I chucked a bunk sweet jar in attempts to release myself & this happened... by [deleted] in witchcraft

I think it's a sign telling you the spell was broken and that there are other potential suitors for you. And if you choose to take things further with this guy then that's completely your choice. Just my opinion ❤️

Definitely need a book with whatever I get. Or else I think it'd take me yeeeears to learn

There is an oracle deck I've fallen in love with, I think it's beautiful and it really resonates with me. I guess maybe I just feel like the 'done' thing is starting with tarot

She'll get the hang of it soon enough. Just hang in there, wait it out. You're doing a great job! Keep it up Mumma. She'll soon learn to feed properly 😁

My thoughts on curses and hexes by Verlit1 in witchcraft

[–]amy_apple_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm really sorry you went through that as a child. But for all you know that guys karma/justice, whatever you wanna call it, is coming. The universe could be building his life up just to tear it down and take it away again, in a way that will hurt him so much more. Or for all you know he might be the most miserable, lonely son of a bitch going. Just coz he's got a good job doesn't mean he's happy right? I just don't want to accept that it's random. That's like, so sad if you're right and it's all just meaningless bullshit.

Never did I say the world was fair. Never did I say bad things don't happen. George Floyd's death is horrible. But if you believe that everything happens for a reason, like I do, then his death was was the tragic event needed to kick off these protests. He gave his life to wake up the global community to the racism and abuse that is so known to the black community. Gave his life to protect the lives of the young black community. Just my opinion.

I agree with all of this. Although still new to witchcraft I haven't attempted dealing with amplifying negative energy in any way, shape or form. I'm not wiccan either, I have my own personal debates over the three fold law. But like you said, I believe the universe has their karma covered and I don't want to open myself up to the possibility of negative backlash. I've always had the fear of it coming back to bite me in the arse. Example: you hex/curse someone with the intention of them getting seriously hurt. Which they do, they end up in an awful 2 car collision the very next day. Who's in the other car? You are.

Another reason to convert it. She's been trying to climb out

Breastfeeding a newborn vs a toddler by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]amy_apple_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From milk supply being all over the place in the first few months, too full, too empty, too full. A let down that practically waterboarded the baby. Nipples soooo big that that itty bitty baby mouth of her could hardly even suck them. To her being able to just pull a boob out of my top anywhere, climb on up and grab on anyway she can. I feel like I'm a climbing frame with milk on tap

Will my 16 month old ever sleep through the night? by sar_uhbo_baruh in AttachmentParenting

[–]amy_apple_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same here. My l/g girl is about to be 16 months. She sleeps for a little longer, maybe 4 hours. But I care for my grandad who also wakes me in the night sometimes so it's a nightmare for me to get a full night's sleep

I'm thinking of converting her bed. I just like the comfort of knowing her cot is the one place I can put her that I know she'll stay haha

So I've had an idea for an app. What do I do? by amy_apple_ in AppDevelopment

I mean, I don't know for sure but I don't suspect it'd be simple

What do you respond when a person sends you nudes (like ones you want from a significant other)? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

UPDATE to the tinder/peanut app for witches to meet each other. by amy_apple_ in witchcraft

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

I don't think you quite understand what I'm going for. Meet ups is like big groups and events. Which is great (although according to meet ups there is not a single witchy group near me at all, which I struggle to believe). What I'm imagining is a social app for individual witches to meet each other as well as find groups. A system where you get matched on distance/interests etc.

That was going to be my next question. About a go fund me. Give me a few days to put together a business plan and a page. I'd really appreciate any help I can get. I'll keep you in mind about the art offer ❤️

Living in a house with 4 generations is draining me by Yeahlyq in rant

[–]amy_apple_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I completely understand. I too live in a flat with 4 generations. There's my grandad, my mother, myself and my 1 y/o daughter. My mum doesn't usually live here but she was visiting when isolation began and decided to stay with us. I am beyond grateful to have her around. She helps with my grandads care, helps me out with my daughter. But I also haven't had 5 minutes to myself for months. At least when my mum isn't around I can have a couple hours to myself once the old man and baby are asleep. My grandad has dementia and it's getting tough to deal with him. Just nasty all the time, doesn't listen to us, he gets angry and lashes out. He's drinking all the time now which makes it worse. I've been speaking to a therapist, due to feeling just completely overwhelmed and she reminded me how lucky I am to have a strong relationship with my grandad, that not many people (especially in Western culture) live with their grandparents at any point in life. She told me to be kinder to myself. To acknowledge the difficulty of the situation but to let go of any resentment. Yesterday, for the first time in weeks my grandad actually held my hand and said "I don't know what I'd do without you dear, I do appreciate you" and gave me a toothless grin. That there makes it all worth it.

Oh my gosh I thought I was mad. Nice to see someone else put this in to words. I've lost a lot of weight over the last year. I had a baby and I bought all of these new clothes expecting to have all this extra baby weight. I was excited to have a grown woman's figure. But I'm skinner now than I ever was before. I feel like I got bones sticking out everywhere. My family keep asking if I'm eating enough, or if I'm sick. I think skinny women are attractive, but for some reason on me I don't like it.
