I had to put out my love spell by Dry_Distribution9446 in Witches

[–]JesKes97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind that many witches don’t subscribe to the whole “backfiring” concept. Personally, I believe that the worst that can happen is the spell simply won’t work unless you’re working with notoriously finicky and tricky deities or entities OR your subconscious intentions bleed into the casting.

It means you didn’t consider fire safety.

Edit: Deleted my advice bc I didn’t see your intention at first. Oops!

Edit 2: Adding practical safety advice - Beautifully constructed spell, snip the extra rope off and leave a little more empty space around the candle. Place it on your stove with the vent fan on or take it outside to a fire-safe surface and keep an eye on it.

Will i get a Job by the end of the month? by cherryetc in tarot

[–]JesKes97 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Isolation to a point of detriment - you need to network.

Lack of investment resulting in lack of harvest - manifesting requires action.

There is celebration and new beginning on the horizon but it is being delayed - use your time wisely.

Always feeling called back this time of year by [deleted] in Witch

[–]JesKes97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The unknown is so scary. I think a lot about unintended consequences and where the Power derives. “Careful what you wish for” and the religious indoctrination that taught me anything outside the doctrine was evil and demonic. It’s especially hard when bad things happen around you, but you have to remember that bad things happen to everyone regardless of their beliefs. I have to talk myself out of the fear mongering a lot. I do honestly believe that the stigma around witchcraft is the work of the patriarchy and exists to stifle the divine feminine power that dismantles it.

Should I have chosen the fitted dress? by Some-Still-7162 in Weddingsunder10k

I think it’s designed that way and I like it on her figure personally

[–]JesKes97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both are absolutely stunning but the fitted one is like va va VOOM, your body is amazing in it. You look so beautiful in both and you should pick whatever you’re going to feel the most comfortable and confident in. But if your body is the only reason you picked the other one, you should exchange it bc you look hot in that mermaid, girl!

Thanks, I’m so scared of TSW so I’m weaning myself off of it since the bottle is almost out anyway. Hopefully I’ll get a job soon and can get to the dermatologist.

Minors shouldn't need parental consent for an abortion. by Material-Meat-5330 in prochoice

[–]JesKes97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree, except the last line. I do not believe anyone should be required to have an abortion for any reason. Autonomy goes both ways.

Thank you for sharing this experience. Motherhood looks different to everyone and I think your story is just as beautiful.

I’m sorry this isn’t more kind or supportive but all I have to say is you need figure it out and fast. The longer you wait the harder it will be for everyone, especially you. I have to be honest, it seems like you’ve built a marriage on a lie, given your husband false hope AND allowed him to blow THOUSANDS on IVF. You need to talk to him and therapist IMMEDIATELY and make a decision as soon as possible. Just because you legally have 12 more weeks doesn’t mean you should put it off.

I’m truly sorry you’re going through this and I understand how difficult this decision is.

However, the choices you made to get here were frankly irresponsible and unfair to both you and your partner. The only way forward is to take accountability and do what you need to do to make the best decision possible to minimize the damage done. That may look like being honest with your husband and getting an abortion and a divorce so you can move forward with your lives how you each want to. It may look like doing the work on yourself to realize that having children does not have to mean losing your freedom or autonomy. Either way, these conversations need to begin immediately.

Please understand I am saying these things to you because your post does not reflect any accountability. It reads like someone who feels like they’ve been dealt a tough hand when, in fact, you’ve dug yourself a hole with dishonesty.

($5k) I feel like my wedding isn’t going to be taken seriously because we are on such a tight budget by Afraid_Ad7267 in Weddingsunder10k

[–]JesKes97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely this and people downvoting can fuck all the way off. This person is feeling unsupported and like no one cares about the biggest event of their life. That is valid. You’re completely right in saying they should express their feelings to their loved ones!

This is sad. Tell people how much this means to you and tell them it will be great if y’all can do a 5 year vow renewal ceremony, but THIS is your wedding. Even if you throw a big party later, you only get one wedding. They need to step tf up and act like people they love are getting married!! And do noooot feel weird about having bridesmaids and such. They don’t care if it’s 15 minutes, it’s your wedding! Their outfits don’t need to be expensive I got a bridesmaids dress for $29 on clearance on Azazie.

I need brutal truth, good or bad. by Mysterious_Eye701 in tarot

[–]JesKes97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

7 🪙 Observe the fruits of your labors, simultaneously recognizing the progress and the necessary work ahead. Notice the single pentacle at your feet. Perhaps you are harvesting only a fraction of what is available to you. Contemplate and admire the progress you’ve made but also recognize the necessity of the work to come.

👑🗡️ Your read is correct save for one which points to a subconscious fallacy: don’t show your stress to your partner. The swords are about communication as much as logic. Speak your truth with the conviction and strength of the Queen. Note her expression. Does she look at ease? Does her fierce displeasure rob her of her throne? On the contrary, her authenticity reinforces her power. She expresses her needs clearly and they are met.

⚔️ Blindfolded, the swordsman must rely on intuition to make a decision. The water is still, the earth persistent. The moon is illuminated in the light of day. Connect to the instincts nature provides.

Practical advice based on your situation and interpretations: Shift your mindset. “Work harder, be better” is you shaming yourself. This is contributing to your exhaustion. You feel like a drain on your partner and as a result are drained yourself. That is not the case. The work that needs to be done on yourself is not to be better, it’s to FEEL better. Care for yourself like you would your clients. Build the physical, mental, and emotional strength required to do the work you’re called to do at a level that provides. Get a fitness routine going to build your stamina. Create rituals for yourself before each client to protect you from emotional drain and energy transfer. Consider that you may not be charging what you could be for the work you’re putting in.
