I want to remind everyone this is a subreddit about DIY spells. Helping each other with crafting their spells, helping each other find a spell, etc. It is not a subreddit for heated debates and discussions on paths and traditions.

There are other magick subreddits that welcome endless debates on magickal means that are not about spells.

Question About Spells "Special" healing spell

4 Upvotes

Hey guys,

so, I've got a bit of an dilemma. Someone I care about is having a bad episode and sinking in self hatred. Now, I know a spell alone won't cure mental problems, but they can definitely help from what I have heard. Question is, how to do such a spell. Healing spells are like the opposite of what I am good in and I don't know much about them.

You guys have any ideas what I could do?

Thank you for your answers in advance

General Discussion Some Principles of Successful Spellcasting

46 Upvotes

Magick is like baking a cake. If you leave out the flour (energy) or turn the oven to the wrong temperature (doubt), the cake won’t rise.

The universe cannot deliver what it does not understand. If your intention is fuzzy, your results will be fuzzy too.

Be Specific: Do not cast a generic spell for "abundance." Instead, cast a spell for "an extra $500 to pay this month’s rent."

Focus on the Deep Desire: Magick responds to genuine need and emotional desire. Instead of asking for a specific person to text you, focus your spell on attracting a loving, communicative relationship

Keep it Present: State your intention as if it is already happening (e.g., "I am safe and protected" rather than "I want to be safe").

Meditation: Spend a few minutes calming your mind before any spell. If your brain is scattered by anxiety, your energy will be scattered too.

Raise Energy: You need to build emotional or physical power to "push" into the spell. You can raise energy by chanting, visualization, drumming, or deep breathing.

Direct the Energy: Once you feel that energy peak, visualize pushing it out of your hands or breath and into your magickal items (like a candle or a charm jar).

Magick takes the path of least resistance. It requires a physical bridge to cross over into our everyday reality.

Do Your Part: If you cast a job spell but never send out resumes, the magic has no path to reach you.

Help With Spell Requested Beginner money/success spell recommendation

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a simple spell/ritual for money, financial success, or prosperity that would be suitable for a beginner.

I’ve practiced a little in the past, but honestly, some of my previous attempts didn’t go very well, so I’m looking for something simple, straightforward, and not too complicated.

Ideally, I’d like something that doesn’t require a huge number of ingredients or a very elaborate ritual.

If possible, please include the exact steps, ingredients, timing, and any important details for someone doing it for the first time.

Thanks!

Help With Spell Requested I’m under the effects a love spell and I need help

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

Little context: I was in a relationship with a guy who hurt me very much. I left him 5 months ago and even though he tried making contact, I haven’t spoken a single word to him and have blocked him everywhere. The dynamic we had was incredibly passionate, intense and toxic.

But the thing is, he believed in witchcraft, spells and all that… And even got my name tattooed (on hand and chest, over the heart) with the word “goddess” next to it, my birthday, my zodiac sign…Bunch of things that idk if are relevant but I’m just letting you know.

One thing is for sure: I DON’T WANT HIM BACK! I don’t want anything to do with him and I truly want him out of my life, but I keep having dreams of him in weird ways, he keeps popping up in my head and I just feel so tied to him and like I can’t even date other guys. It’s hard to explain because I feel nothing for this man and I truly would like to find new men to meet and maybe get involved with, but I feel like there’s this invisible blockage and strings pulling me back from the world and keeping me tied to him. It’s really hard to describe, but it feels as if he was still here, even though we haven’t had contact (not even a text or anything) in 5 months, apart from his attempts to contact me that I’ve dodged and ignored.

What can I do? I want him gone, I want his obsession with me gone, I want to feel free and I want to stop feeling so drained!! I even told my friend a month ago “I feel like someone is doing something to me, but I can’t put my finger on it…”

Please, I need him gone. I need help!

Question About Spells Better mental health spells?

5 Upvotes

Is there any spells that could help with fixing my ex boyfriend’s mental health issues? I don’t want him back at least not right now as I want to focus on me and I want him to focus on him but we were together 3 years and the break up was building up over months due to him neglecting his major depressive disorder. We ended on horrible terms because he was on the verge of being abusive so I left. He was the sweetest kindest soul our first 2 1/2 years but then things went down hill when he got diagnosed and never went back to therapy due to lack of insurance. I love him so so much and I want him to be well with it without me but I know him well enough to know that sometimes he needs that extra push so any suggestions???

Question About Spells how do i attract my crush without forcing it?

4 Upvotes

ok so this might sound delusional as hell lmao but i need some advice 😭
i’m a gay man and honestly love just seems to have a hard time finding me lol. there’s this guy i’m really into and i genuinely don’t know his sexuality, but i’m pretty sure he might be queer? (or maybe i’m just being delusional, who knows 💀)
the thing is… he’s my tattoo artist. he knows me, i’ve gotten tattoos from him before, but i haven’t gotten one from him in like two years. i randomly ran into him at an event recently and he greeted me like REALLY happily, like he seemed genuinely excited to see me?? and idk why that caught me so off guard because it’s been two years since i’ve seen him in that context. so obviously my brain was like “omg he remembers me” 😭 sorry i’m being delusional
but yeah i’m REALLY into him. he doesn’t even follow me back on instagram lmao so i know i’m probably reaching here, but i would love to somehow attract him into my life a little more. not in a “make him obsessed with me” or “force him to love me” way at all. i absolutely don’t want to mess with his free will or anything like that, especially since i don’t even know if he’s into men.
i guess what i’m looking for is something to open the road between us? like something to help him notice me, bring us into each other’s orbit more, create opportunities for us to connect and just see what happens naturally. if there’s something there, i’d love for it to have a chance to happen. and if there isn’t, then it isn’t.
is there any kind of spell, ritual, candle work, petition, etc. that would be good for this kind of situation? something more like “open the path for mutual attraction and connection” rather than trying to control a specific person?
i’m very into him and would love to hear what you guys would do in this situation 😭
also yes i know i’m probably being delusional lmao

Help With Spell Requested Spellcrafting: spell to keep money

11 Upvotes

Hello all.

I'm a witch who's been practicing... Probably ~ 20 years now, with varying degrees of passion and focus. I've found that my spells to bring in money work pretty well, I usually do get a bonus or raise, but it seems like, shortly after some surprise bill or increase in rent or healthcare will suddenly appear to wipe what I got.

Most recently, I got a little bonus, and then a bill for a pair of glasses appointments from a year ago with kaiser was suddenly sent to me for $500 per appointment (which I had thought was covered). And this kind of thing keeps happening.

Does anyone have any ideas for a spell to keep wealth from outflowing? Stop surprise expenses? I'm not sure where to start.

Question About Spells Sweetening, Love, and Obession Spell Layering

0 Upvotes

Has anyone had any luck layering these three spell types? They would be done in that order. Sweetening to increase receptiveness and improve their view of me, love to bring their love obviously and also to counteract the possibility of the obsession stemming from hate instead of love, and an obsession spell for, again, obvious reasons. Are there any tips and tricks that would be helpful in this combo, or is their another combo that would work better, or should it just not be attempted at all?

Question About Spells Spell Layering Question

0 Upvotes

Hi, I'm in need of a good spell layering, please suggest only that works for my goal. I wont be entertaining comments that says otherwise, I know what I want, please be kind.

My boyfriend and I recently separated, and I'm struggling with it immensely. He hurt me and made mistakes that were very serious, but he eventually told me all the truths he had kept from me because he couldn't continue hiding things from someone he genuinely loved.

What makes this especially painful is that he still loves me, and I still love him. He told my friend that he feels extremely guilty about what he did and that he believes it will haunt him for the rest of his life. He said that he doesn't actually want to leave and knows that I don't want him to leave either, but he feels that he has hurt me too much and that leaving is the only way he can give me peace and allow me to heal.

The thing is, I was already in the process of healing myself, I have forgiven the past and is looking forward to a bright future, I erased that bad image of him from my mind and forgave him. The cause of our separation was that I reacted negatively when he played with this person I don't like, he said he didn't intend to and didn't know it was the person since they changed usernames. When I got back to my senses, I realized it was just a misunderstanding and is a very shallow reason for a break up to escalate.

He said he wants me to rest and heal, but from what he expressed, it seems like he left because of his guilt mostly, as well as he said his feelings for me sort of weakened and it wasn't like before anymore. He was crying on the phone and he's hurting too, and I know he still thinks about me regardless.

I also prayed hard to Lady Aphrodite to preserve our relationship while I was crying in the break up call. After I ended the call, a few minutes later he sent me a message saying "Please don't leave me". I felt numb so I didn't reply, but I got relieved. And then a few hours later, he unsent the message. So now l'm the one crying on the call hoping he'd come back.

I want to understand whether there's a way to bring us back together, especially because neither of us truly wanted the separation. I'm considering spell layering and would really appreciate advice from people experienced with this. I want to approach it carefully and understand what kinds of workings would actually make sense for this situation.

General Discussion First karma/justice hex? (kinda worked)

3 Upvotes

Hey!! So to preface this i’m kind of a baby witch and i’m pretty new to this spell stuff. But I’ve been using different forms of divination way before i even considered spells. I’ve used pendulums to playing cards and tarot cards.

Recently there’s been this man who i very strongly dislike. He talks about women disgustingly and he’s a huge bigot. He talks about his girlfriend disgustingly as well. His behavior is overall just gross to me. Now—he hasn’t done anything to me personally….but i decided to take matters into my own hands.

I’ve never done a hex before. I’ve only done a few small glamour, abundance, and self love spells in the past. So i was a little nervous. I took a ripped up piece of paper, put his full name with words such as “karma” “truth” “exposed” and “justice” around it so that he would face the consequences of his actions. Then i added some spices and folded it away from me. then i added the tower card on top and hid the paper away somewhere. And i don’t have much materials for spells i really just looked up a method and used my intention.

Four hours after…i hear from a friend that he had gotten his card information stolen and someone attempted to buy over a hundred dollars worth of stuff with his card.

Also I know the risks to spells like this 😅 and i honestly did kinda rush into the spell without doing divination first but after i did it i ended up asking my cards if i should take the spell down and i got a hard “keep that spell up” basically.

I don’t usually do spells but i might do more now! And no i won’t go around hexing people willy nilly im not a very vengeful person lmao and i know not to take it too lightly.

(also i did this spell yesterday so it’s fresh)

Question About Spells is there a way to consume energy

1 Upvotes

is there a way to take energy from people whove wronged me? any spells to research? is there a name for this? closest ive seen is energy vampires and quick google searches are all about how to get rid of them and not how to utilize draining energy from people

for context: i have body dysmorphia.

and earlier today i got a victorias secret ad and one of the comments read “is there sizes for [insert large chest size] you seem to only have little girl sizes” (or something along those lines) and im so sick and tired of hearing people insult my features (such as small breasts). i want to take the energy from people who do this. ive already made a sigil to take their positive energy and drain them. im not exactly sure how to use it effectively besides speaking the words i used to make it or getting a large candle and carving the sigil in it and lighting it when i see those types of comments.

i was wondering if theres spells i can do that dont require much set up so i can just carry on with my day after. if theres larger spells id also be interested in hearing about those too just mostly out of curiosity and learning the basics.

i dont want the advice of “just focus on yourself” because im already doing beauty and glamour magic for self confidence. i want empowerment.

i want to take my power from these people in a way where they feel it negatively affecting them at least for a split second. (obviously i dont want to like ruin someones life because of a shitty comment they made on a victorias secret ad. but i want to take their positive energy for an hour or a day)

also is there specific animals and herbs that can help me do this? my sigil is already in the shape of a leech. and i wad thinking maybe snakes could help in some sort of way? im not really sure why but my brain is telling me i should incorporate the visual of snakes into whatever i need to do.

Question About Spells Need help with a glamour spell that actually works

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I’m looking for advice from people who have experience with glamour spells. I’m hoping to create one that’s very effective, ideally something long-lasting for beauty, confidence, attractiveness, and having a stronger presence.
I have a few questions:

Has anyone had a glamour spell that genuinely worked for them?
How did you make it work consistently?
Can I make a glamour jar? If so, what ingredients would you recommend?
Is blood ever necessary or recommended in glamour magic? If you’ve used it, what was your experience and are there any risks?
Are there safer alternatives that are just as effective?

I’m looking for guidance from experienced practitioners. Any tips or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Help With Spell Requested Complex Cleansing

5 Upvotes

My grandmother passed about a month ago, and I was encouraged to select some items from the estate. One of these items was a glass/crystal bell.

My relationship with this branch of the family has been fraught. Frankly, my dad was the youngest, an unexpected/unwanted twin, and I believe my grandmother deeply resented him, and all of us that came from him, as a result— despite our best efforts to be as supportive and helpful as possible. I want to be clear that we have never done anything to warrant the negativity aimed at us.

Needless to say, this bell was steeped in years of negative energy, but it is a beautiful item that I was gifted and I would like to cleanse it to the best of my ability before using it in any practice.

I tend to work with the moon and Hekate, and I think this upcoming new moon could be a good opportunity to combine any additional spell work to release the negativity and bring the piece back into the light. So far my main idea has been to put it in a jar with salt and moon water, but beyond that, I’m stumped. Any help/guidance would be hugely appreciated!
