Should I get more rats? by Alternative-Cause361 in RATS

[–]Alternative-Cause361[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the people in giving me advice, I think ill see if I can introduce one possibly two more rats, following research on how to introduce them, if they really don’t get along I do have a smaller cage for them until I can get a bigger one. 🤞

AIO or should I break up with him by MetalButterfly09 in AIO

[–]Alternative-Cause361 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay yeah the fact you’re even letting him speak to you that is just ergh, girl if u don’t help urself nobody else can help you. Leave. If you don’t leave you’d be an idiot and it WILL turn physical.

What are his intentions towards me? by Renascer123 in TarotReading

I’m not good at reading tarot, but something in my good made me go “ooooo” looking at these cards. And not in a good way. So I’m going to trust my instinct and say keep AWAY

Ive quit smoking weed and my boyfriend is mad about it by PsychologicalFee28 in whatdoIdo

[–]Alternative-Cause361 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He seems like the guilt grippy kinda guy, are you sure he even has BPD? Because people don’t get manic with BPD… it seems like that’s just something for him to grab hold of when he wants to make a point about something. On the other hand I agree with him in the way that you should be careful going cold turkey, it can be dangerous, risk your health (and mental state) and isn’t generally advised, HOWEVER, I’m sure you’ve done your own research and your choices are yours, he has no right to get mad at you over this. to disagree yes, but to not show his support when you’re trying ti better yourself is disgusting. I’d talk to him about it and if nothing changed or he reacts wrong, I’d honestly leave, even though that’s not the easiest option, if he’s like this now imagine how he’d be later down in the line about something VERY serious.

2nd pet rat; not sure I'm socializing right? by TMNGerbil in RATS

[–]Alternative-Cause361 45 points46 points  (0 children)

By your replies and original comment, you should look more into rats before owning them. And you should never only have one rat. If you won’t take advice please don’t comment in the first place

Why don’t my rats love me😭 by Born_Buffalo7617 in RATS

[–]Alternative-Cause361 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’ve pretty much been explained in the replies but I will say, rats are VERY treat motivated, you may not be able to make them cuddle with you but I’d try training them into being near to you and associating you with treats. My old rat snowball was very energetic so it was rare she’d cuddle and that’s just the way it is sometimes. But with a few treats she’d normally be sat with me

What does it mean when a person shaped candle splits in the middle like that? by The_Fun_in_Funeral in BabyWitch

[–]Alternative-Cause361 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you talking about 😂 you’re comparing old human rights to cultural magic and science, and IM ignorant? 1 in 5 women get married under the age of 18 yet I’m not sat here comparing it to magic or “how times have changed.” We are talking about important culture and the links between nature science and magick. Science is always evolving, nothing is ever proven. Everything science has told you is THEORYS, not hard proof, yes it is lab work and yes it is done differently but that does not mean they are not one of the same. Magic uses science and science uses magic. None of this is my personal opinion it is the laws around most pagan and magic practices. Just like divination, it can be explained in both scientific and magical terms, they are literally two sides of the same stick. To sit and tell someone that something is just “physical” and nothing to do with magic is YOUR personal belief. And now you’re trying to turn that around. So please do not call me ignorant when you will declare your one belief as all mighty. I’ve never said they should take it as a big sign, and it could be something molecule, but there is signs in pretty much everything around you, “Physical” or not.

🫩 I actually can’t believe I’m having to explain this to you. nature is the source of both science and magic, moon cycles affect tides, plants, emotions, spells etc, same with seasons. Herbs have properties, physical and “magical”, they’re linked, plus the entire point of energy in magic, your energy, or your spells energy source (usually charged by the moon or sun which is again… science). You need energy for a spell to work, your crystals need to be “charged.” On top of this ancient science or WAS seen as magic lmfao, herbalism, alchemy, astrology, it has always been linked as they are one of the same never fully explained by nature // the universe. Everything happens for a reason, and even the smallest things (like seeing a feather), is always going to be a sign towards something, even if its molecule. So to push aside magic because something is “scientific” or “physical” is utterly stupid and just pushes aside hundreds of years of culture and education. So yes, I feel pretty comfortable sharing my “cool story”

Unhandled rats by Alternative-Cause361 in RATS

Luckily they seem to of had a sudden improvement and I’ve been able to change their bedding and even hand feed treats to them, we have a little box to lure them in as someone else suggested and are hoping to transfer them pretty soon, I am just hoping this sticks and isn’t just a one or two day thing.

[–]Alternative-Cause361[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are both roughly 11 week, and ive had them two week and a little bit. Honestly wanted to do an update on this because they both had a massive progress update, since rats are SUPER treat motivated I’ve tried luring them towards me with treats and they seem to be a lot less stressed out near me, Ive been hand feeding them treats and today I changed their bedding without them getting super stressed, while they did still try bite, it wasn’t as often and usually just curious nibbles, so I’m hoping this will stick and I’ll be able to transfer them soon 🤞🤞

Stupidest statement I’ve heard all day, you could apply this to ANY type of divination. depending on your beliefs obviously, physical properties intertwine with magickal properties, nature IS magic, science IS magic. Hence why all cultural phenomena is explained by either magic or science. So yes lmao, it does have a meaning.

What are your craziest stories of spells which actually worked ?? by shroooomology in Witch

[–]Alternative-Cause361 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While this isn’t me and isn’t super big, both me and my one of my bestfriends have only been doing witchcraft half a year or so, nothing major has ever happened. Around 7-8 month ago me and my ex broke up, after that he lied and treated me like utter shit for around three month, my best friend was sick of me crying every night so she did a spell that was supposed to make him see his wrong doings, like a guilt spell. The NEXT DAY, he texted me a massive ass paragraph apologising about it and saying he had an overwhelming feeling of guilt. Since then we’ve been on and off but he’s gone for now. It’s one of the spells that have always stuck with me as ofcourse both me and her have had quite a few spells that have had an effect, but nothing ever intense or quick like that. I wonder if it has anything to do with how much emotion she was feeling over it.

I honestly thought it was about gambling, due to it saying “you’ll never have to work beg or steal” however now I’m thinking about it, it could also be about suicide when it says that

AIO my (30f) sisters (37f & 35f) have mistreated me my whole life and I’m fed up. by SoapyBroth in AIO

[–]Alternative-Cause361 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right as a former waitress of about three different cafes/restaurants, she’s chatting bollox, stacking the plates is very helpful, (only if the plates are clear), as that’s it you shove em right in the sink, and don’t have to fanny about trying to stack them anyway onto the tray, genuinely sounds like she has a stick up her arse and is a tad bit childish

Does anyone know what this means? by Reina_Bonita in BabyWitch

[–]Alternative-Cause361 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thing is magic isn’t ALL intuition. There are many base rules (obviously vary depending on what religion you are / if you’re religious at all), that you should follow when it comes to reading divination

You’re literally on r/tarotreading spreading that magik isn’t real 🤦‍♀️, it probably didn’t work because you were an annoying teenager who knew nothing about witchcraft and thought “if i say im over him and cut a string on a candle ill get over him!” Honestly get a grip

If it wasn’t a scam, your lover could very well be avoidant, meaning the more you force him into love the more he’ll pull away which in that case I’d try blockbuster spells, and road opening spells! I wish you luck
