I need some advice! I did a hex jar a month ago and left the jar in the cupboard of a house on my cousins land that is abandoned (with his permission of course) The problem is the house is near the highway and sometimes people get nosy. I’m worried that someone may stop by to snoop one day and stumble across the jar. Is it safe to move it? I have a new location picked out that it will never be found and is completely safe for the earth. I’m just wondering if it is safe to touch a hex jar once it’s been done?
Also, when I did the hex I let a little bit of the wax pour over the lid for a seal but not much. It’s definitely not covered. I’ve since realized the entire top should have been sealed with the wax. Is it okay to repeat the hex and burn the candle some more until the lid is completely covered and then move it?
The hex was done about a month ago and yesterday I got huge, shocking news out of the blue which I believe could be direct evidence of my spell working. Is it too late to revisit it? Will it cause any harm to do so? -
Hi!
I’m fairly recent to the witchcraft ”world”, and I’d like to know where should I begin? I love reading and I think it might be interesting if anyone can recommend me some authores regarding the witchcraft’s pratices, etc.
Thank you! -
I was wondering if it’s possible to do spells without chanting words out loud (for example, is it possible to chant the words only in my mind?)
I have a slight stutter, however, sometimes it becomes worse, to the point I can’t even say two or three words without stuttering, and I’m afraid that, due to this, I won’t be able to sucessfully chant spells/manifestations and overall practice witchcraft.
Thank you for your help! ❤️

Hi everyone, peace and prosperity.
I posted this but I didn’t have enough karma.
Giving it a shot over here!Need advice from someone experienced
Hey y’all, had done an egg cleanse a while ago and done it all by the book.
From start to finish. Went well.
What I hadn’t done though, was discarding the shell completely from my vicinity.
I threw it in a compostable bag to later throw it in the bins but I forgot to throw it outside.
Bag opened and the shell rolled out, I got worried, touched it ever so slightly and put it back in the bag. I am feeling anxious, anxiety and bad about it all. Touching it, not throwing away the bag and the whole aspect of it appearing again.Yoke and all was discarded rightfully during the cleanse but the egg shell happened to here still.
Discarding the shell now as we speak, any worries or trouble that I might have absorbed energy from it? I got worried cause it was THE shell from the cleanse but no too sure if I should be worried that I might have absorbed the energy again.
I shouldn’t though, cause during the cleanse after yoke is broken one makes contact with the egg shell still, right?
Am I fine or due for another cleanse?
Thanks in advance. -
I’ve been pondering witchcraft for a long time but my perfectionism has stopped me from starting. This year I’m trying to just start, even if it’s imperfect and incomplete, I figure if I don’t start somewhere I’ll never start. I want to use what I already have in the house, and build on rituals and habits I already have, as much as possible.
So I want to add cinnamon to my floor cleaner. I don’t wet mop, I can’t handle all the water, I can’t handle my cleaning tasks creating bigger messes than they’re cleaning. I clean the floors with a solution I make myself with water, vinegar, and Dawn dish soap. I’ve read in cleaning blogs and forums that you can add ground cinnamon to such a solution.
Anyway my problem is just that I don’t actually know how to “make a cleaning solution.” So when I read blog posts and articles with recipes for cleaning solutions or floor washes, the only instructions are “mix them” or “add it” but I have a feeling I’m missing something, because the cinnamon I’m using is just staying in powder form no matter how much stirring I do.
So my question is: HOW do you make a floor wash? My question is NOT: “what is in your floor wash?” I’m talking explain it like I’m 5. What do you make it in (jug? pot? bowl?)? Do you make it on the stove? Do you stir it or shake it? How long do you stir/shake it for? Do you expect all your ingredients to dissolve into a perfect uniform liquid, or do you expect there to be chunks of ground up ingredients floating around and that’s just part of it? Can you make it in a big batch that you use all month, or do you make a small batch every time you clean?
My other question is, how do you balance wanting to do everything “right” with being such a perfectionist that you’re too afraid to even start the journey? I thought witchcraft might be good for me because I thought it could be good practice trusting my intution and doing things by feel and embracing the imperfection/uniquness in everything. But I’m very stuck.

hello everyone who sees this i have recently found out that my great grandma was a witch of Russian descent i guess very powerful one because from what i heard she basically resurrected my mom when my mom was a baby she was on the verge of dieing and some people already considered her dead and then my great grandma came and somehow fixed it (its a long story ) any ways ever since i learned this information i wanted to learn about witchcraft and explore this stuff more is there like a good book for that? also did slavic witches used different kind of magic?
i would like to add anther question, sometimes when i think about something very specific it just happens like for example i go down the road and think to my self wow wouldn’t it be cool if i saw my friend rn and then right after my friend shows up out of no where i would count it as a coincidence but it happened with other stuff as well and it just feels like an anomaly at this point and not a coincidence
thanks to everyone who will help me out 🙂

Hello dear witches, could anyone please share their thoughts about the Devil card? I had it as my mental state card in a reading about if I talk with my friend.
If I don’t talk- the Lovers card.
I also had other cards but I was focused on these two.I heard these two cards are connected. The Lovers and the Devil.
Emotionally I love my friend, and if we don’t talk I feel at peace (she’s intimidating at times) so the Lovers are logical. Loving at the distance seemed easier at times.
But my mental state if we talk could be caused by my past traumas. I want to overcome it as a form of trial and keep my ego in check.
Devil tells about my fears and my obsessive behaviours maybe and also jealousy (like when she ignores me and talks to others I’m jealous of other people who she talks with)Can I overcome the Devil card? Go through it and be better? For example if I analyse my behaviour and keep my mental health in check?
It’s like a deep rooted fear and I’m not sure how to decipher it so I can understand it (and understand myself) or overcome it with something? -

I need some advice from experienced witches. I am relatively new to the craft, started a few years ago but stopped practicing and now I am trying to pick it up again. I was raised not to believe in any type of religion as my parents think it’s all nonsense. I do however believe but am still struggling to rid myself of their mindset, they support me in my journey to figure out my own path but their jokes and comments still make me doubt myself. Do any of you have some tips on how to deal with this? My self doubt is really demotivating me to continue when I do want to do this for myself.
Ps. I do notice that when I do tarot, my faith strengthens more but eventually I just sort of lose motivation.

How can i deeply clean and recharge my crystals? Because I feel like only incense cleansing is not enough.

Hi! I am new. I wanted to ask for any advice on strengthening my power, awareness, and confidence in starting, without jumping into spells. I am worried that I wont have strong enough belief or will and will sabotage anything I am trying to do as a result.

Hi! I’m hoping I could get some insight from more experienced witches. What does it mean if a spell candle goes out by itself before it burns all the way down? Can I relight the candle and continue the working or should I just dispose of it when this happens? Thank you for your help! <3

Would my honey jar still potentially work? I can’t afford to use a lot of honey or make an elaborate jar so I used a tiny jar and filled it 1/4 with honey, a bit of cinnamon, a bit of lavender, and a small paper with their full name once. Cleansed the space with some ethically sourced palo santo that was given to me, I made it about 6 weeks ago but with no results. Also tried setting it in the sun sometimes to warm up, but usually keep the jar hidden. Do you think I need to release the jar and re-do it or is it worth waiting?

So I know for a fact my house is haunted. No issues with the spirit I do not want to remove her. I say she because she doesn’t like men and she was one of the previous owners of this house before my husband’s family got it and she died in the room my husband and I stay in. We do not know her name, we only know this info because of neighbors who were there. Anyways, normally it’s just light touches, things moving on their own etc. typical ghost stuff.
Here recently though I have had a lot of items go missing. I’m not necessarily blaming the ghost, I could have just as easily misplaced them, but what can I do to communicate with them to find out what I can give them as offerings to either appease them to stop taking them, or if they aren’t taking them, what I can offer for their help in finding said objects.
