First i cleansed everything.
So I did a protection circle by carving a protection sigil onto a white candle and surrounding it with salt and black salt.
Then I used a white candle with grapeseed oil for abundance and lemonseed oil for happiness and prosperity and also cinnamon; put a coin on the plate to attract money; wrote an intention for career advancements on a bay leaf and burnt it in the candle; wrote my intentions with a pink pen on a paper and folded it towards me three times; and finally chose tarot cards for how i would like to feel or what to attract as a result and put my crystals over them.. i meditated on it until the candles went out and then wrote down what i thought about everything.
I feel like I did too much, though.
Any opinions or guidance?

I am a baby baby BABY witch and have not started!!!

Please point me in the direction of some stuff to get me going!

Pic of my cat for attention.

So apparently quite an eventful night , managed to make an offering with what I had , had a beautiful conversation with mother Hecate 🌙
After that an open roads spell for new beginnings 🙆🏻‍♂️

And lastly a protection amulet made a few nights ago 🧿

Don’t forget to get yourself a broom to hang above your door! It wards off unwanted spirits, harmful intentions, and blocks negative energy. I bought this one from Dollar General for $6

I work at a micro shelter & I did a spell for a position as case manager. Welllllllll, I didn’t get THAT promotion. But! My lead got it & the following week I exclusively got offered the lead position! ☺️ I got a $3.50 raise! This happened about a month ago & I’m still settling into the position. I’m excited & nervous. Not gonna lie, it’s been a little stressful. Of course there will be challenges, but hey, I’m new at this. Learning is endless ✨I am so grateful for the opportunities the universe presents to me. I am grateful for goddesses guiding & supporting me. I’m so proud of myself & all the work I’ve done to bring me this success 💫

Came across this beaut on my little walk. Didnt like the first flower i plopped em on, but the second flower was more to eir liking.
Apparently thats a queen be ~ just wanted to say know your worth and whats good for you ? Love yourself and stay hydrated 💖

I wanted to share a simple spell that i did, for restoring your energy, inner strength, intuition, and sense of balance. This is meant to be focused on reclaiming your own energy, rather than taking anything from an outside source. I'm also babywitch and if i'm wrong with something tell me ✨
🕯️** What you’ll need
A purple candle (place it on a small plate)
Regular salt
**Ansuz, Kenaz, and Uruz runes (If you don't have runes you can replace them with three small pieces of paper and draw the symbols on them, or simply skip the rune part altogether and focus on the intention behind the ritual) ✨
🌿 Lavender
🌿 Chamomile
🌿 Clove
🌿 Rosemary
🌿 Mint
🍃 A bay leaf
💧 A glass of clean water
Set everything up like this:
Place the candle in the center and create a circle of salt around it.
Place the three runes in front of the candle:
Ansuz — Kenaz — Uruz
Put the glass of water outside the salt circle.

🧂 Prepare the space
Sit down, take a few deep breaths, and allow yourself to settle.
As you create the salt circle, visualize it as a clean, protected space where your only intention is to restore yourself.

🌿 Add the herbs
Place each herb around the candle in a circle. As you do, say:
Lavender:
“I release tension and invite peace.”
Chamomile:
“I give myself permission to rest and recover.”
Clove:
“I cleanse away what no longer serves me.”
Rosemary:
“I release old heaviness and cleanse my space.”
Mint:
“I open blocked paths and allow my energy to flow freely.”
Bay leaf:
“I awaken my intuition, inner vision, and perception.”
P.s. I also wrote my intention on a bay leaf and burned it, then released the ashes outside.

🕯️** Light the candl**e
Light the purple candle.
Place your left hand over your heart and extend your right hand toward the flame.
Look at the flame for a few moments and say:
“I reclaim my power.

What within me is tired becomes calm.
What has become heavy is released.
What has closed opens.
What has weakened grows stronger.

I release my energy from stress, tension, and heaviness.

I cleanse my inner space.
I release what I no longer need.
I open the paths that have become blocked within me.

My energy flows freely once again.

My intuition awakens.
My perception becomes clear.
My inner voice becomes stronger.

I reclaim my power.
I reclaim my energy.
I reclaim my strength.

The power within me awakens again.
It grows stronger and becomes grounded.

I do not force anything.
I allow myself the space to recover.

What is mine remains with me.
What I no longer need may peacefully leave.

I see again.
I feel again.
I hear my inner voice again.

My power returns.
My power grows stronger.
I am fully within myself again.

So it shall be.”
P.s. These exact words are not necessary, you can say your own intentions.

🔮 Work with the runes
Take each rune separately and hold it in your hand.
Ansuz:
“Ansuz, help me open my inner voice, wisdom, and intuition.”
Kenaz:
“Kenaz, help me see clearly, perceive clearly, and restore my inner light.”
Uruz:
“Uruz, help me restore and strengthen my power, energy, and inner strength.”
After working with each rune, place all three together in front of you.
Put your right hand over them and say:
“Your power serves my intention.
I receive what I need — wisdom, illumination, and strength.

My power is within me.
I strengthen it.
I reclaim it.”

🌬️** Gather your energy
Close your eyes.
Visualize a purple light coming from the candle and slowly filling your body.
Don’t imagine your power being taken from somewhere else. Instead, visualize the power that already exists within you awakening and expanding.
Take three deep breaths.
With every inhale, think:
**“I receive strength.”
With every exhale:
“I release heaviness.”
Then say:
“I am the source of my own power.”

💧 The water
Take the glass of water that has been sitting outside the circle.
Before drinking it, say:
“I reclaim my strength, peace, and inner wholeness.”
Drink the water slowly.
Visualize everything you have worked with during the spell settling within you and becoming integrated.
⸻
🌙 Closing
Sit quietly for a few minutes.
Don’t immediately look for signs, omens, or manifestations. Just sit with yourself and let the spell settle.
When you’re ready, look at the candle and say:
“What was meant to remain has remained.
What was meant to be released has been released.

My energy is with me.
My power is within me.
The ritual is complete.

Thank you.”
If you let the candle burn all the way down, never leave it unattended. Extinguish it if you’re leaving the room or going to sleep.
The next day, you can dispose of the herbs and salt normally.

P.S. Don’t forget to do your protection spell before starting. 🔮

Hiii I need a little help as a baby witch. My question is when I should do spells? It’s more of a personal thing because I’m a migraine patient with a sensitive brain, since I’m a little girl. Especially in current academic final months.

Should I avoid doing spells when I’m so exhausted or having migraines?

...and it has me curious about which deities could be watching over me!

Last weekend I was on a road trip with one of my friends and at some point we were talking about religion and our beliefs. She told me about how one time she went for a tarot reading and from three different decks, the same cards kept falling out. This prompted her and the person doing the reading to look further into it. They also did some further work together from what I understood, and eventually my friend ended up learning which deities are watching over them (iirc it's Lucifer, Lilith, Gaia and Loki)

I was rather intrigued by all of this and wonder how I can find out which deities are watching over me. My friend told me that every time they forget something, a spider will show up. And it usually more or less navigates them into the direction of what they forgot. I know that there have been instances in my own life where something similar occurred to the point where I do believe most (if not all) things happen for a reason (eg. when something goes horrible in my life, the best option out conveniently presents itself at the right time — it's so scary, but at the same time I want to be grateful to whoever puts such opportunities on my path)

I know tarot reading could be one of them, so if anyone happens to know any spreads or other ways to work with the cards, I'd love to give it a try!

I'm also open to try other ways of meeting the deities watching over me.

this is my altar, i just started studying witchcraft over the last month. i just want to know opinions. also would love people to guess which type of witchcraft i've been leaning towards practicing! thanks:)

I don't exactly know if I actually wanna be a witch. It all started with my interest in Tarot, and I don't have a deck yet, but until I get a deck, I'm learning and researching and trying cartomancy with what I have.

But then I started to grow and interest in more things in whichcraft, but I a chicken so I'm scared to go too far.

I've seen many others say to always to protection spells before everything. The only spell I tried so far was try an charge 4 stones with positive energy (happiness, feeling loved, calmness and a stressfree mind) as a gift for a friend (I was already gonna give the stones and I decided to also try and put some positive energy in them).

Idk if anything I say even makes sense, I'm very much at the beginning.

Now the question is; first of all; would my little even work? Idk. I've seen people say it's all about belief and intuition and that I don't need a very strong spiritual energy and experience to achieve it so I like to believe that it is going to succeed but idk.

Second question is; if I just do small positive spells like this from time to time, do I still need to protections and stuff?

How can I best guard my home/property? I have a pet, so putting tons of salt on the floor of my house also wouldn’t work.

I often do protection magic on myself but I think that warding the place where i live is also a good idea.

I am disabled and can’t even walk all the way around my property sprinkling salt or something.

There is another practitioner whom, I don’t want to get into details but due to extremely unfortunate circumstances, I have very good reason to want to guard my home/property against them, magickally. They live not far from me and could conceivably drive to my property and place something here that would act like a curse.

I already have a witch bottle on my property (full of sharp things and my taglocks) but there is probably more stuff I could do?

Thank you.

coming here because in the past the tarot subreddit had been really hard to use. i am still learning tarot as it has been difficult for me so any help is appreciated.

context: last week i went out on a date with a guy and we had a really good time. then he texted me that he is not in a good place mentally and he does not have the emotional availability for a relationship right now. i understood and let him know i was in a similar situation before and i am here to talk if he needs. we haven’t talked since. he was the first person since my ex that i really felt something with. with that being said this is the layout and spread i used. immediately after pulling the sun before interpreting it, it felt nice because ive really been working on myself recently and i really feel good about myself. maybe that’s not how it interprets in this situation, but i felt like i connected to it.

edit: this is the Labyrinth deck and imagery!

Okay I originally came on here asking for a spell to cast on my shitty crooked landlord... I was gonna hire an Etsy witch because I'm genuinely so stressed from my landlords bullshit.

They tried to rope me and hubby into another month and because technically we needed to give 30 days notice they could've totally done that

.

But backstory:

°They never answer the phone.

°They dodge you when you need your apt serviced.

°Our apt flooded twice and we had to suffer mold exposure and water damage.

°we planned to move into a bigger unit but

they never sent the lease and hardly answered the phone so we went to find another apt same day and got it.

We could've been in financial troubles ! bc we had to pay this months rent for new and then our original apt as well. That could've been several thousand dollars in debt.

All this to say I gave up on the etsy witch idea and reddit(sorry) and went into FULL RAGE!

I put them in jars / and did what I felt was best as far as ingredients I used, candles etc..

I did make protection jars for me and hubby and our finances prior!

and veiled myself !!

After waiting for the candles to burn I got distracted and went about my business at home.

Then I smelled a burn smell and checked on it and then BOOM.

Text from hubby saying we got out and they ADMITTED to being in the wrong.

These two individuals are not ones to ever do that in fact they talk over you and speak in a condescending tone. & We are not the only ones !! They've scammed multiple tenants in the past.

I'm a little afraid of myself but I learned something about myself too!

My spells work best when I'm super pissed off!

:) I win :p

Estoy empezando a aprender sobre hechicería y una amiga me pidió ayuda con una situación de ghosting que está pasando. Ella quiere intentar algo para que esa persona vuelva a hablarle o la busque.

He estado buscando información, pero encuentro muchísimos hechizos diferentes en TikTok y otras redes y no sé cuáles realmente tienen sentido o cuáles son más recomendables para alguien que está empezando.

¿Alguien ha hecho algún ritual o hechizo para una situación así y le ha funcionado? Me gustaría saber qué hicieron y qué debería tener en cuenta antes de intentarlo. 🕯️

Hi!

So, for context, I’ve been dealing with taking care of my grandparents for a few years (I’m 29 now), and they’ve been really ill (my grandma can’t even flip on the bed on her own). Since last year, due to a dementia we didn’t know she had, we had a lot of episodes of abuse from her toward my mom and me (directly hitting, spitting etc)
This has always been my second mother, the person who has loved me the most all my life, so it was really stressful and hurtful not knowing what was happening suddenly.
As of now, my mom and I are the sole caregivers and I also have to look out for my mom.

The thing is, it’s so much work I let go of myself completely. Got into a relationship late 2025 (and yeah I’ve been doing therapy all year, therapist told me I got really hooked up on the guy also to evade my current reality, like finally something in all the mess that was good) that destroyed me, and they dumped me march 2026.
Failed at my business. Failed classes(doing a degree rn too). Failed to sleep well. Failed to eat well. Failed to balance life in general. Spiraled like never before. Then april they told us my grandma was terminal… And spiraled even more.

That’s when I reconnected with magic! I was really into my intuition through my teenage years.
It honestly helped me with my anxiety, to trust the universe, the moon, speak to them… It balanced me. I put up candles and spoke my worries to them. It gave me peace of mind. Started meditating, everything was going well (except you know, everything outside my control but I could live with it). Still learning day by day but well.

And suddenly since a few days after the full eclipse (which I did put candles and speak to it), I’ve been all over the place. I can’t meditate, can’t sleep, can’t eat again. Lost 4kg in 10 days. I can’t get in touch with anything. My mind is constantly racing and I can’t seem to calm down. All the manifestations, spells etc seems to have “dissolved” into nothing, and they were stuff that was working. It’s like I can’t keep my flame up, it keeps going out.
I really want to be able to reconnect with this part of me again, and I know that if everything else got “solved” I could calm down and do it, but it’s not an option. This is just my life.

Did divination last night. It told me to stop trying to control everything, guide everything towards an end goal and to let go… That that’s when everything would fall into place. That my energy was too unbalanced.

So, any tips? Life experiences? I feel like I need everything to just stop and let me breathe. Magic was the only thing that was letting me do that and it seems like it slipped away.

Am very very new to the practice and I was look for what I have around the house in terms of tools and materials I'll need for my spellwork and rituals. Came across this antique decorative dish that suddenly called to me (which I can only assume is copper due to the color it weathered into). It belonged to my grandmother and knowing her I'm sure she just randomly collected this in her younger years so I really don't know anything else about its origins or meanings of the design. Besides that, I was also wondering if it's okay to use since most of what I see people use are flat or bowl shaped, and the design here is pertruding.

Of course I plan to physically and spiritually cleanse this before use, but thoughts on if this is okay to use?

Thanks!

I just started practicing and so yesterday before going to sleep i put my new tarot deck under my pillow and today I did an interview with my deck. Asked few questions such as what their personality is, what its strengths are and etc.

When I asked what its first impressions of me was it gave me the moon. From the little booklet that it came with, i interpreted the moon as something positive, but a lot of people on the internet seem to have negative connotations with it.

Does my deck things positively or negatively of me?

Has anyone here actually had success with a sour spell? I’d love to hear your real experiences—especially what happened afterward and how long it took to see results. 🥺

EDIT: The Main question is where do you draw the line for casting spells. What don’t you mess with and why. Sorry for the confusion!

Hello friends! In another post’s comments I saw a ton of debate about if doing a spell on someone is as safe (I use the word safe because there are good amounts of people who dont do them at all for other reasons - and Id like a discussion as to WHY to get as much information as possible from as many different viewpoints) as doing a spell for someone.

Witchcraft - like anything else like this - can be a very vulnerable and personal practice and as a whole - we vary in our ethics and morals just as any group does as to where those lines are drawn for each individual and tradition. I do encourage you to share whatever you are comfortable with and to allow this to be a space where we can share what we think is harmful and what is beneficial because that is truly the one common purpose isn’t it? To connect and get results? (Whatever that means to connect to - others, to deities, spirits and however your means of getting results may be).

My favorite thing about this app is that it reaches people from all over with very different understandings and I want to hear what you have experienced or studied - the more niche the better.

That is quite a general way to say it so for more yummy nuggets of information to give you fuel for study and reflection:

1- A spell to hurt someone vs a spell to repel them from you/someone else
2- A spell to make someone love you/someone else vs a spell to attract them IF they align with you/someone else
3- curses, hexes and jinxes

The 3 fold law and the Wiccan Rede etc are quite popularized in most of the posts I’ve seen and I’m interested to hear about other tradition’s viewpoints in addition to those! Whatever you have to share - I want to read it.

(Remember to be kind and respectful as others share their beliefs and experiences. People may do things different than you and you may disagree with it. I am seeking those who burn with CURIOSITY and want to open their understanding and perspective) throws confetti in the air for showmanship

2 more candles since my glamour magic one I posted on here! The white one is a protection and energy cleansing spell, and the black one is purely protected cause I plan on hexing someone soon😅

Not as pretty as my last but it's a work in progress ^^

I see a lot of love spell questions and my advice to all the baby witches out there is if you can not or do not prioritize self-awareness and self-love spells effectively for yourself you will not be successful in love spells relating to others. Having boundaries and centered energy is really important to positive results.

I’m not talking about severing bonds or anything (that is often a form of self love). I am specifically addressing spells to “make” someone fall in love with you, or think of you, or basically anything in that vein.

I totally believe that two people can do a spell together to increase their bond and love but I’ve never seen a really experienced witch with a holistic understanding of the craft encourage baby witches to do any of these kinds of spells or enchantments.

A charm to be feel confident? Absolutely. A ritual to attract who aligns with you? Of course! One person to one person manipulation like that is not for the newbies - if ever. It’s like the difference between a spell to banish someone’s influence in your life vs a spell to ruin that persons life.

Hey witch babes. I have always been a believer but never done an official spell. I know I have strong power within but need extra help with setting the intention. I have been through a lot of hardship recently and I know change is coming but I want to bring it right to me. My biggest challenge right now is money. Second would be career. I used to be able to manifest magic in those areas but it’s been years since I’ve been able to. Any suggestions for spells to help? Also please let me know what I will need for the specific spell as well.

Thank you so much 🖤🖤🤍🤍
