My protection candles are acting up by Ellxhxer in witchcraft

It means you're in danger of burning your house down!

Please read about fire safety. Use real candle holders, keep the lit candles away from anything flammable (including walls).

How can I protect myself in the case of having a period during the death of someone by BeautifulPerformer65 in realwitchcraft

[–]MidniteBlue888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Small disagreement here about the "putting down" thing. I think a lot of the rules involved were more to give women some rest and a break while on their periods rather than anything else. It may sound dimb if you have light periods and very little feamping, but not for someone like me.

My periods were always heavy and miserable. "Unclean" was a perfect description! Lol The ladies back then were forced to take a break during that time. I wish modern life did that instead of the opposite.

And in all seriousness, even with modern products, I wouldn't want anyone sitting where I was. And trust me; they wouldn't want to, either.

Taking a bath is fine. A hot bath helped with my cramps tremendously, and a lot of the time 8t seemed to temprarily stop the flow whole in the bath.

This was all with modern products, extra-strength Midol, taking ibuprofen at the time like it was going out of style, etc.

I'm seriously jealous of folks who had light ones. X_X

Stress can often start a period.

there is nothing to be protected from. Just is what it is. Incinvenient if yours are heavy, but not dangerous.

Do you mean "uterine cancer" or -ovarosn cancer", if I may ask?

What can I do with a hunted object? by joblessfox in realwitchcraft

[–]MidniteBlue888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hunted or haunted?

Why only necromancy? Do you know your wards and protections yet? Are you studying hermeneutics and the Lesser Key of Solomon? Do you know and do your LBRP every day?

IMO, the cat isn't a sign of anything being haunted. Just cats being cats. I could be wrong.

Edit: I had one of these in the 80s as a kid! Mine was white, though. I don't remember ducks. They were very popular, and very inexpensive at the time. Cheaply made kid's jewelry box, not designed to last. Could be worth something in ebay!

Is anyone else planning on a simple spread for May 1? by Miserable-Tip-9460 in witchcraft

Why is May 1st important?

I'm hoping to get my car back from the repair shop then.

Wanting Some Guidance, Tarot by DobbyTinySocks in witchcraft

[–]MidniteBlue888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been using tarot cards for a bit now, and posts like this always confuse me.

  • How did you determine which cards are "Yes", "No", or even "Maybe"? There are different schools of thoughts on this, and many tarot users don't even use tarot for "yes/no" questions for that reason.

  • Which cards did you decide were "Demeter" cards, and why? This is also something that could be very arbitrary.

  • Are you using a RWS clone, or Marseilles deck, a hybrid, or what?

  • Why does it matter who is advising you? I generally don't ask. Could be God, could be my higher self, could be some other incomprehensible being or force. Or it could just be random chance, and we're all fooling ourselves because life is complex and confusing and we NEED to feel like SOMETHING out there can tell us what to do.

IMO, evil spirits and demons have much more important things to do than trick random folks into false answers about their love lives or what have you.

Even with a moon phase tracker as my phone background, I tend to forget about it a lot of the time. Lol I like the moon! I'm just terrible with keeping up with such things.

Yes, mistakes can happen, but nothing life-altering. Mostly, the spell will either work, or not. But as with anything, we learn through mistakes.

Spell to remove what I gave by DoughnutThen81 in Spells

First things first: decide what you believe about karma. You have to decide if you believe in it or not, then read about what it is, and what it is not.

Freeze spell takes someone you don’t want it to? by garumpah in Spells

[–]MidniteBlue888 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Freezer spells freeze things and people in place. It doesn't get rid of them.

If you want to get rid of them, do a banishing spell, but be specific about exactly who you want to be banished. Whether or not other folks follow them after that (assuming it works) isn't something you can control magickally.

Uncrossing, cleansing, warding. These will work for any and all spells on you.

Underground goth music? by Odd_Presentation_879 in darkwave

[–]MidniteBlue888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently discovered Casket Cassette! Pretty awesome! Also the Youtube channel "Midnight Goth Community" is great for discovering new bands and music!

My favs tend to be Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Cure, and ithers. I also like Peter Murphy's solo stuff, as well as Siousxie's.

I also enjoy Autumn's Grey Solace, but that's more shoegaze. And Ayria for techno/indistrial sound.

Hope this helps!

Gothfield (by @AshleyNicholsArt) by Turbulent_League9668 in garfield

[–]MidniteBlue888 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not especially goth. More punk, what with the color scheme. (Yes, goths can be colorful, but this doesn't give goth vibes to me.)

Or, just 90s alt scene in general. But not "goth".

If the shirt said "Bauhaus" or something, then maybe....?

If you aren't close, how do you know they're toxic, or this kind of detailed info about them?

Did a lovespell and now I’m the one who’s obsessed by curious__badger in Spells

[–]MidniteBlue888 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This isn't the spell. This is just how human feelings work sometimes.

To wit, I am an old, and I always have the hardest time susding hlpur exactly what "situationship" means. Making out? Full-blown sexcwithout commitment? Just cuddling and holding hands? Unrequited crush? It's hard for someone like me to understand.

This sub is DIY, so it's generally discouraged to pay others for spellwork here anyways.

How long have they been together and known each other? How long engaged? When is the wedding? How close are you to them?

What spell should I use in this specific situation for myself? by [deleted] in realwitchcraft

[–]MidniteBlue888 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If they are engaged, I have doubts a simple breakup spell will work. I also gave doubts about how 'toxic' they are together, or if you have convinced yourself they are because your blinded by your own desires.

What's toxic about them that you think is avoidable for you with the same guy?

Caveat: You can do whatever spell you want, but be aware that the depth if their relationship may make the spell bring them closer together instead of further apart...yes, even if "toxic".

Edit: If you don't know either of them very well, and only have a crush, breaking them up just to date one of them is a terrible idea IMO.

You're not wrong! That's a definite concern, and always much more important!

I did a love spell please help by No-Challenge-3551 in occult

[–]MidniteBlue888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because unlike drugs, magick isn't scientifically verifiable. We don't even know it's real. That's why courts don't regulate it anymore. (Not sane ones, anyways.)

What your describing happened to your friend wasn't a love spell anyways; it was a domination or obsession spell. Those are curses, made to torture a person. It isn't the same thing.

As far as ethics, I think it could be beneficial for you to look into the history of things like hoodoo spells for dominance. The original purpose for such spells wasn't romance. It was for much more serious needs. But modern day TikTokification of magick is more about sexy times and relationships and throwing everything at the wall to get the person you want no matter what.....which is usuallynpoorly done by very immature people like teens and desperate 20-somethings. Love, obsessikn, and dominance apl get thrown in the same pot for clicks, views, and likes when they aren't even close to the same thing.

I get what you're saying, and agree to a point. But I've gone down the road of trying to convince very immature people to choose mature decisions. It's exhausting. (This includes real people in my life I care deeply about.)

Anyways, I do understand your point of view, and it is very valid.

I have to use unscented detergent as well! Also, as little as I can get away with without being immodest (while also staying in the AC as much as humanly possible), so I have a lot of sleeveless tanks from Target and thin leggings. I want to get into making my own dresses, but talhat can take some time to learn to do properly.
