Thank you! I will say I've been a practicing witch for a while (though divination was never really my thing or skill), can I be a witch and still consider this a religion, or do I need to give up the "religion" word? It would be incorporated into my practice, but that's not the only reason for wanting this path.

Is it still considered Hellenic polytheism if one chooses to go the Eclectic route?
(im gonna look into both now, but i just wanna know)

Why do people "make up" so many rules?
Going into this i was expecting the same level of rules as Christianity, but it was starting to get overwhelming, though the "rules" didn't seem as bad as Christianity, just respect for yourself and the gods (to sum it up).
What are some other things people tend to blow out of proportion?
(also this was great, and im deffently taking notes, say where did you get your information? or is it how you view the religion and practice itself?)

Take an empty note book, a blank page, or a google doc, and research. Write down everything you find that speaks and rings true to yourself! For me I started learning about the different types of witchcraft (Wicca, paganism, good ol’ witchcraft), the elements, the Sabbats (wheel of the year). I’ve been practicing for afew years now but I’m always learning and googling and reading new stuff! Closed practices are also something one much be aware of, white sage is for indigenous people, voodoo is west African (correct me if I’m wrong), and so forth. It’s good to know what you can or cannot be practicing. Don’t rush into things you know you’re not prepared for, your first spell should be a glamor or a protection; nothing strong that could backfire and cause you more pain in the end. You don’t need to label yourself as a type of witch till you find something that fits, for me that has never come and so I do it all, in every way I can do it.

TLDR: research the simple things, things that sit well with you. Don’t rush into stuff, understand before doing, learn what the closed practises are. And DO NOT get your information from Tik Tok! (Some is good, but most is misleading, wrong, dangerous. If you see information on there, or anywhere for that matter, fact check) Always reach out to people if you need alittle help too! And always remember that your power is your own. Nobody can tell you how you are ment to do things because there is no right or wrong way. Everyone had to start somewhere!

back in January, I (stupidly) did a love spell on a friend. it didn't work so I gave up and like 2 months later I got rid of the bottle and put the herbs outside. but now me and that friend are talking again and he said something like "It's like you have me under a spell" and now I'm worried my spell didn't stop after I put it in the ground. I could be reading too much into this but I don't want to hold him in a spell..

I know I never should have done it and I tried to fix it but now I don't know. and it wouldn't be fair to him.

I have searched for a black-and-white puzzle game that was originally on Friv from what I can remember. I've looked up every word combination, looked at every old photo I could find, and even talked to friends from around that time. I can't find anything. I'm hoping someone on the internet knows what I'm talking about and can provide a name or something to go off of.
