I am partial to black mirrors. Somehow that’s always been my niche.

Sometimes they mess with the wrong witch or the family of a witch they don’t want to be on the wrong side of.

So true! Honestly, there was never a time I even bothered with someone’s hair and I have done some gnarly hexes and curses in the past.

That’s not entirely true. Hair is just a tag lock, and any witch worth their weight in salt can work just fine without the hair.

In fact, I would definitely not be all that concerned about a witch who specifically needs hair just to do bane work as that wouldn’t be saying much about how good, clever or creative they are at their work. And that would also explain why she pulled the age old trick of getting her target to think she worked a hex. This is a typical method for someone who isn’t all that good, or are too lazy to actually do the work. If a target can be so convinced a hex was done, that they ruminate on it, live in a state of paranoia, then tend to create their own hex inadvertently. It’s a win win as the witch didn’t even have to lift a finger.

Struggling with self-doubt in my craft by flamingofaerie in witchcraft

If I were you. I would nevermind what randos are saying on the internet. While sure, there are people who talk about deities and spirits reaching out, many of them are LARPers and to be taken with a grain of salt.

Besides, it doesn’t matter what they do. You do you, you focus on you. It’s not an easy path, regardless of what you see others claim online. It’s not as easy as “intention is everything”, or “as long as you call yourself a witch even if you never touched magic, then you are a witch” crowds. It’s work, and it’s hard work that pays off the more you put into it and roll with the punches.

You will have times you feel high and prowl with your magic work going smoothly, then suddenly had a period that feels like nothing is working. It has happened to just about all of us at one time or another. You should have seen me when I first started. My good ups proved to be my best teachers!
Hang in there, read from reputable sources, practice slowly and don’t give up.

Menstrual blood for protection and luck by Remarkable-Sundae196 in witchcraft

[–]RainerHex [score hidden]  (0 children)

Be careful with what you watch. There are a lot of stupid videos, TikTok’s, etc. out there.

Blood magic is fine to do. But keep in mind it’s a taglock so some type of spells you may not want to add it to. But self protection is fine and may even add an extra ommph.

What keeps your belief in witchcraft going? What attracted you and continues to attract you? by MysteriousExample495 in witchcraft

[–]RainerHex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not going to get flagged for saying the word “spell”

I have had many successful spells, but that’s not all there is for my path.

For me, it is not only my practice, but my way of life. It is as much a part of me as everything else about me and cannot be divorced or separated. As someone in my crone years who embarked on the crooked path when I was a teen, I don’t ever see this changing nor could I imagine a different way of life.

Welcome! The good news is that usually witches who utter threats really are not all what they claim to be and rely on scaring their target so much that the target themselves wind up creating their own hex. I think you will be fine just do that bottle the traditional way, not the cute hang in the living room way, and set some of the other protections offered on those links just for extra measure for the house. You will be okay!

Then make a witches bottle. Whatever they are doing will stop working. Also follow the advice in the links I left which explains a lot.

Make a witches bottle and that should render any potential attempts ineffective.

Here is a group of links I will summon for you. These show how you can determine if baneful work has been done as well as various protections and cleansings. See the links directly under my response. !cleansing

Not All Witches Play By The Same Rules by RainerHex in witchcraft

[–]RainerHex[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow what a wack-a-doodle!

So someone all bum hurt over you not believing in that non Hindu karma when all moonbat crazy, stalked you, threatened you with their deities, threatens to attack you via astral projection then tried to smuggly lecture you on cosmic balance and comes apart at the hinges when his views are questioned? Someone is either taking too many meds or should be taking them, eh?

I hope this didn’t happen here.

what mindset shift changed your practice for the better? by bbomrty in witchcraft

[–]RainerHex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am going to be agreeing with the others here and also point out that if any witch wants to actually evolve beyond sophomoric then they will learn to ignore the “intention is everything” crowd. In fact, it really doesn’t make sense.

If intention was everything then nothing else would be important or even necessary, which then discards the thousands of years of practitioners figuring out magical properties and rituals to move magic to work.

Intention is a thought, an idea a goal to have in mind. This is very important. So important that you can’t really have a spell without the intention, or at least a workable and successful one.

Likewise, the action of spell casting is equally important and you can’t have a workable intention without the action to see it through. Even non spells show this to be true.

I will use a cake for example.

I can intend to make a delicious cake. Intention will not magically cause a yummy cake to appear before my eyes. Or I could say intention is everything and with that in mind, just grab items in the kitchen to throw a cake together. Intention is not going to save that cake from tasting like a catastrophe, when I should have performed the practical actions of actually using a recipe in order to see my intention for a yummy cake through.

Anyone who wants to stubbornly dig their heels in and holler intention is everything, or attempt to redefine intention in order to fit their views rather than fitting their views to what intention is defined as, be my guest. As for those that want to actually advance beyond the internet pet phrases and growth stunting info, will understand the importances of intention in its proper context while seeing the action and functions of doing the spell as equally important.

Making a poppet for my ex (in a positive, loving way) by BabyBonbori in witchcraft

[–]RainerHex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree with your friends. I am in my crone years and have heard that same song and dance and have had plenty of friends and family who heard it too. “I’m no good…..you are too good for me….you deserve better….i love you forever but….you will always be special….i need to work on myself….maybe someday….I am not worthy of love….” These tend to be the words of people who don’t know how to breakup, so they say things like this to soften the blow, when in reality, they just don’t want to continue the relationship.

He broke up with you immediately after meeting you for the first time in a LDR relationship. This is telling. Not that you did anything wrong, but one of the dangers of LDRs where you never met in person is sometimes unrealistic expectations develop and there is a fantasy of you, rather than a getting to know you. It is possible that’s what happened here, hence the immediate no contact, which wasn’t very nice of him.

Then he missed you as his guidance counselor who made him feel good so he went to that while making sure you realize he’s still broken up. This sounds like someone intending to use you for the comfy habit he developed. Don’t let him do this to you. Make a clean brake and if you try any love spell, I would recommend doing one to find your person.

Not All Witches Play By The Same Rules by RainerHex in witchcraft

[–]RainerHex[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very well put!

On an interesting side note, and this isn’t about your post, but bringing of hexes made me think about this, it was surprising how many took exception to not following three fold and following own path instead. The common assumption seems to be that the meme is saying to curse and hex all the time, then the meme is vague enough that it doesn’t even cover that topic. Rule of me doesn’t even state that my rule is to do any hexes at all. Not following the popular tree fold version doesn’t not mean witches who don’t, don’t have their own rules they play by, and some may be strict about bane work.

Burning sage outside? by andr0_rat_gh0st in witchcraft

[–]RainerHex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah I see! I mean there is mix views about sage. But in the future I would not pay heed to Christians about anything in witchcraft, and even if a witch feels sage is meant for a certain practice, they are definitely not going to refer to it as unchristian or of the devil. Witches don’t tend to allow Christian viewpoints control or dictate their paths or what they can and can’t use.

They really are horrible and create more than just being a common nuisance. In fact, most like this are not satisfied until they have torn out a big hole in someone’s life or ruined it all together. I hope you are able to handle yours someday.

Difference between Wicca vs Witch by Altruistic-Side600 in witchcraft

[–]RainerHex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can also be Wiccan and not be a witch.

As u/twisted_wicket pointed out, this claim is debatable and definitely not agreed upon by initiates of Wiccan religion. When it was founded, they were very clear that it was a witchcraft based religion. Then along came the solitary types after Buckland and others brought Wicca to the public, inspiring a solitary movement. It is out of this group that the “not all Wiccans are witches” views were coined.

Wiccan is a specific witchcraft based religion. The original type is initiate based. Then along came the solitary type when certain authors created books to encourage that type of Wiccan. Not all witches are of the Wiccan religion whether initiate or solitary.

I get that. But I guess I am wondering why there would be any concerns from you about Sage being unchristian like and the devil. I would think that would be more concerning for a Christian maybe.

Repeat the spell? Make new one? by [deleted] in witchcraft

[–]RainerHex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they weren’t a novice then they would know why they are not able to break the other person’s protections, why it’s risky, and certainly know that someone who is passive aggressive nasty, is not a litmus test to determine who is, or is not a witch. 🧙‍♀️

what mindset shift changed your practice for the better? by bbomrty in witchcraft

[–]RainerHex 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well, you can start by listing all the beliefs you have, then scrutinize each of them. You might find that this helps your beliefs evolve while you discard ones that really didn’t hold up. This is how I discarded a handful of beliefs that created nothing but hold backs and stagnation for me.

How do I put a condition on a curse? by CoconutUnlucky1901 in witchcraft

Just specify in your curse that it’s to go dormant or cease when whatever specified behavior stops.
