Are deities gonna be in your space all the time? Like if you work with someone are they gonna be there all the time, or at random times you didn’t invite or expect them there, like how does that work

Can there be practice without a direction? I want to learn new things about the spiritual world but I don’t have any specific goals in mind. I’m somewhat okay with where I am in life so I don’t feel the need for elaborate spells etc. Maybe something small but once they’re done, they’re done. Reading can only get you so far as well. I like tarot, I had very little luck with lucid dreaming so astral travel is out of question most likely. I heard some amazing stuff can be discovered there. I’d love to see my relationship with the deities grow well (I know I’m supposed to give it a lot of time and I’m happy with that) but I’m not sure if doing mostly the same thing every day will be enough?
I guess that’s my main concern. Doing basic things has its limit in terms of “advancing” but making spells/rituals/etc. only to advance doesn’t sit right with me, why would I do them if I don’t have a need for them? -
Hi, I’m still a baby witch. I want to know, are symbols of the deity you’re working with enough to set up and altar? Can you work with Aphrodite and Hecate? Can a dagger and any key work as a symbol of Hecate?

I’m nervous about the up coming solar eclipse. I was thinking about making a simmer pot. Does anyone have a good recipe for the occasion? Also, can I create a simmer pot and still create eclipse water? Thanks!

###IMPORTANT!
There has been a recent influx of scams on reddit. If you are redirected to an instagram or other platform in a comment, it is most likely a scam. Users who message you asking for or offering spells or readings are almost always scammers or phishers.

Can you carve or shape a sigil into your food as a means of activation? It is technically destroying the sigil and cooking does provide energy so?

Does anyone know of any ingredients I should avoid as they’re toxic to pets? My fur babies are my world, and there are so many ingredients, and I’m still new. I’m going to invest in a lockable cabinet, but until then, I’m happy to limit what I bring in the home.

Hello, so l’ve been seeing a lot of spiders recently, and in my mother country beliefs, it is synonym of good omen and that killing them means letting go either any form of opportunity or luck. However, last night, I re-saw a similar spider with some eggs on my window, and later on, I saw that she laid her eggs on my shutter wall. I’m freaking out a little bit because there’s a LOT of them (duh) but I try to convince myself that’s good? I don’t know. Anyway, I’ll be thankful to know your thoughts or even your beliefs on the subject.

Recently my family and have been experiencing a lot of negative events ( car crash, loss of employment, nightmares, insomnia, illness) it’s all happening very quickly. My daughters have also expressed that they feel a heaviness, which I can agree on. I want to cleanse my home and my energy – I was recommended sage but there’s several. I would like some
Guidance.. thanks -
Offering to Ostara Gone
Newish sorta baby witch (started practicing in middle school but stopped and am now 40 abs embracing it fully.) On my outdoor altar on the spring equinox on the 19th, I left flowers, herbs, eggshells, and a handmade beaded bracelet (spring colors and it was pretty). I went to clean it up just now and everything is untouched except the bracelet is gone. Obviously my first thought is a critter but wouldn’t they have disturbed the herbs (basil) and eggshells? Egg was sitting upright just like I left it. I did a bay leaf ritual that evening that blew out the back of my Terra cotta outdoor chiminea, if that seems relevant. Scratching my head here.

Rice bowl with beans and hair and rope in it.??? Meaning??
Good morning. I’m a newbie and my original post got the picture of it but I don’t have enough karma yet to post it. Just curious on what that is in the spell, craft realm. Thanks in advance.

It’s currently in the middle of a blizzard where I am. Is it ok to leave my crystals on the windowsill instead of full on taking them outside? Thanks!!

I did a full moon ritual just now. I was meditating on a candle. I connected with a soul connection and comforted her through her ill health. It was quite heavy and I received some black shadows that gave me some arm pain. However I just went about it with full faith and intention. The candle has been burning for over 3 hours now and that’s not its average light time. It’s also bending westwards (not the flame, the candle stick is bending). I’m confident I’ve connected with the fire and I’ve made my way to send some light to my soul connection. Is there however any interpretation to this experience? I cried a lot during this ritual. Every time I cleansed her space, I also felt a relieving energy on my end. Is it one of the TF signs? This is my first and therefore my ask. I’m striving to build my own practice with my own intuitive interpretations…. But the candle bending has my mind blown and seeking answers. Thoughts?

I’m pretty brand new to witchcraft and spellwork, the only “witchy” thing I really do is tarot and that’s only occasionally when I feel called to. What are your tips for people just starting out who want to start practicing?
I’ve been researching things online, and since tmrw is a full moon I want to try making some jars of moon water and incorporate them into teas. I also read about making magical ink with moon water which sounds intriguing to me. What are your fav things to do with charged moon water?
