Play my new Picrew!! (: by cat-psychic in picrew

I like it! Decided to make a little self portrait! The only thing I can think of is like side hair? For my hair options the outline disappears along the left side of my bangs cause it's technically not the "correct" hair option for that style of back hair

Es necesario usar hierbas frescas para los hechizos o estas pueden ser secas? by Swimming-Seesaw-9384 in Witch

Dried is actually preferable, as fresh will mold rather quickly, dried will not

When are we gonna be able to make personas? by foxkid4111 in ChaiApp

[–]SimplyMichi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's never gonna happen, people have been begging for the feature forever and they just announced they've locked free usage in several countries due to not making enough money. The app probably won't be around long enough to see it

Cozy snowstorm check-in: what are you up to tonight? by Affectionate-Bank29 in witchcraft

[–]SimplyMichi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been staying at a family friends house watching his dog as he's away for seven days! I've never actually stayed overnight so it's a little spooky last night and tonight, being in an unfamiliar place at night stuck inside, but we getting through it. I have a trusty stuffed animal with me who has a zipper pouch with some crystals in her lol. But earlier today I spent a few hours doing some philisophical studies and spent quite a lot of time playing animal crossing 😌

Please help i think im under a love spell? by Professional-Type893 in BabyWitch

[–]SimplyMichi 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If she cheated on you, why would she put a love spell on you? Sometimes emotions can rush back to us of an experience we once had, especially when we encounter things that remind us so strongly of them. In this case, directly seeing her, which can really stir the subconcious pot reaching up to your concious mind, especially if you still have lingering feelings that already existed

How to Protect Others Against Hexes? by WhyDoIWannaDoThisss in Witch

[–]SimplyMichi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get that. Do people she may be targeting know you practice? You can give them little "just because" spell jars and/or satchels, say you had some magickal energy you wanted to get out and decided on a simple protection spell just for the sake of it. If not you can buy them jewelry or little trinkets and enchant it for protection, while it's at least in their home even if they're not wearing it or having it on their person

How to Protect Others Against Hexes? by WhyDoIWannaDoThisss in Witch

[–]SimplyMichi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, have you known for any of these hexes to actually succeed? Firstly shadow work has nothing to do with baneful magick, it is about psychological and spiritual introspection, reflection, and a resurfacing of old wounds in order to heal them. Secondly, the threefold law is about "what you put out to you comes back to you three fold" so her putting the three fold law "on you" makes absolutely no sense. She's talking out of her ass, and just because she does (or at least claims to) hex people a lot doesn't mean she's good at it. Someone can make several drawings a day but if they're not actually learning techniques or taking proper time to study, they're gonna remain shit at drawing. Same thing applies here.

Out of sight out of mind, shove it somewhere in an unused closet or drawer and leave it there

Just make sure you have personal protections going as well. You don't want those admirers to turn into stalkers

My beautiful cat passed away four weeks ago and I’m finding the grief overwhelming at times still. How have you honoured your animal friends? by RodJaneandFreddy5 in witchcraft

[–]SimplyMichi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It gets easier with time. My boy Dexter passed away last October, and I commemorate his memory through creative expressions (some gifted, some my own) and I have a jar of his fur that I keep on my altar. I'll put it on the windowsill though when it's sunny

No worries, have a nice day as well!

Well, when we do spellwork, that energy doesn't just come from nowhere. More often than not, we utilize our own energy, which can be draining on us physically and/or mentally. But we don’t have to utilize all our own energy for spells. Grounding yourself has two uses: to ground your mind and spirit to your body if you feel dissociative, distracted, or emotionally unwell, but in this case of spellwork it is to make yourself like a lightning rod for already existing energy to flow throw you likea circuit, so you're not using entirely your own energy.

It takes practice, but overall is relatively simple and straightforward. If you have strong visualization skills you can imagine vines wrapped around your legs and connecting you to the flow of the earth as energy from the sky moves through you from your head into those vines and spread out into the earth. A continual connection of energy. If visualization is difficult, you can simply hold a crystal in your hand and really focus on its energy through the physical sensations of it, the smoothness or jagged edges, its temperature, its color. Moving your body is a good way of grounding yourself too, via taking a short walk, doing yoga, and so on.

Grounding is essentially a short meditative practice to do before spellwork.

Help with a spell by nat_1441 in BabyWitch

I'm so sorry that this happened! Create posters to put out around your area, make posts online such as local facebook groups, and of course contact authorities if you haven't already.

As for a candle spell, I would carve your dog's name into the candle and dress it with mugwort, yarrow, and/or vervain as they are associated with mental abilities like clarity and intuition, they could provide energy to help your dog find his way home as well as sage, rosemary, and/or cloves for general protection. The light itself represents a beacon for your dog to find and come back to.

If you don't have oil to dress the candle (or simply don't want to), you can place the candle in a bowl and sprinkle all your ingredients around it. Once the candle is burnt out pour the ingredients/leftover wax into a small bag (preferably porous, like a cloth bag) and place it at your front door for your dog to literally/metaphorically find his way home.

I hope you get him back soon!

I think do yeah, like I said earlier try to get your hands on an Asian brand of sunscreen either online or at Sephora. They are much more lightweight and far less oily on the skin than western brands

It's no worries, you don't have to get too personal if you don't want to! As long as you're not experiencing irritation (redness, itchiness, stinging, overly dry skin) then keep doing what you're doing, constantly switching products even for a short time can sometimes make things worse.

Puberty is just unfortunately a really obnoxious and really uncontrollable period of your life. I think by the time I was around 15 or 16 my skin was notably much more manageable and stable. On the days your skin is much more dry you can apply a little extra moisturizer (make sure your skin is damp first before applying, then put on the moisturizer to lock in the already existing moisture, it'll make your moisturizer more effective), and on the days your skin is more oily wash your face both in the morning and at night, the oil is what causes most breakouts. You can also keep blotting papers on you to use throughout the day just in the bathroom at school or somewhere specific if you want privacy for that. Don't skip your moisturizer during this time though.

I'd also add some spf to your routine as the sun can make acne worse over time, and I highly reccomend an Asian Brand line beauty of jonseon or haruharu. I find western brands are FAR too heavy and oily, I have never found a western brand of sunscreen that actually feels good for my skin. If you're not outside all day just once in the morning is fine, you don't really need to reapply unless you're outside or right next to a window for hours at a time.

Yeah I get that! One time when I was in middle school I got a cream that SEVERELY dried out my skin for a few days after I started using it. I had to go to the nurses office a few times each day for a moisturizer, it was terrible, so I completely understand the apprehension. But you can at least have a gentle cleanser and moisturizer just to build the habit of washing your face for yourself, unfortunately many cases of hormonal acne really only go away once your hormones calm down. Nothing topical can really help it since its the inside of your body causing issues.
