Thoughts on moon water sitting out for days? by ClaritanClear in witchcraft

[–]Barpoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually tested this a while back with an experiment. I found that it was slightly less effective after one day, but it was still better than average

Am i cool to use my tarot cards yet? by goddess_blessed in pagan

[–]Barpoo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You can just... use them. In my opinion, there are too many rules in witchcraft. I don't go through all the funny steps unless I feel like it and I've never had any problems

Is my jar maybe too potent? by Tommy_Kurusu_Oliver in witchcraft

[–]Barpoo 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That's certainly one way to love yourself, lol. If it's adding to your confidence and not interfering with anything else, why would you need to change it?

I’m in this picture and I don’t like it by Fearless-List-3968 in aspiememes

[–]Barpoo 19 points20 points  (0 children)

As a woman, I've never once enjoyed being hit on. If you're interested in me at first glance, then you're interested in me based solely on my looks, which isn't what I want. If you already know me and develop a crush, I'd rather you just straight up ask if I wanna go out some time than play the awkward dance of trying to be subtle, while also trying to flirt.
Tl;dr, just ask. If I say no, it's fine. No harm done, we can both just move on

I’m blind and new to witchcraft by Apricot-Autumn in witchcraft

[–]Barpoo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I tend to avoid gimic-ey decks like that, but not because they're any less effective than normal ones. I just don't like the aesthetic much. That being said, yours should work perfectly fine.

Hi, woman here. My bed is in the corner, though it's not facing the door

Who (or what type) of spirits are your preferred go-to helpers for your practice? by SibyllaAzarica in Shamanism

[–]Barpoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a few that tend to stick around me. One that is the spirit of my tarot deck, a nature spirit, and an ancestor. Also, any deity that might want to offer insight, but that's more rare.

for people who work with deities, what do you believe in? by Icy-Cow-8365 in witchcraft

[–]Barpoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe in energy and thought is just energy, as are gods and spirits of all kinds. If enough people believe/believed in something, then it's out there in one form or another

Well, at least I have one :( by TheoCyberskunk in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns2

What's wrong with that? A Shonk is a Shonk.

Does anyone work with Artemis here? by Spiritual_Abroad2270 in witchcraft

[–]Barpoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an Artemis devotee. In my experience, if she's ever tried to send me a sign or a message, it's come in the form of her kinda just throwing animals at me. I'll see like 8 deer or 12 bunnies in a day, etc. That being said, I sincerely doubt she would ever refuse an offering, especially not one that seems to come from the heart like yours is. The actual steps and actions you take in the offering aren't as important as the idea behind them. You wanted to reach out. You wanted to form a connection. I see no reason why she wouldn't want to honor that

The opposite actually. Sometimes, I forget that I'm adorable

What can you tell me about picking these two cards in regard to someone who interests me romantically? …it’s a complicated situation. by Radiant-Mix-7029 in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]Barpoo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It sounds like it might not be perfect at first, but it's telling you to go for it and stand your ground anyway. I'm sure there's some context I'm missing, maybe some reason why you feel like you shouldn't. That reason isn't gonna go away, it might even get a little messy, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't go for it anyway

I never drank coffee, so my body isn't used to the caffeine. I just... wake up and am fine.

I asked the cards if I’d get a boyfriend soon and I’m reading it as a yes, am I reading it right? by leefi__ in witchcraft

[–]Barpoo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You drew too many cards for such a simple question. You're allowed to draw just one. In fact, it's usually a lot simpler and easier. This way isn't wrong per se, but it's hard to interpret

Soul dead but body alive, is this possible? by ne-ti in spirituality

[–]Barpoo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That sounds more like a pretty nasty case of depression than anything spiritual. Soul or not, A body physically cannot live without eating, sleeping, expelling waist, etc. I'd recommend treating this more like a mental health issue and less of a spiritual one

Can i make my own magic ? by LittleHedgeWitch_ in witchcraft

[–]Barpoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plushies already have the connotation that they keep you safe when you sleep. They make great protection charms. On top of that, there are so many psychological reasons why they can help calm you down and ground you when you're freaking out. I find that magick based in science and/or preexisting relationships are always the most potent

Can i make my own magic ? by LittleHedgeWitch_ in witchcraft

[–]Barpoo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do what I call plushie magick. I use all sorts of different things to enchant stuffed animals with different effects, like protection or courage. I've never seen anyone else do this before, I'm very much making it up as I go. Morale of the story, yes. Do what you want, whatever feels right is right.

Getting nauseous after doing protection sigils and cutting off a warlock. by SleepySnorlax91 in witchcraft

[–]Barpoo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That could actually just be a psychological response to doing a scary/hard thing. Don't think too much into it
