r/Wicca

looking to relocate. where do the pagans live?

I feel like everything is going back down again.

Ive gained 20 pounds after losing weight, my skin has become full of acne and pimples after finally getting it to clear, my hair is falling out, my grades fell down greatly. I don't want to do anything, talk to anyone...

I feel sick everyday. I keep eating even though I'm not hungry. My friends pretty much abandoned me, I don't have a life outside of school. I don't even go outside. Today, I tried to better myself. I did my work, my assignments and participated in class. Even the teachers commended me. I wanted to skip my last class because I had a fever and felt like I was going to throw up the whole day but I forced myself not to because I literally feel like that everyday.

So I went to the classroom and people were complimenting me for something and just after that I chipped a part of my front teeth ... Everytime I try to get better something bad happens to me.

I don't know if I'm just trying to make excuses for my own shortcomings but I just feel like something is wrong. My family has a history of people being cursed and with literally everyone at home being both mentally and physically sick I can't help but feel like that has something to do with it?

What can I do to protect myself? I carry protection jewelry with me normally...but I didn't today. Should I do a house cleansing while I'm at it? With salt? Please, anyone who knows what to do, can you help?

hi yall, me and my partner are wanting to both get back into practicing… I’ve worked with Persephone in the past and have felt a strong pull back to her recently… My partner also stated she wanted to get back into it as well. was just wondering about experiences with two people in one household worshiping different deities! and if there are any we should steer clear of working with in the same home! thanks in advance guys!!

Hi! I am working on my grimoire and looking for nicely illustrated herbals cards that basically identify the herb and show a picture of the plant that I can add to my book and then write my own findings and uses for said herb. Any ideas? Most that I have found are oracle cards or have info on the back which would go unseen and seems like a waste to me. I wish I could draw

When Iwas a teenager one of my friends had this ring that had alot of skulls on it. We always had really bad darkish feelings about it. Once on a dare I put it on my left ring finger. I didnt feel any cuts, pinches, scrapes or anything else like that, it fit really well. Took it off also without incident. But 15 ish minutes after taking it off I noticed my finger was covered in dried blood. Should I have been worried about this?

Hey everyone! I have a granddaughter who is very interested in lucid dreaming. I want to get her a book on it for her bday and was wondering if anyone has read "Into the Dream" by Winter Rogue and can recommend it or recommend something else? I found that one on Amazon and some others also, but it sounded like the most info maybe.

Thanks in advance

Im in Western Australia Mandurah area on the Perth line I can go to Mandurah and Rockingham

so new to this, my lover wants to cast a spell that's going to make our relationship more strong and durable idk the spell exactly. as far as i know she is a spirituel person she does tarot and coffee divination and sees strong dreams etc. and i believe what makes our relationship strong is via communication, but i can't convince her and she keeps asking for my consent to cast the spell. i told her that blood bond is the same like we used to when we were child. my question is: is there a feedback, is it strong and what this could do?

Good afternoon!

r/Witchcraft is proud to announce we've been accepted to host a temple at Temples of PanSophia at the beautiful Gaea Retreat Center this weekend!

Temples of PanSophia: https://templesofpansophia.net/#temples

Gaea Retreat Center: https://gaearetreat.org/

In order to facilitate opportunities to learn and share between the online community of r/Witchcraft and the real world attendees of Temples of PanSophia, we've set up a temporary discord where r/Witchcraft users from around the world can virtually attend the two one-hour class discussions of witchcraft as well as attend and submit virtual offerings to the Group Ritual: A spell to facilitate, create, foster, and protect community spaces and sharing. Times for these classes will be announced on the discord when the Temples of PanSophia organizers finalize the schedule.

The Discord will be open from now until Tuesday and will then be deleted.

The rules of r/Witchcraft, Temples of PanSophia, and Gaea Retreat Center will be expected to be observed by virtual attendees: no sales, personal promotions, doxxing, sharing of private information, hate speech, or disrespect. All 3 organizations promote and believe in healthy and kind sharing of different perspectives with the objective of learning, growth, and both personal and community empowerment.

The moderators of r/Witchcraft are grateful for this opportunity and look forward to offering this community sharing experience!

The reason I feel the need to come out is because I can't stand living a lie anymore. I can't stand pretending to believe in God just so they'll respect me. I'm so sick of hiding my practices, not being able to wear anything that resembles witchcraft, tired of being scared if they will smell my incense. I'm seriously at my limit here.

But on the other hand they are those kind of christians who will judge someone as being a witch just cause they didn't answer "God bless" back. We don't live in the same house, but we do share the same yard, and others live very close.

Plus, they are my husband's family (he supports me and is even showing interest in what I practice). But they blame me for literally everything that goes wrong in our lives, and also I notice they are less and less affectionate towards me since we stopped going to church, and I'm pretty sure his aunt say my pentagram the other day. I'm genuinely sad about all this, from me having to hide to them blaming me and pulling away.

So for those who share a similar background, what was your experience with telling them the truth? If they don't know, what made you decide not to share?

I know what yall are probably gonna say, but I need some advice.

I've been with my girlfriend for a few months now, but we've known each other for like 3 years already. lately she was feeling very lonely and sad (especially because were long distance, we get to see each other once a month, usually) and she just told me that in the past few days she did 3 love spells on me and one binding spell. I dont know which spells they were, she didnt want to tell me. but honestly, I dont know what to think.

cause yeah, it's cute that she loves me so much etc but... I cant help but feel weird about it anyway. I feel forced if you know what I mean, and 4 spells in a couple of days is CRAZY. thats right, our contact was a bit worse recently, but I just dont understand why she didnt talk to me instead of doing all of this. I have no idea what I should do right now, I don't know if they'll work because I had a feeling about this and did a protection spell just in case literally the same night she was doing the first 3 spells, but i still feel disrespected in some way. what should I do about it?

I don't know much about wicca in the way of details. All I know is that there are two gods, 5 elements, a focus on the year and cycles, witchs will usually have a personal alter that I don't quite know how it works, and they also have a "book of shadows" which as i understand is a personal notebook where you experiment and write down how to do different spells, and then of course there's spells, which aren't like turning stuff into frogs or whatever, but rather spells to try and bring about good outcomes in life.

Is most of what ive said here correct? And do you have anything to add for writing wicca and wiccans?

Wow! Such a great read. Lots of history. For those seeking the history of our religion, it is really interesting. It's not the sensationalist confirmation of Murrayite theories about the 'witch cult'. Rather it is a very sober look at all of the people who influenced the formation of our religion in the early to mid 20th century. One figure does stand out, though. Ernie Mason. He claimed to be a witch of the 'White Order', and anecdotal evidence shows him as an adept of extraordinary ability. Make of that what you will. A thoroughly good read. Totally recommend it.

i know very little about magick to preface this, but yesterday my sister was driving on the highway with me in the passenger seat and the car in front of her in the left lane hit a mourning dove that was trying to fly across the lanes. the dove's corpse then proceeded to smack into my sisters windshield and we were stunned. now today i went outside in the backyard and there was a dead mourning dove right by the door. i don't even know what to make of this or if i should make anything of it at all but pls help.

How could I dispose old photos with me and my ex in it? I don’t want to hurt me or him ( we broke up on good terms) but i want to know a safe way to do it ( idk if i should do a protection spell before or something along those lines)
