Ive often heard people describe the feeling of feeling incredibly physically drained after spending even small amounts of time with a particular person.

Ive heard this discussed when referring to phrases like "energy vampires" or even identifying negative attachments. Even non spiritual or extremely skeptical people describe this in other words.

I dont believe its something people do knowingly or on purpose and im wondering how I might be able to tell if I had this effect on people?

hi, i had a dream where i was being haunted and i was really shaken up by it. i’m really into spirituality and tbh im only starting now. i would like some advice on how to cleanse myself and my home from any negative energy/energy that is not at all welcome.

I have a candle I used for a money spell. Ive been in a hard place. I used salt, Basil, cinnamon and Rosemary. I used a pillar candle and it ist burning the edges, leaving a lot of wax. I usually use left over wax from normal candles to make a new candle so it doesn't go unused and just thrown away. Is it okay to use spell candle left over wax of should I discard it. Also, I used one of the thicker pillar candles, did I mess up doing it that way?

Hello, I'm not looking for a spell or anything, today I did a spell and used the smoke to contact my spirit team and read the smoke to help determine how to go forward with the ritual and what to add. Idk if this counts as scrying necessarily? But i want to know so I can find other methods because I will do this for yes/no questions aswell (which may be scrying or a method i pulled from my ass idk.) I want to find other methods because so much incense can get pricey 😔😔 psa i will not use white sage or palo santo

Hi very newbie I would like to buy my first book about witchcraft I read the wiki of this sub and baby witch and saw the book recommendations but they are very North America oriented.
Shouldn’t I read more local books so that the herbs for example are ones I can actually harvest ?
Also feel weird reading about folklore that comes from neighboring country written by people on the other side of the world if that makes sense.
Am I thinking too much ?

I’m from Belgium, any French or UK (as we have the same climate) book to recommend ? there is so much online I don’t know what info and authors to trust! I am really interested in plants and books that talk about the historical side of witchcraft too. I was interested in the book the green witch which is very recommended in this sub. Should I still buy it ?

Thank you

Hello 👋

So someone in one of my facebook groups brought up crystal grids and I thought I'd come here. I've been practicing since I was a teenager, but I've never had a teacher or anyone to learn with so I've got a lot of gaps in my witchy education, and this is one of those areas. Looking at pictures, I realize that I've seen other witches use them but had just never known what I was looking at. And I love crystals, so this is something I'm thinking of incorporating.

What are your guys's experiences with crystal grids?

How have you used them?

Any good book or website recommendations on learning about them and using them?

TIA 😊

What are your tips for a beginner I have bought good books tbh I plan on getting more but I’d just like to know how do you start your spells and end them and just anything about someone

I'm an intermediate witch, and I love helping baby witches and other leveled witches learn more. And I love sharing my own experiences, but I feel it's more useful to have sources and resources for stuff, so people can learn for themselves.

My issue is that I've read a bunch of books, blogs, and watched a bunch of videos and documentaries from 2010-2026(present) and I can't remember where I first read/ heard certain things.

QUESTION: When giving sources for things, do you guys just pick the one you like best that has that information in it? Or do you try and remember what thought group/movement each concept comes from?

I see a lot of the Internet spiraling into unsourced thought pieces being portrayed as facts, and I wish to no longer add to the problem hahah 😅

I made a self love jar and sealed it with wax but now I don’t know what to do with it. I’ve seen people say to keep it and others say to bury/give it back to the earth to activate the spell. What do I do

I create sigils based on visual symbolism, like protection id use a barrier (line) blocking negative energy (dots/arrows)

Using the hack of letter maps (idk how else to call it) to make them doesnt feel personal to me and like im copying someone elses stuff...

Id like yalls take on it :)

I've often used cannabis to help open up my creative flow and get into the right mindset for my practice, but I'm looking to shift away from using THC.

I'd love to find other herbs, teas, or natural blends that can help elevate my mood and support a similar state of mind but do not want to be always using marijuana to do so. Are there any specific herbs or teas you like to consume to help get into an open and clear headspace to practice?

Everytime I see someone that day she starts her period - any of y'all have a clue as to what this could mean in the spiritual sense?

We're both farmers, were very briefly romantically involved, our previous relationships ended at the same time under the same circumstances, but are now focusing on building a solid friendship before pursuing anything more romantically serious and intense in the off season. Karmic? Anything? Just a coincidence?
