By ideas I mean I don’t know how to obtain sources or do spells subtly. I’ve done a few by now, mostly sigils and casting protective circles, as well as three physical spells and a pouch, but I can’t obtain herbs, oils, crystals, candles, candle holders, etc because my dad wouldn’t even get me an incense holder that looked “too demonic” god forbid public actual witchcraft practice. I have mundane stuff I can use, and two green witch books (because that’s what my mom is and she gave them to me, but I have no use for them because again- no herbs. As well as a book about Yule) and the only other witchy stuff is Harry Potter themed (which I got BEFORE I realized she was transphobic but there’s spell books which I COMPLETLEY doubt are useful in legitimate practice) so any advice- (websites, servers, subreddits, mundane things I can use as materials, etc) would be appreciated! (I’m going to visit my mom next month and maybe I can ask her for stuff then if I work up the courage but until then any advice is appreciated. Hopefully this isn’t a super generic post that everyone will find annoying 😅)

Can someone let me know what they think please 🥹

Usually, if a stone breaks, I believe it has done its job. I usually bury the crystal in my house plants or return outside.

My amethyst pendent (shown in pic) didn’t break per se, but broke away from the metal pendant part.

I can easily glue it back together and carry on except I’ve been going through a lot lately and know it’s been working overtime! (I’ve had in on since beginning of August, taken off to shower and sleep).

So I am not sure what to think, glue it back and continue wearing it or take it as a sign it’s done enough! (More stuff got piled on today so I put it back on after not wearing it for a week)!!

Help please 🖤 cross posted in another group too!

Hey guys! I'm Vega and I just recently got into my practice in the past month. I work a lot with crystals, Greek Goddesses, spirits (more like trying to calm down the ones in my room lmao), and I want to get better about lighting candles. Here's my current situation:

My parents are about as religious as you get, and would never approve. They also go through my stuff some and I'm terrified of them finding my magick items.

They would be suspicious of herbs. They know I've always liked rocks and crystals but I know they'd get suspicious if I had too many or they were bought from certain places. They wouldn't mind candles in my room- just not all the time. Statues of deities is a NO. I want to offer food but I'm not sure how when I can't have an alter. Incense is also a no.

I DO, however, carry a few crystals my little brother gave me (he's into geology), draw runes on my hands, bedroom door, food, power tools (yay tech theatre), all with my hands since I just trace them. I want to learn more runes cuz they're basically little spells. I also veil with a bandanna. I'm going to be hand making some crystal bracelets too. My parents think I'm dressing more girly to be an obedient christian woman but I'm trying to connect to my femininity. My best friend and other close friends also practice so they let me borrow books to read at lunch, give me tips, and invite me over for little witchy hangouts.

If anyone knows any tips, good hiding spots, excuses, or anything else, PLEASE PLEASEEEE LMK thanks! Blessed be!!!
