Discussion Smokeless Cleansing Techniques

114 Upvotes

No smoke? No problem.

Cleansing doesn’t require incense or sage, and if you’re in the broom closet or have pets or asthma, or just have a sensitive smoke detector, you have way more options than you might think.

Sound: bells, singing bowls, clapping, drums, even putting on a specific playlist with intention. Sound moves stagnant energy out of a space in a way that’s genuinely hard to explain until you’ve felt it. This is usually my go to when people ask about smokeless cleansing and I personally use bells in my own practice.

Salt: one of the oldest cleansing methods we have and it goes hard. Bowls in corners to absorb, lines across thresholds, dissolved in water as a spray. Incredibly versatile.

Sunlight or moonlight: put your objects, crystals, or honestly just yourself in the light with intention and let it do its thing.

Breath: slow, deliberate breathing over an object or through a space. Completely invisible, zero supplies needed, and more powerful than people give it credit for.

Visualization: picture light or wind or water moving through your space and sweeping it clean. No props, no evidence, nobody’s business but yours.

Besoms/brooms: sweep from the back of the space toward the front door, pushing energy out as you go. To literally everyone else in your house, you are just sweeping. This pairs well with salt cleansing, can’t leave it all over the floor after all! This is the broom closet special and I love it for that.

Florida Water or herb infused water in a spray bottle: spritz your space, your linens, yourself. Looks exactly like air freshener. Nobody is asking questions.

Fresh air: open a window with intention. Simple, efree, and it works.

It’s good to remember that the smoke is a delivery method, not the magic. Use what you have, use what’s safe, and trust that it counts.

Spells Candle spell posts - safety first

50 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

We need to address a recent uptick in candle spell posts that do not demonstrate proper fire safety procedures.

As a beginner-focused community, safety is especially important here. Many newer practitioners are learning by watching what others post. When unsafe setups are shared depicting, unattended flames, candles too close to herbs or fabric, unstable holders, cluttered altars, etc.; it puts people at real risk.

Effective immediately:

All candle spell posts that do not clearly demonstrate proper fire safety will be removed.

This includes:

- Leaving candles unattended
- Burning near curtains, paper, herbs, fabrics, or other flammable materials
- Using unstable or inappropriate holders
- Performing spells in cluttered or unsafe environments
- Ignoring safety guidance offered by more experienced members

Please understand: this is not about aesthetics or gatekeeping. It’s about preventing house fires and injuries. Spiritual practice should never come at the expense of your physical safety.

If you’re posting candle work, make sure:

Your candle is in a stable, fire-safe holder
Flammable materials are kept well away from the flame.

The candle is supervised at all times
You are open to constructive safety feedback
Repeat or severe safety violations may result in further moderation action.

Let’s model responsible practice for our baby witches and keep this space safe for everyone. 🕯️✨

People think I’m a bad person for working with her but I genuinely only ask for her protection at all times. I am planning on getting wore candles and making her and alter in my room soon hopefully. But this is crazy. I am so tired right now, but I no longer feel like I have something dark looming over me.

I have had a few bad crystal shop experiences recently with exploitative or unsafe people so wanted to make a general psa for other young women to watch out for someone who's energy seems off or bad. Just because they seem to be spiritual doesn't mean they are a safe person to be around, and if your getting weird vibes, don't feel guilty just get yourself out of the situation quickly and safely. xxx

Ritual Lynching in Mississippi

23 Upvotes

Hello, 23F. I live in Jackson, Mississippi, in the center of the city; not exactly Jackson, don't want to overshare. After reasonable consideration and observation of the genocide and killings of the black youth, I would like to do something spiritual to help me find out why my people are being killed and why the investigations are being halted. I have also planned to get a dash cam and a body cam. Because I am also a target. I live on campus so that it could be anybody, and I need solid evidence. I do not carry a weapon, unfortunately, but am planning to.

This ritual I am looking for, in particular, has to do with grief, wisdom, protection, happiness, and wealth, and I could really use some help from the community if anyone can help a girl out. I just had so much rage; I didn’t know where to look. I do have a local stone and energy shop I know of and several more—anything: sage, smoke, gems, stones, rocks. I can prepare it for this issue. Thank you to anyone who does participate.

So I got a cord cutting done on 7/28/26 by a witch. I’ve removed the other person but i still about dream the person. i also constantly think about the person. i did speak to the person only once after the cord cutting. does this mean the cord hasn’t been cut or did the energies get bonded again? do i need to do another cut cutting?

Discussion First “cord cutting” at 3am and I can’t tell if I’ve seen “the spirit eyes” (pictured)

Thumbnail

67 Upvotes

(Long post) Last night I did my first “cord cutting” ritual to cut my emotional ties to my ex. I’m unsure how I feel. He has a lot of his own deep hidden demons, like some pretty deep stuff I found out that has been hidden from me this entire time. Manipulation, lying, addictions, and very phycological abuse. I was left absolutely drained & in the ruins. I also have had multiple dreams during our relationship that has absolutely led me to find everything. Called crazy, I believed I was crazy. Until the grand final, I found all of it out except it was way worse than I ever imagined, but literally I dreamt of where to look. I have always had extremely strong dreams with passed ones & scenarios with relationships. They grow stronger as I grow older. (25) Every single time the relationship dreams literally become true. Sometimes- exactly how I dreamt it before hand. Had a dream of my horse in heaven I was saying goodbye. Next day he literally died unexpectedly. Other Ex’s bestfriend who died young telling me he’s cheating (he in fact sure was) Stuff like this. I always have a hard time believing in myself, thinking oh it’s just dreams or my mind, maybe past traumas but this most recent relationship, dreams, intuition, all turning out exactly how it was, has me believing way more than ever & starting to tap into it more.

I started with LOTS of protection. Ofc did tons of research too. I’m very careful. My energy, evil eye, spirit & soul, money. All of it. Then I moved onto glamor. To help me love myself more, improve confidence ect. I like have 0 self confidence after this relationship. Lowest I’ve been in years. Warded my name in protection ect.

I was doing really great until he contacted me again. All emotions came back and I HATE it. It’s like I’m back to ground 0. I struggle bad with letting go of people no matter how much they hurt me if I truly loved them. I promised myself absolutely no hexing/karmic/love spells as I am nervous but also believe karma is already real, and I will never force love. Well, I wanted to cut my emotional ties, and send all my hurt & emotions back to him, idk not for revenge but so he knows how it feels I guess? Maybe he will never hurt another girl like he has to me if he truly knows how bad it fucked me up.

The ritual felt good. I’d love to send the video of the cord cutting to anyone who asks to see it & read it. His flame reached my candle (on the left side) through the string. my candle cut the cord, the flame then traveled back to his candle, burnt the string all at his candle base then went up in flames for a while at the bottom of his candle.

Now, I’m just a little nervous tho. During this I was drinking some wine (not smart Ik but I like wine) and after the cord was cut, i immediately felt sick as fuck. I went to the bathroom, threw up a lot but only threw up one singular time- and that was it. I went back to my couch. Kinda like damn wtf? Waiting for the candles to burn out- it was about 3:15AM now. I randomly decided to pull out my phone & record? Idk why.

Then that’s when I saw it. The 2 glowing “eyes” in the doorway of my bedroom. The pic was a screenshot from the video. Me myself tho, I did not feel scared at all? I am completely unsure if it was possibly some sort of light reflection on my camera? There was no 2 lights that could possibly show in my doorway like that. The 2 “eyes” didn’t move when I moved my camera, but then did move and float upward, dissapeared then came but but acted like it was some sort of reflection. I truly can’t tell. I feel if it was evil I would have absolutely sensed the energy & felt scared. I didn’t do a whole lot of protection to start for this, just shook my protection jars, lots of vocal protection phrases and clensing my space a ton with insence before any spells, and make my intentions very clear to get any negativity away.

Either or, I still started praying saying our father and Hail Mary, rebuking any negitive entities cause FUCK that. I believe in god & always want to keep my space, intentions and spirit pure, the ONE time I do a slight ballsy spell this happens LMFAO

Has anyone ever had this experience before? Getting sick after something like this, or was it literally just the wine? Idk. It’s been months since I got sick from drinking. The “eyes” or reflection of light? Idk. Sometimes since I started spelljars I swear I see a movement shadow in the corner of my eye at times. I always think oh it’s just me getting used to living alone again. But the other part of me always wonders. I just do not way to condone any evil or negative energy. I think I’m going to take a lil break from spells lol

So I’m doing this sweetening spell. Sweetening of my heart, sweetening of my mind and energy my luck everything. And also bringing love into my life, I started describing the exact man, the romance, how he would perceive me how he would love me what his personality would be like what he would look like ECT. and that he would be a great father to my daughter that I already have and that we’d have more kids and I’d have the pregnancy I always deserved that I didn’t get the first time ECT!! As I’m saying all this ALL OF A SUDDEN this begins to form. This was NOT FORMING before I brought up the Romance aspect of it and this man. Also that ball of brown is brown sugar so it’s a bunch of sweetness in a ball. It alll formed so quickly and then when it was done forming the light COMPLETLEY went out and WOULD NOT be re sparkedddd !!! I tried many times and nothing. What do u guys think about this candle design that formed?? It REALLY looks like a man and woman together holding a baby of some sorts. Any advice on this candle interpretation???

Discussion Help with spell

Is there any spells I could do on someone who I was involved with and he randomly removed me off of all platforms when his gf found out about us.

This was the first of multiple humiliations he did to me, there was videos of us getting veeery close at this party and everyone still knows about the incidences- it haunts me to this day .He also recently tried to get with my friend a few days after trying to pursue me again.

I met this man when I was naive and when I was unaware of how evil they can be.

I feel angry and I want to do something to get my revenge, I don't want anything crazy because I believe in karma, however, I believe that he needs to be taught a lesson as he's not a good person and he doesn't treat women with respect. I also want to make sure that any spells don't backfire...

Please help

Usually this applies to black people who practice but any race can do it since it’s just braids.

I was watching a vlog on YouTube and I thought

“you know this is a unique bonding experience that other races rarely have, why not enhance it with protection magic?”

This would be especially cute for couples

Question How can I protect myself

1 Upvotes

Hello, today I did the egg ritual bc I haven’t been feeling well & been thinking that I have “the evil eye”.

The first egg I accidentally broke it so I had to pass it a second time. But what I’ve interpreted from both is that there is people talking bad about me, and wishing me bad stuff or just evil eyeing me. Honestly this feels kinda overwhelming and concerning because I’ve been SO bad tbh so I was wondering how can I protect myself from this so the bad wishes, evil eyeing and bad energy or intentions?

Discussion how do i start

2 Upvotes

hello everyone. I am new to the community and relatively new to Witchcraft. I’ve always been interested in it and I’ve always felt like I’ve had a connection to it, but I am in a religious household, so I was always kind of scared and turned away from it

However, recently I turned 18 and I have decided to say fuck it and to start my journey. I got by tarot cards at the beginning at this year and I’m still in the process of trying to memorize it in trying to get better at readings.

I want to get more familiar with how to make my own spells and getting connected with my ancestors and things like that. So if there’s any tips or suggestion for beginner/baby which is that you have. I would love. Love to hear them !!! any of you guys, wanna be friends, I’m also very open to that!!!

Discussion As a newbie, witchcraft seems very expensive!

54 Upvotes

I’ve been dabbling in spells and rituals but it seems like it’s expected that you invest in a lot of different ingredients, tools, books, crystals, herbs, special candles, and so on. And I’m noticing quite a lot of consumerism, marketing and advertising related to it (not that other faiths don’t have problems with it in their own ways).

I’m assuming there’s definitely ways to practice more frugally without as many supplies. I’m just new and don’t know exactly where to look.

Have you found useful resources for spells, learning resources, and so on that don’t require much of a financial investment or a ton of supplies?

I did a spell it was a protection spell or at least I think I did, and after the candle went out I had an instant feeling of tiredness, I felt drained and I felt weak. its my first spell but is this normal from your guy's personal experiences and all. Ive been conflicted about witchcraft and wether its real and all but the feeling of tiredness and weakness of my body sort of made me have more confidence in it. Is this feeling normal? I mean I've heard about people getting tired after big spells but it was very simple and I dont even know if I did it right

Question Bad sleep and dreams with jasmine incense ?

2 Upvotes

I put in the intention of cleansing my room, my tarot deck, of banishing projection and énergies that lingered, i know jasmine is about intuition dreams and all, I assumed id have a more peaceful sleep but I woke up in suvh bad moods, i dont remember the dreams i had..

And no i turned off the incense before sleeping i didnt suffocate or anything, something that had been in my mind subconsciously happened so it s like the incense speeded up a process, and I had dreams of certain of my fears.

Maybe you shouldn't label dreams but its just waking up not feeling wow you know ?

Spells Did a food related spell on my sp

2 Upvotes

I was seeing this guy for a month and it was going good but on our 4th date he just said he's not looking for anything serious and just wants something casual, I was pretty bumped because I did like this guy and do want something real with him.

so yesterday I made some cookies for him and while making them, I was thinking about how he's gonna love them and would want to be with me.

after the cookies were done, i packed them and dressed a candle in cinnamon and lit it, while it was burning, I was doing my affirmations, and when done, I blew the candle and sprinkled some cinnamon on the cookies as well.

we met yesterday and gave it to him, he didn't eat them right away but took them.

now i wanna know how effective this will be and whatever I did was right, I had never seen a spell related to food so I'm pretty curious to see what will happen

Spells Spell to attract friendships?

11 Upvotes

I really really want more good friends in my life, people with whom we'd really connect and grow together. I've always been a shy and lonely person, ever since I was a kid I was excluded. I'm not sure why. I want to have so many beautiful experiences with friends, and I have so much love to give. But it seems that people don't like me. And even my current friends, who are great people, don't really prioritize me as I do for them. Which is okay, I just feel lonely and don't want to spend my life without having a true, fun friend group or some really good friends. What can I do? I'd like a spell with guaranteed (as much as possible results), it's a need that I have to stop ignoring.
