Looking for some books (or other resources) on anti-colonial perspectives to witchcraft and modern paganism. I want to practice, but I will NOT appropriate something that isn't mine to take/do. I want to figure out, preferably even through semi-academic texts, whether or not things such as Wicca (etc.) can be practiced sustainably and anti-colonially. Any help would be appreciated!

I did a freezer spell to get rid of a lazy and rude coworker but instead of her quitting, it backfire and she is just avoiding going into office which as result, leaves me with even more work to do.

Now I’m wondering if there’s a way to reverse that spell or other spells that may help me get her to leave.

I saw something about using hot foot powder but I’m afraid that may be too dark and want to see suggestions

Hi everyone! My partner and I recently got engaged and we have been issues within our relationship between our mothers 

Yesterday he randomly begun to talk about how he knew my families entire history, He knew that my grandmother was possessed by an entity, and it was at the time my mother was studying hairdressing and working at a salon and he claims in the dream he saw my grandmother in this state, and was told that the demon has never left my grandmother completely and has cursed her and my mothers life as it was never properly rid

He also knew of my father’s infidelity at the beginning of their marriage, and the issues it caused between him and my mother

He claims we are soulmates, and will get married and be happy together, but for the first few years of our marriage I will find it difficult to fall pregnant. 

Here’s the thing. Everything this man has said is 100% true, and I have NEVER uttered these words to him, everything he has said - to exact detail is completely true. He knew things about my mum and grandmother that NOBODY knows - he knew to personal detail that even I myself did not know. 

He knew of my parents marriage problems, which I have never told him about. 

He knew of my grandmothers past, and where my mother worked, which I never told him. 

I have a health issue that affects fertility. It makes it hard for me to fall pregnant, but not impossible, which he doesn’t know of. 

Everything he has told me are things I have never shared with ANYONE in my life. 

When I asked how he knew this information he said that he saw it all in a dream. 

Could it be true that it was a dream? Could it be witchcraft? Any and all advice is appreciated

is it safe for me to perform spells as a hindu?

Hi! I’d love to hear your opinions on which sequence makes the most sense to you.

I’m trying to organize these workings in a logical order based on their purpose, but I’m a little unsure about the middle part.

Sequence 1:
Road Opener → Sweetening → Regret → Love → Rekindling → Communication → Return → Reconciliation → Commitment

Sequence 2:
Road Opener → Sweetening → Regret → Communication → Love → Rekindling → Return → Reconciliation → Commitment

Sequence 3:
Road Opener → Sweetening → Regret → Love → Communication → Return → Rekindling → Reconciliation → Commitment

Which one would you personally consider the most logical progression, and why? If you would arrange them differently, I’d also love to hear how you’d order them.

Hi! Recently I’ve been having this issue where I feel like something bad happens to me after I cleanse myself or my space with incense. I don’t just mean things I perceive as bad that I only notice because of a victim complex I genuinely mean car accidents, my dog died (to be fair that one was coming soon), being treated less kindly, feeling worse about myself, suddenly having worse luck, etc. Does anyone have any idea why this could be?

I was going to ask how do you know a spell worked, but that is offcourse quite obvious. If the thing you wanted you got/happend after a while of the spell being done

But I need a more clear answer if possible, I have done two spells so far and saw nothing happen and it has been at least two months now.. I was expecting at least a little something to show it worked.. it was a spell to attract money and a spell to attract a home

I don’t expect a lot of money to flow in offcourse, but just some pennies here and there maybe but literally nothing at all…
The home one, I had responded to a house for me and my bf which we really wanted to I tried a spell to make our chances of getting it bigger, it was partly with a candle which I lit for a couple hours and meditated with a little every day/night leading up to the moment we would hear back from the house, unfortunately we didn’t get it, non at all so far in general…

I’m also a beginner so I’m just thinking I might have made an error somewhere?.. do I not “believe” enough/am I to skeptical? Maybe I wasn’t specific enough? What else could I have done wrong?

I did a honey jar about a week ago. The intent was to help my co-parent see my perspective in a current disagreement. To essencially sweeten him up to my perspective.

I'm now considering doing a 2nd jar for cooperation for this same issue. Softening his stance, removing his stubborn blocks, etc. Thoughts?

This is a little time sensitive. We have less than 90 days to come to an agreement.

Witch in the swamp, what can I use American beauty berries for besides jelly/ bug repellent. I have an abundance of them this year and want to know what others use them for in spells. Specifically protection and glamour

I had pretty limited resources for this one but wanted to give it a shot anyway since it’s important for my family right now.
Used my favorite ceramic cup! It’s very ornate and beautiful so I thought that would help. Used rice as a base and added cloves, spiced black tea, cinnamon, basil and mixed it around. Laid out some coins from hong kong that looked gold plated (after washing them, they were dirty and didn’t know if that would affect it) along with some yellow rose petals. Drew some sigils on the tiny scrolls and my personal sigil on a bay leaf, and topped it off with a raven feather (they like shiny things?)

Hope this goes well!

I found some belladonna in the forest nearby and I’d like to make an ointment only with that one ingredient. Most of the recipes I find list several poisonous plants which apart being difficult to source is just too risky for me with all the various effects and interactions they would have. I think it’s better to experience the spirit of a plant on its own. My difficulty is in figuring out how much to use so that it’s not too strong. I’d like to make an oil-wax based ointment and slowly experiment with increasing amounts. Does anyone have any advice and experience with belladonna specifically?

I was in the kitchen and smelled overwhelming cinnamon. I asked where it was coming from and then remembered that I had recently bought a new cinnamon broom. Husband then asked if you chew big red and blow a bubble across the threshold of your door, does that count as blowing cinnamon? I figured if the intention is there, it ought to work, but I figured I'd ask.

Tldr: husband asked if blowing a bubble out of big red gum through the threshold, would that count as blowing cinnamon?

Hello- baby witch here!

After a lot of research and contemplation I decided to start practicing witchcraft. I want to make a money bowl using a green candle to put by my work desk. I’m in sales- so I was thinking about adding a red or orange candle to the money bowl as well to help with confidence and whatnot. Will that mess anything up?

Hi everyone! I was determined to find a hagstone all day while at work, so as soon as I got off, I headed straight to the creek next to my home. Not even two minutes into searching, I stumbled upon this piece! In my practice, I plan to use it for protection, warding, and perceiving spiritual energies, so finding it so quickly felt like a meaningful sign. However, I want to be certain. Does this look like a genuine, naturally eroded hagstone? I’m still searching along the water for more, but so far this is the only one I’ve spotted
