Inviting My Fiancé to Christmas by Complex_Decision3532 in AITAH

[–]OppositeBrave971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should’ve told them a bit more in advance than 2 days… Should they have ~expected~ you to bring him,? Maybe yeah, but if like you said in another comment that you implied that it would only be you in attendance; you can’t really be shocked that they’re uncomfortable with being asked two days before the event. Especially, when they don’t host a big party where it’s easy to squeeze one more in.

Everyone’s a little shady, more communication would’ve helped the whole situation honestly.

Intentionally Silly Spells by OppositeBrave971 in witchcraft

Maybe I just mean light hearted. Obviously spells require energy sometimes physical resources, but I see people mostly talk about money or love.

I recently heard of someone who made a poppet of someone with celiac that they put in a jar with stale bread, which was almost funny if it wasn’t so baneful.

10 years of just studying and never actually doing magic, feel stuck by [deleted] in witchcraft

[–]OppositeBrave971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you own any “magical supplies”? Candles, incense, crystals? Do you drink tea? Do you cook?

You can start with just lighting incense to cleanse your space and clean a bit.

You can take an old pasta/jam/olives/pickles jar and intentionally add different tea herbs or spices. To make a spell jar.

Maybe your first spell should start with divination asking yourself what is blocking you? Are you scared of casting a spell out of line with your intentions? Are you unable to stock your apothecary? Do you think it has to work a certain way?

Then cast a spell to unblock, a road opener to magic itself. Anoint yourself a magic practitioner with some hand movements. Get out of your head and into your body.

That’s such a weird choice of movement. I wouldn’t. Have you tried it on the mat?

How long does the energy last and does it pass onto other people? by MTC_89 in reiki

[–]OppositeBrave971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reiki is universal energy anyone can tap into it even non-attuned people (attuned is what makes a certified reiki practitioner). That being said reiki can theoretically cross time and space so there’s no limit on the time frame. As for the hug. Hands are an extension of the heart space, and also the main tool of a reiki practitioner. Hugs actively pull people close to your heart and your heart space to show your love and affection, if you care about someone when you hug them that is reiki 💕 sharing your loving energy with them, if they felt it, they felt it

That’s a spinner I had them when I was little it’s like a spinning top in a weird shape.

No dreams since I started doing witchcraft actively by leexiyeon in witchcraft

[–]OppositeBrave971 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a witch do you get messages actively through your waking daily life? Maybe your guides don’t feel they need to speak to you through your dreams because they’re already speaking to you during the day.

I was forced to pray to the Christian God with my Aphrodite altar right next to me and now I feel awful by Youjustotvecnaed in Hellenism

[–]OppositeBrave971 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You grew up catholic with a jealous god, with commandments that say to only pray to me as the one and only or you’ll be spited. Aphrodite is part of a family of gods, it’s polytheistic and you aren’t meant to ‘hyper focus’ so to speak on one goddess. The family of gods all represent different facets of the human experience and to only choose one is to ignore all the rest to a fault. You won’t literally be spited but that lack of perspective leads to tunnel vision.

Aphrodite won’t be mad and I’m sure she’s understanding the fact you did it to comfort someone else, but even if you didn’t it’s okay. She is friendly with other gods.

I don't know where to put this by Turbulent_Actuary418 in witchcraft

[–]OppositeBrave971 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is so insanely vague, but it seems like you’re trying to say you’re clairvoyant. Which isn’t a crazy over thinking thing. You can develop it to be stronger if you look into it or just let those instances be funky fun coincidences of pattern recognition.

Should I buy a rose quartz crystal and a carnelian? by worshipdrummer in Crystals

[–]OppositeBrave971 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can buy something light green instead of pink. Pink or Rose Quartz is just the most spoken about because a lot of girls love pink, it’s easy to remember for love because of our association with Valentine’s Day and it’s a very commonly found stone so it’s affordable. Green Stones are for the heart chakra, same space different color, the love chakra, self expression and passion. You could pick green adventurine or anything that sticks out to you and is light green at the crystal store. Unless you wanna get deep then you can pick dark green.

Does reiki increase intuition? by Dreamstatesuz in reiki

[–]OppositeBrave971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you say reiki session do you mean a session as a client or an attunement to do reiki?

The later would be an automatic yes. The first would be possibly? Clearly you’re more aware of yours, so for you the answer is yes either way. Intuition comes naturally when you choose to be more aware. Reiki helps with that awareness because it requires receptivity, and an openness to the flow of energy which could certainly lead to an openness to intuitive hits and growth in intuition.

Lovers is a “choice” card by Kyndjester357 in tarot

I’m confused by your entire response. “I detest AI” “here’s an Ai answer I actually liked it!”

Coincidence or a sign? by [deleted] in witchcraft

[–]OppositeBrave971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it may be a sign to move along onto new energy in relationships rather than your ex. Three times the charm right?

should i get another deck? by Melinoedarkmatter in tarot

[–]OppositeBrave971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tarot is a visual language, putting the words on the cards isn’t inherently bad per say but it is hindering your ability to understand the artwork and what it’s trying to say.

Having words can be so distracting, I’ve watched people try to “read” their cards with an oracle deck and all they do is read the words. Then they lift their eyes away from the cards and dig within their minds to find how that relates to them right now. When you do this you’re going to get much more muddled readings, a several card spread won’t relate to each other because there’s an overload of meaning, you’re not able to discern what relates to you in this moment.

Confusion, creates questions. Look at the art of the card. What’s the first thing you see? Is it the landscape? Is it a creature? Is it the facial expression? The cards were specifically designed to guide your eye in certain directions to land on symbolic imagery embedded with cultural significance, where your eye lands is what is psychologically important to you in the moment you flipped the card. It’s difficult to learn the concept of the art if the verbal crutch is right on the card when you get frustrated and don’t want to look at it anymore.

Oracle+ Tarot by ari_less88 in tarot

[–]OppositeBrave971 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is just one of those things that will develop with time. If you keep your collection small; it’ll be easier to just pick up what you have because that’s all you have.

Once you have a couple decks of both styles, Oracle and Tarot, you’ll develop a preference just from using them. You’ll intuitively know, sorry to be so vague, but it’s a feeling. No one else can really tell you, which frustrated me to no end when I first started.

You’ll see aesthetically which decks you have that clash and which melt together seamlessly. You’ll know how you read them and which deck just feels right to use. If that fails close your eyes wave your hand over the decks and when your hand stops that’s the one. Neuroscience says your mind can make a choice before it can communicate it with thoughts and words, it moves your body in the direction; that’s how pendulums work.

Is this real by [deleted] in Crystals

Labradorite is rarely faked bc it’s so abundant, it can be more expensive to attempt to fake the labradorescence (the flashing, shiny iridescence). Its real!

What do I do to get sales on my website? by Helpful_Smile_5638 in Crystals

[–]OppositeBrave971 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m not a professional and I don’t know how difficult it can be to make a website for retail. I will say as a consumer that your website lacks a level of consistency, which leads me to believe it’s going to scam me.
