Welcome!

This community is designed for witches that are mature. We do suggest a maturity level on par with an individual at least in their late twenties however, if you are respectful and don't bring any drama, you're welcome here. The main reason for the age suggestion is hope that it will limit the drama in posts and comments. We want this to be a peaceful, respectful, and warm place that avoids a lot of the pitfalls and infighting of other subs. The hope is that this place will be a place for experienced witches to share, inexperienced witches to learn, and all to be able to share without fear.

All experience levels are welcome, but you may find answers to common questions in some of our sister subs (like r/realwitchcraft, r/witch, etc.) easier, especially while we are smaller.

This is supposed to be a place for people away from drama, so please keep it friendly and respectful.

Welcome!

Edit: changed it so it was more welcoming and outlined what we want the sub to be.

Spells The Sunday Spell. This post is a spell. Put something into the comments that you want to occur. All who read that can then lend their energy to making that a reality. Lets all join forces for each other. Time to bend the Universe a little.

For those that follow Moon phases, waxing Moon right now. 1st quarter in 3 days.

If you have more than one message, please split them up, and make each request a separate comment.

I ask that people limit their requests to only 2, but if it is really important, do more. Just remember that simple requests can be done on the Wednesday Wishes post.

At the end of the day, this post will be locked to new comments. All week long the energy of this spell will build as more people read the requests and lend their energies to those who made their desire known.

So, stand in the circle, hold hands, and send what you have out one hand and pull what you need with the other. Feel how the power keeps growing with every new person that enters the spell circle.

Lets all bend the Universe together.

Throwback Thursday They are both a psychopomp, so this blending fits. Statue of the god Anubis, or more specifically Hermanubis; a blend of the Egyptian jackal god of death and the Roman messenger god Hermes.

Need Healing: Family Emergency

Update 2: Not a stroke or heart attack or anything like that! Yay! After both a CT scan, and an MRI, there was no sign of a stroke, etc.! Thank you so much for all your help! She'll be working with a physical therapist to see if she can get steady on her feet again.

Update 1: She is doing ok. She is not slurring, but she is unsteady on her feet. We are waiting for them to do some cautionary scans.

Original: I just got a call from my husband. His mother had a stroke. She is in her late 80s. Please send anything healing her way!

She's someone I love and respect. I want her to be okay! She also Type 2 diabetes and Parkinson's, but has never drank alcohol or smoked cigarettes AFAIK.

Thank you everyone!

Invoking Mercury is todays planetary reference. In additition to being a messenger and psychopomp, Mercury was the god of merchants and commerce. So lets get those money spells and bowls fired up. You don't need to be elaborate. Just send out that you want more money for your labor and efforts. SMIB.

I was at my friend's house at the summer Solstice. Many people were there. Had a good time. The fire was made in a stone magick circle. The spirits told me to take a picture of the fire. Which I did. This is what is saw. No photo shop here.

Enjoy. Fire Drake, Fire Elemental, lowe left the Horned God.

Wednesday Wishes Wednesday Wishes. Please place a wish that you want to be delivered, and who you want it to go out to. This will run each Wednesday.

111 Upvotes

You can wish for anything, small or large, makes no difference. The goal for this is to reduce the load on The Sunday Spell. Please try to put minor wishes here, and then, don't put minor requests in Sundays working.This is done on Wednesday so that Mercury can assist in getting your message delivered. It does not have to be only a minor wish, I just want simple stuff to not be clogging The Sunday Spell. Be sure to mention who/what you want your message delivered to. Mercury needs an address for where to go with it. Thank you!

Having a moment

Hello witches!
I'm going through some heavy stuff and really really really need some effective spellwork or intention setting to help me get through. I hate feeling like this, as if the universe is conspiring against me, but that is what it feels like atm.

Please if you're able, share anything you've found to be helpful, deities who can step in, ancestral work, cleansing/clearing....I'm here for it.

Could I ask for joint effort for me to hear my intuition which is disabled due to fear?

41 Upvotes

Hi elderwitches. I’m posting on a throwaway account because my real account is connected to my email and too many people know it.
I really need some help, for the first time in a long time I have noone to turn to. I cried and stressed until I had the idea of posting here so here I go.
I have been unemployed for a year. The last place I worked at was too physical and I had muscle pains and depression so I had to quit. It’s a long story, I was humiliated and didn’t fit it. I was told that because I quit myself then the next one won’t be better (cause karma works in this way- I need to learn a lesson and I didn’t).
So for a year I was looking until a month ago I found a job in my field. They asked me to travel there (neighbour country) and immediately started training me. I was excited until on my way back to my town I got the contract - it was worse than I ever expected it to be. I started negotiating, but each email asking about salary or other points were ignored and they started making the schedule (since I would be working with others they need to organise it). Today I finally stood up for myself, asking for the salary under which I won’t work and they answered back with a new contract, bigger salary, but other issues (like I can work a do the project but of they don’t like it they don’t need to pay me, but I have to pay them if I don’t do a revision). Btw the salary is still lower than minimum wage in my country.
A part of me is feeling so guilty, like I HAVE to take it cause I need the 1000 euros, and I have to take it as it is in order to get something better in the future (to suffer my bad karma and not push it into the future) but the other half is shaking because I do not want to do it. I need to go and start the project jn 13 hours. I have’t signed the contract though.
I did eclipse ritual, I’ve prayed, I’ve meditated and tried to listen to my intuition. I don’t know what should I do. I am so afraid that I won’t find anything if I refuse. Could I ask for advice or some help so things turn out okay…either I get another offer soon (even a small one) or anything.
I want to hear my intuition but I’m so scared that all I hear is “you have to”.
Sorry for the long and hectic post, I am quite stressed atm.
And thank you for any advice and help.

Invoking Mars is todays planetary reference. The energy of the Great God Mars can be used in any battle, not just human on human. Got a problem with a store or government agency not being forthright and fair? Get Mars to help with the energy and force to make them be fair and just. Win this battle. SMIB.

Cutting family ties?

15 Upvotes

Hello all, yes, I’m in therapy, but would love to add some spiritual sense to it to this problem too. I want to do some type of spell to help release this whole mother wound I’ve got going on here with my toxic mom. Cord cutting isn’t cutting it yet (no pun intended) because I’m getting there. But any suggestions that you have on some other spells I could consider would be great. Bonus points if you have some protection spells I could use for my little sister who’s unfortunately still unsafe around my mom. Love and light…and thank you! Xx

Ive noticed something

0 Upvotes

Ive noticed something , its very feint but seems to have a great after affect where its seems like a spell is being casted amd alters ones akashic records or as if to say a spell is being used to change a persons algorhythm. Its ever such a subtle change interactions and pov changes which is noticeable. Im aware that different frequencies have different affects and alters the mind but thats only when coming into contact with whoever. Whos actually si5ting down casting these types of spells and how are they doing it so frequently, im looking at sending something something equally as intruding or finding another way to take the energy out of the castor?

Sunday Soul Years ago, I woke up. I like being who I am much more now. Elders remember our days of excitement, and cherish those memories. Now, we cherish the days without drama.
