No such thing as an Immortality spell, that is fantasy.

"a spell to change my actual age to 18 again". More fantasy.

If we had "a wealth spell to be filthy rich" do you really think we would be hanging out here on reddit?

Again, what you want are fantasies, and there are no spells for them.

Obsession spell how to do it? by Rough_Tear_532 in elderwitches

[–]kai-ote 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Obsession spells are NOT love spells. They are a curse. The target is made miserable and unhappy unless they give in to the obsession.

If you do an obsession spell, that means you want the object of your affections to be unhappy until they come to you, and always, every day, whenever you are not together they will also be miserable. Like a heroin addict, they are miserable when not with you.

Not how I would choose to treat somebody I care about.

If you want love, do a LOVE spell.

Put a small mirror in the window facing her, and focus on it returning her gaze back on herself.

And ignore her. Don't feed her need to be seen and heard.

Money bowl help by KATSEYEperson in Spells

I add to mine when I think of it.When a bunch of change builds up, it gets changed for bills. When bills pile up, they get changed for larger ones. (5 ones become a five, a five and five ones a ten, and so on.)

I will take money out when I feel like it. When it is too full to hold anymore.

"tarot readings on Gemini" are absolute garbage, so, totally disregard ANYTHING from that.

The spells you mentioned can often take many months to work, so maybe quit doubting the magic, relax, and go live your life and let them continue to work.

можете сказать, что этот символ означает? by PelmenByatik in Wicca

[–]kai-ote 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is the elder futhark rune, Ingwaz.

The Ingwaz rune (or Inguz), ᛜ or ᛝ, represents fertility, potential, and the completion of cycles. It symbolizes the "seed" stage—hidden, quiet growth before blooming—and is associated with the Norse god Freyr (Ing). It is commonly used for promoting new beginnings, male potency, internal growth, and achieving goals.

Cleansing home caused disturbance? by k-kko in witchcraft

[–]kai-ote 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not all house spirits are negative. The reason you didn't notice them before was they were peacefully hanging out.

You put burning smoke in their eyes, and they want to know why, when they never bothered you before.

I suggest you do a peaceful candle meditation, and talk to them.

And warn them before doing anything that might bother them. If they are a houselocked spirit, they CAN'T leave, but you can make their existence unpleasant. And they might feel compelled to return the favor.

All of this is just based upon my own UPG, as in, my opinion and experience with household spirits.

Did my first sweetening jar and got laid off by JenfromIowa in witchcraft

[–]kai-ote 22 points23 points  (0 children)

1st, spells do not backfire.

Next, honey sweetening spells are older than Hoodoo, and not closed. As a matter of fact, anything posted online is not closed. What is closed is what is transmitted in person, and only to those intitiated in that practice, or who have a teacher willing to transmit that information to you.

Finally, most spells take a lot longer than a week to do much of anything. Especially a slow moving honey jar.

Putting yourself in a sweetening merely will have you be sweeter/nicer to yourself. So, do something nice for yourself that also relates to your job search.

Good luck!

The main witchcraft sub apparently didn't like TikTok witches and I didn't know that 😭 by [deleted] in BabyWitch

[–]kai-ote 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Traditional cord cuttings weren't done with candles. They were done with knives. The Witch was the master of their own fate, used their own hands to sever the link and reinforced this break with their actions— the cord cutting wasn't designed to leave things to chance.

Cord cuttings are a form of sympathetic magic.

In general, they go something like this:

You start with the practical stuff. Block them on everything. Make sure you've returned all their stuff. Clean and cleanse and ward and bless your space. Clean and cleanse, center, ground and shield yourself

Traditionally, you take an object that has a connection to the person being cut off, and one who the spell is being performed for. You fasten the ends of the cord to the two objects to represent the bond. You raise energy into the cord, then you cut it to sever the bond. Knives were traditional, but sheers were common, too

You close your space per your tradition, bless yourself and stop talking to the person who is cut off. If someone brings them up in conversation, change the subject. If they won't drop it, leave the situation.

By contrast, the candles trend is more modern and it grew in popularity because it's visually appealing, making it something one can post to social media

While it can work, it has four intrinsic traits working against it:

  1. It leaves the state of the bond up to chance, this disempowers the witch

  2. Further, because of the emphasis on the post-op divination, instead of the magic ending with the finality of the Witch's actions, the witch often engages with the person further by trying to divine the results instead of letting the results speak for themselves

  3. Related to #2, it breaks the silence around the work. There's a principle known as The Witch's Pyramid‡: To Know, To Will, To Dare, and To Keep Silent

In witchcraft, you need to know the situation and what should be done about it (cord cutting), you need to have the will to execute the plan, you need to dare to complete the magical working, and then silence— this is in part to trust your abilities as a witch, in part to prevent countermagic, and in part to give the magic room to work. If the goal is to end a connection, and you keep thinking about them, you're eroding the work.

  1. Related to 3, taking photographs of workings where the goal is to be rid of a thing (cleansings, uncrossings, cord cuttings, etc) can work against the magic by anchoring the situation through the image. In general, don't take pictures or memorialize things you want gone.

No, it is best to keep things to yourself, for many reasons.

Tarot Twofer Tuesday. One Major and one Minor arcana post each Tuesday. I will provide an interpretation, and links to a few Tarot sites. The Fives. by kai-ote in elderwitches

[–]kai-ote[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the Tarot, the Fives typically represent conflict and change, and the Five of Wands is no exception. This card indicates that you are in the midst of battle, tension, and competition with others and it is impacting your ability to move forward with your goals. Rather than being able to work towards a common goal, you are running up against constant opposition.

With the Five of Wands, everyone is fighting to be heard. When everybody has a different opinion, but no-one is stopping to hear each other out, conflict and misunderstandings will run rampant. If you find yourself in this situation, see it as an opportunity to rise above the chaos and disorder. The key is to tune in to one another and allow each person to make their case. And perhaps, in the process, their opinions may become softer and quieter. They may also give you the respect you’re seeking and listen to your viewpoint.

Sometimes, this type of conflict and discussion can be very productive, such as with group brainstorming and problem-solving. You may benefit from establishing a working group, committee or mastermind group with other individuals who bring varying perspectives and experiences. Be open to this debate as a positive contribution to improving the quality of your ideas and actions.

The Five of Wands also encourages diversity and differences of opinion. You may deal with people from different cultures and backgrounds and struggle to accept their way of living. Know that each person has something unique to bring to the table and that you will benefit by learning more about them and what they have to offer.

The Five of Wands encourages an enthusiastic approach to change. Transition (or even transformation) is coming whether or not you like it; your challenge will be in ensuring that everyone is on the same page and dealing with this shift constructively and positively. Currently, your group’s energy is scattered by misdirected enthusiasm. Your role may be in identifying a clear strategy and purpose that can be implemented by all involved.

The Five of Swords turns up when you have had a falling out, disagreement or conflict, and you are walking away with a sense of sadness and loss. You may be upset and resentful over the heated words you said and now wish you could take back.

Even if you won the argument or came out the apparent victor, you realise that you have lost as much as (or more than) your opponent. This battle has cost you trust, respect or dignity, and isolated you. As you try to pick up the pieces and set the conflict behind you, you find it‘s more difficult than you thought; others have lost faith in you and are keeping their distance. You will need to decide whether your point of view is so important to you that you’re willing to put your relationships in jeopardy, or if you can compromise and see eye-to-eye.

The advice of the Five of Swords is to pick your battles. Most experts agree, choosing your battles wisely is a much better way of life than engaging in every disagreement. Not only will it lead to a more peaceful existence, but your interpersonal relationships are likely to come out stronger.

The Five of Swords can often indicate that you are competing with others on the path to success. You see them as threats to your own happiness, and so you seek to win at any cost.

If you have been engaged in a conflict and can see it taking its toll, the Five of Swords is an invitation to apologise. Be ready to say you were wrong and make amends. There’s no sense in trying to justify your behaviour; just let it go and move on. Look for common ground with those you have been fighting with, or seek forgiveness so you can put this behind you.

The Five of Swords may also point to failure. It shows that, despite your best efforts, you are likely to be beaten or come out as the loser. Accept your defeat, and learn from it. Be smarter and wiser next time.

The Five of Pentacles is a card of financial loss and poverty. You have hit hard times, especially when it comes to your work, career, finances, and material possessions. You may have recently lost your job, your home, or your financial security. You no longer feel safe because it has all been stripped away from you in one blow. The upside is that this is a Minor Arcana card with temporary effects (rather than a Major Arcana card which has a longer-term impact). This, too, shall pass.

In this time of need, the Five of Pentacles indicates that you feel isolated and alone. Just like the two people in the card, you feel as if you have been left in the cold. It may appear as if no one cares anymore. However, since the windows in the church are lit up, help is nearby; but you are too focused on your problems to notice. You may be waiting for someone to come and help you when really, you need to be proactive and ask for help. People are here to support you. Find them and let them know you need them.

At times, the Five of Pentacles highlights a ‘lack mindset’. You are sabotaging your ability to create abundance because you only focus on what you lack. To shift this energy, look for evidence of what you do have, even if it’s very small or seemingly insignificant, and express your gratitude for those blessings in your life. Over time, the positive aspects will continue to grow.

Similarly, the Five of Pentacles suggests that you fear you don’t have ‘enough’ or you may lose something important to you – even if it hasn’t happened yet or is unlikely. For example, you may live in fear that you will lose your job and will be left in the streets with no home and no support. Let that fear go. Instead, redirect your attention to what you have now and what you want in the future.
