Spiritually, Is it really bad if I accidentally hurt myself and bleed after I do a small incantation spell?

I lit a candle and spoke into my water & flame with specific positive statements. I got up to grab an incent, and ! banged my knee on my bed in a way I never have. I finished my spell. I found out my knee was bleeding after getting blood on my hands at the end.
Please let me know if this is most likely a coincidence or not.

Weirdly enough the moment I decide to post this the clock at 11:11 (My spirit guides and I are in agreement that Angel numbers mean "good choice"). Also, if you can, please recommend trusted protection ward books/beginner do’s & dont’s books!

i’ve been feeling very weird lately, i’m getting random stomach aches but like weird ones and i’ve been feeling really tired.. i’ve got this ex who’s in a third party right now but i keep seeing , hearing his name EVERYWHERE all the time, the new guy at my job has the same name as him, today one of my friend was telling me a story about a guy that i had no idea about who he is and he had the same name as my ex, i asked this one guy for his snap (never saw him before) and when i looked at my phone i saw that AGAIN he had the same name as my ex, without mentioning all the time i see it on social media’s at the most random places or on tv because it’s an ad and it’s wtv company or guys name like it’s ALL THE TIME, EVERYWHERE but i don’t feel like he’s into witchcraft at all???…. i need y’all help please

I will try to keep this brief out of respect for you all. It's a bit of a long story....

. I lost my job a month ago, and I was heartbroken because I loved it but it is very niche (Custom framing) so not easy to find. I called a few art studios in my area and I got a lot of no/not hiring, and one place I spoke to 2 separate people who never told anyone (they said they would). A week before the full moon I started an abundance spell to bring me a career that I will enjoy and provide financial stability.I lit the candle every night up to and including the full moon. On the afternoon of the full moon, as I was about to go to the gym, something in my head screamed "Call! Call right now!" So I did. I got the boss on the phone and had an interview on Wednesday. He said he'd mull it over (small business, tight-nit group) and get back to me Monday.

So.... what can I do to help my chances? I've seen a few ideas but most of them aren't geared toward this step. I was considering a poppet but idk. I appreciate any help/advice!!!!

I'm new ish to witchcraft and I've heard mention of mermaids being real is that true?

So the reason I think this is because CERN is shutting down and mercury is in retrograde and we also had the strawberry moon and my period is days late and everything feels weird and off if anyone is experiencing similarly things or has any advice please tell me

OKAY for context I saw this video where this girl was like “you’re only 16 you can’t be a witch until you’re 18” on someone’s comment and I was so confused because I thought witchcraft and that was for everyone no matter their age? and idk if i’m missing something or what but if someone can like help me out to either understand what they mean or like say otherwise that’d be awesome sauce and thank yall!

Hi everyone,

This is a strange post for me to make, and honestly I'm not sure where else to ask this. I'm trying to keep an open mind, and I'd really appreciate hearing from people who have experience with Wicca or witchcraft.

I'm a 31 year old man, and I've started wondering whether I may have been cursed by someone I used to know.

Years ago, I went to school with a girl who had a pretty big crush on me. She told me I was her first crush and that I'd always be special to her. She asked me out, but I didn't feel the same way, so I turned her down. We stayed on good terms though and would chat every now and then over the years.

She identified as a Wiccan and was very interested in the occult and witchcraft. During one conversation, she jokingly told me that she'd put a curse on me so I'd never end up in a relationship with anyone except her. At the time I laughed and assumed she was kidding.

A few years later we caught up again. By then she had a boyfriend, and she asked how my love life was going. I mentioned I was still single and jokingly brought up the "curse." She laughed and said she had only been joking, and I believed her.

Fast forward to today. I'm now 31 and I've never had a girlfriend.

It's not that I've never met women or had romantic connections. I've had several situations where things started off really well. There would be chemistry, mutual interest, regular communication, even sexual intimacy, and it genuinely felt like things were heading towards a relationship. But every single time, as soon as I tried to make things more serious, everything would suddenly fall apart.

The reason I'm posting this now is because it's just happened again.

For the last three months I'd been talking to someone I genuinely thought I could build a future with. We talked every day, flirted, made several plans together, and everything seemed to be moving in a positive direction. Then, as soon as things started becoming more serious, she disappeared, ignored my messages, and blocked me on social media without any explanation or warning.

This is now the 7th woman I've developed genuine feelings for where things seemed to be progressing towards a relationship before suddenly ending in a way that felt completely out of the blue.

At this point I'm exhausted. I'm tired of short-lived connections, tired of flings, and tired of never being able to get beyond that stage. I just want to build a loving, committed relationship with someone, but after so many similar experiences I'm beginning to wonder if there's something more going on.

So I wanted to ask people who genuinely practise Wicca or have experience with witchcraft:

Does this sound like anything you've ever heard of? Is it possible that someone could have placed a curse like the one she described, even if she later claimed she was joking? Or does this simply sound like an unfortunate series of coincidences?

I'm genuinely looking for honest opinions rather than being told what I want to hear.

Thank you for reading.

Hi!! Since the strawberry moon is upon us I want to put out some water so it can absorb the energy of the moon but my back deck doesn’t get a lot of moonlight, does it completly matter? Or does it have to be directly under the moons gaze? Sorry I know this is super silly but I’m a beginner so any advice even unrelated is welcome!

this is a sort of political post 😅 but as the tittle says, I’m in search of any witches in the Clarksville area who are up to do a hex on chud the dud. HIT. ME. UP!

Hi everyone! I’m very new to witchcraft and still learning, so please be kind if I get any terminology wrong.
Long story short, I recently had a really painful situation with someone. We were emotionally involved for a long time, and although we cared about each other, things became really complicated. We went from something romantic to trying to be friends, with a lot of mixed signals and unresolved feelings. In the end, things fell apart, and I feel like he walked away without really understanding or feeling the impact of everything that happened.
Because of that, I’ve been wondering if there are any regret spells, simply something that helps someone genuinely reflect on their actions, realize what they lost, and regret the way they treated another person and get him back. If you’ve personally used a spell like that, I’d really love to hear about your experience. Did it work? How long did it take? Did it manifest in the way you expected, or differently?
I’m also looking for a very simple but effective protection spell for myself. Since I’m just starting out, I don’t have many witchcraft supplies mostly just basic household items like candles, herbs, salt, and things like that. If you have any beginner friendly protection spells or rituals that actually worked for you, I’d really appreciate the help!

This is just a conversation starter I wanted to know others thoughts!
I see a lot on content online about the fact that sex is a “sacred act” of sharing energy which I do believe 100%.
At some degree, I feel this demonizes sex and celebrates celibacy. While I do agree celibacy can be great and beneficial the concept of “saving it for someone special” ties a lot into religious and cultural programming.

As a woman I’m conflicted, i am putting a lot of energy in my consciousness through self care and energy work but this ideology creates a sense of shame. On the other hand exploring sexually can be very healing and necessary for understanding oneself and desires.

I could be working to deconstruct my own religious programming and want to know what others think about this topic!!

So there's two parts to this. I'll try and keep it simple. My mom moved in to one of those senior buildings, and I moved in to help her. We're moving out. If it has to be a tent in the woods, I'm done. Seniors aren't like what they used to be when my grandmother moved in to the building way back in the 80s. They're childish, weed smoking lowlifes and I have no empathy for them. They've already kicked out 2 perverts who should never have been in here. Now they've got about 4 people left who need to have their own room in padded cells. One is a big mouth pervert and the other is a tall woman who thinks she's all mouth.

Not gonna lie, I want both of them holding signs and a cup on the highway. I'm doing everything I can to get them evicted but the company is garbage. So I'm resorting to this magick, voodoo, or other form of hex, and 1) No, I don't need a lecture nor do I care about repercussions. Nothing can get worse in my life. 2) When I'm done, I want to completely clear the space of the residual (and yes I'm going to use sage and no I don't care who doesn't like it).

I would appreciate the absolute worst thing that I can do to these people. If it's not your thing, don't lecture me just scroll on. Anyone that could help, I'd appreciate it.
