Soo I have no space for altars, spells, etc. and this is a huge problem for me, because even if I were to use my room and clean something our so theres just a bittt of space, it's not really "my" room, I share it with my grandma who doesn't like those kinds of stuff and I just have zero privacy overall, I used to have my own room but my cousin js kinda has it now bc the house originally came from their family - okay I talked too much long story short I have no space.

Is there Anything I can do about it? Just clean more and more again? Manifest and make a spell for a new space? Honestly I've been thinking if I could just do my spells outdoors honestly.

Like the title says, I want the basics BUT I also want to know because I'm making my own oracles! I really WANTT the tarot of aphrodite, I wanna be an aphrodite devotee and I love the themes of love and all, but I think I'm just gonna make my own oracle with the theme, should I buy blank playing cards first? From your experience is it better to hand craft them or fully digitalize the design and print it all out in one go?

I've gotten the magician two times when I asked why someone viewed my tiktok profile. I read it as a jumper card as well.

I interpreted this as them viewing me as their source of creativity, creation or manifestation. Could also be me "manifesting" them as well, since I've been wanting to have a leeway to be seen online. Or, the magician as in "you can create whatever meaning you want out of it". Anyways, I just find it odd because these are usually people I'm not close with. Any thoughts?

Can anyone help. I currently have a manifestation journal I haven't used in a long time because I believed it should be sacred. I indent it with my energy. I was depressed, nothing came to fruition. For context, The biggest thing that caused this spiritual downfall was realizing that no matter what I did, my parents still would never recognize me, feeling this disrespect, and KNOWING I can't do anything about it emotionally, spiritually or physically without any help from others (I can't cut them off/move houses anw) but not having anyone to be with caused such a big mental and spiritual downfall.

I believe the reason that I haven't been manifesting well is because of the negative energies around me. Your essence not being respected from birth to death by people around you will ultimately suck out your source of life. So, I've been writing "I forgive my journal for all the manifestations that haven't come to fruition" or "I banish all negative energies around me", and they've been the affirmations that feel the best so far. Still, it always feels like a bandaid to the pain and the inner work.

Is there anything I can do? I was inspired by the banishing spells by witches but, once again. I feel very helpless, there's no money nor physical or mental space for me to do those spells, so I made them using affirmations instead. I just feel drained all the time, with friends or family alike. Has anyone gone through this?

Type Me Questionnaire

This is just for fun since I already know my type.

Questionnaire by u/brouhaus

Tell me about your internal experience of yourself. What makes you, you?

\>\\> I'm very high strung. I have a deep persecution complex and think that everyone is lying to me or making me believe something. I've had a long Truman show complex before even watching the show, and believer that other people were fake human beings or AIs and I am the only one who truly exists. Anybody who convinced me off of my solipsism was manipulative! I trusted myself on that. I even pride myself on my isolation. My bad composure doesn't even show. Instead, I seem serious and composed.

You just had a really good day. Describe it. It can be a real recent example or an aspirational one.

\>\\> A good day is a day with routine. I'd wake up, meditate, do yoga, do my makeup with my subliminals on, do my hair and my clothes, then head straight to school or to a restaurant. I'd either get coffee with a friend or spend time taking pictures all by myself. I'd smell good and get lots of compliments from other people. What's important is that I talked to somebody/reflected all by myself. At the end of the day, I'd come back home with a feeling of gratitude and ease. I would check my schedule for tomorrow, if ever I was missing any deadlines, and go back to sleep. That's my example of a good day.

If someone is upset with you, what is the typical reason for it? Give a recent example.

\>\\> They tend to get mad because I seem snobbish or hard to read.

What are you like when you're stressed? What are your coping mechanisms? Give an example of a recent stressful situation and how you handled it.

\>\\> I distance myself from the situation. I don't emotionally engage with it. Instead, I get a "bird's eye view" on things, only trusting my logic. I tend to write notes, plans, theories. Under a long period of stress, I can become increasingly avoidant, inexpressive, narcotic and overthinking. However, when I am handling stress normally, I balance my own independence and insight with active participation and goal-setting.

What pushes your buttons? What makes you angry? How does your anger manifest? Can you be openly angry with others?

\>\\> I dislike not being recognized! Having a high social status is nice. It's safe. And In order to have it, you would have to put in effort. I put in effort to be this person, only to be ignored and sidelined. I dislike it. It triggers me. I immediately call out the person if ever they are rude or ungrateful for my services. I do not tend to be openly short-tempered or crude, I'm still procedural even with my emotions.

What’s your deepest fear? Why is that your fear?

\>\\> I have lots of anxiety about the future. Recently, I have failed something that I wish I had prepared for, and now I'm convinced that my whole life will turn to shit. There are many things that can go wrong at any moment, many people who can betray you in just a second. It's important that you always keep to yourself and trust yourself. This way you can atleast save yourself the betrayal of self-sabotage.

What types of memories cause you the most shame? What feelings cause you the most shame? What is it about them that causes you shame?

\>\\> I feel ashamed of the times where I was vulnerable to the wrong person. I feel deeply regretful whenever I remember it and curse at myself for being stupid. I don't wanna talk about it.

What is your relationship with pleasure? What gives you pleasure? Can you have pleasure when you want it, or do you have to earn it?

\>\\> I have a bad "instinct". I'm too mechanical. I'm unaware of how to think through immediacy, I only act when I believe it serves my future. Hedonism doesn't even get to my head. If I convinced myself it did, I would simply be lying. Living through a narrative. Again. I know that I have raw strength and intelligence but I also know that I lack the courage and will to keep going. I have to be pushed by someone else. Always. I end up admiring this person/authority so much that I devote my whole life and all my talent to them, as long as they keep replenishing me with their will and order. I will trust them with my life, if that's what it takes. I don't have any security in myself. I don't have any confidence that I can count on my own will. I'd rather take on others' will. This person often becomes the substitute for the 'authority' that I so dislike. Yes. It has become a pattern enough for me to mention it. It's happened many times.

What’s your relationship with authority? Think both abstractly and with specific authorities in your life, possibly your parents, boss, religious leader, doctor, or government figures? Are you an authority?

\>\\> I do not like them. I've resented them ever since I was a kid. I hate them. I hate them for pushing certain beliefs on the general public while refusing to let them critically think for themselves. I hate them for making their students or followers ignorant and submissive. I dislike them for what they represent; not thinking at all. Despite this, I often become one of the star students of any section I belong to. I'm easily regarded as obedient, reliable and trustworthy by both teachers and classmates alike. I find this irony quite funny.

When your mind wanders, what are you thinking about?

\>\\> My anxieties. I tried meditation before! Unfortunately, I just ended up thinking about my to do lists and plans for the day. What would happen if I didn't do this? What would have happened if I took the opportunity from last time? My mind spirals!

You have a big decision to make. Describe how you decide what to do.

\>\\> I'm very decisive as long as I'm not pressured enough. If it benefits my future, I would do it.

What’s your biggest flaw?

\>\\> Always being alone. Having a short temper. Overthinking. These are the things that often come up when I ask others about my traits.

\>\\> As I interpret it, my grave sin is pride. It would not be wrath. I am not violent in the very least. That would be a misconception. I am not prideful in the sense of being cocky and boastful, but in the sense of only caring for myself, only trusting myself, valuing myself over others and devaluing everything that doesn't serve me. I have great pride in my abilities. I often take leadership roles. Part of this is because I have a lack of 'pride' in others. I do not recognize their talent. Only mine. And this feels right! Pride has lead me to anger, isolation and sadness. It's my sin and my flaw. Sloth would also be close, with my reluctance to engage with certain things.

What makes you special? (Or, if you don't feel special, what at least makes you different from other people?)

\>\\> I think I have a good amount of raw talent. Intelligence. Artistic skill. Speaking skills. Morale. They all came to without me thinking about them. In fact, they come to me at moments where I want to sabotage myself and my life the most. Intelligence, amongst all, is one of the things that others notice about me. They immediately trust me and my foresight. I think this makes me special.

How much of your mental energy is spent on thinking about each of the past, the present, and the future?

\>\\> Hm. I'd say I think about the past and the future the most. My anxieties about the future is sometimes related to the failures that have already happened in the past. On the other hand, sometimes it feels I don't think about the present at all.

You unexpectedly find yourself with a whole weekend with no obligations, and everyone else is busy. How do you feel about it? What do you do?

\>\\> Yay. I guess. There would be many things for me to do. I'd simply go ahead and do one or two of my hobbies. Reading, yoga, journalling or going out all by myself. I definitely have to increase the amount of hobbies I have, now that I think about it.

What’s your personal vibe/style/aesthetic? How cultivated vs natural is it, and how much time do you spend on it? Do you turn it on and off?

\>\\> I dislike saturated colors. I go the far mile to never wear them. At all! That's the only thing tying my personal style together. My likes tend to change a lot, after all. I used to have an emo/alternative style, and now I dress a bit more into the boho/spiritual style while still having the same pallete that I've always liked. Whites, greys, blacks and a bit of gold.

Which of the following is the most like you? Explain. A) I know what I want, I go out and make it happen, and people won't stop me. B) I am content to be on my own and not draw too much attention to myself. C) I have to be responsible and dedicated, and I put others’ needs first.

\>\\> I am most like A. As long as I order myself or am ordered to do something, I won't stop until I get it. I'm very straightforward. I'm also a bit like C. As explained, I tend to look for a role model to follow, and I put their orders before mine. I can't even move my own self. I'm the first place. The reason I put it second is because I'm unaware if it refers to general people-pleasing, which I don't do. I am the least like B. I could never be content with myself. That's all.

Which of the following is most like you? Explain. A) I dislike stress and negative vibes, and I may try to distract myself from my problems. B) I have strong feelings, get worked up easily, and am not afraid to show it. C) I don’t like to let my feelings show; they get in the way of being efficient and logical.

\>\\> I am the most like C and most likely no other option. I tend to be melodramatic on the inside, yes, but I turn it into logic. I dislike it when emotions cloud my judgment or I get attached to a specific thing, person or idea. Even if I trust and follow something, a part of me would always be skeptic about it. The same goes for people. Even if I love somebody, if there comes a time they do me slightly wrong, I won't hesitate from cutting them off. This course of action and decision has happened many times.

Which of the following is most like you? Explain. A) I look to others for feedback and guidance and am willing to be flexible when needed. B) I am always aware of how things could be better, and I’m disappointed that they are not. C) Deep down, I am afraid people won’t give me what I need unless I make it worth their while.

\>\\> I am most like C. I make myself independent, unforgettable and irreplaceable so others can praise me, acknowledge me and give me my needs. I deny my own insuffiency in the process and get angry at others when they don't give me what I want. I can also be like B because I tend to regret past decisions a lot. I am the least like A because I really dislike looking to others for feedback. I hate outsourcing my emotions, and I'm not very flexible either. I only like to trust myself.

Hi! What are some good tarot spread ideas for reconnecting with an old friend? + knowing what they feel about me rn, I only know intentions spread and the 6 card friendship compatibility spread but it doesn't really apply rn.

Just dm me and we can share socials! Preferably girls only or people in my age range (15-19), I want more online friends lately and most of all, tips they can share hehe

Hii! Cheer me up y'all with your going from a rut to a good self concept nd attracting abundance stories! I'd lovee to hear them.

I'm about to buy a journal for my birthday. It HAS to be pink and decorated. Do you guys recommend this to be a way for me to connect with Aphrodite as well? How should I design it? I want the journal to be all about self-love, glamour and Aphrodite's sassiness. I've seen some witches do journals like this, but I'm a baby witch so I need yalls opinions...

I'm a baby witch that have yet to do a protection spell, but once I do, can anyone tell me the basics for a "spell that makes your love life active/invites the right person for you"? I wonder what ingredients I need for that... I really think lots of honey or sugar since I want to invite a lot of sweetness/softness and not rlly the kind of love that is obsessive, you know? Should I simply do glamour? Or stack the spells? Thank u!

Personally, I really like the stupid Cupid tarot spread from @lightwands (I js love the idea sm) I also like the usual 5 card intentions spread. What about yours?

Hi! I'm new to paganism and witchcraft, can anyone help me with seeing which future deity to work with? I want to work with Aphrodite, Lilith, Hekate, Nemesis, Athena or Ezrulie Frida. I want to work with glamour, self-love, revenge, etc. I can give more reasons in replies but I want to know the basics nd their differences first if anyone can help? I was told to check this subreddit as well.

I did a reading for a classmate

So I was offering free readings in a classroom once, and this girl who had a boyfriend wanted to know how her love life was going. Since I was bored with the past, present, future spread, I did an intentions spread.

THE CARDS I GOT:

The first card that I got was the queen of wands (what they want), the second card I got was the four of wands (what they'll do to get it), the third card I got was the hermit (what they won't do/the boundary), then I got eight of wands as the fourth (actual motivations) and the emperor reversed as the fifth (final outcome/what will happen if they don't do anything

Don't have a picture unfortunately, but I interpreted this as the guy wanting her to be as intense and free as the queen of wands, and ultimately their relationship being very very, positive since he is motivated to have a spark and good timing, and there's also that homely feeling, but they tend to be very attached to each other to the point they can't ever be alone, which may overall lead to them losing responsibility or accountability in their personal/academic life. When she chose her last card, she placed it at the very start of the spread (I motivated her to place them everywhere) (queen of wands), which I interpreted as it starting with a spark and ending with a spark.

Was my interpretation alright? My friend was very satisfied with this reading, admitted that they truly were emotional from start to beginning and I myself felt connected with it. Their relationship did seem to be positive, but she also said they were arguing a lot. How do you guys think this should be read?
