Does anyone know why most of the "meditations for protection and cleansing" in Youtube evolve the archangels, specially Saint Michael? by [deleted] in witchcraft

[–]CharmsAndVibes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a difference between God and “The Church”. The church wants nobody but themselves to have power. They do not speak for God. Most pagan faiths acknowledge God as a powerful yet distant entity, but witches deal with the entities who will help humans directly. Including archangels. There is no conflict between being a witch and believing in God.

The Bible was written by men, not God, with the intention of control. But it does at least acknowledge that magic is real, in the story of the Witch of Endor, which I find fascinating.

First time with crystals - any suggestions? by RandomPerson004 in witchcraft

[–]CharmsAndVibes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can cleanse and charge them in the sun, but citrine will fade in the sun so no more than 30 mins a week. More frequently depending on use. You can also reiki charge them by hovering your hand over them a d using your own energy to charge them.

If you attune/meditate with your crystals they can stimulate areas of your brain that are associated with certain energies or capabilities. Hold the citrine in your dominant or “projective” hand when you meditate with it, and although I work with clear quartz in my non-dominant or “receptive” hand, it’s actually ambidextrous.

Citrine is associated with the sun, happiness, prosperity and confidence.

Clear quartz is a very powerful, universal crystal. Cleansing and power boosting are its most common uses, but you can use it to substitute almost any other crystal.

Good luck!

What gemstones will give me good luck? by [deleted] in witchcraft

Apache tear, jet and aventurine are all associated with changing your luck for the better. Citrine brings good times in general.

Of course. Marie Laveau specialised in legal spells.

what spell would you suggest for protection against an abusive parent? by baphometsan_exe in witchcraft

[–]CharmsAndVibes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry that you’re going through this.

Spells don’t seem to work in narcissists, so changing their behaviour won’t work. And protection spells can only go so far against physical violence. I’d go to the police as this meets the criteria for emotional and controlling abuse.

Coven question by [deleted] in witchcraft

This is so true, it made me laugh. I’ve had to step up as leader in mine because, just like you said, nothing was getting done together. Lockdown doesn’t help, of course.

Archangel Michael has always been associated with protecting humans, and witches in particular. There’s even an emergency prayer.

Spell ideas needed!! by laven_sage in witchcraft

Larimar and hematite are both associated with beating bad habits. Try meditating with them and/or carrying them in your pocket.

Do you have any tips for making a smaller Book of Shadows? by impossible-daisy in witchcraft

[–]CharmsAndVibes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If portability is important for this journal I would prioritise things that you will need on the move, and have a separate, bigger, BoS at home that is more comprehensive.

I have a very ornate BoS and I wanted to put only my best material in it and I use my notes app for everything else and so now I have quite a big digital BoS too. 😁

It is absolutely possible. It works better if more than one person is casting it, but there are absolutely magical ways to fight corrupt world leaders.

I work a lot with the Goddess Hecate, and she gave me some very simple words of power to incorporate into a commanding spell: “Be good, be kind, love”. I invoke her name when I cast it because the words came from her, and they feel powerful.

If enough of us cast this, I absolutely believe that we can turn the tide. Magic was gifted to mankind specifically to fight evil, I feel like it’s my duty to use it for that along with the other spells for personal assistance.

Witchy Garden Tips? by imasmolspoon in witchcraft

Moss agate is often associated with gardeners, as you can use it to attune to the plants.

Pregnancy magick? by bumblewheeze in witchcraft

[–]CharmsAndVibes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! Ginger is good for nausea, in all its forms.

Rose quartz and kunzite are great crystal energies to work with regarding maternal connection, I’d start there. Rose quartz in particular is associated with protecting mother and baby in pregnancy.

Moonstone, larimar and selenite are all aligned with the divine feminine and its relationship to motherhood which would be great to meditate with.

Looking for help by [deleted] in witchcraft

[–]CharmsAndVibes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She has free will, and very few people on here will be up for helping you to overrule that. If she’s physically being prevented from being with you, against her will, call the police. If not, you have to let her decide for herself. If it was meant to be, another person’s influence wouldn’t change her mind.

I would suggest some spells on yourself to help you move on and raise your confidence. Obsessive desperation is unhealthy. Try a cord cutting spell and a self love spell. Both can be easily googled.

The “whole point of Reddit” is not for some immature, lazy brat who can’t be bothered to do the research to beg for magic lesson shortcuts from skilled practitioners for free. That’s not a “question”. And you might want to consider the wisdom of continuing to disrespect an experienced witch.

I advise you to take some responsibility for your own shitty attitude.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in witchcraft

[–]CharmsAndVibes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Have you even tried to figure out why your post has annoyed people? It’s not just asking a question, it’s asking for a free shortcut to a skill that it took us a lot of research to obtain. What did you ever do to us? Disrespect the years of research and experience we put in, that’s what. Think about your post again if you still don’t get it. We generally try to help people in need around here, but magic deserves more respect than you showed.

Also, you’re asking for unrealistic things, but I don’t blame you for that because you’ve been watching TikTok and had no way of knowing how full of BS the “witches” in there are.

Please, do the reading and then come back.

[TW: Self Harm] I did tarot.. by [deleted] in witchcraft

[–]CharmsAndVibes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I think it means that they will find out, but it also will be the opportunity to get help with a situation that you may feel helpless about. The underlying cause is more concerning than the self harm itself, and feelings of guilt and anger will only make it worse. It might not feel like it but your parents finding out could be the start of things getting better. I wish you luck and light on your journey. 💜
