r/magick

So i don't wanna go into details but there are a few person that keeps bothering me a lot. Not in a "i don't like them way" but in a "they are abusive and i have no way to deal with them so magic is my last chance" way. I know hexes and baneful magic are dangerous so i wanted to ask for a rather safe way of doing it (aside from protection). Is there anyway of asking for justice or take some actions? I've read about energy vampires in a book and thought that might be an option though i still don't know how to do it and would be really thankful if someone could come up with a better idea.

(Also it would be great if it could include a wider range)

1. I have a small bedroom and live at home still so my ritual space is a little bit Freeform. To create a “magical space” currently my routine is to light 6 tea light candles, place them in the shape of a large hexagram (probably 3.5/4ft across) and I sit inside of the hexagram before doing my LBRP and so on.(reasoning for this is aligning myself as the pentagram with the energy of the universe, or the hexagram)
   2) During the LBRP-instead of using the banishing of earth at all four corners- I have been using the individual elemental banishing pentagrams and the corresponding direction. Is there any negative to preforming the LBRP this way?

Thanks for reading🖤

For context, over the past month or two, visions of snakes keep popping up. While I meditate or direct my energy, I keep getting images of snakes in my mind, or physically feel one on my body. At first it was distracting but ever since it started it felt like my spells have been far more potent. They even started popping up in the real life. There was one near my car the other day, and one at a renfaire a few weeks back that didn’t stop looking at me

I’m wondering if this could be some sort of guide or deity? I’ve always loved snakes but they have never invaded my mind like this before.

I’m dealing with a very complicated situation, three months ago, my boyfriend-whom I've been with for four years, lived with for two years, and even supported financially for a year-told me he didn't know how he felt about me anymore (obviously once he got a job) and that he wanted to take a break. This hurt me a lot because we're still living together and have to see him every day, since l still have feelings for him. I know that i had bad attitudes too and i try to understand him.
Which pisses me off is this friend who was a friend of him and also of mine, when this all happened she distanced herself from me and stopped talking to me without telling me. At the same time, she's become really close to him, and now they spend all their time together-she only hangs out with him and invites him over to her house all the time.
I hate to see them together and i kinda feel guilty for wanting to do this but at the same time they don’t care how i’m feeling now
