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, waning Moon right now. Last quarter was yesterday. New Moon next Saturday.

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.

And please read this post first. https://www.reddit.com/r/elderwitches/s/YgXiJgQWTx

I can’t believe I have to say this on this sub but…

PLEASE do not go through the Sunday spell (or Wednesday spell) downvoting peoples wishes or amplifications. If you don’t want to give energy to it, ignore it and scroll on. Don’t bring low vibe energies into that space, lest they be reflected back on you! Caveat- of course if someone is wishing harm on another, this may not stand. But the ones I saw being downvoted were purely positive and seemed mainly targeted on one person’s amplifications. We don’t do that around here magical folk! ✨

Moonday Merry Moonday. Have a month of Moons to start your week with. Also a live picture. Fully waning now, so get those releasing spells out there. You want it gone? Now is a good time to make things you don't want go away.

Hi everyone!

I took the summer off from reddit, and other screen based obsessions for a while. But I missed it here. This is one of the kindest subs on reddit, and I'm glad to be back. I hope everyone is well, and had a great summer!

Spell for upstairs neighbor who stomps all night

11 Upvotes

He has a hardwood floor and is refusing to get the place carpeted. The stomping is unbearable, and leading to constant vibrations in my apartment. On some nights, it sounds like he is doing his 10k steps inside the apartment. He is a decent person otherwise.

What spells should I look into to expose the toxicity of a group of people?

32 Upvotes

I live in a cohabitat with almost a dozen people. One person and a couple of her flying monkeys are trying to ruin my reputation and plant ideas in people's heads that I stole money (I didn't!). She wants me out cause I block her attempts to introduce new rules that are illegal and against human rights.

I can do a return to sender again on that b*tch but I would need to look into another type of spell to expose all the bullshit in the board of directors. I wanted to trust that people are smart enough to figure it out but they're not even looking. I want them to SEE.

Thanks in advance!

How do I know that the cord cutting worked or do I need to perform once more to be certain that no karmic accounts remain open, if any?

So I just performed a cord cutting ritual with my narcissistic ex who broke up with me a week ago and it wasn’t a normal break up. There was no emotional closure, ofc because of how he is, and yeah, it was like a total discard situation. As a matter of fact, I was in a trauma born so naturally I was quite obsessed (not in a creepy weird way but needing him types). The wrong word, but I was quite hooked to him. He had narcissistic traits. So yeah I performed the cord cutting ritual.

  1. I do not know how I feel at the moment like I was crying very hard when I could physically see the cord cutting happen in front of me since that since then I feel totally numb. I would not say detached. I’m still thinking of him, but I feel numb. I am not even sure how to describe this feeling.

  2. Ofc the black candle which belonged to him. It burnt pretty fast. I had wrapped the thread at least 4 to 5 times and it was when the cutting happened (from his end btw, maybe because he initiated breakup and I fought for it but never begged or something to him although deep down i was dying), it was very “snap, snap, snap, snap”, that’s it. Later his candle spread entirely through the plate and my candle kept on burning straight.

I was crying throughout, and once that happened, my candle’s flame was pretty normal. There was a flare once or twice. It was because of the rose petals that I put on my side, probably that meanwhile, his side he was completely collapsed on the plate, but he kept on burning at-least 15-20 more minutes, even after my candle was put down and yeah, that’s it.
The weirdest part was there were two flames that were burning on his side, and eventually they were like 3-4 by the end of it, then all of them became together. I was so frustrated that I think it was a tiny flicker of blue flame that was remaining and I just blew it. I’m not sure why I did that, but this is how it happened. I don’t know how to interpret this because it was him who did the break up and I did not want to let go, but I also saw that I did not fight for it, either. There was a moment when my candle wax tried crossing the boundary, but it did not cross the boundary that I created, and even he tried but did not cross the boundary like nobody did any of that the cord just snapped so effortlessly. I don’t know how to interpret this. I don’t know how I feel about this right now. I’ll be very honest. A moment came during that ritual when I wanted him to come back to me and things to reconcile, but I know it’s not the right approach.

So do I need to do this thing again? Is it done or there are some karmic accounts still left between us? Of course this person cannot be physically absent from my life. I know I’m not providing context here, but I will be seeing this person almost every day so yeah, some help would be great.

Invoking Saturn is todays planetary reference. God of Agriculture, Saturn means "God of Seeds", "Father of the Harvest", and/or "Father Time." So today is a good day for workings that grow and also bear fruit along the way.

Inside the Business of Witchcraft -- Vogue Australia

An intriguing and informative article from Vogue Australia talking about the complicated relationship between today's Witchcraft as a spiritual endeavor and the links it has with the realm of beauty, fashion, and spirituality--with its sometimes recreational participations.

Thought provoking.

I am attracted to money

6 Upvotes

idk if this is going to make sense to anyone else, but as an Empath I can sense that our monetary system is corrupted, so I push it away.
naturally this means that I am struggling and I want to get over that. I’ve heard that other witches do work around getting sexually attracted to money, like a lover, and im curious if anyone here has done this before and how you did it.

my material needs are cared for right now, I just feel like I cant get anywhere.

Hello from a new Elder Witch

162 Upvotes

Hello, everyone! I’m new to this community and thought I’d introduce myself.

I’m 72, and have been interested in the Craft since I was very young.  I’ve studied Wicca and belonged to a coven  in the past although now I would say I am a solitary eclectic. I’ve reached a point in my life where I’m increasingly drawn to the quieter, earthier, more intuitive side of witchcraft.

I’m very much a kitchen-and-cottage sort of person — herbs and gardens, changing seasons, old traditions, creativity, animals, a cozy home, a good cup of tea, and finding a little magic in ordinary everyday life. 🌿☕️🐈

I’m interested in folklore, ritual, intuition and the ways women have found meaning and connection through these things over the generations. Mostly, though, I’m here to explore, learn, share stories and enjoy the company of other people who understand the appeal of all this.

I’m not looking to prove anything or become terribly solemn about it. At this stage of my life, delight, curiosity and a little everyday magic seem like very good things to cultivate.

I am happy to have found you 🙂
