Hi everyone! I have a question regarding spell oils. I just purchased one from a practitioner I really like and have purchased other oils from before. However, one specific oil I bought unfortunately I'm really not meshing with its energy. I don't plan to use it further, and don't have anyone to give it to. Is there a way to respectfully dispose of it? Or anything else you would recommend? Thank you xx

My mom believes in Christ. her life has always been hectic and unlucky. I learned about tarot 2 years ago. started magick a year ago. I’ve faced a lot of trial and error. she claims my magick is making her life worse, how Christ is the only one to believe in, and claims my magick is ruining her life. yet, she’ll ask me to perform freezer spells for her terrible boss. I’ve only performed spells centered around me, along with freezing toxic people at work or enemies in general-not her. She claims she’s a “filter” for all the evil eye sent my way doing magick. she says my “bay leaves and candles” won’t do shit, then asks me to use my “powers” to help her. How do I rejuvenate after being so drained and frustrated in this dynamic? I can’t move out right now.

Hi, I'm an Italian baby witch, so please forgive me for my grammar.
I'm babysitting a child with autism at his house, and since this morning I've been hearing noises. At first I ignored them, even though he kept telling me that somebody was there. So I just pretended to check the house to tell him that nobody was there
The strange thing is that I felt a weird energy, not a negative or a positive one, it was just weird. Anyway, later I decided to give him a bath on the second floor, and as I walked into his room to get clothes, I felt this energy even more, I don't know how to explain it. And as I turned around, behind the curtain it looked like there was a person. The curtain isn't thin, so it's not like I saw someone, but the shape was weird and there were no shadows.
This kid talks a lot and doesn't like silence, so if he isn't talking, he's making noise. But when I walked into the bathroom where he was bathing, it was as if he had been muted. So I said, “Are you playing with the duck?” and he replied, “This is not your voice.” This is where I got scared, so I said, “Yes it is, it's the same,” and he said, “But it's not yours.” Then he started listing things about my appearance, like, “This is your piercing, this is your bracelet...” like he was checking that everything was there.
The reason I'm writing here is that I don't really know if I can do some type of protection spell or something; I really don't know. I don't want to seek attention, I just really don't know what to do. Since i started practicing witchcraft these kind of things keep happening, just not this strongly and not as someone’s else house.

Hi guys! So I’m new to spells, and I’ve really been wanting to learn more about witchcraft, but I have no idea where to start. I had a friend in the past who used to teach me about tarot, crystals, and incense, but recently I’ve really been wanting to learn more about spell work. I promise it’s nothing meant to go against anyone, just stuff for myself, like wealth, protection, prosperity, etc.

Anyways, I’m open to any opinions or suggestions from anyone who’s just starting or has been doing it for a long time!!

Yesterday I did a communication spell and I know magic sometimes takes time but I feel really anxious and I’m scared it won’t work…
Does this affect the outcome of the spell?

I believe that a warlock, who I was involved in a traumatic push-pull manipulative and gaslighting situationship with, has put (or had it done by another person) some kind of binding, hex, curse, or spell that causes physical pain and seems to consistently renew an invisible, sticky film all over my body, head and face. It's like burning ropes or string criss crossing all over my body sometimes and sometimes it feels like my limbs and body are literally being twisted in different directions. It changes all the time. I can feel it moving on my skin and sometimes i can see it move or twitch. Sometimes when it's not as strong, i can peel parts of it off momentarily giving me relief in that small area. My arms feel bound and i am not able to move them much without extreme pain. I have been trying to break this work for months to no avail. In the beginning it was just the annoying film that i could feel moving on my scalp or face. But since May, when I began to try to fully extricate myself from him, the pain and the feeling of someone doing horrible things to a possible voodoo doll have really kicked in and most days I can barely take my dog out to go to the bathroom due to the pain. I can't get dressed, hold the leash, open heavy doors, use my hands, walk without pain, and/or even stand up straight many days of the week.

Can anyone give me advice on what I can do or whether there is a type of practitioner that might have a solution? Please.

I thank you in advance, everyone who has any idea what this could be and/or how to undo or end this particular hardship.

PS: I have blocked and try to have zero contact with this person, but we live in the same building, on the same floor.

I've got a few meditation tactics to try, but I would love to hear from witches about grounding techniques. I haven't seen it in the books I've read. Also, what other basics should I practice before anything else? I want to have a good foundation before I do anything beyond that :)

sooo wednesday before going to bed i talked to my spirit guides a little bit about the questions ive been having bout my spiritual path. i talked about deity work/worship, how i dont do it yet and have been wondering if i should, about my curiosity with ancestral work/worship and how i wanted to have a more clear vision and comunication to my guides and those who accompany me. in the end, right before sleeping, i asked to see them in my dreams or for a sign of what i should be doing. i asked for guidance.

i did dream, but not with anything that i was able to interpret. i have also been forgetting my dreams much more easily now.

but then yesterday night, when i got home, there was a spider on my altar. i have to say, i usually have spiders in my house, i consider them roomates, but they are always those tiny domestic spiders that stay in corners and bother no one. the one i saw yesterday was another species. i couldnt identify it because i ran away when i got close and i lost it, but it was bigger, black and very fast, not like the ones that live here. also, i have cleaned and refreshed my altar this week and my house was recently treated for pests.

so.. what do yall think? is it a sign or just a spider?

ps: i will look for the spider today again to se if it is venomous or any danger to me and alsooo study about spiders as symbolism. would appreciate opinions tho.

So I've never been the type to beg or look for someone I'm not gonna lie I've been a player i don't get attached easily at all and i was seeing an ex that i broke up with and he got me pregnant with just 2 times (i thinknhe baby trapped me because he always wanted to)within hookuping up i was threating to abort it then out of nowhere i because depressed stopped going out like i used to and people would talk to me fine guys‚ rich ones i used to talk to but i can't get my ex out of my head i even hooked up with other people but i can't get him out of my head every second and day i think about him I'm not the type to beg but i can't get him out of my head I've never felt like this even before when we dated i never felt this crazy about someone I've been seeing random bugs in my house having dreams about spiders and bugs attacking me‚ insomnia i did an egg clense and it had like stings/like a web type thing idk like if i was holding on to something i feel so strange and he's like not replying to me I've never been this crazy about someone legit I've talked to way better people( etc/piolet/hustlers) but this specific man(my ex) I'm drawn to him I'm devoted o don't get it why I'm just suddenly attached to him how or what can i do to find out for someone did brujeria on me

i need help I feel so tired and scared,i don’t know who but someone is casting spell on my face for ruining it and I don’t know what to do,i know nothing about witchcraft so pleas tell me what to do.
i think I’ve had this spell cast on my face for years, but I only really noticed it in the last few months because it’s getting much stronger,my face used to be oval with a V-shaped chin but suddenly it’s become round and shapeless and I have no fat in my face. I’m also pale and not to mention my horrible skin. A while back,I had random scratches on my face,and I often dream about looking in the mirror but my reflection is strange, it’s me, yet with different features.And when I dream about this, it eventually "comes true" meaning I actually turn into that strange reflection from the mirror in real life. I don't know who to ask, and I can't afford to pay anyone right now because i’m unemployed because I can’t do anything since witchcraft has been consuming me since I was little

Hi, I have a couple questions regarding the witch community. I've always been interested, but felt as an athiest that it wasn't for me. However I recently learned that you CAN be a witch and be athiestic- so here I am.

I've always been fascinated by witchcraft, even when I was a christian, and was wondering how to start out or what type of witch I would even be? I know that if I CAN choose (Idk if I can or not, I really know NOTHING), I would be a water or a sea witch. I've always been drawn to the ocean and lakes, pretty much any body of water. If I could, I would live in the sea. I feel like doing certain practices or rituals would make me feel closer to the water if that makes sense.

I would really like some tips from witches who have been involved to help me out! I've heard that witchcraft doesn't follow rules like a religion, so it could be up for interpretation, but I need some guidance. Thank you so much in advance to anyone who comments or messages me!

Some people are good at love spells but suck at money spells. Others are good at hexes but can't get career spells to work. Some people are great with divination and yet, can't get any spells to work.

I was always told it was because the caster has some deep seated belief that they are not worthy of XYZ, and casting for it won't dislodged it, you have to fix yourself first. What a long time to wait.

But I was also told that, if you just resonate at the correct frequency XYZ can't help but come.

And I was told about that it's days of the week, planetary alignment, time, etc. will make it come.

Or, if your into John Dee, magical thinking alone will ultimately make it come. Or if your into manifesting, magical thinking alone will make it come.

The most useful I ever found was to just forget the casting after it's done. Be unconcerned and it will come. Always work for me.

So that's it, why do things come for one but not for another? Why are we good at certain types of magic but not others? Why do you think this is? Not what answer someone presented you, what answer did you find?

I’m really looking into beginning my witchy journey. I had an awakening with certain dreams and just a feeling of needing to connect with nature and harness my energy. I’ve looked into getting my tarot deck and begin collecting crystals and doing witchy things to really amplify from that feeling. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated on where to begin and how to improve myself ✨🩶🧙🏼‍♀️🍄✨

I have cast a regret spell, a binding spell and another love spell on my last ex recently and ever since taking acid on Friday 7th it seems like I am being purposely targeted by flies, moths and spiders like there was literally a spider that just dropped onto the floor as soon as I opened my fridge after coming back from staying at my parents the night before. On Friday this fly specifically kept messing with me every time my trip took a happy turn until I stomped on it dead for disrespecting me in my own home like it i kid you not it would literally go and hide in the corners of the top of my wardrobe and then as soon as I would express happiness it would literally come flying DIRECTLY at me. Then earlier today dead sober in my parents house a swarm of flies came into the bathroom and their bedroom which has never really happened before and we just chalked it up to it being a hot day and the smell of roast chicken coming from the kitchen. I need to know what is going on or am I just going mad
