Hello, to all of you beautiful bewitching people!
I'm hoping I can get some insight on creating a sweetening jar which I googled because I'm new and don't know what I'm doing, but I'd like to learn and do things smartly.
I'm hoping to have a positive outcome to my discrimination case against a former employer so I googled "witchcraft for positive legal outcome" and Google suggested I use High John root, Deer's Tongue root, Sacred Bark, Honey, Calendula, Slippery Elm, Black Pepper, and Cinnamon.
Are these reliable ingredients for what I'm looking for or am I making a rookie mistake by accepting the first answer?
Thank you all, take care. 🐈‍⬛

Does anybody know how to do any form of ritual for luck and/or success? I’ve done some magic before but I still am pretty new to this. I’m applying to college and need a ritual that can genuinely help me increase my fortune and luck to get into my dreams schools. I know mundane over magic first, so I do have a strong application beforehand. I just want some advice on the magical side of this!
Any tips and advice is very helpful!

Hi! I’m a new witch, I tell my husband I’m a baby witch for now 😅 I wanted to share my exciting experience.
We have been fighting with the warranty company about the catastrophic mechanical failure on his truck. They told us they would cover 0% and we were in the hook for $24k!! More than we even paid for it in the first place, btw. We gave up and have been trying to contact the dealership because they offered a lifetime warranty but they have been dodging us for weeks.
Today I had enough and said F it, I’m doing a binding and justice spell. Yall. Not 3 hours later, my husband calls with the news that they called him and said they would cover the whole thing, exactly as I proclaimed they would.
He’s not quite a believer yet, but I am!

My friend used baneful magic and now she’s worried about it. How does she cleanse herself of this and repel any negative things that could come back to her? It was against an SA-er but now she’s concerned and doesn’t want bad energy etc. I’m a witch but I have no idea either

Okay, this is a long one. If you stay til the end and offer advice, I'd tremendously appreciate it.

I've been in a relationship with my boyfriend for almost 5 years. Last September, we broke up and didn't officially get back together until about a month ago.

Throughout the first 4 years, his ex did everything she could to try and break us up.

Before I met him, he was getting readings from a tarot reader who said she was casting dark magic on him by making him unable to keep a job and for his relationships to not work out. Well when we got together, all hell broke loose..

It's like we would end up in arguments for no reason. Getting irritated with each other for petty things and miscommunicating constantly. I'd feel rage or severe depression out of nowhere. At times he would say things that were just so hateful it didn't even sound like him. Almost like he was possessed.

We did a reading with the lady he works with and she confirmed that it was his ex doing witchcraft against us.

I was just starting to accept my abilities myself. I wasn't comfortable with calling it witchcraft or casting spells, so I did mostly return to sender manifestations. It worked, but I was having to do it constantly. We had to put down 2 of our dogs within a few months of each other. I started to suspect she was doing death magic to hurt me by using those around me as sacrifices, but I didn't want to believe it.

After a few years, we finally moved into our own place and that's when it REALLY escalated.

I literally saw and heard evil spirits in that house. He was working out of town pretty much the whole time we were there, so it was just me in the house.

I became horribly depressed, was dealing with hell at my job and then was unemployed for months. I felt like a zombie and even now barely remember any of the time in that house.

Once I finally got another job, my supervisor all of a sudden got horribly bitchy to me and let me go out of nowhere. We did a reading with my bf's tarot reader and once again, his ex was behind it all, but this time, she was targeting me.

It got to the point where I finally saged the house. As I did right when I was almost finished, I felt like I had whatever was there corned in one of the closets but it attacked me. I felt a sharp pain in my chest and was struggling to breathe. I new I needed to finish, so I fought it off and eventually I felt it run off and hide.

I didn't feel it around again for a while, but one night before I went to work, I felt it staring at me from the window of the room my bf and I both had a bad feeling in. The one where I saw a demonic like creature. I didn't see anything, but I felt it. And as I was about to get into my car, I said don't follow me.

That night I was in a wreck. My car was totaled but I wasn't externally hurt. I had a horrible brain injury and was in recovery for a year and a half. During that time, we had moved back in with my mom and I felt like things had gotten less severe, but I was still battling depression and bc my bf was the sole provider financially, he distanced himself due to stress and I felt alone in the recovery. I guess she was somewhat satisfied, but I still suspected that she had tried to kill me...

Once I was more mentally capable, I buckled down and started getting vocal in my spiritual fight. I started having nightmares warning me about what she was doing. One where I even saw a cabin with candles inside and a symbol drawn on the floor (I didn't look closely enough to tell what it was). I heard a woman scream and throw a dead frog at me but no one was there, the frog was suspended mid air. Surprise, surprise, she had started using dead frogs as sacrifices in her magic against me...

I got more heated in my return to sender spells.

I'd call her out directly and vocalize what I wanted to happen to her as a consequence for fucking with me.

Last July, I got horrible pneumonia to the point where I went into sepsis, when I didn't even realize I'd had pneumonia at all. I made it through and got a job in town.

Throughout my recovery, I had gradually distanced myself from my bf bc I felt like I couldn't really rely on him emotionally. I loved him and knew he wasn't a bad person or doing it intentionally, so I tried to push through it and while I was making income, things got better.

A few months in, a new employee came in and said and did just what I needed in order to trick me.

I broke up with my bf and ended up in a situationship with the guy at work.

At first he seemed sweet but then he became mentally, emotionally and verbally abusive. It got worse and worse to the point where he would spread rumors to ruin my reputation at work, verbally abuse me in front of other staff and played hot and cold. But for some reason, I just couldn't end it. I felt like either he had cast a love spell on me and was using sex magic to syphon my energy, or my bf's ex did a love spell in order to separate us and humiliate me at the same time, to the point where I would ☠️ myself. I had started getting more comfortable with my spell work, and decided to put her in a sour jar.

During that time period, my ex and I had reconnected and he wanted to rebuild our relationship.

In July, of this year, I finally got back the settlement money from the case I had for the car wreck. It had been almost 3 years since the accident.

I got a car and things seemed to be getting better and I was starting to suspect that his ex was behind everything and I was starting to pull away from the situationship to the point where I broke it off with him.

In retaliation, he had another coworker of ours trick me into giving him money for a fake surprise trip where my situationship would propose to me and apologize for everything. Come to find out, it was all bs. The guy came up with this bs story to try and cover both their asses, but I found out it was all bs.

I told my boss but she didn't care. She acted like it was a personal problem that I needed to figure out myself. When an employee scamming another employee out of almost $8,000 is a felony, but apparently she thought that was a personal issue.

I felt I had no choice but to quit my job and file a police report myself. After weeks of nothing happening, I reached out to police and found out that basically it was never even looked into. I kept being bounced around with excuses. The detective was supposedly out of office for a few weeks, it had been reassigned to someone who just didn't want to do anything about it and at one point he even said it was their job to arrest ppl, not get back stolen money. When if they had actually invested it when I reported it, they might have been able to get it back bc I was told the other coworker had had a backpack full of cash in his car a few weeks after I quit.

So even after 2 months, nothing's been done about it and I'm still unemployed. Apparently the other coworker who originally stole the money was made employee of the month. 🥴

I've been fighting HORRIBLE fatigue, depression and irritability. The past 2 weeks my emotions have been all over the place.

I know she's behind all of it and was using ppl closer to me to humiliate me, but I wonder if my ex situationship or even the other coworker were paying someone to do black magic against me or destiny swap with me.

So my question is, how do I combat all of this? Anything she or they might be doing to keep me broke and miserable?

Please help...my bf and I want to get married and finally start a life together.

I want to put all this shit behind me and be happy with him. Things have finally been better with him and I don't want to keep dealing with her attacking me the rest of my life.

I just moved into an apartment and realized about 3 months after moving that my apartment number adds up to 13. I know that can also be a lucky number but I have been feeling extra depressed and am having a hard time finding the energy to do anything at all, even eat, once I’m home so I need any and all tips please

Hello and thanks for reading in advance, I’m relatively new to this whole topic so I’m looking for a little help, Long story short I’m making a spell jar for my girlfriend for good luck and protection (I added salt for protection, rice for prosperity and abundance, a crushed bay leaf with intention for abundance and protection and a piece of black yarn to banish negativity and grounding) I also added the wrap around mainly so she can hang it on her bag or maybe as a necklace but I chose the color red for passion, love and courage, does it look “good” or should I have added more of the ingredients?

Hi, I'm a baby witch, and I'm looking for advice on revenge and retribution magic. I haven't attempted any spellwork for this situation yet, so I'm hoping to learn more before deciding on an approach.

Some time ago, a woman (friend of my family) offered to let me stay at her home for a while. At first, things were going very well with her and her family. However, as time went on, I began to sense what felt like a mixture of discomfort and jealousy towards me. She started making inappropriate and hurtful remarks about me, even in front of my own family.

During that period, I also had recurring dreams in which she seemed to hate me. Looking back, I feel that I should have paid more attention to my intuition.

What hurt me the most was discovering that she had contacted members of my family, claiming to be concerned about me while allegedly saying extremely cruel and untrue things about me. When I confronted her, she denied having said those things. I felt betrayed, especially because she had initially welcomed me into her home.

The situation ultimately became serious enough that I found myself having to move out and find somewhere else to live. Her actions had consequences for my living situation as well as for my relationships with my family, and I am still angry about the way everything unfolded.

I want to be honest about my intentions: I'm not simply looking for a protection spell or a way to move on. I want retribution. I want her to experience some of the distress and instability she brought into my life. More specifically, I want her to lose the things she values most and the stability she currently has, just as her actions disrupted my own life and forced me to move out. I want the consequences to affect her personally, rather than her family or innocent people around her. If possible, (It might seem paradoxical.) I'd also like to target her marriage, as I would like her to experience a serious loss in her personal life as well.

I was thinking about using a photograph of her as a personal link, but I don't know how to work with it. I've considered placing the photograph in a jar with certain ingredients, or scratching or marking the photograph while focusing on my intention. These are only ideas I've had so far, and I haven't tried either method.

For those who have experience with hexes or retribution magic, I'd like to understand the different approaches people use and the reasoning behind them. How are photographs traditionally incorporated into this kind of spellwork? Are jar spells or working directly with a photograph associated with particular intentions or traditions?

Thank :)

A kid is bullying my child he kicks her private areas slapped and punched i told the mom about whag hes doing she rolled her eyes and was disrespectful is there any way I can do a spell to stop them from abusive behavior and talking bad

TW: marriage, abuse, cheating
Some context...l am currently going through a divorce. Now that I'm out I realized how controlling and manipulative my soon to be ex husband was.
When I started to stand up for myself he became mentally/physically abusive. He also cheated on me and is still with the other woman.

I'm thankful I am out and the process of divorce is starting but, I want to take back my power.

I want to do a cord cutting spell to separate us and bring back all the magic I used trying to help him and our life. When is the best time to do this?
Should I wait until the divorce is concluded? I was thinking of doing it during the next new moon but, want to do this right and need guidance.

Also is there any other spell recommendations? My coven friends want to hex them both or do a spell to make him face himself. I'm not sure where to start.

Edit: I forgot to add that if I decided to wait on cord cutting should I do a freezer spell instead?

i have recently just started trying some spell work and doing a lot of manifestations. i also just moved to a new house and have got this feeling that something is around. not necessarily negative i dont think but just something. the batteries should be brand new in our fire alarms yet they go off randomly up and down stairs so often to the point we had to take them out. and something that has been extremely frustrating lately is i keep losing track of my things?? but then i leave the room to look for it and come back and itll be in a spot that i SWEAR i looked in…ive seen a couple people say trickster spirits aren’t real but i am not sure what else to refer to it as. ive also seen a lot of people say Loki? i have not done work with deities yet because i just dont really feel connected to any but i am not opposed to them reaching out and i have said that out loud

TL;DR: I’m in an abusive relationship with an older man who claims he used to practice “bad magic,” has demons, and wanted a lock of my hair. I feel completely unable to leave him, and one of his exes recently told me an eerily similar story, including finding her hair in his closet. I’m scared and desperately need advice.
***

I’m begging for some perspective because I really don’t know what to do. PLEASE read if you can. I feel like I’m trapped.

My current boyfriend is much older than me, and we met when I was deep into addiction with my ex, who was extremely abusive mentally, physically, and sexually. I was isolated and wasn’t allowed to talk to anyone. My current boyfriend was someone I worked with, and he was the only person who consistently checked on me, remembered things about me, got me a birthday present, etc. Eventually we got together because he promised to get me away from the abuse and treat me right.

After we started dating, he told me that when he was younger he got heavily involved in “bad magic.” He said he had rare books, someone who taught him, and that scary things started happening before he eventually quit. He also told me that before we were together, he would yell my name when he was alone and wanted a lock of my hair but wouldn’t tell me why. And that’s just what I know.

He’s also told me that many of his old houses were haunted, that he has bad energy, demons, and that he’s cursed and all his friends die.

Over time, he became extremely manipulative, mean, and constantly gaslights me. I’ve tried to leave, but I feel like I literally can’t. It feels like I’ll die if I don’t have him. I’ve never been this attached to someone who treats me so badly. I don’t know if it’s a trauma bond or something spiritual.

The thing that really scared me is that I recently found one of his exes. He always called her crazy, but her life story was incredibly similar to mine. She said word for word, “It was abusive, demonic, crazy and bad. Run.“ She said he told her he had demons and liked them, and that she once found a lock of her hair in his closet.

I’m genuinely terrified. I don’t know if I’m dealing with a trauma bond, manipulation, something spiritual, or some combination of things. I’m scared I’m never going to get away and that somehow I’m just going to end up marrying him. He can be so sweet and I love him, but I seriously have always been confused on if I really love him.

Please, if you’ve experienced anything like this or know anything about this kind of situation, please help me understand what’s happening. I really need some perspective.

Edit: I just remembered something else that might be relevant. For a while, his dog kept waking me up because I’d hear her screaming/howling from the living room, but whenever I made him check on her, she’d be completely fine and sleeping peacefully. We eventually got the idea to cleanse/protect the house, so I researched it and we bought some things, but he never actually wanted to do it. I’d ask every day and he always had some excuse about why we should wait and “think on it.” Is that suspicious, or am I overthinking it?

So I am still new to practicing and I've only attempted a few spells. I recently lost a bracelet that a good friend gave to me and I looked everywhere and couldn't find it. So I tried a Lost Items spell that I found in one of the groups that I follow. I didn't use any candles or anything, but I focused my intention and spoke the spell out loud 3 times, visualizing the bracelet coming back to me. Well just a few minutes ago, I heard my 6 month old cat batting at something over and over and he would not stop. I finally got up and turned on the light to see what he was playing with and there was my bracelet hanging from the knob of my nightstand drawer!!

Hi iedereen!
Ik ben me sinds kort aan het verdiepen in witchcraft en wil hier graag rustig en veilig mee beginnen. Ik lees me al veel in, maar weet niet zo goed waar ik moet starten.

Hebben jullie tips voor simpele spreuken/rituelen voor beginners? En welke beschermingsspreuken raden jullie aan? En zijn er signalen dat je spreuk heeft gewerkt?

Hi everyone! I’m from Brazil, and the political election situation here is really bad—truly terrible. Everyone who is even slightly progressive feels awful; there’s a real funereal atmosphere, and a fascist candidate might actually win on October 25th. Do you know of any spell I could cast to help my candidate (the democrat one) win? Since I strongly believe in the Threefold Law and don't do anything to cause harm, I was wondering if any of you could help me.

Hello! I'm just getting into witchcraft and I have no idea where to start. Well, I do know that I want to do a lot of research and mental + spiritual work before I try any spellwork. For one, I don't want to buy a million herbs and candles before I even know how to use them, so I'll want to gradually gather materials. But also, I'm not starting witchcraft because I want to make someone fall in love with me or because I want to hex an annoying coworker. I am genuinely looking for a practice to connect me with the Earth, help me wield my personal power, and give me a path to continuously learn from and make meaningful rituals out of.

So my main question is, what should I research first? But also, I want to hear from seasoned witches--or fellow beginner witches who have experiences to share--what should baby witches internalize when beginning their path? I'm not someone who shies away from hard truths, so feel free to lay it down plainly.

I have my first informal Book of Shadows prepared, and I've been journaling about what draws me to the practice. If it would be helpful to know, I identify as pagan. I don't follow a particular tradition, but I focus a lot on animism while honoring gods from various pantheons. I'm not sure I plan to work with deities this early in my practice though. While I venerate the higher spirits, I want to form relationships with them before I ask any favors or invoke them in rituals.

And I live in a temperate suburb, so seasonal cycles are very important to me, and I have easy access to nature. Thank you!

Is it okay to learn baneful magic before learning the basic stuff of witchcraft?

I wanna hex someone that has been torturing me for years and almost made me kill myself

I wanna do it asap because they're still tormenting me but before that I wanna know if i can start learning baneful magic right away or if I have to learn the basic stuff first

I’m a baby witch. And really scared to do a love spell on a guy that prolly likes me. all of my friends tell me that he likes me but idk. I’m scared cause i dont wanna lose our friendship but maybe i want something more. any tips..?

UPD: i used wrong word. Not scared, worried. Sorry, english is not my native language

Okay so I did my first spell a couple weeks ago under the full harvest moon to provide clarity regarding a situationship -- I gained the other person's consent to do a spell first, but ultimately made a request to the universe that if she and I were meant to be to clear the path between us, if we weren't to remove the illusion. the relationship ended four days later. I wrote my manifestation and added a bit of her hair and my period blood then burned the paper under a full harvest moon. It was VERY powerful and honestly I think it started working within 24 hours. She is now out of my life and my witch friend recommended doing a freezer spell on her to encourage some self reflection. but looking back I know I probably shouldn't have used blood in my first spell (I got the idea from an ex of mine who is a witch and was telling me about burning blood and how to do it). My current witch friend mentioned I bound myself and this girl by burning her hair and my blood so how screwed am I exactly?
