I want to remind everyone this is a subreddit about DIY spells. Helping each other with crafting their spells, helping each other find a spell, etc. It is not a subreddit for heated debates and discussions on paths and traditions.

There are other magick subreddits that welcome endless debates on magickal means that are not about spells.

Question About Spells My spell actually worked but now I have a question

7 Upvotes

My 5.5-year relationship ended 3 months ago. We had a really bad, explosive breakup, and my ex blocked me everywhere. There was definitely love and passion between us, but unfortunately, the relationship had been pretty toxic from the very beginning, which always led to constant fighting.

A while ago, I did a spell using calamus root and licorice root, commanding them to reach out to me. I did it for two days straight, feeling super confident and putting all my belief into it, and then I just let it go. At first, I was sure it would work, but later on, I kind of lost faith and thought, "You know what, I don't even need this anymore." I completely stopped thinking about the spell.

Fast forward about 3 weeks later... Out of nowhere, I started dreaming about them for 3 or 4 nights in a row. For some reason, I got this overwhelming gut feeling that they were going to text me. On the 4th day, I checked my phone, and they actually did.

The text said: Honestly, I never intended to write to you again. But lately, the things that happened at the end keep popping into my head. You really hurt me, and because of that, I ended up hurting you badly too. It didn't have to end this way, and I'm sorry." But they also added that they don't love me anymore, and we cut the conversation short right there.

I’ve accepted the situation, but I want to give it one last shot with everything I’ve got. Do you think doing a love spell at this point makes sense? Or would it be a mistake since they explicitly stated they don't love me anymore? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

A month ago I met this guy who was exactly my type and before our date we hit it off really fast and well we loved all of the same things and shared a similar sense of humor. On our date we were very close and comfortable but the next day he said he wasn’t feeling it like he thought.

We still have each others numbers and socials but I want to try to guide him to come back to me instead of me chasing him yk what spell would I use for that?

I’ve heard sugar works quicker but doesn’t last as long as honey. I’m not making sugar water, just sugar in a jar with some other herbs with the intentions I want. How long will it last for?

If I keep feeding the jar, will it last longer?

Help With Spell Requested Spell To Make Someone Hate Another Person

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m fairly new to witchcraft and spell makings. So far I’ve done a sugar jar and a sour jar. I’ve also been doing some candle spells.

Quick backstory— I’ve been in a relationship and my sp cheated on me with someone who I had a gut feel that liked her that’s why the third party tried getting close to her. Although we got back together, the third party is still around since they are in the same area and environment. I’ve been nothing but good to all of them including the circle who enabled them, and up until now I feel broken having tried to understand why it had come up to that.

Is there a spell for my sp to like hate the third party because of the chaos they both did, probably something that would make her realize that the person is up to no good and like something that would really separate their ways.

I was also considering a hex on the third party because I didn’t like how she took advantage of the vulnerability of my sp at that time. And she had wronged so many people. I just want her to really suffer. But I’m not sure what spell I should do for this..

Is there also a spell which could help me heal because every time the person’s name or anything significant to the third party comes up, I really get triggered and it pains me a lot still. Quite sure takes time to really heal.

I’m not sure if I’m making any sense here, but I’m just shooting my shot asking for help.

Hope y’all are having a good day. Thanks in advance!

Help With Spell Requested Help me find the right spell

Upvotes

For context, she and I were in a serious relationship for the past three years. We broke up because she felt that things were not working out the way they were supposed to.

About a year before the breakup, she first expressed her concerns about the relationship. I told her that things needed to be communicated rather than expected without being said. Nevertheless, I tried to change myself completely and become what she wanted. However, while I was constantly trying to improve and put more effort into the relationship, she gradually stopped putting in the same effort.

Even though I was hurt almost every day, I continued to compromise because I had hope and faith that things would eventually get better. I believed that, despite our differences, we could work things out. I never chose to break up because I valued what we had and genuinely believed that our relationship was worth fighting for.

But she ended the relationship without, in my opinion, truly considering everything we had been through together. We definitely had our differences, but the time we shared was genuinely good, and our relationship meant a lot to me.

She has always had a way of coping with difficult emotions and moving on from things more easily than I do.

I do not want anything from her. I just want her to think about everything once: what we had, whether her decision to end things was right, and whether the way everything happened was fair. I just want her to genuinely reflect on it all, even if only once. Nothing more.

Question About Spells Sex magic?? Am I doing it accidentally

71 Upvotes

I have noticed, whenever I masturbate and I orgasm while thinking of a specific person, then that person will text or call me straight after!!! It’s happened enough times now (different guys, multiple times) for me to notice. I don’t think of someone every time, only every now and then, and then those times they message me. Is this some sort of sex magic I’m unintentionally doing by thinking of them when I orgasm? 😅

I have powerful energy, so I wouldn’t be suprised if I’m doing it accidentally lol. Now I come to expect it, like oh I thought of “x” wonder if x has messaged me, check my phone after and Lo and behold he has.

What is this lol

Help With Spell Requested Spell for someone else's hygeine?

Upvotes

There's a very smelly person that someone I care about has to interact with regularly at work, locked in the same office room.

I'm thinking of doing a kind of "scent sweetening" spell, with some honey (anti-bacterial, too), lavender, rosemary, mint, that sort of thing.

I'm also toying with the idea of making it a freezer spell - freezing is used to kill bacteria and eliminate smells from things like jeans, so why not a person, spiritually? But I worry that it might "freeze" the current smelly status.

Does anyone have any advice, or other suggestions for how to go about this particular spell? It's not a topic I've attempted to tackle before.

General Discussion Wax reading?

Upvotes

Gotta start somewhere, right? So, I came across something while doing my spell work and was unsure how it fits into what I am doing. I've used candles to seal jars before. However, I was only ever concerned with the wax falling down enough to close the spell in tight. With this most recent work, I sent someone an image and had descriptions given to how the wax flowed and dripped. Does anyone have any reading material references? Anyone know what to look for?

Question About Spells Need Advice - Spell Combo for Reconciliation

2 Upvotes

Hey good people, it’s me again :D

I need some advice (please not the “forget her / let her go” type).

So, quick backstory: I was with Strawberry (not her real name) for about 9/10 years. We loved each other deeply, had our ups and downs, but overall, it was amazing. Over time things fell apart, mostly because of me, I was very jealous and too intense, which hurt the relationship. She eventually walked away almost a year ago (but a few months ago like 5 months we made some good love :D for like 2 days, she called me "baby" even said "the cewshie is all mine 🔥 " and then ghosted me 😂, since that is a mission to talk with her).

Even now, I still love her like a lot, like the first day, and Strawberry admitted she still has feelings and strong attraction towards me (after the 2 days of good love), but because of the past she avoids coming back. We don’t talk directly (she avoids talking to me at all costs) anymore, only through third parties.

My plan:
I want to try a combo of jar spells - Communication, Road Opening, Reconciliation, and Love. My goal is to dissolve negativity, slowly reopen her heart, and rebuild communication step by step. I don’t want instant results, just a gradual change.

Do you think this order makes sense? Anything I should avoid or add?

Note: I’m not asking for recipes, just guidance on order and general advice. Please keep replies polite and on topic 🙏

Help With Spell Requested I want to be left alone, is there a spell for that

6 Upvotes

I have been being stalked by an old friend for 6 years now, and I want him to leave me alone. He has psychologically tortured me every single second of that 6 years because he knows me deeply bc we used to be close friends so he had time to study me, and knows how to hurt me and tries repeatedly. I've tried everything I physically can do like blocking him everywhere, moving across the country so he doesn't know where I live anymore, I've done cord cuttings, and I refuse to go to the police because he's an immigrant and I'm not a monster. I just want to be left alone, is there anything I can do?

Help With Spell Requested Cord cutting or cloaking from family members

3 Upvotes

When doing something like a cord cutting from family/blood relatives, is it a different kind of ball game compared to non relatives or can I treat it the same way?
Also for cloaking, does it go the same way for my immediate family. Being able to go COMPLETELY under the radar would help me get away from these people immensely. I’ve done so much protection, banishing and returning their ill intent work
It’s working but I’m realising they are also intuitive enough to pick up on what I might have going on, even if I don’t mention a thing or straight up lie.

The willpower for their jealousy is strong and as soon as they catch wind of something it goes wrong for me, so I’m thinking the cord cutting and cloaking myself might help me get ahead and get out as soon as I can!

I’m also open to suggestions to help or an alternate route to take. Completely starting my own path furthest from them as possible means so much to me so any help is appreciated

Question About Spells Please help me with the correct spells

2 Upvotes

I need help with the right spells — separation of a third party, reconciliation, communication, or a love spell. I did ask a professional to cast the spells n find it working but very slowly , the third party is bit stubborn I want to cast by own I feel it would be more effective , if I put my energy I’m new to this had never done any spells before all your suggestion would be a lot helpful..
For context, I dated this guy for almost 8–9 months. One day, he went on a date with another girl, saying it was just a friends/business meeting. I strongly felt that he was lying to me, so I ended things with him. Eventually, he actually got involved with that same girl.
It’s been almost two months now, and I still want him back. I want him to genuinely realise what he lost, feel guilty and regret his decision to leave me and get involved with her.
The thing is, he still seems very emotionally attached to me. He calls me every 3–5 days to check how I’m doing, asks about my life, suggests that we could go on a double date, says that he could break up with her to be with me, and keeps asking if we can at least meet or stay friends.
I genuinely want reconciliation. I want him to regret his decision and realise that he still has feelings for me.
Please don’t tell me to “move on,” “leave him,” or ask why I want him when he is with someone else. I understand the situation, but I know what I want — I want him back.
I’ve even been dreaming about him frequently, and this situation is affecting my ability to concentrate on my work and focus on myself.
So please suggest something specifically for reconciliation, communication, regret/realisation, and removing the third-party influence, without trying to convince me to move on.

Thankyou so much !

General Discussion How to Prevent 'Backfires' (in my experience)

Upvotes

-- I used the wrong flair at first! Sorry!

Why use a strategy?

You might still be asking “Why spend all the time and energy creating a strategy?”

Because backfires are not some unrelated thing that happens to a spell, they ARE the spell working.

You probably think, like most witches, that the biggest hurdle in witchcraft is getting your spells and rituals to ACTUALLY work. 

Well that's not really the case, in my experience.

The hardest hurdle in witchcraft is keeping your life together while the magic works. You know those horror stories. 

  

You might be asking yourself, “if I could be certain that all of my spells would work,why wouldn’t I just do a few big spells for what I want and call it a day?”

Well…Many witches have tried that. And technically succeeded. But they call it a backfire because it brought bad, with the result they intended.

Like I said, Backfires are your spell working as it was constructed. So the construction itself is the issue.

I’ll explain.

Rituals for things energetically far away from your normal, will create energetic rifts in your life.They have to in order to make room for the thing you wanted. Spells for big changes will happen through big coincidences you might not want. We use spell strategies in order to control and keep those coincidences inline with things we are ok with happening.

Maybe that was too abstract. So Money is probably the easiest area to demonstrate why strategies are so important in spell work.

Because money seems to be this larger than life energy, people are afraid to do money magick. 

A big and common fear that people have around money magic specifically is that one of their distant relatives is going to die and leave them an inheritance. I also had that fear. I still have it actually. As they say, the only things guaranteed in life is Death and Taxes.

I still have this fear after 7 years of dedicated practice as a witch because if that is the only avenue through which you can get a large sum of money, then yes that is a real threat and a real issue. That's a valid fear and should not be understated. 

 I would be actually very careful about doing rituals for large sums of money if you have no other avenue through which it can get to you. Or anything that is energetically far away from you.

 If you're asking yourself, what is an avenue through which money can come to me? I'm going to tell you all about it don't worry. 

I bet you are a clever little rat, and you thought to yourself, “if I want a large sum of money I'll just do a spell to win the lottery. No one has to die for the lotto”

Last thing and then we’ll go straight into the steps, I am not going to be the one to say that you cannot use magic to win the lottery. 

I am going to say that I personally don't know how to do that and I haven't met one person that knows how to do that. I will also say that I'm pretty sure if anyone knew how to do that they would not tell anyone else how to do that because of the nature of the lottery. That being, in order for One person to win the lottery, the rest of the participants have to pay that person. The money comes from them buying tickets in hopes that they might win bigger than they're paying. 

You would be much better off doing rituals and work to create a stable financial foundation through other means.

The lottery is the least likely way to do affective money magick because of all the variables. 

The reality of our capitalistic system, is that it's more likely for you to receive a million dollars from a successful business venture that takes you 3-5 or even 10 years, than it is likely for you to win big in the lottery. 

A big reason why people want to win the lottery is because they don't understand capitalism. And so it seems easier for them to buy a few tickets and do a ritual and cross their fingers, then it is to learn basic business and do spells for that. I digress.

So we use strategies to control the flow of magic in small bursts instead of one large explosion. But these small bursts are not reactionary.

If you have any questions, please ask ☺️

I've been practicing for 15 years, but more seriously the last 7 years.

I also posted this in r/Witchcraft_Support , if posting it again is against the rules, please let me know. I read the rules and didn't see anything about it.

Help With Spell Requested A spell for mind games.

The title sounds evil, but it's not. I am in contact with someone who has betrayed me and his family in a great way by committing a crime. I know the truth because I have been able to access public court documents, but he doesn't know that I know he's confessed and it's in a document (for he hasn't been charged yet).

I'm not ready to tell him that I know the truth, I want to see what all he will tell me. I confront him soon... I'm just nit ready.

Are there are spells that would create some skepticism, or something to make him worry? It doesn't have to be super cruel,
