NEW Practitioner PSA

11 Upvotes

Good morning all,

As we come into fall, please know, you are *not* the only new practioner (l cant call you a baby witch, l respect you too much to call you a baby.).

As a new practioner, take the time to:

  1. Read the sub rules (there are usually around 10, they are simple to read and understand).

  2. Read the sub wiki's. For example, here is the r/witchcraft 101 link

Beginner 101

https://www.reddit.com/r/witchcraft/s/7hwcAiXGx0

  1. Read the sub's FAQ's, they include basic beginner info, and Frequently Asked Questions.

\*The FAQ's have book lists\* - get a library card or look up a free pdf.

You \*will\* end up with posts taken down when you dont follow the rules. Most witchcraft subs have a rule about FAQ posts, and "low quality posts".

  1. Use the sub search bar - most of your basic questions have been asked and answerd over 100 times. And remember, if you say "I can't find anything", remember others also have smartphones and the internet, they can prove if you are just being lazy.

  2. Teach \*yourself\* how to research properly. Tictok is trying to sell you something, not educate you. Do not trust information from tictok unless youve extensively researched the subject.

Advice (Witchcraft Related) For posts asking for ANY kind of spell interpretation

28 Upvotes

I recently posted this on *yet another* post where someone was asking for help with interpreting a spell, so I thought I would post this here as well bc we constantly see these posts everywhere.

So as nicely as I can possibly say this... Lol.

I KEEP seeing people posting random pictures of candles burning, pictures of melted wax, random pictures of flames, etc.

I'm sorry but here is the problem when you ask for readings in this fashion: you put a picture of melted wax, random flame or candles, and ask people to help read it... Without telling us what the spell was *even about* in the first place, or without telling us the feelings and thoughts you had while the candle was burning. Or *anything* else pertaining to the actual spell itself.

Now, even if you DO include details about your spell, I personally do not believe that you should try to *divine* a proactive spell in the first place. - including a "cord cutting." - (And I think that the majority of us feel the same.) Bc trying to divine a spell you just cast? All that does is cast doubt ALL over the spell you just worked so hard to send out. And all that doubt will hinder your results *because* when you cast a spell, you have to try to KNOW that it's already worked. Divination here is 100% counterproductive to what you're trying to accomplish! You must be in control.

BUT you *can* cast spells, and candle spells, SPECIFICALLY for the purpose of divination. The purpose of those types of spells is to get further information on a situation and how it may be playing out. And reading the flame and wax from those is obviously necessary. (I'd like to mention that you CAN do these two kinds of spells together, but one must be before the other. Not together in one.)

HOWEVER, regardless of whatever the case is, you can't just share a random picture of wax and ask us to read it... With no context or background whatsoever... I'm sorry but it doesn't work that way.

Okay now I'm done lol.

Happy spellcasting everyone!

Spell Help🧪(With Context) Expelling a negative person away from me and my friends

1 Upvotes

Helloooo! My best friend and I have been dealing with a girl we’ve known for about 3 years. This girl has been both rude to me and to my best friend, insulting us and teasing us but playing it off as a joke. We’ve tried everything, ignoring her, giving her the cold shoulder, and one of our friends even told her that we are done with our friendship. But she just doesn’t get the hint. I’m still friendly with her in order to avoid awkwardness (but I have 3 classes with her).

I just want our friendship to be more like acquaintances than anything. I don’t wish her anything negative but I’m wondering if there’s a spell/sigil/anything to get her to distance herself from us, perhaps make some new friends, or have her move. Anything? I don’t want her life negatively impacted but I just want her farther from us.

Any advice or tips?

Announcement/DiscussionšŸŒ™ A witch club scam?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I came across a witch club called badb-club and I'm trying to figure out if it's legit. From what I can tell it used to be called Celebrity Witch Club and rebranded at some point, which already makes me a little wary. Why change the name?
The membership is $280 for the elite, which honestly feels insane to me. I've snooped around a lot and I still can't tell if it's a scam or just overpriced. I can't find much real information about who runs it, what you actually get, or any honest reviews from people who've joined.
Has anyone been a member or know anything about it? What do you actually get for the money? Is there real community and teaching, or is it mostly a paywall with a nice aesthetic? Also, did anyone follow it from the old name and notice anything change?

AdvicešŸ•Æļø(Witchcraft Related) Something is attached to my brother

0 Upvotes

Long story, I need help. My oldest brother has had some sort of SOMETHING attached/following him for about 14 years now. We initially thought it was the house his family lived in however that was not the case. Activity in the home was ranging from doors opening, laughter, knocking on walls, electricity issues, uneasy feelings, drawers opening, things falling in the shower, etc. This activity got more physically violent once my brother was expecting his first blood born child (as he already had a bonus child through marriage). Physical harm like scratches on body parts, being pulled out of bed, hair being pulled. Flash forward to the voices through the baby monitor, the newborn sounding like it’s interacting with someone when no one is in the room, the baby not being able to be in certain rooms without terror crying. My sibling had several people come out and all have the same consensus, there was one room that had the darkest, pit in your stomach, chills down your spine, negativity that was watching and in a way orchestrating. Fast forward to years later, new house, new location. Things seemed to have changed but not calmed down. Now we have sleep walking, a weird form of almost levitation during sleep with no recollection, sheets being ripped, misery/anger in his mood, and more physical interactions or touching and scratching. The child is now a teen. Her and the majority of her friends get uneasy and uncomfortable vibes from her closet specifically. They describe what they see all the same, just some dark figure standing in the closet and watching. Well, things in this past week have gotten more active in the household. The teens tv will turn on randomly to a blank screen, the bedroom door with close, friends say they’ve felt their wrists being grabbed and pulled, lights coming on at all times, and now music. Songs will come on they’ve never heard before and repeat the same part ā€œwhen you’re alone, I’m going to get youā€. My brother has also been very sick this past week with his coughing becoming fairly aggressive. The house has been cleansed in multiple different ways, crystals are strategically placed throughout the house, protection symbols hung, protection jars. However, things in this house don’t seem to interact any time I’m there - it’s usually when my brother is not home or when he’s sleeping/trying to sleep. The teen is becoming afraid as activity towards her is becoming more frequent and aggressive. I genuinely don’t know where to start, what to do, how to protect them. As I said, there’s been several different people come over to observe both houses, identifying what dwells and where, all practicing different crafts. However none of them seem to have a solution. I don’t know what to do for my family.

Signs telling me not to go through with a spell?

1 Upvotes

For some context, recently I’ve gotten into some legal trouble for the first time in my life . (I messed up pretty bad) No it was not a violent crime, but I did steal some important and hefty things, and I did try running away.
Well, aside from upping my protection I’ve been looking into doing a freezer spell in aiding some support looking into this case. I have no money nor does my family have for a private lawyer.
In the midst of searching up freezer spells a shirt that was on the cusp of a clothing bin fell. I mean ive see it happen before, but I searched up the meaning and t said I may have been trying to control a certain situation.
I still really do want to go through with this spell because I think itd aid me. Am I being overly superstitious? Or is it a sign.

Binding spell (photo and thread method) for protection and separation

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I am looking for some guidance from practicing practitioners regarding a situation I am facing. Would it be appropriate and effective to use a photo and thread binding spell for protection and complete physical and emotional separation from my immediate family?

For years, I have dealt with a deeply toxic and high-conflict environment at home that has caused me chronic stress, trauma, and sleepless nights. I have tried every possible mundane and emotional approach to maintain peace and be kind, but boundaries continue to be crossed repeatedly.

My goal with this is purely defensive. I have no intention to cause them physical harm or danger—I simply want to create a permanent energetic and physical boundary so they stay out of my life and leave me in peace.

Has anyone used this specific method for boundary-setting or cord-cutting/binding away negative influences? Any advice or insights on how to approach this safely would mean a lot to me. Thank you.
