Protection spells are utilized by witches to safeguard themselves and others from negative energy and harm. Here are a few examples:

Circle of Protection: This spell involves creating a circle of salt or herbs around oneself or a specific area to create a barrier against negative forces.

Shielding Spell: This spell requires visualizing a protective shield of light or energy around oneself to deflect any negative influences.

Warding Spell: By placing protective symbols or objects in a specific area, this spell prevents unwanted energies or entities from entering.

Banishing Spell: This spell removes negative energies or entities from a person or place by using incantations, herbs, or rituals.

Remember, it is important to use these spells responsibly and with good intentions.

Spirit Work

Working with spirits was popularized and developed in the 1840’s to the 1920’s. Spirit work has also been known as “Necromancy.”

The term necromancy as defined by Merriam-Webster Dictionary:

1: Conjuration of the spirits of the dead for purposes of magically revealing the future or influencing the course of events

2: MAGIC, SORCERY

Some may define that any working, communication, or magic involving the dead (and therefore spirits) is a form of necromancy.

By necromancy, I don’t mean to physically raise the dead. If that was truly possible, then I believe there would be a lot of skeletons and rotting corpses lurking around.

A spirit is a being that does not exist in our physical world. Many spirits can project messages into our world, but they cannot manifest into a solid, physical form here. Most spirits will reside within the astral – which is a separate dimensional plane from our own.

When someone works with spirits it is called spirit work and can take many different forms. Some people want to learn, and keep it strictly business, while others want to be friends or even more in some scenarios.

Deities, Spirits, or Ghosts

Deities are spirits who are seen as divine. They draw their powers from faith and being worshipped in a particular religion.

Spirits generally are entities with many other subcategories, but they tend to draw their powers essentially from the elements of nature and from peoples’ beliefs.

Ghosts were once humans or animals who have died and sometimes, they can remain in our world.

Religion and Spirit Work

Lots of people use spirit work to become closer to their faith or desired path working.

Abrahamic religions use spirit work to commune with God. While there are other individuals who only commune with the Angels or even better, those that commune with the Demons.

Pagans, on the other hand, use spirit work to commune with the various deities and spirits alike. Some people are aligned to a sole practice of religion or single pathworking, while other people are not tied down to any particular practice.

Building Spiritual Connections

Everyone is different in their approach on building relationships. These relationships can be started by either you or the spirit. Some people keep things strictly as business while others build friendships. However, they should not be a direct replacement for mundane relationships, especially not romantic ones.

Remember that spirit work takes effort.

Do the research. Sharpen your mind. Trial and Error.

Don’t let people play translator. No one should be the dedicated “interpreter.” Sometimes it’s okay to use a third party, but do not make it a habit. People can lie. Your relationship is between you and the spirit.

You can say “No.” Spirits can be held accountable for their actions, and you don’t have to do anything you’re not comfortable with.

Spirits can say “No.” Spirits are like people, and they aren’t playthings. They’re autonomous beings capable of making their own decisions.

Incompatibility. Sometimes a personality, method, and antics might not work very well with you. Recognize when it happens. This may mean taking a break or going separate ways.

Discernment

The process of discernment is interpreting and vetting metaphysical experiences. It helps you build what’s known as UPG or Unverified Personal Gnosis.

UPG is your direct experiences with a spirit or deity. If someone else has the same UPG as you they got all by themselves without help, then that UPG can be considered SPG, or Shared Personal Gnosis.

Your experiences don’t have to match other people’s.

Don’t tailor your UPG to match others. Many people fall into this trap simply because they want to belong to a community or be recognized by authority figures or in some cases both.

Spirit Communications And Synchronicities

When spirits try to get your attention, they will do it in a way you will understand.

They’ll show rather than tell who they are. However, some aren’t as forthcoming because names can give power.

Sometimes the spirits will gauge you and wait for you to come to your own conclusions before giving away their name.

Sometimes the spirits will want to know more about you before giving away their name. Sometimes the give and take relationship must be further established before names are given.

For example, we had consistent communications with a certain Fae entity that did not give away any maliciousness, but at first, they failed to give a proper name. Instead of turning this spirit away we both decided to ask for the Fae to give a name we can call it, until trust could be further established.

The name they gave us was Charles the fox. So, we called him that, but we didn’t believe him to be a simple, ordinary fox. He’s a Fae after all, and it took us roughly one year or so for him to give us his names. Even now, I had to ask permission for this to be included within the writing itself.

… And people tend to forget that sometimes spirits are like this.

…And then there are those ones that aren’t forthcoming about showing much of anything at all because they probably may be imposters – and have malevolent intentions.

One half of this tricky puzzle includes examination of coincidences being too much of an experience to be just coincidences.

Omens

Omens are a sign that appears in the physical world, and they can be good or bad omens. Most often, omens will directly relate to the spirit’s associations. Omens tend to be “gut feeling” experiences and not every unique thing you see may be one. When you’re unsure about a spirit making contact, you can ask for signs. Don’t look everywhere for a sign, though. Not everything is.

Dreams

Spirits can send messages through dreams, and it’s up to you to determine whether a dream is significant based on what happened and why. Analyze things from a logical and psychological manner before delving into spiritual territory. Record whatever makes the most sense to you and any repeating dreams as necessary.

The Astral

The Astral is whenever you are communing with a spirit by projecting and speaking with them. This requires Clairaudience or Claircognizance to be able to recognize and comprehend messages being received. Many people also need to make sure that the experience is not your imagination. Learning the differences from internal thoughts and external thoughts outside your own can be a challenge.

The astral is a dimensional plane that exists outside the physical world. The only way to communicate there is by learning how to project your consciousness.

There are many different dimensional planes, and an infinite number of places and people. One of the astral planes corresponds to earth, however it is hard to discern this. One would have to do research and examine other peoples’ experiences, coming to a well-rounded conclusion.

Divination Methods

Divination is whenever you are communing with a spirit through methods of divination, such as pendulum, cartomancy, scrying, etc.

However, not all forms of divination are guaranteed results. Pendulums are swayed easily by subconscious influence. It’s important to have an open mind and factor in repetitive results as a sign.

Telepath Linking

Telepathy is whenever you are directing thoughts towards the spirit in question. This method can be difficult to achieve due to the mind and imagination wanting the results. Sometimes, desired results will redirect your mind to fill in the result most wanted versus actual spirit communications taking place.

Rule of Three

Repetition is key to the rule of three, as it is a measurement that can help you decipher potential signs from everyday mundane activities. Most signs will show up in different ways around the same time if a spirit is eager to meet you. If you aren’t sure, ask for more before making any solid conclusions.

Confirmation Bias

“This is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information that confirms or supports one’s prior personal beliefs or values.”

The more you work against this, the more authentic interactions will potentially be. Use different methods of discernment to help assist you. Don’t try to push things together, that just don’t stick and eventually fall apart.

Do you believe in ghosts and are you scared of them?

I have a firmly held hypothesis that people who believe in ghosts are the most scared of them but I would like to see how that pans out. Please spread this around so I can gather more data (also cus it’s spOoOoOoOoOoky season)

Feel free to add any additional information or details if you have anything to add

(Sorry about the weird formatting, I wanted to make it easy to distinguish being “I do” and “I do not” and “I am” and “I am not”. Also the last option would have been too long so it’s weird)

Reminder to any disabled and/or ND pagans reading this that the gods still care about you, and your relationships with the gods are still valid even if you don't have the ability to regularly sacrifice or do rituals.

maybe someone could make something make sense to me, perhaps if you’re of the witchy/magik or something otherwise adjacent and not specified persuasion

okay so like, here’s what’s good:

I broke my leg when I was 11 and taught myself how to crochet while recovering but I had actually wanted to learn how to knit and went with my mothers advice of “learn to crochet, it’s easier”. which, whatever (funny and ironic since my mother never knit or crochet, her further reasoning was “one hook how hard can it be”)

anyway, since I’ve been very focused on on knitting this year with minor hiatuses of crochet in between, something has felt different while knitting like.. like I was supposed to be doing that all along? I just keep having these strong feelings of when I look at my hands they’re not, my hands? like obviously it’s Me and That’s My Body, but more of This Isn’t The First Time These Hands Have Crafted Like This

my first instinct is that maybe it’s my lineage and connecting way back with some of my ancestors, and them reaching out somehow or way and that they knit and knit for necessity. maybe explaining my batshit obsession with socks, but?? I would kill to hear if someone else has had similar experiences

which granted, the whole thing Is An Experience but *shrug* pleabe send help lol

Types Of Projection

LUCID DREAMING

The Consciousness is aware that you are within a dream. The levels of awareness may vary from a slight recognition to a broadening sense of perspective. Lucid dreams tend to happen while a person is in the middle of their dream, and suddenly they realize that they are.

This term is branded as: dream-initiated lucid dream.

Another type is called: wake-initiated lucid dream, and it happens when you go from a normal waking state into a direct dream state with no lapses within the consciousness.

In both scenarios, dreams tend to be more bizarre and emotional. When lucidity is determined within your own consciousness you should have at least some ability to control yourself.

DREAM WALKING

The Consciousness will be aware that you are within a dream, but it may not just be your dream alone.

Your 'dream-self' will have located someone close to you, and they do not need to be in a physical sense as the subtle reality does not know distance when compared to the physical plane.

Sometimes only the dream-walker knows of the events that transpire, while other times the other person also becomes aware.

MENTAL PROJECTION

The Consciousness projects to another place that is separate from the physical vessel. It's comparable to a daydream, but it's stronger because you see a mental picture. This image, for example, can be comparable to a series of snapshots or a movie being played.

People call this phenomena Remote Viewing or Clairvoyance.

ASTRAL PROJECTION

The Consciousness and the Astral body separate together from the physical vessel. The traveler has use of all five senses, as well as those that are used by the astral body. Vivid dreams are frequent during this time of sleep.

ETHERIC PROJECTION

The Consciousness, the Astral body and the Etheric body separate together from the physical vessel.

BILOCATION

This is where the Consciousness, the Astral body, the Etheric body and the Physical body are in TWO different places at the same time.

My belief system ig

So, to all my practitioners and spirituals, let me help you figure out if my idea of faith fits your needs🫦🫦

We are going to start off with spirituality then witchcraft, they do kinda tie together for me.

I believe that a “source” or god exists. She had this “i am” moment which turned into the universe and souls. She wants us to learn about everything there is to learn and come back to her with that information.

Our souls are fragments of he, therefore we can manipulate the energy of this life. Every planet has this “council” right, every member of said "council" governs a certain section of life. That is why I believe we have the gods, they are the "council".

in a post i made down, it talks about the council more in-depth so go look through that.

Now, witchcraft. i believe witchcraft to be manipulating the energy around you, and its totally customizable. if someone says "oh rosemary is used for (insert use)" and someone doesn't agree with that, its fine. many cultures around the world held different meanings for these herbs therefore not everyone is going to agree with them.

witchcraft can literally just be burning herbs and throwing them into the wind or offering something to river nymphs for a friend to have a smooth recovery or birth, idfk. (invisible life of addie larue reference.

i hate witchtok creators that make shit up and add a standard to witchcraft. like bbg no, you don't need a diety to practice but you can work with one if you want to.

before i started doing more complex spells I literally used to burn herbs and bury them and it worked, so.

manifestation is like putting your energy into the universe and waiting for it to throw it back. witchcraft is throwing that energy like a boomerang, you don't need to wait for the universe to be like "oh shit there's some energy, lets give it back."

thats all for today, if you have any questions make sure to ask them. blessed be💜💜

Keep my name outta

yo f***ing mouth jar 👄🫙

How to:

🖤💋🖤💋🖤💋🖤

You need 1 small jar (like a baby food jar) or glass vial/container with cork or a top, and another larger jar you can seal it in, with room around it to add herbs.

In the small jar make a name paper with your name (full name) and any nicknames, business names etc. Then add a petition that says "For Every time you speak ill over me, my life becomes more beautiful and my wealth grows, while your life becomes more unbearable, and your wealth and health fade." Sign the petition with your full name.

Fill the small jar with those papers, lavender, basil, sage, cloves, rosemary and patchouli. Optionally, you can add small sized Quartz stones. Then seal that jar well. If the jar is corked, seal with wax.

Place it in the large jar and fill the rest of the large jar with any of the following: salt, peppercorns, chilis, chili powder, red peppers, nightshade, belladonna, pokeroot, garlic, hotfoot powder, tobacco, small rusted nails, small mirror shards, dead bugs, spider webs, cloves, poppy seeds, small sticker burrs, cat claws- once you've added what you like, top it with more salt, chili powder and your baneful herbs (you want most of the smaller vessel covered) then twist that jar top tight. Seal as you desire.

Lastly, place intent into the jar- you can do this by burning a tealight candle over it and focusing on your intended outcome, or similarly by burning a separate petition or sigil you create on top and scattering the ashes to the wind.

You may bury this jar or keep it hidden somewhere close to you as it does its task.

Getting the most delightful, toe-curling, ecstasy-inducing divine revelation while being in the shower is one of my favourite parts about being a pagan.

It reminds me that the gods are present even when you don’t think they would in a certain moment
