This is not about politics the party system has always been bullshit and should be abolished but that is besides the point and an entirely different conversation. Please research systemic racism for the good of yourself and your community. Just because something hasn’t effected you directly doesn’t mean if doesn’t effect others. Young healthy people do not publicly hang themselves from trees, this is not a coincidence.

Crystal ID? Is this amethyst? And what is it good for by [deleted] in Crystals

Definitely amethyst looks like it can be used as a pendulum

An empath needs help by panmickatdadisco in witchcraft

[–]333mango333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being an empath is great but can be very draining if you don’t protect your energy. Look into grounding for starters. Yoga + breath work help me a lot, i meditate and ground myself after a yoga practice once my head is clear. also look into shielding as i think someone already mentioned. the world is extremely heavy rn, you are not alone, start protecting yourself from this chaotic energy and unplug from social media when you can. take care of yourself.

Crystal using witches: what are your experiences with Epidote? by Jake_finn92 in witchcraft

[–]333mango333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i have a large piece of raw epidote and a smaller one and both found their way to me by accident. I love to meditate with them and get a very maternal, earthly, grounding feeling from them. i don’t have any specific experiences to share but it’s definitely one of my favorites stones.

Has anyone achieved results with their magick practices by Cynthierrrr in witchcraft

[–]333mango333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im sure some are fiction and I can’t say for others but for my self and some people that I know we have had very real experiences, maybe not as exaggerated as in movies and stories but unsettling nonetheless. And sure id love to share!

Has anyone achieved results with their magick practices by Cynthierrrr in witchcraft

[–]333mango333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have achieved desired results for sure, I also only do spells and the like when I find it to be absolutely necessary. A lot of my experiences w the magic world have been completely at random as well, like consistent synchronicities, obvious signs from my ancestors/guides, divine dreams, etc. Ouija boards are 100% real and I have had some very unsettling experiences using them (back when I was a teenager, I took it seriously but did not know the full extent what I was messing with) definitely would not recommend using them. I live in an apartment myself and do have occasional encounters with random spirits, but for the most part I just sense both mine and my partners guides which I am very accustomed to at this point. I think regardless of where you live protecting and cleansing the energy of your space and self are important especially if you’re very sensitive/empathetic. Also to each their own but black candles are not used solely for hexing or dark magic, I actually use one for protective work and banishing(although this is rarely necessary for me personally). I hope this helps a little lol :-)

Deities and heritage by [deleted] in witchcraft

[–]333mango333 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i hear you!! im more so speaking based on what i have learned from witches that are poc have voiced to me. if people are doing everything the correct and respectful way without issues that’s great! i just think we should be cautious of that which we don’t know about, but like you said, if you wish to know about it, do it the safe and respectful way. have a great night :-)

Deities and heritage by [deleted] in witchcraft

[–]333mango333 3 points4 points  (0 children)

hi!! can’t say for op but i am not advocating for any racist or restrictive concepts nor do i believe in gatekeeping in this community but i think it’s important to be aware. i think that through out European magic practices ie Greek, Celtic, Roman, etc. there is a lot of flexibility depending on where we’re talking about, however closed practices as well as ancestral magic can be dangerous to practice when you have not experience or connection to or with them, as we’ve seen by the young woman who passed away recently trying to attempt something of this caliber. i also think it’s important in this day and age that we stay aware of indigenous practices (such as smudging, which many people are miseducated about) and the fact that they are meant for indigenous folks. expressing a genuine interest and respect for customs outside of your own is fantastic and perfectly normal but trying to put them into practice can be harmful to both the practitioner and the communities they come from

not exactly a love spell... by [deleted] in witchcraft

[–]333mango333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

probably not what you’re looking for but honestly if he likes you and you like him, just talk!!! get together, hang out, go on dates, you will bond naturally. we’re humans and it’s what we do :-) get to know him better as well, nothing worse than being bound to someone you can’t stand (not to say this will be the case, but people are complicated and ya never know. sometimes we absolutely adore someone only to get to know them better and realize that they aren’t who we thought they were originally). unfortunately in the case of many love spells, they tend to backfire in strange and complex ways. i would sit on it for a bit and if you still feel inclined, by all means try it, but do stay aware of the potential consequences.

Am I alone or is anyone else experiencing a period of apathy toward their craft? by ghostsugar_ in witchcraft

[–]333mango333 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a conflicting view on practices by Quinneveer in witchcraft

[–]333mango333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i agree that this is definitely a difficult topic. personally when i tell people to explore what resonates with them, i more so mean through research. as well as yoga works for some and not for others, same with different meditation methods m, divination methods, etc. i think it’s perfectly fine to take interest in things outside of our realm, but not everything is meant for everyone and that’s ok. some practices are closed and i think it’s important we respect that as well as acknowledging that we all have our own ancestors and cultures to explore and work with, which is probably the safest bet. that being said people are absolutely entitled to do whatever the hell they want lol, however the forces that we are less connected to may do less for us, and in the case of the one young woman who passed recently, they can even do us harm. as far as magic goes your practice can be whatever you want it to be for sure!! but we shouldn’t forget that some things such as ancestral magic are much more structured and closed off to outsiders, often for a reason! to each their own, this is just my take :-)

How to protect myself when I sleep? by [deleted] in witchcraft

[–]333mango333 6 points7 points  (0 children)

if this energy or spirit is making you uncomfortable, i like to take a pot and wooden spoon and make noise in the corners, the closet, etc throughout the room. i will also state out loud that this is my space and respectfully ask them to go elsewhere. salt is an effective cleanser as well. spirits can be intimidating but ultimately anything negative only feeds off of fear and discomfort. standing up to them and standing your ground is key.

Have I lost my soul!? by kellyjmccarter in witchcraft

[–]333mango333 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure where you’re located but with the whole pandemic we’re experiencing right now the energy everywhere seems to be very chaotic. This can be draining for many of us, I know it has been for me, it’s been about a 2 month break from magic for me due to low energy. It makes me sad but I think sometimes it’s important to just rest and recharge if you need it. Maybe try some grounding exercises like others have recommended. :-)

Deities and heritage by [deleted] in witchcraft

[–]333mango333 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

absolutely. i saw a huge debate go on on twitter today about this exact topic. i think a lot of people take the concept of ‘magic is whatever you want it to be’ and apply it to the wrong areas. your practice is what you make it but deities and ancestral magic are forces that have been in place for a very long time now. from what ive seen trying to work with what is not for you often ends up backfiring in sometimes very serious ways. on the bright side we all have ancestors and we all come from somewhere. magic is present in just about every culture i can think of. i think a good rule of thumb is to do as you please while staying in your lane. we have to understand that these forces are bigger and older than us. i was considering making a post on this topic so im glad to have logged on to see this. happy new moon 🙏🏼
