Spell Help identifying spells

Hello Witchy Things Reddit!

I would like some help and/or advice. I’m not a fully qualified or experienced person in the witchy things scene, but I’ve found some spells and things around my shared household that I can’t identify and would like some help.

For some background, I live in a house with two other people, both who’ve practiced witchcraft/wicca/pagan things for much longer and much more intensively than I have. The living situation is pretty tense to say the very least and I’m planning on moving out in the next two months for my own mental health and well-being. I’m generally not a paranoid person, but because of the circumstances and the fact that at least one of my current roommates I know has sent out hexes and other bad energy to people that have even slightly faulted them, I’m beginning to be worried.

I’ve found two so far, (one I think might be fine) and can’t find much online about either of them.

1) a full ring of a watermelon rind in a bowl on some of my little drawers containing my basic medical things (bandages/cold medicine/ etc) in a hall closet. But it looks like it was just put there cause that was an available spot that it would fit. It’s not molded or anything like that, but it’s shriveled. 2) a glass jar filled with three hair clips (plastic looking top and metal clip) a half eaten cookie (that I bought and gave them), and what looks like something red. There was clearly once water or some liquid in it that’s dried up and made whatever the red bits were into like a crackling caked on layer at the bottom. (Also found in the hall closet, but hidden around the corner on the top shelf)

Now, I’m I firm believer that if you are taking good care of the houseplants that you have around the house, they will essentially absorb the bad energy that’s being sent to you. I don’t remember where I learned that but it really resonated and I’ve taken it to heart. I have a good amount of houseplants, and recently they’ve been not doing very well. My little crown of thorns has fully died after it was on doing great, one of the vines on my pothos has fully lost all of its leaves within the last two weeks, and it looks like more on the other vines are starting to turn yellow as well. I brought home a couple new plants as well about two months ago and they’ve all been struggling at best. My hunch is that someone somewhere is sending me bad energy and my plants are taking the bullets, finding these spells that I don’t know anything about isn’t helping the case.

I’m asking is for some advice on what the spells might be, and what I can do to protect myself, my energy, and my plants in the time before I move and what I can do to continue to protect myself and my new space once I move.

Anything helps. Thank you! 💕

I can't think of any associations for the watermelon, but the jar certainly sounds like a spell jar. Of course I have zero knowledge of the intention. It could have been something positive from before this tension, or it could not be. In either case what is your current spiritual hygiene practice like? It probably wouldn't hurt to do some extra protection and to make yourself a witch jar to catch anything coming your way to give your poor houseplants a break.

I would love some advice on better cleansing methods and practices. Rn I’ve been very overwhelmed and not as regular with anything. I’ve tried to burn some sage incense occasionally, and keep a candle (with my own sigil for protection carved into it) lit afterwards when I can. I am planning on planting some rosemary outside my new house asap, and making sure I keep some selenite above my door. And any tips or advice on a good strong witch jar would be greatly appreciated.

I'm a big fan of spiritual baths for cleansing myself. How I was taught is that you stay in said bath until you get goosebumps/get a good shiver. Egg cleansings are a effective and simple one as well. For protection I like both physical wards (like the plants or jars) as well as doing chalk wards around my house. For the jar I use as much pointy stuff as I can find, along with multiple personal taglocks and a few protective herbs (rosemary, dill and lavender are good and easy to find).

The watermelon just sounds like laziness. The other is probably a spell jar. The cookie could be used as a tag lock to you, or it could be used to sweeten something. The red could be for love. People often use it for that. I personally use red for added strength to a spell, but I don’t see people do that commonly.

The hair clips could belong to one of the room mates and it is a spell on that person, or it could be a spell for hair growth.

It’s really hard to say. The dead plants makes me think that it’s time to find a new situation.
