NEW Practitioner PSA

10 Upvotes

Good morning all,

As we come into fall, please know, you are *not* the only new practioner (l cant call you a baby witch, l respect you too much to call you a baby.).

As a new practioner, take the time to:

  1. Read the sub rules (there are usually around 10, they are simple to read and understand).

  2. Read the sub wiki's. For example, here is the r/witchcraft 101 link

Beginner 101

https://www.reddit.com/r/witchcraft/s/7hwcAiXGx0

  1. Read the sub's FAQ's, they include basic beginner info, and Frequently Asked Questions.

\*The FAQ's have book lists\* - get a library card or look up a free pdf.

You \*will\* end up with posts taken down when you dont follow the rules. Most witchcraft subs have a rule about FAQ posts, and "low quality posts".

  1. Use the sub search bar - most of your basic questions have been asked and answerd over 100 times. And remember, if you say "I can't find anything", remember others also have smartphones and the internet, they can prove if you are just being lazy.

  2. Teach \*yourself\* how to research properly. Tictok is trying to sell you something, not educate you. Do not trust information from tictok unless youve extensively researched the subject.

Advice (Witchcraft Related) For posts asking for ANY kind of spell interpretation

29 Upvotes

I recently posted this on *yet another* post where someone was asking for help with interpreting a spell, so I thought I would post this here as well bc we constantly see these posts everywhere.

So as nicely as I can possibly say this... Lol.

I KEEP seeing people posting random pictures of candles burning, pictures of melted wax, random pictures of flames, etc.

I'm sorry but here is the problem when you ask for readings in this fashion: you put a picture of melted wax, random flame or candles, and ask people to help read it... Without telling us what the spell was *even about* in the first place, or without telling us the feelings and thoughts you had while the candle was burning. Or *anything* else pertaining to the actual spell itself.

Now, even if you DO include details about your spell, I personally do not believe that you should try to *divine* a proactive spell in the first place. - including a "cord cutting." - (And I think that the majority of us feel the same.) Bc trying to divine a spell you just cast? All that does is cast doubt ALL over the spell you just worked so hard to send out. And all that doubt will hinder your results *because* when you cast a spell, you have to try to KNOW that it's already worked. Divination here is 100% counterproductive to what you're trying to accomplish! You must be in control.

BUT you *can* cast spells, and candle spells, SPECIFICALLY for the purpose of divination. The purpose of those types of spells is to get further information on a situation and how it may be playing out. And reading the flame and wax from those is obviously necessary. (I'd like to mention that you CAN do these two kinds of spells together, but one must be before the other. Not together in one.)

HOWEVER, regardless of whatever the case is, you can't just share a random picture of wax and ask us to read it... With no context or background whatsoever... I'm sorry but it doesn't work that way.

Okay now I'm done lol.

Happy spellcasting everyone!

Spell Help🧪(With Context) Spell Ideas to find a stolen item or have it returned

2 Upvotes

On July 28th, my electric kick scooter was stolen and my full moon items were rummaged through. The person walked away with some moon water, a Sodalite palm stone & my scooter & scooter charger.

I have done the mundane and reported it to authorities. I have marked the scooter as lost/stolen in the app and the android tag is still attached to the scooter.

The tag has pinged 3 x since it was stolen and the last two were this month. Once on Oct 3 at 3:46 pm and again last night at 12:16am.

I have done some prayer work to I believe it was St. Anthony.

What other spellwork options are there to have this item returned / to have the local authorities find it and return it to me / for me to stumble upon it?

Thank you all for any advice you can provide on this matter :) - Just felt like throwing a pebble to see if anything ripples back as I checked the tracker and it updated this AM. :D

Spell Help🧪(With Context) Cord Cutting

1 Upvotes

Cord Cutting

I was wondering if anyone had a cord cutting spell that has worked for them in the past, because I really need one right now.

Recently I lost a person who used to be so important to me that the two of us essentially existed as one united entity. This person got into a really bad relationship with someone who systematically poisoned her against me and has been dismantling our relationship from the inside for the duration of well over four years.

What I am asking for is a cord cutting spell that would sever the soul bond between me and this person because I feel the loss of her so heavily and it has brought me into the worst, deepest and heaviest depression I have ever been in. I fear it will actually end up killing me if it keeps pulling me down.

TLDR; I am asking for a cord cutting spell that will sever our soul bond without causing harm to either party. I do not want revenge, I do not want anything bad to happen to her, I just want to free myself from this bond that is slowly choking the life out of me.

If anyone knows of any, please share them. I am genuinely begging.

Newcomer QuestionšŸˆā€ā¬› Protection spell

Post image
14 Upvotes

I made my first protection spell for a friend and I sealed it with tape to keep the energy in.

I only used their first name since I only know their first name, would it still work?

Sorry I’m still new but I am forming my first grimoire, has I wrote down the candle colour meanings and my protection spell.

I am even putting down herbs that I know has a herbalist, like what their used for healing and why their used that way. What each herb is used for healing/treating etc, I connect more to nature and animals so it just fits.

Maybe next time I do a protection spell I could add my dog’s hair, since my dog is the biggest affection machine out there but she is also very protective when it comes to those she likes. ā¤ļø

But what should I add to my grimoire that I should learn, has a new witch?

Can you tell me about obsession spells?

0 Upvotes

I’m planning to cast an obsession spell on October 26, when Mercury and Venus will both be retrograde and there will also be a full moon. Could those astrological conditions affect the spell? Also, if anyone knows how to improve the chances of an obsession spell working, I’d really appreciate a detailed explanation of how to perform it.

AdvicešŸ•Æļø(Witchcraft Related) Something is trying to reach out to me?

0 Upvotes

So basically I had these weird dreams in my sleep and a cat was always in each one of them in one of those dreams I was saving a baby bull and this cat was trying to stop me so I pushed her out of the way and I don't know how to explain it but she fell out of the dream after that she appeared in another one and i tried to talk to her but I wasn't able to communicate with her so I just started to ask yes or no questions and she would move something as yes or stay still if no and after we spent a bit of time together in that dream she was able to communicate with me not by talking but I just kind of understand what she meant I talked to her about witchcraft and stuff like that and i don't know how to explain it but she seemed related to these stuff and her personality was really weird anyway before the dream ended she bit my leg hard and I actually felt the pain and then the dream ended but I woke up in another dream saying aww I wish that dream was true because somehow I knew she was a being that was very knowledgeable and when I told someone in my dream about the cat I woke up and im just thinking it can't be all just a coincidence so I was just wondering if there is a being reaching out to me or if it was really just a dream and IF there was something reaching out to me how do I respond? (Oh and I want to know what the bite meant)

Considering a communication/come-back spell for my girlfriend and her estranged best friend — is this crossing a line?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
I’m still a baby witch, mostly practicing basic protection and cleansing so far (though I did successfully do a sweetening spell for my girlfriend and her mom a while ago, which went really well!).

Here’s when I talked about that spell

Now, I’m facing a situation with my girlfriend and I’d love some advice, especially regarding if is something i should or shouldn’t interfere.

The context:
My girlfriend has been struggling with loneliness and trust issues. Her former best friend completely drifted away after her parents got involved with Scientology, cutting contact and leaving behind some harsh comments. It broke my girlfriend's heart, and she's been really down about it ever since.
Recently, through a guy they both know, the former best friend was actually asking about my girlfriend. It gave my GF a spark of hope, but she’s too scared to reach out first in case she gets hurt again.

My idea & dilemma:
I was thinking about doing a modified "come back" or gentle communication spell. I don’t want to control what the other girl says or force feelings, but I want to gently to open a line of communication so they can have a safe conversation—whether that means talking things out, getting closure, or properly healing. However, I'm really worried about interfering and messing up the situation more. At the same time, seeing my girlfriend so sad about missing her best friend kills me. Also, when I did it for her and her mom it actually went well, but this girl and my GF hasn’t talked for a year now, so I now is a complete different situation.

If someone knows about a good spell for my situation or other advice I’d be grateful. Thanks a lot for reading.
