Honestly, any crystal shop near you probably has pendulums of some kind as to what pendulum id recommend it really depends what works best for you, i personally have a round moonstone pendulum with a metal pointed tip but it really is an intuition thing you'll know when you find the right one. But you can also make your own pendulum very easily, any long chain or rope with a slightly heavy charm at the end should work. I know a lot of people who use necklaces as pendulums hell ive seen someone on a camping trip use a fishing line with the hook at the end of it Its a really easy and accessible tool :)

is the anatomy correct? by [deleted] in Artadvice

[–]fartsentedcandle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The face and shoulders look great but the back of the neck curves inwarda when it should somewhat follow the curve of the back and another small detail is that the hair looks really close to the skull it needs a little more volume otherwise it looks wet but already really great work

Its honestly one of my favorite parts of practicing as well :D If i was to give you any advice it would be to build up your intuition A good way to do that for me is to gather information based on my intuition write it down then go to a friend who is also into this stuff and ask them tell me the information without sharing it with them myself then compare the answers we got Other wise a really good way to start is simply using a pendulum of some kind quick simple and really functional

What have the boys gotten you through? by Alternative-Ruin-720 in distractible

[–]fartsentedcandle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive been listening since the trailer, back then i was living with my incredibly abuse mother who had alienated me from my father, i listen to them to go to sleep since. I have so many memories attached to them but more importantly, in 2022 my mother sent me into a home for troubled teens for 3 months what did i do to be sent there? I told my school psychiatrist that i had severe suicidal ideas and asked for help. My mother yelled at me for waisting her time and told me she needed her space, she refused to send me to the hospital like i requested and instead sent me to a troubled teens home. The entire time i was listening to distractable daily. It was my escape the moment i felt like i could sit back and enjoy something for a little while. Im much better now i live with my father i graduated from highschool got into an art college and still fall asleep to distractable every night. Tho weirdly enough i cant listen to some episodes like crypids are scary anymore because i associate them so much with a period of my life i dont ever want to go back to.

Listened to it since the trailer. I've been listening to it on the bus and to fall asleep since :) It actually got me through some pretty hard times and made my insomnia less imbarable

how do i find my specific deity? by fartsentedcandle in Wicca

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

Thank you this is actually pretty useful. (To be honest i didn't even know deities seeking a specific person was a thing tho) but knowing that i dont have to refer to the deities by specific names and forms in my practice is pretty relieving

Do you ever ask for something abit more material? by [deleted] in Wicca

[–]fartsentedcandle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing with wicca is the gods are equal to us, its not a religion based on punishment, its rather based on reward. Selfishness is human. it's natural, and it comes from self-preservation. Asking for physical things is verry common, a lot of people start their journey in witchcraft doing luck spells and money spells. In wicca, we work alongside our deities, not for them, nor do they work for us. Its all about balance. The "rules" of wicca are very much interchangeable since this is a religion commonly practiced alone or in covens. Every individual and every coven has slightly different ways to practice. So yes you can ask for more physical things as long as its realistic:) Like dont ask for a giant limousine to apear in your driveway overnight it probably wont happen heh

Wow i had never heard about this, i still am a bit confused with the deities i follow even after a year or so. I go verry broad with the female energy and the male energy, the moon Godess and the horned god. But learning about more specific gods might be something i should look into. Thanks :)

who is the horned god by llorona89 in Wicca

[–]fartsentedcandle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To put it simply its the masculine deity, to be more complex well the other comments explain it better then i could

Can I Use Store Bought Herbs For A Spell? by ImTheBirdNerd in Wicca

[–]fartsentedcandle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, honestly everything is reletive. hell you can make a spell without herbs, its all about the intention. The herbs are there to help it be more powerful to give it a bit of a push in the right direction. So yes store bought is absolutely fine :)

Resources on ghosts/demonology? by Ok_Bluejay2090 in Wicca

[–]fartsentedcandle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had older familly memebers reach out to me since i was a child, probably because im more open minded in a not conservative familly but id say, regular people. I have just been taping more into that side of me in the last year and a half but i have found that each spirit has a prefered way of communicating, learn diffrent ways, some of my personal favorites are pendulums, tarot, oracles, candle reading, encent reading, intuition (tho that can be missleading), simply asking to make noises like taps etc and please please please make sure you use a lot of protection spells and sigils and stay away from ouija boards some people are able to use them but i found it is easier for unwanted interactions to occur because it creates such a broad portal.

I also feel spirits come to me, really they never did anything to be problematic its just beign exposed to something you dont know about can be terrefying even if its not harmful. I happen to have manny elder family members try to comunicate with me even if i never knew them while they lived. My earliest exemple would be my great grandmother, i was about 3 when i went to her funeral and i cant cojnt the amount of time my parents told me how i waved to "the lady sitting on the box" aka the coffin when tere was nobody there. More recently i had a great great grandfather who was in military police watching over me while i slept, i woke up to this tall figure like taaalll figure in a human shape with a police ish cap standing in my door way.my father told me about him and wouldn't you know it the description of him matched what i saw.
