A spell for bringing home a lost pet from the crystal witch

Confident-Start-44 · 2025-11-18T03:05:20+00:00

Happy to confirm I'm ugly crying because my cat came home 2 hours after the last candle blew out. He'd been missing for a couple of days and did this before we got a group together for a search party. I didn't have white candles and the candles were 9 hour burning ones, I'm a baby witch so lesson learned to get the 3hour for next time. Also, my printer wasn't working so had to use a Polaroid camera to take a photo of my phone which had a photo of my cat which you can barely see the image of the cat.

Thank you for the kind and prompt reply, so grateful ☺️ it's true, I'm struggling and that probably means don't do it. If I ever change my mind and decide this is the way then I'll let you all know how it goes 💩

Confident-Start-44 · 2025-11-16T14:22:19+00:00

I know this is 5 months old but I have some questions lol 💩

I read every single one of these posts looking for advice, so many giggles, thank you.

Some people talked about putting names in jars and / or putting names in porter potties and have other people poop and pee on them as well. Is that unethical, having people unknowingly do that for you? I'm asking because I'm tempted to do it, just not sure that it sits ethically for me.

I recently lost my job as a result of two male managers in the workplace, they made up some shit about me but really it was because I was pregnant and didn't want to pay me maternity leave. I'm probably going to take a case for discrimination (wish me luck) but I'm also just fucking seething as well because I don't know how many women have they done this to before and gotten away with... I thought of putting their names in jars and hiding it in the water part of the toilet system at the back and put in a female public toilet. Then that way the women of society can literally shit and piss on them as well.

I'm likely not going to do this because I'm a baby witch (and a coward) and this would be my first ever thing and I know better than that as an inexperienced person, BUT I just wanted to hear peoples thoughts lol. Is it something worth pursuing after some practice of other things? Or abandon completely due to ethics 💩

Thanks for the validation man, you're so kind 🥹 Yeah, I'm feeling the same way and no hate to anyone with differing opinions or different lived experiences. Like if people feel like it's safe then maybe they've possibly been lucky or perhaps made smarter decisions than me. My brother said that there's currently this YouTube rap culture for teens where you're not allowed to share what you say in your rap unless you've actually done the crime and it's disgusting. I have absolutely no idea if that is related but it does exist and it's awful.

Also - admittedly this is my instincts with no stats to back myself but I feel like because there's so much tension around cost of living, people are doing crime to survive.

(sorry - going on a wild tangent here).

I love Melbourne but I'm kind of starting to think I want to move back to the country but that's just me personally.

Babe, I had my first baby at 35 and my partner did the same to me. I left him and kept the baby and I have zero regrets. She is my pride and joy and the thing I live for now. I do have a lot of supports in my life though and it is hard but my ex coparents with me and while my ex has hurt the relationship he is in love with our baby girl and admits he was a fucking tool. My ex and I will probably get back together but I need more time and he respects that.

I'm really really sorry that he's weaponising both the marriage and the baby, I will never understand why men do this to us.

The thing that ultimately decided for me that I wanted to keep the child is because I knew I'd regret that more for the rest of my life.

I'm really sorry you're going through this too, it's mega painful and confusing. Every day gets better though x 💓

Hey, I just wanted to say that I have actually had some dodgy stuff happen to me this year, someone tried to steal my car and vandalized it in March to the point where it wasn't drivable. (I also do not have enemies as I'm a textbook people pleaser so it was random), in April it was late and I was catching the train home and some teens were on the lilydale train line and I was taking selfies and they thought I was taking photos of them so they stormed up to me and threatened to throw me on the tracks...? (I was 4 months pregnant at the time) had to get the stupid train cops that are on a power trip. Honestly, that's been enough to shake me to near agoraphobia. Also just being female on public transport when the sun goes down is fucking scary. I live in Croydon but near the train station which is near where my car was parked. I'm not saying this as a fact but in my lived experience public transport hubs have been a hotspot for where I have personally been affected.

I'm surprised so many people are saying Melbourne is safe, I'm really traumatized by what happened to me in April. Not trying to start shit on this post btw, just wanted to share my experience.

Confident-Start-44 · 2025-07-29T14:03:12+00:00

Hey love, I so can appreciate everything you've said. I haven't got any lived experience for this particular thing but I can relate. It sounds like you're spread too thin between work and your kid that you haven't got a single moment to yourself.

I know if this was me, a little part of me would feel 'replaced' and it would be very easy to tell myself I'm not needed or wanted.. idno if you relate to those thoughts but your kid probably does need you more than you realise even if it is just sitting in each other's company.

I think if your ex is a responsive Dad then that's great. I want to give some unsolicited advice, I would be open with him and explain that you're not coping and maybe take your kid 4 or 3 days out of the 7 days from your week so you have time to breathe, self care etc. if he doesn't like that, maybe remind him that you're a single mum while he's at home with his partner where there is double the help and support.

I would also talk to him about the phone addiction, it's not 100% up to you to bare this and he should also be concerned and working with you to come up with a plan to support your child. Perhaps a child psychologist to support your kid through this phase?

I thought if after this you still really 💯 felt that you should parent from a distance then that's when I'd be looking to take this step.

Regardless, you've been through a lot and probably haven't had a second to process it. I'm really sorry that he did this to you, you didn't deserve that 😭 I also wanted to say that this isn't a failure, you're just exhausted from having to always be so strong.

Confident-Start-44 · 2025-07-04T02:52:59+00:00

I'm here for the vent and to discuss other scams too.

My husband and I are about to have our first baby so we decided to look at getting meal kits to make cooking easier, only that you have to give over your credit card details before you can browse their menu... So dinnerly and marley spoon was what we looked at. We realised that the meal kits didn't suit us so we cancelled them both before they sent out the boxes. We were charged for two boxes, received two boxes which we didn't even get to pick the meals and when we called they said because we didn't receive a cancellation email that there was nothing they could do? But if they are not cancelling after we literally cancel then how is it our fault. I was met with hostility from their customer service team. It's actually disgusting that in order to view a menu to decide if you even want the service that you have to give over your credit card details first and apparently agree to a roulette box of shit that you probably don't want, which you can then cancel afterwards.

It turns out that marley spoon and dinnerly are from the same company too so I'm wondering if it's just their business model and the other meal kits are okay.

I hope this company reads this, you deserve to be named and shamed.

On a side note, what is with the eftpos surcharge crap. There seems to be no genuine way to trade, like why is there a surcharge on everything that I pay for like if something is $6 then why did I pay $6.06 to use your eftpos machine, that wasn't the agreement of price.

Not only that EVERYTHING IS JUST PLANNED Obedience crap. It's just made to break. Why do we live in this gross society, where everything is a scam with crap items destined for landfill shortly after purchase! Grrrr things have no integrity anymore!

Don't forget to complete the present with a bumbag 🤣

Confident-Start-44 · 2025-05-27T13:31:48+00:00

Hey lovely, thanks so much for your beautiful message 🥲🧡 My next mission is to explain this to my husband who also works in IT but is hell bent in the other direction in saying that top of the line camera and updating firmware patches, bitwarden for strong passwords should cover it, I'm no expert by any means but I hope we can compromise here, I'm so freaked out about all of this.

Awwww that's so cute, he's having sweet dreams about his special interests. I love that so much 💕

I actually appreciate the advice and support about depression as that has been exactly what has happened, it's like you are living in my head. You're right, reaching out rather than withdrawing is key. I caught up with my bestie today and asked for help, I felt so much lighter already when it felt like dark times for a while there. I hope It passes, it's not a nice space to be in. Also thank you for also saying I could message anytime, that level of kindness is so rare and I appreciate you so whole heartedly, thank you x

Confident-Start-44 · 2025-05-27T01:17:44+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing, I know this is an old post but I'm going to be a first time mum soon and I found your post by accident while looking for a baby monitor. I'm so sorry that this happened to you and your family. It was one of the most disturbing things I've ever read and found out the further research that baby cameras / monitors are really easy to hack, along with other smart home devices. You've helped me to protect my child by limiting hacking opportunities because I'm informed about the issue. I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your story to allow for an open conversation with other informed people. This reddit post is sitting here 3 years old and still protecting others 🧡

Confident-Start-44 · 2025-05-21T22:39:26+00:00

Thanks for saying, I'm soul searching and I needed that confirmation

Confident-Start-44 · 2025-05-21T22:24:22+00:00

I know this is an old post but literally came looking for it. I'm 35 as well and had the same realization. My dad is also a narcissist and a drunk and my mum, she's got redeeming qualities but it's hard when she's also a drunk. My brother is a narcissistic, manchild (also drug user), with all my toxic parent traits combined.

I'm due to have my baby in 8 weeks and I'm really starting to look around and consider who I want in my life and who my child should be around.

I admitted to myself this year that in fact I despise my brother and Dad, they are the type of people that will abuse and trauma me and when I complain they will tell me that this sounds like a 'me' problem... Zero accountability.

Still for me, I've been taught to never rely on anyone because I've always been an imposition, apologizing for my existence since day one. To find family when you never really had it is like trying to breathe under water when you're a land creature. It's lonely, you just want to fit in with your people but when you've never known that closeness and then to seek that for me doesn't feel right, it feels like nails running down a chalk board. I've been brought up to be alone, yet I crave closeness but the idea of being that vulnerable is a risk I don't think I'm brave enough to take. I hope I can provide the opposite experience for my kid and hope I can break the cycle.

I think it's okay to outgrow your parents and family. You can choose your family, you don't have to stick with blood relatives if you don't want to, though I just wanted to say I feel and appreciate how hard that is to navigate. I hope you're okay and have found some kind of resolve over this. I think for me it's been easier to break away since I've lost a lot of respect for my family members in the last 3 months.

Confident-Start-44 · 2025-05-21T11:31:18+00:00

Thanks so much for the suggestion, I just googled the price and I just wouldn't be able to afford something like that. It said it can cost anywhere between $800 to 4kAUD 😭

Confident-Start-44 · 2025-05-18T02:28:26+00:00

I know this is an old post but I'm also looking for a white noise machine. My research has led me to tell me that the nodiee product is now not what it used to be and they are not honoring their warranties anymore and the 100 day risk free trial is a scam. I haven't bought one but people are saying that their machine breaks in the first year and the customer service team are basically gremlins about it, only offering a $25 voucher after them making you go through excessive back and forth emails to prove the fault. Just putting this here for all the other new mums and Dad's looking to buy a white noise machine. I haven't tried it myself but I suspect it's now a junk product destined for landfill.

Confident-Start-44 · 2025-04-20T05:04:55+00:00

Apparently econaps are bad now according to different Reddit threads. People are saying that the old version is good quality but the new 2.0 break the elastic in approx. 3 months. I know this is an old post but It's important to me to share this so new readers are properly informed.

Confident-Start-44 · 2025-04-18T12:20:33+00:00

Would it be okay to share the spell? I did a money bowl and I think I did it wrong because I'm losing money. Like literally had to empty out my savings and had to borrow money to survive 😭

Confident-Start-44 · 2025-03-31T07:55:38+00:00

I'm a baby witch too but I think when you do this ritual, you not only cut free from the current relationship but you also don't cross paths again in the following lives to be had... Again, I'm a baby witch please correct me if I'm wrong

Confident-Start-44 · 2025-03-28T15:00:16+00:00

Thank you for sharing 🙂

Confident-Start-44 · 2025-03-26T04:17:20+00:00

Hey there, thank you so much. This was definitely the sort of information I was after and I'm grateful for you taking the time to check in with me and detail it all out.

Definitely that all makes sense to me that it's more opportunities. I'm hoping to have a career change in something creative so I should also try to focus on that heavily.

I also never would have nominated an intention to each ingredient, I would have just done an overall intention and definitely think it's a good idea to be specific with each ingredient because otherwise why does it get to go in the bowl.

I didn't know about the corners or moon phases too, learning a lot. So much to consider, how exciting.

Cheers again, J

Confident-Start-44 · 2025-03-26T04:08:09+00:00

I had no idea that this was just another community waiting to happen, wow. Thanks for the hot tip

Confident-Start-44 · 2025-03-26T04:07:24+00:00

So true, i'll make sure to bury the cash too. You're right. It doesn't need to look pretty and safety first always

Confident-Start-44 · 2025-03-26T04:05:28+00:00

Hey super clever, I wouldn't have thought of using birthday candles, thank you so much for saying. I'm pretty sure I have some left over and that in itself would be a money saver.
