Hopefully, the tag isn't confusing to what I'm asking. I have to be discreet when practicing and was looking for ideas and advice how to keep a small altar to put away. It's bad enough I have neighbors that think I'm satanic and have spread rumors that I am because of the items i put outside. Witches bells and sigils. I have troublesome neighbors and want to start doing freezer spells but want a small area to charge my spell. I miss having an altar but my partner and his family is very superstitious of me. Even a buddha statue scares some of them. It sucks that I can't practice without someon ..read more

Hi there, ive finally become comfortable being a witch and love the communities ive found here and online. Im curious what advice you have for new witches? Just anything. I want to get into spellwork, pretty good at divination i think thats my strongsuit, and im definitely very psychic sometimes. It seems like there is so much to learn about wicca/witchcraft/deities. What helped you in the beginning or what advice do you wish you had? Kudos for book reccomendations!! Thank you! submitted by /u/metallikae [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I've never done one that is this involved but I think it's necessary here. I'm building a pretty intense spell and I want to do a cord cutting ritual first, then add the leftovers from that to a jar with a poppet and multiple different dried plants, and a couple other magical items. How do you handle multiple elements in a spell/working and ensure that they all hold potency? submitted by /u/meatknife [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

i always wear a lucifer sigil necklace, made of a very resistant metal. today it just broke, it suddenly broke in half. it did not fall to the ground, hit somewhere or anything. i was standing there, with it around my neck, when part of it just came loose and fell off. i was very confused. i was in the middle of a school meeting, with several people gathered in the room. what could it have been? should i fix the necklace? it was a little expensive, i do not know if i can afford to buy another one submitted by /u/tanatomania [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hi witch friends! I need some advice. I’m currently in the process of hexing my abusive ex. I was in the process of adding all the yucky things to the jar (and having so much fun in the process) and when I was done with my ingredients, was waiting for the next full moon to add the photos…except now I can’t get the lid off. Not sure if that’s a sign on its own…but I’m ready to get this thing done. I was going to just secure the photos to the lid with a rubber band before melting wax over it to seal it. Do we think that should be fine? Also, I can’t really bury it. I was just going to put it in ..read more

I was born in Hindu family and am a practising Hindu myself. But I’m not sure how to do “deity work” with Hindu Gods/Goddess. My main intention is to connect with them and talk. I worship and pray to Krishna, Shiva and Ganesha, as I feel a “calling” to these Gods (especially Krishna) But I’m not sure how can I achieve this. I’m not able to find any good resources on these gods (or any other Hindu gods). All I see are the usual prayers and worships but I feel there is something missing, as I had been doing this for long time and no results. Honestly, a lot of other Hindus (including my parents ..read more
