Discussion Smokeless Cleansing Techniques

135 Upvotes

No smoke? No problem.

Cleansing doesn’t require incense or sage, and if you’re in the broom closet or have pets or asthma, or just have a sensitive smoke detector, you have way more options than you might think.

Sound: bells, singing bowls, clapping, drums, even putting on a specific playlist with intention. Sound moves stagnant energy out of a space in a way that’s genuinely hard to explain until you’ve felt it. This is usually my go to when people ask about smokeless cleansing and I personally use bells in my own practice.

Salt: one of the oldest cleansing methods we have and it goes hard. Bowls in corners to absorb, lines across thresholds, dissolved in water as a spray. Incredibly versatile.

Sunlight or moonlight: put your objects, crystals, or honestly just yourself in the light with intention and let it do its thing.

Breath: slow, deliberate breathing over an object or through a space. Completely invisible, zero supplies needed, and more powerful than people give it credit for.

Visualization: picture light or wind or water moving through your space and sweeping it clean. No props, no evidence, nobody’s business but yours.

Besoms/brooms: sweep from the back of the space toward the front door, pushing energy out as you go. To literally everyone else in your house, you are just sweeping. This pairs well with salt cleansing, can’t leave it all over the floor after all! This is the broom closet special and I love it for that.

Florida Water or herb infused water in a spray bottle: spritz your space, your linens, yourself. Looks exactly like air freshener. Nobody is asking questions.

Fresh air: open a window with intention. Simple, efree, and it works.

It’s good to remember that the smoke is a delivery method, not the magic. Use what you have, use what’s safe, and trust that it counts.

Spells Candle spell posts - safety first

53 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

We need to address a recent uptick in candle spell posts that do not demonstrate proper fire safety procedures.

As a beginner-focused community, safety is especially important here. Many newer practitioners are learning by watching what others post. When unsafe setups are shared depicting, unattended flames, candles too close to herbs or fabric, unstable holders, cluttered altars, etc.; it puts people at real risk.

Effective immediately:

All candle spell posts that do not clearly demonstrate proper fire safety will be removed.

This includes:

- Leaving candles unattended
- Burning near curtains, paper, herbs, fabrics, or other flammable materials
- Using unstable or inappropriate holders
- Performing spells in cluttered or unsafe environments
- Ignoring safety guidance offered by more experienced members

Please understand: this is not about aesthetics or gatekeeping. It’s about preventing house fires and injuries. Spiritual practice should never come at the expense of your physical safety.

If you’re posting candle work, make sure:

Your candle is in a stable, fire-safe holder
Flammable materials are kept well away from the flame.

The candle is supervised at all times
You are open to constructive safety feedback
Repeat or severe safety violations may result in further moderation action.

Let’s model responsible practice for our baby witches and keep this space safe for everyone. 🕯️✨

Photos First time making a Money Bowl with my partner! ✨

Post image
56 Upvotes

Today my partner and I made our first Money Bowl together. I’m so grateful for the fact he agreed to do this ritual together 💛 .

I looked up ingredients and references beforehand, but we set it up together to align our energy and intentions. Our intention is to bring financial abundance, growth, and smooth energy flow into our home and lives.

Here are the steps and ingredients we used:
- Played calm background music to set a peaceful atmosphere.
- Cleansed the bowl, ingredients, and our space with sound before starting. We used a golden colored sound bowl for this.
- Used a base of salt and brown rice to represent abundance (and to hold everything upright).
- Added some rolled Euro bills along with several scattered coins.
- Added whole cinnamon sticks around the bowl to speed up the magic and bring warmth and success.
- Placed crystals in and around the bowl, including Pyrite (for luck and wealth), Green Aventurine (for opportunity), Malachite (to attract new opportunities and luck) and Opalite (to clear blockages, enhance the visualization of our goals).
- Placed three candles. Green, yellow and white
- Positioned the Ace of Pentacles Tarot card right behind the bowl to act as an anchor to manifest receiving unexpected gifts, financial windfalls, and new opportunities

We’ll light the candles on the next full moon, and in the mean time continue to visualize energy, stability, and financial flow coming into our lives.

If you have any feedback or suggestions on the setup and ingredients we used, don’t hesitate to comment. Any insights are greatly appreciated! 🙏

Discussion Is there a contradiction between believing in reincarnation / believing our ancestors can see us?

12 Upvotes

I don’t know how to blend these two ideas together because they seem to contradict each other.

If reincarnation exists and past lives are a thing, then it would make sense that I wouldn’t be able to contact my dead grandfather, because he has been reincarnated into the body of a baby already.

Yet, I think I was able to contact my grandpa the other day. But where this gets messy is that someone I trust a lot definitely believes in the concept of past lives.

I don’t understand how these things can exist at the same time.

Like, do some people get reincarnated and other people stick around to guide their descendants and watch over them?

Question Is there a way to cleanse any negative energies around art of the root oils

Post image
4 Upvotes

Hello! I purchased spell oils from Art of the Root without knowing about the controversy behind the brand. If you don’t know the seller is white and sells voodoo/hoodoo based oils, which are obviously closed practices. I bought them because I am in school and wanted a cheaper alternative to moonlight and sage, which I can buy every now and then, but not as frequently as I’d be able to buy AOTR. I can’t return them as per their policy, but I take closed practices and initiation based spirituality and magic VERY seriously. The oils I bought aren’t (to my knowledge) part of a closed practice, and don’t reference any deity, but if the owner of the brand is sticking her nose where it doesn’t belong, that bad energy follows no matter what. Since I did save up for these I don’t want to throw them away, so is there any way to protect myself or cleanse them so I can still use them safely and respectfully? Thank you in advance- any input or advice is appreciated!!

Question Significance of Moths and Dragonflies not leaving one’s room despite attempts.

Are there any in the Witchy world? Left my window open for the dragonfly for days and went away for the weekend after it stayed in my room for a day and cane back to find it dead, (it was raining for a day or two so must have why it didnt leave but I returned and found it on the floor). The Southern Old Lady/Southern Moon/Granny moth came i to my room with another moth but one died after being in my room for few days, attempts ignored to leave as well. All within two weeks, October is spooky😅

The bee I hurt by mistake while sweeping the garden and kept in my room and then died, so now they all have a space in my room :’)

Question Egg Cleansing weird question

I tried doing an egg cleanse for the first time and the egg broke on my hands while rubbing it through my body when I was not squeezing it hard or anything. I was rubbing it on my back and i heard a “crack”. So I poured it out in my water. Is that a thing? Like did i do something wrong? These past fee days i feel my intuition spiking, telling me something bad is about to happen or i feel a lot of bad energy. I am not an expert but my body is rejecting something bad and is trying to warn me. I dont know how to read the signs in order to prevent it so if you have tips on that as well thanks.

As the tittle said how to banish him?? Idk how to and when I try to feel witchy stuff spell like spray, incense, it doesn't feel like he will be banished....

Question Meditating and privacy and whatever else

2 Upvotes

So like.... What if you're in a situation where there is no alter, you just have a few basic ingredients like white candles tea tree oil mugwort Himalayan salt and glass jars w corks and twins... And you in a room with other ppl on the other side of a wall.... So like not very private. Can I play music? A certain kind?

I'm basically asking is there a portable version of spell casting and doing things a bit on the fly? Lazy witchcraft. But like....a witch can't help it. I need protection STAT.

Edit: might be good to know I have ADHD, undiagnosed autistism possibly, bpd, bipolar 2 w schizo affective, addiction and court coming up. Also moving. Life's a shit show and has been my entire life. I just have to do something soon, I feel this in my gut.

Question best way to go about this

0 Upvotes

hi everyone i’ve been into learning about craft and practicing cleansings and small spells here & there. very surface level because im usually working and am sleeping if im not working

recently ive been feeling very low vibrational and have had lots of anxiety and just overall self doubt and insecurity. ive kinda been in a slump that i cant snap out of. i was wondering if there were any practices, teas, cleansings, i can do to release this energy? ive burned palo santo in my room and leave the door & my window open to get my bad energy out and any other energies ive picked up on. but it usually doesn’t last long for me personally

im also a fire sign and find that anything with fire usually works instantly but i just want some more guidance. am i doing something wrong/going about it the wrong way? do you guys have any tips?? (sorry if i sound ignorant or uneducated, as im still learning!)

Spells Manifesting a person I don't know into talking to me

3 Upvotes

I have a person I want to manifest into my life.

Alright so I've been eyeing him for maybe a month? Like I took notice of him a month ago in an Instagram story and thought he was cute but i didn't stalk him on insta or anything. I was at a social setting with many people today and he was with this big group. I don't know if he saw me but I saw him. I found his insta and i want to manifest him to send me a follow req and start a conversation with me. We have around 5-6 mutuals. He goes to a whole other school and there are genuinely no sources of similarities between our everyday schedules..

Discussion Period spell

2 Upvotes

Hey babes!

I know TikTok is not the best place to look for tips,advice or even spell recommendations to make but lately ive been seeing a lot about this Period spell. After finding out what that is I’m not going to lie, I kinda want to try it. But unlike the TikTok girlies I’m not going to do a Love spell cause that’s too intimate for me and I’m still a scaredy cat ( no shade tho) I want to try it with getting a job or like making my career life better. But like I said I have looked everywhere for tips and advice and everyone is saying something different. So here I am. Here are the following questions I have, it would mean the world to me if you could please help me.

1: would you recommend doing it? Especially for career or is it too dangerous?

2: what are the dangers?

3: I am someone who has heavy flow and need to change my pad every 1-3 hours. Do I write it on every pad that I carry with me or just one?

4: what do I do with the pad that is already full? Do I throw it in the trash can normally?

5: I saw someone say something about burying it but what if you don’t have somewhere to bury it ?

These are my questions for now. If I have any more questions, I hope it’s alright to ask. Thank you soo much in advance. It truly means the world!

Ritual Is cord cutting my only option?

0 Upvotes

I have been stuck in this feeling for a long time and have suspected it being something done to me still being in love with someone I haven’t spoken to in 6 years just isn’t me. I’ve been considering a cord cutting for a long time because we are both powerful practitioners and I wouldn’t be surprised if at some point she did some type of love or obsession jar/spell on me. We both loved each other very very much however things got very negative when COVID hit for both our mental health as individuals. I didn’t bring her happiness anymore and out of my own self hatred and my love for her I left thinking it was the right thing to do. I have since had a live in long term relationship(3 years), hook ups and situationships and yet my love respect and longing to be a good man for her and her family has done nothing but get stronger. I have almost entirely ignored it until march this year. Doesn’t matter if it’s a good or bad day, alone or surrounded, busy or bored it’s always been her. She’s since moved on entirely and is engaged to a guy who seems very very similar to me. Here’s the catch. I want to cut anything that has been performed for me to feel this way but do not want to cut any possibilities of reconciliation out (if that’s in the books). I’m a big believer in energy and fates and I just think there’s gotta be a reason we are still interlinked in some way especially since it’s been almost 7 years I’ve moved throughout the country and we’ve been no contact until she followed me last year and we still haven’t spoken she just watches my posts. Im just sick of not wanting anyone but her. Even in that long term relationship I was kinda ok and sometimes happy in small moments but I was entirely unfulfilled and just kept thinking and feeling damn is this it? Every time i do genuinely try to date but i feel no connection love or wanting for them. It’s been almost 7 years and i just want to be able to love someone or want to be a good man for someone that isn’t her if I don’t get to be with her. She’s moved on and happy I deserve to have that as well but do not want to cut anything chances I may have with her or her family in the future (even if that just means us being friends) my practice is normally protection wards water and candle workings never done a ritual like this so if there are other options similar or a way to go about doing this for my desired result please lmk.

Ps I’m not exactly a baby witch but this isn’t within my wheel house

I’m an atheistic witch, but I think spiritual rituals are a great way to connect with yourself and help your body and mind! Now I start each morning with a prayer, setting intentions, and sometimes doing a quick tarot reading for myself to set the right vibe for my day. I genuinely feel like it’s helping. I grew up in a different major religion (not going to say which because I’m not trying to hate on anything), but I did get a lot of trauma from it and I was nervous to step back into spiritual rituals. But doing this has made me feel better and more connected with the world and myself than anything I used to believe. It’s helping me heal. 💜🤞🏼

Edit to say my room also smells way better since I’m always using herbs and candles now. 😂

Question return to witchcraft + love spell advice please

0 Upvotes

1 so recently, I made a return to the craft after being sucked into the vortext of Christianity. The first thing I did was set up protections in my room, placed a spell on the bonnet i sleep in (spiderweb/dreamcatcher), made transmutation. I had dreams of shadow people sitting on my chest twice and feeling suffocated but those have stopped. I still wake up feeling anxious and like I'm lacking air in my lungs. I'm not sure if this is magical or mundane and is more tied to my waking up worried about being tardy to school. Need more protection or need to calm down?

2 among the spells I cast at the start, a fat loss and toning spell was among them. I visibly have not gained nor lost but I was at the doctor a few days ago and put on 7 kilos?? Also note I'm a growing boy and since casting the spell my flexibility and cardiovascular fitness have gone up with no actual working out at all. Did it backfire orr??

3 the other spell I cast was a love spell on this Aries rising Gemini sun boy I like. I'm a Libra sun Gemini rising. Of course, I know he's not the one but I wanted fun so I cast a spell on him in form of a witch's ladder with his full names spelled out and spoken plus his signature in the centre of the knot on the ladder written by him. I also did some candle work and invited/ asked Aphrodite, Eros and psyche for help as my incantation/ song while doing my ladder was to do with the heart, mind and flesh. Now I see Aphrodite would've been enough but I digress.

.. I asked lady Aphrodite to send me a dude who's actually what I need and would heal me as much as I would heal him (a saggitarius) and in my heart of hearts I knew I had to undo my spell on the Aries boy, but I asked her over pendulum and got a violent yes so I undid it. I couldn't undo the knots but I sang the incantations neutral and inverse lyric and undid the final binding I spoke into it then set it on fire. Next day he's texting me all through class and being all attractive. Any ideas?? He's a straight jehovas witness btw.

That's all. Forgive any typos I've made and any help is appreciated thank youuu.

Discussion You don’t have to do it all!

15 Upvotes

There’s a feeling when starting witchcraft that you should learn everything as soon as possible. TLDR; you don’t. Trying to learn everything too fast will turn it from a craft to a class.

There are so many avenues of magic, it can be very daunting to start. Start with the things that attracted you to witchcraft in the first place. For me it was spell work, for you it might be divination or astrology. Learn about where the power comes from in that craft, how to use it, ethics, and common mistakes/misconceptions.

Even if you don’t check your horoscope or know your planets, doesn’t mean you don’t acknowledge its power/existence. Just because you don’t know your IP address, doesn’t mean you aren’t using the internet.

Approach it with childlike wonder, not the academic discipline of a PHD student
