Hi I am looking for a coven in Toronto

Cat knocked over my candle during spell and it went out

Hi everyone,

I’m pretty new to witchcraft and just casted a prosperity spell for the first time. I read that animals were allowed to enter the circle so I thought it would be okay if my cat was was walking in and out. However she ended up knocking over the spell candle I was supposed to let burn out on its own. Should I be concerned the spell won’t work now or is this considered a natural cause of the candle going out since I didn’t do it and my cat did. I really don’t want to have to do this all over again. 😭

Thanks
Emily

Familiar help

To start off I know I am sort of a baby witch and i’m not sure if this is too soon.

I do not yet have a familiar, or really know what that sort of relationship looks like, so I am looking for some guidance on the subject.

I have noticed though that my brothers cat seems very interested in my practices. I know that there is a difference between pets and familiars so i’m not quite sure. But tonight during a ritual I noticed him watching me closely and purring. I found this interesting because my dog and out other cat seem avoidant or even fearful of my practices. He also has a very strong personality and seems quite intelligent.

So any help on this would be appreciated, thank you!

I don’t want to start a new post, maybe you can help me here. I need to do a banishing/ move out spell for my hateful neighbours, I want to use 4 thieves vinegar and supposed to throw the bottle in a moving water after it’s done. I’m not very inclined to throw the bottle in a river 🙁 any other way I can dispose of it? Throw it in a public trash far away :p? thank you
