Please share your energy if you are willing. I’m worn out. I’ve been in and out of the hospital and a skilled nursing facility for 2.5 months. I have severe heart issues and a broken ankle. I’m having another cardiac procedure tomorrow. Then I’ll go back to the skilled nursing facility and await a 2nd ankle surgery on the 27th.

I dream of walking. I want so much to experience life again. I ask the Universe for care and blessing. Blessings to all who are part of this coven.

Apologies for asking either side of Wednesday Wish and Sunday Spell but I just wanted to ask if anyone could spare some healing energy my way. I'm currently in horrendous pain with a bout of tonsillitis and cannot get to the doctor until tomorrow. No pain medication is touching it and I just need relief or distraction long enough to sleep. Anything would be much appreciated 💤

People born between Mabon and Samhain (September 20-23 to November 1) are believed to be influenced by the waning energies of Air and Water, which affect how they experience emotions and perceive the world. Interestingly, this period is associated with a particularly high number of talented actors. The explanation has to do with the waning influence of Water, which is connected to emotions. The idea is that when emotional energy is lacking internally, a person naturally looks for ways to experience more of it through the outside world. Acting can be one way to do that. By stepping into different characters and living through their stories, a person gets to experience emotions, situations, and even entire lives they might never encounter otherwise.

hello everyone, i am coming on her on behalf of my friend.

A few weeks ago we saw a tiktok about using a witch off of etsy and we blindly wanted to do it. She did a love and obbession spell on her boyfriend and it has became the worst thing for her. After a few day of placing the order for her spell she woke up in the middle of the night shocked and scared she explained to me that it was extremely vivid and she felt like she was awake the whole time. The dream was her boyfriend he was extremely obsessive and whenever she would try to leave he would turn into a big, tall, demon type figure and wouldn't allow her to leave. she hasn't been able to sleep the past few days and she has to sleep with the light on out of fear.

Please help us if you can

Saw a sunflower pic earlier and thought I'd also share some pics of flowers w/some cuties that visited me last summer (sadly it got too hot this year for our garden to do much so we didn't get to see em this summer)

TL;DR - Concerned I may have made myself sick with too many rituals yesterday. I would love feedback on my work and gentle support on how to move forward. I am providing a lot of detail - the specific "hangovers" after my spell-work are listed at the very bottom of the thread.

Hello elder witches -

Introducing myself, I'm in mid-life (I hope it's okay to post in here, it feels like the most 'safe' witch thread I've found on reddit) - and have been actively practicing for 8 years. A few years back I started consistently practicing candle magic with homemade oils I primed for my desires. Two years ago, I took a long break from this consistent practice for many reasons. I've been wanting to get back into it any way, reinvigorate my altar, etc, etc.

And, I've never done anything that would be considered in the realm of protection or baneful.

Now, sorry to be a cliche - but I am having...neighbor issues. 👀

It has come to my attention that if it is at all in my power to make it so, this guy has got to go.

Seven plus years of intentionally creating new building group chats and leaving me out of them without telling me (when I created one that would include everybody), to putting stuff in my window, to adding decor below my other window, and adding colorful lights near my windows when he knows they are a violation of my sensory disability needs. To sitting on my chair at my table with other neighbors and not getting me another chair when I arrived. To walking away when I enter a space or crossing the street when I approach.

I sent him two (non-harassing) texts over the years offering to speak and repair. I offered him a heart to heart. I let him know I cared about him and wanted to rectify whatever was going on.

We used to be friends. And all this time, while I didn't like how he was treating me, I gave him the benefit of the doubt - I silenced my voice with my neighbors because I did not want to come off as a crazy emotional woman or draw attention to myself. I never gossiped. I couldn't handle the drama and I don't like triangulation. Also all this time in my heart I was sending him well wishes because his behavior was odd and to me indicated some kind of mental illness. And I meant what I said - that I had cared about him.

But when he sprayed chemicals into my room a month ago, and spoke to me rudely about it when I confronted him (telling me to look at the spray bottle for myself on his stoop to know what its contents are), I finally asked him what's going on with our tension, and he told me he's upset about something I did so many years ago. I immediately apologized for that in a heartfelt way and felt shame because I had not intended to hurt him. When I asked him how we should move forward with communication, he told me to create a new group chat - and told me that *I made it this way.* He doesn't want to talk to me. He clearly wants to put sh*t in my windows and dominate the social dynamics and smile at me in public while doing it.

This is a building that once had a vibrant social circle and good humor an rapport! But many folks have moved so there are a lot of new dynamics, and there are few neighbors I trust to confide in about this. The one I tried to said he didn't want to get involved, and I cried so much I threw up.

Social exclusion and covert bullying are huge triggers for me.

After a few weeks of processing and research, I've done a few things over the last weeks -

1) A black banishment candle with GET OUT STAY OUT from a local witch shop

2) A blessing candle to refill my home with energy

3) Post-its on my bedroom mirrors (his apartment rests against my bedroom wall) that say things like "bad vibes bounce and banish," and "only love in, only love out," and "I reflect good vibes only"

4) In the mundane - I contacted building management about the tree and decor

5) In the mundane - I've subtly reached out to neighbors to get added back into the chat so I can stay in touch with people and stop feeling so bullied, I also texted in the dead chat to see if anybody is still participating so I can be clear on what's actually functioning for people, and simply address it directly like a healthy adult, lol.

Then I got serious about continued protection/banishment and also the things I want to manifest, as a part of my general altar re-awakening process.

So yesterday, in one day, I did the following things:

1) Charged a protective ward

2) Charged a blessing ward

3) Charged a money attraction ward

4) More than a few hours later I also prepared:

A. Uncrossing oil, for a 7 day bath ritual

B. Uncrossing herb and salt blend, for a 7 day bath ritual

C. Made hot foot powder that is charging now for when I feel up to it, during waning cycle, along with a second banishment candle

D. A "perimeter protect" powder to sprinkle about

5) I also executed a "Return to Sender" ritual last night that included writing everything down he's done to me by a lit candle, folding that into an envelope addressed to him, then burning a bay leaf and blowing on it to send back to him. I felt better after this! I now realized I misspelled his name, lol, but I'm going to correct that on the paper in the hot foot powder that I will burn into ashes.

HERE'S WHERE IT GETS WEIRDER POST-RITUAL AND I'D LOVE SUPPORT -

A. After the first banishment candle (10 days ago or so) was lit I woke up in the middle of the night from a horrible nightmare that he was IN my apartment in a very aggressive and scary way, it was so real and not a normal dream at all

B. After the magick I did yesterday, I woke up very sick - difficult to eat, runny tummy, etc. I've been in bed most of the day and started the day crying and writhing in pain. Feeling *a bit* better now. (This could also be influenced by a special homeopathic remedy I was on for 2 days, and I messaged my doctor.)

Notably - I do not think my neighbor is a practicing witch in any way. He does however have the advantage of knowing what was going on between us for years whereas more recently it's a shock to me.

I don't mind healthy boundaries between neighbors but his passive aggressiveness and encroachment has been so painful.

-Am I doing something wrong by being so aggressive in taking these steps? I'm honestly wanting to move forward in the most healthy way possible for me. I was happier sending him well wishes LOL. But that's no longer possible now that I know what I know, and I'm working on becoming a fierce person who advocates for my boundaries.

-Is there anything I should keep in mind while doing this series of baneful spells? Or suggestions?

-Any thoughts on the post-ritual hangovers I listed above?

Thank you, thank you, thank you & blessings to all.

I've been very serious about writing for the past twenty years or so. I read every day, write as often as I can, and spend as much as is feasible on taking writing classes and seminars to become better. I've never been really successful. I've had some pieces published in magazines but never really big ones, and I've never been able to get a literary agent.

Basically, I'm not talented. I have no expectations of ever quitting my day job. Writing doesn't come naturally to me. I just love it enough that I'm willing to work hard constantly, despite not having any kind of innate gift.

The other week, I read a book that was SO incredible I cried until I threw up because I wanted to be able to write something that good so, so badly. Then I found out the author took a couple English classes in college, bounced around between dead-end jobs until her thirties without ever writing anything seriously, and then she just sat down and wrote the best, most action-packed, most thrilling, most heartfelt book I've ever read. She didn't have any training or go to any classes! She just wrote it!

Clearly, talent is real and some people have it. I feel that if I had talent, I'd be able to benefit a lot more from how hard I study and how much I practice. What can I do, magically, to gain talent as a writer?

Not sure if this belongs here, but I’m looking for some sort of “shielding” practice, I guess. Had a new wave of something arise that I did not expect.

I’m 45 and have gone too far in low maintenance mode, though I never really had any flair for accessorizing and am fairly fashion illiterate. I’ve lost a bunch of weight to get back to pre-baby size, and I’ve been trying to branch out from jeans and hoodie style.

But now that I am putting in an effort, and I work in manufacturing, I’ve become more and more aware of the energetic drain of male attention.

I want to feel good about myself, I want to be cute and dress with style, but also not have to worry constantly.

I’m strong but small, so I’m street smart but not exactly “physically powerful.”

Edit to add that I won’t want to repulse my spouse, just all the other creepers. lol.

I recently asked for help so that my elderly cat would have a peaceful transition after more than two decades of companionship. I'm happy to say she slipped away as peacefully as I could have hoped, with both of her people and all of her feline friends in attendance. Thank you all 💜

A little update on my Sunday manifestation 🖤
For the past almost year of Sundays, I’ve been putting the same intention into our collective spellwork: to be aligned with a partner whose values, lifestyle, and vision for the future naturally complement my own. Someone emotionally available, affectionate, consistent, and intentional. A relationship built on mutual respect, genuine desire, open communication, and a deep sense of connection and security.
I wanted to share a little update with everyone who has been lending their energy to that intention.
In the past month or so, I made an incredibly difficult decision to end a relationship of nearly three years. It wasn’t because there was no love, but because I finally accepted that love alone doesn’t necessarily mean compatibility, and that I had been compromising some of my most fundamental emotional needs in an effort to make something work.
It has been heartbreaking, but I also recognize that sometimes manifesting the life we want requires us to make room for it.
And that’s exactly what I’ve done.
I’ve released something I was holding onto, something that, despite how much it meant to me, was keeping me from fully embracing the kind of partnership I’ve been asking the universe to bring into my life.
And perhaps most unexpectedly, there may already be the beginning of something new. It’s very early, and I’m approaching it with cautious optimism, but there are some genuinely beautiful possibilities unfolding. For the first time in a while, I feel like the things I’ve been asking for might actually be within reach.
I’m not claiming that my manifestation has fully come to fruition just yet. But I do believe that something significant has shifted, both in my circumstances and within myself.
I also genuinely believe that the collective intention, encouragement, and energy shared in this group have contributed to that shift in a meaningful way. Whether through helping open doors, giving me clarity, or helping me find the courage to walk through them, I am deeply grateful to everyone who has added their energy to my work.
So this Sunday, my intention remains the same. I’m continuing to welcome a partnership rooted in emotional intimacy, compatibility, reciprocity, and genuine love. But I’m also offering gratitude for the clarity and courage to release what wasn’t aligned with that intention.
Thank you all for being part of this with me. I’m sending that same love, intention, and energy back to each of you and whatever you’re working to manifest.
May we all find the courage to release what no longer serves us and the openness to receive what truly aligns with us.
So mote it be. 🖤
