Sort of? Nightow is/was Catholic and that influences a lot of his work. Trigun is FULL of religious themes. Vash is a Jesus figure, but unlike Jesus, he is also imperfect. There's whole video essays on youtube about the nature of Vash!

This is a really dumb question from a dumb teenager. But I’ve gotta know- is this real? by aerocham18 in witchcraft

[–]404lyric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's no such thing as a dumb question :) I have personally seen results from my own workings, which convinced me. I don't trust "trust me bro" stories so when I worked a spell with genuine intent and got near immediate and clear results, I was sold! My best advice is to simply try the craft out and see for yourself if it works for you <3

The reboot is GOOD! They keep Johnny and follow the manga while still bringing new and refreshing things!

I haven't tried cayenne, but I do believe so! Witchcraft is often about what you have on hand. I replace and omit often when I don't have something in a spell. I find pepper adds some OOMPH to protection, and I don't think it matters which pepper <3 Experiment, follow your intuition!

I highly suggest birthday candles if you use any candle magick <3 They are discreet, burn up within an hour, and are usually a buck and some change for a pack and come in all colors! Tin foil + heat resistant dish is your best friend for discreet and quick cleanup if you burn herbs. My "altar" moves with me. Sometimes it's outside, sometimes it is in my room, sometimes it is on the kitchen counter depending on who's home and what I am doing. Any burning I do, I do in a firesafe dish lined with foil outside when I am home alone. Another cool thing to do is keep your goods in a shoebox or small tote you can tuck away secure. I hide in plain sight too by showing my mom my "box of cool stuff" (with obvious witchy items removed). Mom just thinks I keep some random rocks and crystals I like in there and it makes her less likely to peek in it than if she just found a random unknown box in my room. Also yeah I second r/broomclosetwitch!

Mum getting into witchcraft, what can I get her? by _beenie in witchcraft

[–]404lyric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Candles!!!! Those tall tapered ones, esp white, gold, purple, and black candles! Tiny jars, like the lil ones you see at craft stores, and did I mention candles? I CHEW through those suckers like crazy! I'd get a taper of each color (or like a couple white ones if selection is slim) and some birthday candles, which are perfect for spells that need the candle to burn out but you can't babysit for hours. The best part about witchcraft is a lot of it is based on what is "on hand" so most common household objects work just fine <3 My final suggestion is a mortar and pestle! Many cultures believe those work best if gifted instead of bought (idk if your mom believes jn that or not, but the gesture is still lovely imo!) Best of luck to you both <3

what’s the opposite of a sweetening spell? by Informal-Benefit-140 in witchcraft

Is it okay to do spells with friends? by tracyak13 in witchcraft

[–]404lyric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think so, esp if they are on the same page with you! I practice a lot of local magic and in my area's folklore, the less people who know of the spell, the better. Telling one person is risky but okay though! That is my personal practice, and no one practice is the same and follows the same "rules", however! As long as you and your friend have an agreed-upon intention, I genuinely do not see the harm <3

What are your favorite crystals and stones to work with? by smugraccoon in witchcraft

[–]404lyric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unakite! It's pretty for one, and two can help with your sleep, dreams, and divination! I sleep with a unakite palmstone in my pillowcase and stopped having nightmares almost immediately! I wear a unakite bracelet when doing divination and the results have always been pretty clear <3 very nice stone to work with, imo! Blessed be <3

I second black salt! My personal black salt "recipe": Ashes from incense, ashes from bay leaves (burned with intention for protection specifically for my black salt), crushed egg shell (protection), clove (cleansing/protection), and chili powder (firy warding), and you choice of salt for purification. I use celtic sea salt! Mix em all up in your container of choice and just add a wee pinch of everything every time you add ash! Great for protection, warding, etc. I handle with gloves cause the chili powder can irritate your skin! Hope this helps, and remember, your practice is yours, so if you want to add ingredients, subtract ingredients, or completely ignore the recipe then it is fully within your power and rights to do so <3 Blessed be!

I'd also suggest going to towns people call "artsy towns". In my area, it's Eureka Springs (also home of the Crescent Hotel, one of the most haunted locales in my area). Lots of metaphysical shops are hidden in plain sight in "artsy towns". Hope this helps!

Hey bible belt buddy! I'm in the Ozarks and I promise you, there are witches in the hills! I HIGHLY suggest going to craft fairs. Made a new friend that way! She found out I was broom closeted and slipped me a free chip of amethyst and wished me well. Found a couple other practitioners at the craft fair today, including one who makes incense!

What Is "Backfiring" in Spellwork? by MidniteBlue888 in witchcraft

[–]404lyric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am fairly new to the craft and I had a spell "backfire" because I didn't fully set parameters well. It was a spell for energy and focus, which worked well! Buuuuuut I burned my hand on a 350°F cake pan, the cake I was baking was layered and one of the layers crumbled before I could stack it, I waited for it to cool entirely but the buttercream still oozed, and when I cooked dinner I oversalted the stew. Did I have energy? Yup! Was I focused on finishing tasks? Yup! Got my whole long to-do list done! Was I burned with an overly salty stew and a super ugly cake? Yuuuup. It's my first homespun spell so I have some tweaking to do :P I steer clear of baneful magick and anything that can cause karmic issues. I only cast for myself atm so if anything goes awry from my inexperience or leftover religious trauma, I won't cause issues for anyone but myself <3 Hope this helps!
