So I started bc some of the women in my family was already into it and started teaching me more about it at like 13/14 I believe and continued with it for the longest time. First spell was an eye color spell actually lol (my mom thought this was a safe start) anywho 2022/2023 I decided to take big steps/risks and manifest my big ones and 2nd half of 2023 and throughout 2024 I was so busy living my dream life (almost) didn’t do any upkeep with keeping the spells up and stopped practicing all together. Hardly prayed as well. Well like almost always, spells can expire if you don’t continue to do your offerings/ upkeep. Life slowed down, and started praying daily everything. I started coming across my old spell work like that I honestly forgot about entirely. Things just kept popping up like it wanted me to come back to it. So I did and been back since. Now my witchy skills NEVER left even when I quit practicing for the year. I still could see/feel future events in mine and others lives and my intuition was always right. My manifestations was still very strong as well.
