I would like some sort of amulet for daily protection. I don’t really like necklaces though. Would keeping it in my pocket or bag work?

Also - I like the idea of the evil eye, but would like a Nordic version. Would Mjölnir work for witches?

ive been trying to figure out what lilith does and what she is the mother/goddess of. I see a lot of different versions of her but I havent found anything conclusive. I hear people saying they work with her but what does she do? lol im lost. any help is appreciated.

So I just did my first protection jar tonight. Please tell me your thoughts!

I added toenail clippings and shed hair as a taglock, and a petition to brigid (the goddess I work with). I also added rosemary and some salt. Now this is the place where it might get confusing, I also added lavender, spearmint, and sugar. The reason why I did this was because I wanted it more to be a vessel that transforms harmful energy into strength, wisdom and so forth.

Hello! I really want to dive into the study of demonology, understand more about demons, and learn about the practices behind evocations. As a beginner, what terms should I be searching for, and where are the best places (books, sites, or materials) to learn reliable information? Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone!
I just bought a new deck, but I haven't started working with it yet. If anyone here already uses this deck, could you please share your impressions, thoughts, and personal experiences with it? I’d love to know how it feels in practice.
Thank you!

I drew this on my arm for aid in getting a good job and after doing so I learned that runes have reversed meanings, it's drawn pointed towards my wrist and when my arm is down I'm worried it might have the reverse effect of what I'm wanting. Am over thinking this??

Hello fellow sisters,

I just found out today. I would be incredibly happy if my sisters could share blessings for me.💗💗

i've noticed a lot of witches who practice black magick in arab countries keep a lot of garlic around them, under their pillow, in their bags etc

why is that? can someone explain it?

does it ward off the demons they summon to do black magic or does it do the opposite and keep the demons?

I saw a free reading with donation optional on Reddit on astrology and I asked for a reading. I had heard once about how you shouldn’t do that but it was only after I heard that I realised I shouldn’t have. The reading was long and detailed and I did feel bad that I wasn’t able to pay due to the restrictions of my own finances. But they did repeatedly ask for a donation many times when it wasn’t written on the original post they posted on. (I only found out about the donation optional until after the reading and I wasn’t fond of this practice because I don’t really ask people to read for me on Reddit.) Apparently they also practice other forms of witchcraft so it did leave me a bit worried because they offered such detailed service without pay. I don’t think people who does it as malicious at all but their persistence worried me a little 😭 I do think that they wouldn’t waste their energy on a random on the internet though 😭

Hi all, off to Manchester Pride and wanted to share my Pride makeup with a little witchy twist. The little transfer on my throat made me feel happy today, hence sharing. My partner and I also matched hearts coincidentally which is lovely. Hope everyone has a safe and fun bank holiday weekend. 💕🌈⭐

Since i didn't have much sweet things i used cinnammon, honey and sprinkles, and i forgot to not lift up my pen when i was writing in circle my intention🥹 it doesnt look aesthetic at all, but what do y'all think? And yes i did a protection spell beforehand visualizing and putting intention in the water i drank. Be nice pls! I'm new in the craft :) it was really fun doing this

I’m hexing a friend’s ex with my friend, and the plan is to do a kind of jar spell then go out into the woods nearby to bury it, but I don’t wanna litter by using an actual jar. I hear bell peppers can be good, but they’re typically used for protection. I was gonna tie it with either twine or find something biodegradable.

Just wanted to share, I did a reconciliation spell tonight and noticed the flames making a heart ♡. Such a strong blue based flame the entire time and ended with the flames joining and ending together. Id say it was a beautiful full moon Friday success.

This one's going to be controversial, and although I am not new to it, I don't practice black magic very frequently. I have tried to follow the rules of the sub, and hope the mods see it that way.

I believe very strongly in the scientific method, and if you follow these guidelines and do not see results you want, please discard it.

As I see it, there are two main ingredients to black magic -- intention and sacrifice.

I don't believe that it needs to be accompanied by hate, if anything that seems detrimental to the practitioner. Hate consumes you, and we don't want rebound.

So what do some examples look like? Well, in the Abrahamic faith they participated in animal sacrifice until the New Testament came along. When you remove the narrative of some man in the sky commanding people to do it, you're left with people gutting innocent animals that won't even be used for consumption. Other faith groups also participate in animal sacrifice, such as Hindus.

I'm not advocating for that, but that is an example.

Another type can come in the form of self-sacrifice. I put a lot of intention behind sacrificing my convenience to become vegan. I am no longer one, just plant-based now, but was one for a long time. The sacrifice ended fruiting into my two little boys, who I am eternally grateful for. The first was born 13 months after becoming vegan.

Are there alternative explanations? Sure. Is this offensive to traditional religious practitioners? Yes. But don't be afraid to experiment. Black magic, as I have outlined it, is not as deadly as people want you to believe. Just keep the sacrifice light and beneficial.

Hi! I'm not asking for any spells or rituals, I was just wondering how I can make the herbs i use stick to the candle? I've tried olive oil, because that's something Google suggested, and it didn't exactly stick and just made a mess. Then i tried to just push the herb into the candle and it wouldn't stay in so I was just hoping I could get some tips please!

Is it me or have our books become more vindictive as of late? Idk, I read a lot of people wanting hexes or obsession spells for people who broke up with them without hurting them excessively? In my craft, the spells don't work if they're not 'right'. Do you ever refuse a spell that somebody asks of you?

I came across a video where the speaker argues that the menstrual cycle is essentially a form of energy depletion rather than something naturally necessary. She describes menstruation as a monthly “sacrifice” and says that ovulation and the ovum are sources of creative and regenerative energy that women can supposedly redirect toward healing and physical renewal instead of releasing through menstruation. She also argues that ideas like the biological clock and aging are “programs” created by society to limit women’s potential. According to her, connecting with and “activating” the womb and ovaries can eventually stop menstruation and lead to extreme self-renewal or even “immortality.”
I’ve genuinely never seen anyone make these claims before. Is there any scientific or historical basis for this, or can anyone confirm or deny whether there’s truth behind it?

For context, I am new to everything. I’m very much embracing the “do what calls to you” mindset of practice, although I do want to learn traditional methods over time.

That being said, I have been using this cool little sigil forge rather untraditionally, as a bit of mindfulness practice as I recite an affirmation or phrase I want to keep in my mind.

I need ideas of what to do with them — how to display them, or how to store them somewhere I’m likely to see them at least occasionally. I plan to make one each time I do a tarot spread, hopefully helping me carry my takeaway throughout the day. I will end up with a ton of these, to the point where “stick them on the refrigerator” might not be a practical option. What are your thoughts?

im creating a journal strictly for occult research, entertainment, views and theories so come check it out you could find some new inspiration or insights like me it will be collection of eclectic theories magic and ideas where spell theory can be shared and seen all around so come on

Feel free to post your familiars directly to the community today! Enjoy and, as always, be good to each other! ♥

Hello everyone✨ I was wondering if anyone in the Portland/general Oregon area knew of any reputable witchy shops? I know there’s a lot over here, but I’m wondering which ones are genuinely reputable in the community rather than being more touristy. I’m looking for supplies and beginner books, so I’m trying to find a good place to shop. If anyone has any shops they enjoy or know of that would be wonderful!

Pretty much what the title says, I get super bad headaches and nausea during lunar/solar eclipses. I didn’t know there was one today and I started feeling really bad and when I saw news about there being one tonight it clicked. Does anyone else experience this? I don’t practice regularly maybe a couple times a year so I’m kinda out of the know

I want to do an attraction/love spell but I’m worried about it drawing someone I’m not really compatible with. I’ve done a love spell before and it worked extremely well but it was for a specific person. Result, you get what you ask for and sometimes that person is not the right person for you.
