Hi! Sorry if this sounds like a silly question, or if it isn't worded well! I've mostly just been doing my thing quietly to myself and haven't really had the confidence to interact with any kind of community before!

I've just been wondering about what people do with everything used once they are finished with spells and rituals where the things used are no longer needed afterwards.

Just throwing things away feels very wrong to me, I can't help feeling like it's throwing away what I intended for it to be in the first place. I would like to be able to return any natural things used to nature, but I have no garden, really. I live in a bungalow with a shared strip of grass at the back, and I'm not allowed to do anything with it. So, I have been wondering what everyone does with everything afterwards!

And to add to this, do you guys reuse things that CAN be reused, or do you feel they were too ingrained in the initial spell or ritual to be able to be used in something else?

I'd love to learn more from others, and not just completely keep to myself like I have been doing!

I made a list of stuff I want to buy and eventually collect to kind of start out my supplies and hopefully altar. I wanted to ask though if an altar plate or spell bowl have to be made of a specific material? Does it have to be made of metal only or porcelain and would intentions/effects differ depending on what material it’s made of?

Here’s my list for reference. Feel free to suggest other stuff that I might need or overlooked

I am currently new to the craft and reading Wicca by Scott Cunningham and other resources suggested.

My question to all is do you honor and give offerings to the Deities you work with every day or every time you work with them? How do you maintain your relationships with Deities?

I want to work Deities once I’m well-versed on protection and warding, but I feel like ,I do a disservice if I’m not consistent and only call on them when I need something without consistent, honoring and offerings.

Today I have been boiling eggs and my boyfriend helped me set up the ice bath for them. As I’m fishing the eggs out I see a piece of paper floating and I realize he used my spell hidden at the very back of the freezer. I’m not sure what this could implicate. These eggs are for guests of a party we’re having. Also I put it back in the freezer in a hurry but it’s pretty much thawed already. Ughhhh

I cant find my candles so im wondering if theres another type of ritual with easy to find home items I can try to cut a connection with someone I no longer want in my life?

now, i’m no witch, but i’ve been reading into witchcraft a lot lately and trying to explore spirituality in general. the problem is i’m terrified of spirits. it doesn’t help that whenever i go to bed and turn off the lights, i immediately feel watched. this has been going on for forever, even before i got interested in witchcraft. idk if it’s just anxiety or if there’s something there. should i just steer clear of witchcraft? i’d rather ignore the spirits of this world and live in bliss than discover something i’d rather not know. also, i’m more afraid of seeing actual figures and encountering evil spirits than just curious ones.

for the longest time, i’ve been agonistic, telling myself this and that isn’t real, but the more i read into spirits and that type of thing, the more afraid i get. my fears really stopping me from exploring the universe.

i also worry spirits would target me because there are no deities i truly believe in. they don’t feel real to me, i more so worship the universe itself, but i’m scared that means there’ll be no one to protect me.

what should i do? is anybody else struggling with this or am i just too frightened? 😅

As the title says, I am a baby witch and I've been doing a lot of research on the time I have (Im a single mom so time for myself is very limited lol) and I just would love to know if there are things I should be doing everyday?

Hello! I smoke a lot of weed and the jars I have left over are quite solid glass jars, I’m just wondering how to reuse the jars like should I sage them or just simply wash them out and see what happens or do you think keep some remnants of weed dust in there for earth? Help please xxx

bueno, les voy a contar algo que me pasa hace mucho tiempo, como hace creo 3 meses, estoy como muy obsesionada, bueno no sé si obsesionada, me llama la atención,los vampiros es algo que surgió, y ahora no puedo parar de pensar en ellos, ademas que tengo un cuaderno donde anoto información y investigo sobre ellos
y todo ese tema.
pero no es solamente esto lo que me sorprende sino es que todo esto de la época victoriana época medieval, esas cosas también es como que veo cosas o recuerdo y me trae como nostalgia, no sé porque
la otra vuelta tuve un sueño de que como que yo era una princesa, por así decirlo en un castillo y yo veia en el sueño(vision) que estaba enamorada de un chico, y no me acuerdo si era un vampiro se que no era normal a los demas y lo que más atención es que no cualquiera chica de 16 años, le llama la atención todas estas cosas, la mayoría está enfocada en otras cosas, no en todo esto de las épocas antiguas, la reencarnación o recordar cosas como de mi vida pasada ,siento que no encajo en esta epoca como si no fuera de esta epoca yo.

también otra cosa que me llame la atención, yo tengo como un presentimiento de qué tengo como una esperanza que alguien me está buscando, no sé si un vampiro, pero como que me está buscando no sé quién es el pero es mi presentimiento tengo ese sentimiento de espera siento que yo estoy esperando a alguien…

I feel like my spells just... aren't working, and it's starting to get really discouraging.

I've tried putting intention into them, following the steps, cleansing, using the right correspondences, and giving them time, but nothing seems to come of it. At this point I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong, if I'm blocking myself somehow, or if I'm just expecting too much.

Has anyone else been through this? What helped? Did you change your practice, your mindset, or the types of spells you were doing?

I'd really appreciate any advice because I genuinely need some of my workings to come through, and right now it just feels like I'm hitting a wall.

A lot of practitioners talk about how journaling really helped them and especially in glamour magick, they use it to set intentions. I tried journaling and also meditation, but I just can't seem to form a connection with my writing, it always feels pretentious and I just can't get to a meditative state because of my living conditions which i can't change unfortunately. Is there another way I can connect with myself? I sometimes talk about my problems and feelings out loud to myself and I like that better than journaling. Is that enough?

I’m not a baby witch but I am new to glamour Magick, and I was wondering if anyone had any good books, videos, blogs, or sources to learn more about it. Thank you!!

I'm a university student and I simply can't have candles in my flat. What's the best way to start, without them?

Like one that even when you were doubting yourself and had NO idea if it would work….hit HARD. Undeniable proof that helped your confidence in your magic? I need something to keep me staying positive right now 🔮
