r/BabyWitch

hello everyone. I am new to the community and relatively new to Witchcraft. I’ve always been interested in it and I’ve always felt like I’ve had a connection to it, but I am in a religious household, so I was always kind of scared and turned away from it

However, recently I turned 18 and I have decided to say fuck it and to start my journey. I got by tarot cards at the beginning at this year and I’m still in the process of trying to memorize it in trying to get better at readings.

I want to get more familiar with how to make my own spells and getting connected with my ancestors and things like that. So if there’s any tips or suggestion for beginner/baby which is that you have. I would love. Love to hear them !!! any of you guys, wanna be friends, I’m also very open to that!!!

Hello, 23F. I live in Jackson, Mississippi, in the center of the city; not exactly Jackson, don't want to overshare. After reasonable consideration and observation of the genocide and killings of the black youth, I would like to do something spiritual to help me find out why my people are being killed and why the investigations are being halted. I have also planned to get a dash cam and a body cam. Because I am also a target. I live on campus so that it could be anybody, and I need solid evidence. I do not carry a weapon, unfortunately, but am planning to.

This ritual I am looking for, in particular, has to do with grief, wisdom, protection, happiness, and wealth, and I could really use some help from the community if anyone can help a girl out. I just had so much rage; I didn’t know where to look. I do have a local stone and energy shop I know of and several more—anything: sage, smoke, gems, stones, rocks. I can prepare it for this issue. Thank you to anyone who does participate.

I have had a few bad crystal shop experiences recently with exploitative or unsafe people so wanted to make a general psa for other young women to watch out for someone who's energy seems off or bad. Just because they seem to be spiritual doesn't mean they are a safe person to be around, and if your getting weird vibes, don't feel guilty just get yourself out of the situation quickly and safely. xxx

I did a spell it was a protection spell or at least I think I did, and after the candle went out I had an instant feeling of tiredness, I felt drained and I felt weak. its my first spell but is this normal from your guy's personal experiences and all. Ive been conflicted about witchcraft and wether its real and all but the feeling of tiredness and weakness of my body sort of made me have more confidence in it. Is this feeling normal? I mean I've heard about people getting tired after big spells but it was very simple and I dont even know if I did it right

I’ve been dabbling in spells and rituals but it seems like it’s expected that you invest in a lot of different ingredients, tools, books, crystals, herbs, special candles, and so on. And I’m noticing quite a lot of consumerism, marketing and advertising related to it (not that other faiths don’t have problems with it in their own ways).

I’m assuming there’s definitely ways to practice more frugally without as many supplies. I’m just new and don’t know exactly where to look.

Have you found useful resources for spells, learning resources, and so on that don’t require much of a financial investment or a ton of supplies?

This is a repost of an older thread of mine from r/witchcraft - original here. The reason I'm reposting it is this thread by u/pomegranatejello. I think low cost improvisation is a very useful thing to discuss. It's no coincidence that the two most recognisable pieces of equipment for the traditional witch/cunning person were cauldrons and broomsticks - two items found in almost every house.

I've noticed a number of posts from people worried about not being able to afford witchcraft paraphernalia, so I thought I'd start a post about people's low cost ways to approach practicing magic.

Quoting myself from one of these recent posts:

>The cunning people of the past used whatever they had available to them. Most of the archetypal implements of the cunning person or witch were things that could be found around the house.

>I think the ability to improvise - to put any available tool to use - is a really good skill for any practitioner.

In terms of my practice, I try to carry some string and a piece of chalk. I can knock up a pendulum from just about anything when I'm out and about. If I can't find something appropriate from the area, I can use one of my keys. The chalk is for sigils. I like the fact that they're inherently temporary and will be washed away by the next rain.

I've also recently used a defunct mobile phone as a scrying mirror. The black screen was perfect for the task.

So I'm looking for inspiration here - what low cost hacks have you found for practicing magic?

ive been struggling a lot with things pertaining to dieties, mainly just certainty that they’re with me, listening and that my messages are getting through to them. or sometimes, interpreting certain signs. ive gone on a couple subreddits asking for help in certain things because i just simply dont know the answer a lotttt of the time and im not yet confident in my own intuition. i am brand new to diety work, ive only done it for two months and ive been so lost this whole time

and people are telling me im lazy, or that i need to ask the diety directly for answers, that coming to a subreddit isnt helpful and that i need to learn on my own. just generally unhelpful comments that feel really condescending and rude. i feel so lost and confused with it all because i have absolutely no guidance and nobody is willing to help me out with anything i have questions about. i want to be certain, i want to be confident in myself but its hard when i have zero support and absolutely no guidance. idk what to do about it!

i want to do some spells on myself and my friend wants me to do some spells for her and her boyfriend.

ive done a few spells before but they didn’t work cus i don’t think i did it right.

how do i do petitions, and set the intention and like i know you’re supposed to call to your herbs and basically give them a job but how do i do that?? can anyone help me😓

Dears it is time I asked for help. The past couple of months have been bad. Like really bad. I started noticing something was off when my sister told me she also hadn’t been sleeping. She’s usually the first one up and I’m always the one last to sleep (worked night shift in every job I’ve had.) then mom said the same thing. Weeks of no one in the house sleeping. Extreme issues between each other, pets, finances, cars, employment, health.

How do I even start to get rid of whatever funk we’re in. My family started looking up random things online and because I don’t trust the source (chat gpt) here I am. I need help. We didn’t just pick up a hex bag or something. It’s just. We started going downhill bad. I need to cleanse. This isn’t a ‘light an incense and pray’ situation. I need some real deep breathing again in my home..

Thanks for any assistance 💛

I really really want more good friends in my life, people with whom we'd really connect and grow together. I've always been a shy and lonely person, ever since I was a kid I was excluded. I'm not sure why. I want to have so many beautiful experiences with friends, and I have so much love to give. But it seems that people don't like me. And even my current friends, who are great people, don't really prioritize me as I do for them. Which is okay, I just feel lonely and don't want to spend my life without having a true, fun friend group or some really good friends. What can I do? I'd like a spell with guaranteed (as much as possible results), it's a need that I have to stop ignoring.

My son who is 5 has incredibly bad night terrors. When he wakes up from one he is screaming my name and jumps for me when I arrive. He is sweaty, out of breath and his heart beats so fast.

I'm always weary of doing any sort of ritual or spell work on behalf of my children but just looking to see if any of you have any suggestions to consider that might help stop them.
