Hiya! I used to practice, but academics really took all my time/motivation/energy, and twice now when my two witch friends have done readings they’ve gotten horrible nightmares of the same creature + a wooden fence, and the most vivid nightmares they’ve ever had/had in years. I’ve cleansed+banished+cast protection multiple times between then (it was two years between those occurrences) and such but whatever it is just won’t seem to shoo. I don’t think it’s a prev house owner because that’s not possible.

Is it normal to not have any guides/patrons etc.? I haven’t noticed any signs, dreams, recurring themes, I don’t feel in any particular way. Got into deity worship, same thing (although probably I’m not supposed to expect anything in return). I don’t seem to have any problems with energy work (I’m doing the exercises from the psychic witch book) so it makes me think I’m not sensitive to such things. I tried to examine why I’m even doing this and I confess, part of it is projecting my unmet social needs (lol) but that’s the smaller part. I’d say 75% of my reason is being curious about the spiritual world, accessing wisdom, connecting more with what’s around me (such as my house, nature, learning new things). One of many reasons why I got out of catholicism was because I felt like my messages aren’t received, I saw many people saying that paganism is completely different in that matter so I’m a little disappointed. I’m not blaming anyone of course, it’s just an afterthought I had. Maybe it’s one of those “you’re not ready” moments but I don’t know how I’m supposed to change that.
Maybe I should focus on what qualities does the deity represent for me and try to put more of those in my daily life hmm

Should I be worried? I saw a dead ladybug
Should I be worried I saw a dead ladybug and I’m pregnant with my second child after a miscarriage and I keep seeing multiple things saying either a death will happen , a change in my life will happen, and or it’s a relative showing love. I just basically need reassurance cuz I’m already anxious enough with this one after my last one. And if it is a bad omen what should I do to prevent anything. I’m still pretty new to this and still learning.

Hi everyone! I’m still relatively new-ish to witchcraft and I haven’t been able to find anything anywhere about this specifically so I thought I’d crowdsource!
My birthday is coming up on Sunday the 10th, which as we know, is a new moon and this one is specifically a new moon in Pisces, my sun sign. I have my usual rituals that I do for a new moon in general, but this one falling on my birthday in my sign feels more important and like I should do something special!
Specifics around my practice- I almost exclusively work with herbs and candles and I’ve started to work in crystals as well. I’ve found the most success with spell jars and making my own intention candles with herbs and oil. I also have found I really like manifesting and setting intentions by writing them down on bay leaves or paper, sometimes creating my own sigils, and burning them in the candles I’ve anointed and coated in herbs.
I’d love some ideas/guidance on how to spice up my new moon ritual for the occasion and I’m not bound to sticking within the ways I usually practice. I’m always open to new ideas and new ways to practice! Thank you all in advance for your help!

I had a dream, and I’d like some interpretation?
So, I’ve been looking into some deity work with a specific deity for the last few days. Done an insane amount of research (and still going) and found out one of his associations Is a fox.
I LOVE foxes. Most beautiful critters on this planet if you ask me. I even have one tattooed on my neck (red fox)
The dream I had involved me protecting a red fox that was NOT domesticated but took a huge liking to me. I put him in my (assuming waterproof backpack) to keep him dry, let him wandered and hide and he always came back to me. Cradled him and literally fast best friends. And I was protecting HIM from something. Not necessarily malicious, but something akin to like someone mistreating the fox. Like a dude who would just pick on him or not know how to treat him well. Or someone who might kick him if they weren’t paying attention.
Everything on the internet mentioned it being a bad omen, but none of the dream felt like a warning or suppressing anything, in fact the opposite. Felt like I was embracing something, and it was embracing me back. If this isn’t the best place to ask this question, please let me know! Thank you in advance!
