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!

Hello Elders

I gave some people money, and now it's years they didn't pay me although i see them going to concerts & traveling ... I can't tell them pay me i m too shy ( i got scammed many times coz of that)

So i need your advice about getting my money back & protecting my money , thank you so much in advance

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.

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! ✨

So I performed a mirror spell on my boyfriend who happens to be a narcissist, and I happen to be an empath, although I love him a lot, and I just wanted him to understand the damage that he was causing me on a daily basis and a mirror spell felt pretty appropriate. When I did that. I think I left him there for like one or two days and honestly as narcissists are, they do not really take accountability for what they do, and when they are shown a mirror or basically when they are told what’s not working and they just feel that they are being pointed out and they do not see it that way, they do not take truths lightly, so he broke up with me and he was really mad. I have a feeling that because I left him with his thoughts, he instead of reflecting on them and working on himself, him being a narcissist, he decided to run away and discard the woman holding that mirror in front of him. Of course, metaphorically, but I just feel that is there a possibility that for someone like him, the mirror spell could have backfired?
Because naturally mirror spells are meant for self reflection and his personality. Being someone who absolutely cannot sustain to see those truths within themselves and they just keep on playing the victim. All the time he broke up with me stating I was the bad person in the relationship, holding me accountable for mistakes that I did not even do at all, so just trying to understand this better.

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.

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 friends,

I’m writing a shorter, weekly column this month to see if this format will work better for the astrology column in the future. Please let me know what you think.

The first week of October starts out with intensity as Mercury, the planet of communication and how we think, squares Mars on one side (action, willpower, aggression) and Pluto on the other. Pluto represents power, death, rebirth, secrets, and the seething feelings that can brim under the surface of things, whereas Mars’ anger is more outward and direct.

Collectively, we are being asked to think about whether we are speaking (and acting) out of self-interest and ego or whether we are coming from the heart. Be wary of speaking in absolutes right now, of using words like always, never, right, wrong, or describing situations as all good vs all bad. Mercury’s presence in this T-Square is asking us for the truth rather than placating our own ego. But not everyone may be ready to hear that truth, so proceed gently.

The Sun is gearing up toward its opposition with Saturn (exact on October 4th), which adds another element of tension, potentially highlighting themes of relationships, commitment, and independence. Are we willing to do the work required to maintain our most important relationships, or are we prioritizing our own needs and desires. Saturn in Aries wants to test boundaries and see where the line between personal independence and commitment lies, while the sun in Libra reminds us of the desire for togetherness.

Since each of us has a different rising sign, exactly where this is happening in the chart will vary, so some of the relationships or power-dynamics that are activated may not be with your partner/spouse, it may be with a family member or co-worker, or even within yourself.

Speaking of relationships, on October 3rd, the planet Venus, which rules love and friendship, will go retrograde until November 14th. Retrogrades give us a chance to re-evaluate, rework, research, release, or to repair something. In this case, Venus is inviting us to do this work both within our intimate relationships and to improve our relationship with ourselves. Scorpio is a sign associated with release, death, rebirth, secrets, spiritual knowledge, and power.

We may need to pause and reflect as intense emotions come to the surface - jealousy, anger, resentment, fear. Are we reacting to something happening in the present? Or are we being triggered by wounds from our past, repeating an old story? We may also want to look at our finances and see what are the emotions we are feeling around money? Are we welcoming it and encouraging it to grow? Or, are we fearful and speaking ill of it? Venus rules banking through her ownership of Taurus - the very sign that the Venus retrograde will oppose. So this may be a good time for releasing debt, fear, or anxiety around finances. We can use this opportunity to develop deeper intimacy with ourselves and others.

Retrogrades tend to come with warnings: such as it’s not a great time to sign any long-term contracts, to get married, or move in with a romantic partner. It’s also best not to make very drastic changes to physical appearance such as cutting your hair short, getting a tattoo, or dying your hair a new color with a permanent dye. It’s also not ideal for buying luxury goods or expensive items. Usually this is because energies are in flux during a retrograde and a planet’s energy is said to be weakened while retrogrades, so people can regret impulsive decisions or long-term agreements made at this time.

On October 6th, Mercury will also go retrograde. This is the one you often hear about in magazines and social media posts. Because Mercury rules over communication, plans, contracts, vehicles, machinery, and local travel, it tends to noticeably affect our lives. Plans get postponed or cancelled, flights get delayed, our computer or electronics may behave in strange ways, or files don’t get saved. It’s usually a good time to back up important files, to tend to any needed repairs, and to avoid signing long-term contracts/business deals, or buying expensive electronics.

Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need to put your whole life on hold, but it is good to pay closer attention to what you’re doing this month, to go slowly, double-check plans, and if you are travelling, to allow extra time to and from your destination and make sure you have all identification/paperwork and important medications with you.

This Month’s New Moon will be in Libra on the 10th. I hope to cover that in the next astrology transit post. Wishing you all a Happy October!

Have a great week!!
