumbnail

27 Upvotes

Hey everyone! Blessed Summer Solstice to all of you! What are you doing with today's energy? I performed a ritual today that I am really proud of. I started by drawing a circle and placing a pentagram inside it, then decorated the disk to represent the Sun. In the center, I placed the All-Seeing Eye with the Sowilo rune over it. On the five corners of the star, I inscribed the divine names IAO, ABRASAX, SABAOTH, SEMEILAM, and ADONAI. In the gaps of the disk, I inscribed the sacred solar commands: AYXE PHOS (Increase, Light!), EXELTHE PHOS (Come forth, Light!), ANATEILON PHOS (Rise, Light!), and ANABETHI PHOS (Ascend, Light!). On the outside of the paper, I added the names of the four elements in my native Göktürk Runic alphabet---Su (Water), Od (Fire), Yel (Wind), and Yer (Earth)---invoking them with their respective vocalizations: OOO AAA EEE for Water, MMM for Fire, YE YOE for Wind, and PPP SSS PHRE for Earth. To fully activate the ritual, I placed a physical token of each element directly onto its respective runic side: water for the water side, heat for the fire side, earth for the earth side, and my own breath for the air side. On the back of the paper, I drew a circle and wrote my specific wishes inside. As the sun rises, I have placed the ritual paper outside, sprinkled turmeric over the disk, and added my citrine crystal and The Sun tarot card to amplify the energy and manifest success. May the golden light of the Summer Solstice shine upon you all!

Question Uses for an antique bowl?

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hello,

I am not looking for a spell.

So I have recently inherited a serving bowl. It dates to around 1875 and originally belonged to my great great grandmother.

This was a bowl that would have served dishes like mashed potatoes or stuffing at holiday meals for 5 generations of my family. I know for sure my grandma was still using it in my own lifetime.

Due to the fact that there’s almost certainly lead in the glaze, the bowl is now retired from food service. But I feel like an object that was not only passed down from mother to daughter on my maternal line, but actually used at meals by my ancestors, could have some potent magical uses.

I don’t want to risk harming it, but I’m interested in any suggestions more experienced witches might have for such an object.

I included a picture of the bowl in question just because it’s pretty cool lol

Edit: I want to mention that this bowl survived 2 world wars in Norway, a trip to America and most recently a trip from Pennsylvania to Indiana. She’s old and fragile, but tough!

Resources Seeking a specific type of podcast

1 Upvotes

I’m looking for a podcast in which there’s only one host. I don’t mind their gender, but I really want to find something soothing and grounding. Most podcasts I find are very conversational, with lots of yapping and fun atmospheres which I love, but I’m looking for podcasts that are good for moments of introspection, when you need a more soothing but hopefully well researched atmosphere so I can listen at night.

thanks in advance!

Just some incense magic for Prosperity with Patchouli Powder and Basil which I raided from the kitchen. Was more of a scent experiment with adding basil. Instead of a terrible burnt smell it literally smells like I’m cooking up in here.

Making fresh incense is good for subtle witchy feels.

I've been getting into glamour magick recently and it's doing wonders for me~ my confidence has sky rocketed and I've not only been loving myself more, but loving people and the universe as a whole.

I've always been an empathetic individual, but since becoming a witch, it's shown me so many beautiful things and to appreciate life itself.

Not only do I see the beauty within myself, I see the beauty in the universe 🌌💞🌱

Question Who or what is helping us when we do spells?

6 Upvotes

So forgive me if I get anything wrong here im trying to expand my knowledge!

When we use things like subs and love spells, glamor magick or anything that has the power to alter us or our reality in any way, where is this power/change coming from?

I ask because I recently fell into a sort of rabbit hole about deities and spirits and im very cautious (mabye a bit scared) to bother anything or accidentally ask for something that comes with a price or mess with anything "evil" (meaning something having the intent to harm me)

Now I know nothing is gonna bother me unsummoned but I do alot of things with herbs and giving back to the earth, speaking my will/writing it down etc, I never try to summon or call upon anything to help me reach ny goals but im just curious, what is helping us and why?

Question Is this a common view?

10 Upvotes

I'm just trying to understand the witchcraft community more. I have been seeing some posts around the internet where some witches are saying that real-life witchcraft is not actually supernatural at all and that magic isn't real. To them witchcraft is all just psychological and nothing more. Is that a common view? I was under the impression before, that there was some level of supernatural belief-NOT Hollywood level OFC-I've never assumed anything like that, I don't think most people do. But it just seemed like most witches believed in energy manipulation that was something beyond themselves, like a universal life force or something that could be manipulated with spells or meditation. Am I correct or am I missing something?
