001Babylon01

the cosmic carousel
a hollow spell
meant to spill
the will
free fall
to call
the drill to kill a thrill
gone feral
for control over soul
the source in a swirl
outcast
anti-social
bound eternal
the viral spiral
chromatic static
perpetual devotion
visceral
thematic
emotion
a drop in the ocean
a mask for autism
ambrosian with passion
lost in the pattern
chaos won
over medication
the last light of a setting sun
a beautiful illusion.....

To reach someone’s spirit,
you must dive into the most broken part of their soul and swim
through its darkest places…

Tips, Tricks, & Ideas Baby witch here!

Upvotes

I have been into witchy stuff since a young age, I felt super connected to it the first time i discovered it.
I have used tarot cards before, I’m thinking of starting a grimoire style notebook for each of the cards so i can make it easier to memorise.

But in general, where do I start? Just in general with being a baby witch. How do i begin to practice, small things i can do in my everyday life that can become routine?

What are your beginner tips?? 🖤

Question Protection help !?

Upvotes

so i have this like tiny jar thing that closes with a cork, and i spoke some manifestations into it about my audition today, yk like its gonna go well and there's nothing to worry about and its gonna go smoothly etc. after finishing talking i put the cork in and sealed it close, and the next day (day of audition) i kept it on me at all times to keep that energy close, and i get on stage and (context: i've never had stage fright before and have been in multiple on stage productions and not choked) i started choking on my words and had to restart like 3 times and ended up just saying "no its okay im done im not doing it" and walking off. i havent really done any research (yeah i know, what was i thinking omg) and just sort of made this up as i went and hoped intention would get me the benefit of the doubt. i think the fact i didnt do anything to protect me could've had something to do with this. does anyone know what went wrong???

Question Best time to do a spell with an oversensitive brain?

1 Upvotes

Hiii I need a little help as a beginner 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 was born. Especially in current stressful times.

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

Question Making a comfort token.

12 Upvotes

My son is 5 and struggles at kindy. He’s very sensitive and has a lot going on at the moment. He’s very sensitive says he doesn’t get my love at kindy and so I want to make a little token for him to carry.

I’ve not really done much like this before but as a child my Nan practiced and I remember a lot from living with her and have since meditated with some crystals to pass on to a couple of special people in my life though years ago and in between.

I was thinking of making this together with my son (5) and also my daughter (3) making 3 of them one for each of us to carry.

I was thinking a little cotton bag and filling with some
Lavender
Lemon balm
Tumbled Rose quarts
Tumbled Amethyst
Pink salt
Drawing of Jake Lila and mummy (made together with my littles)

I was planning to put together in a calm space and then having a little (key word here because of their age) meditation on our love and connection holding them and having a cuddle together to charge them up with our love and intention. I think I would also meditate with them later to add to them.

I was going to use a needle and thread to sew closed before tying some twine so they could put around their neck if they like or carry in their kindy bag or in pocket.

I just wanted to know if this sounds ok? I have researched some of the elements but mostly am just winging it which I kind of had the thought maybe isn’t a great idea especially since I want to involve my kids?

Question Looking for the book I got these symbols from.

Post image
8 Upvotes

I have been a witch for 30 years. I put these symbols on something around that time and long forgot what book they came from.

I went through all the books on my bookshelf but I have some in storage and was unable to find them.

They may have been in more than one book but I hope to find the one I owned. Thanks for any help.

I tried Google lense but it didn't work.

Question How to start a grimoire the « right » way ?

5 Upvotes

So i want to start a grimoire as a new witch, i m gonna use cheap notebook to start but i dont know what to write. I know that many people put spells, recipes, fails and success and many other thing but it feel a little bit overwhelming for me.

For now i just started journaling my day like what i noticed that was peculiar or what i get to start my ritual, what are my intention and more. But it fell like more a dayli diary than a grimoire.

Any help is welcome and thank in advance for you answer. :)

Question Hello, can someone help me please?

26 Upvotes

Hello, a couple of months ago I went into a metaphysical store and was shopping for crystals when I came across these bags: one was for protection, and the other was for peace of mind. Knowing nothing about them I felt like I needed to grab them because on that day I wasn’t in the best mood, I was lost and confused. I just wanted to ask how I could research the items in each bag and how to use them. Where should I look?

Ps: For peace of mind the essential oil is Camphor, and for the protection one, it is Tea Tree and a protection herbs charm jar

Question Advice for the messy mind

6 Upvotes

I’ve had an on-and-off relationship with spirituality/witchcraft for most of my life. There have been periods where I’ve deliberately tapped into it and periods where I’ve stepped away. Recently I’ve been unusually emotional and feeling pulled toward spirituality again, except this time I haven’t gone looking for it.

For four days in a row I’ve encountered spiders in unusual-for-me places — including one today while I was at therapy — and every one has been moving rather than sitting in a web.

I’m not necessarily asking someone to tell me “this definitely means X.” I’m more curious how experienced practitioners approach periods like this. How do you distinguish synchronicity/signs from coincidence? And when you suddenly feel called back toward your spiritual practice, how do you follow that without forcing it?

Spells First protection jar!!!!

Post image
31 Upvotes

So I just did my first protection jar tonight. Please tell me your thoughts!

I added toenail clippings and shed hair as a taglock, and a petition to brigid (the goddess I work with). I also added rosemary and some salt. Now this is the place where it might get confusing, I also added lavender, spearmint, and sugar. The reason why I did this was because I wanted it more to be a vessel that transforms harmful energy into strength, wisdom and so forth.

Tips, Tricks, & Ideas I’m not sure I’m properly channeling external energy sources for my spells

2 Upvotes

Hello. I’ve been practicing magick for a while and I’ve noticed that I feel tired for a couple days after casting spells. During the last full moon I casted two spells and I’ve been feeling drained and tired. I’ve read in books and online that it is recommended to channel an external energy source to cast a spell to avoid feeling tired or drained. I’ve been working with candles and herbs but I don’t know if I’ve been using their energy properly and I suspect that’s why I feel tired after casting spells (cuz I’m unwittingly using my own energy as the only source of power). I’d appreciate your thoughts on this matter.

Tips, Tricks, & Ideas Are Indian almond leaves closed practice?

My friend has requested of me to bless her tadpole’s (dart frog’s) water so they may prosper. The herbs in use must be safe for said tadpoles. Would it be problematic or disrespectful for me to use Indian Almond leaves in this specific situation? I know they can be regarded as somewhat of a closed practice and I don’t want to cross any boundaries :)

I’m not sure if anyone else remembers this but very soon before the Covid outbreak I remember seeing a lot of witches on my tiktok fyp about there being a great shift coming and to be aware. I mean like, a lot of these videos. I think about it a lot how there was a spiritual awareness of what was about to come and it makes me believe in people who are in tune with a higher frequency of things

Question Amulet for daily protection - do I need to wear it around my neck?

1 Upvotes

I would like some sort of amulet for daily protection. I don’t really like necklaces though. Would keeping it in my pocket or bag work?

Also - I like the idea of the evil eye, but would like a Nordic version. Would Mjölnir work for witches?
