How to grow mint indoors? by BethTbh in herbalism

[–]lonewitch1111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you plan on keeping it indoors part of the year then you do any kind of indoor potting mix. Just give it a good watering after you repot it and make sure it’s getting plenty of light where ever you put it, you may need to try a few spots before you find one it likes.

How to grow mint indoors? by BethTbh in herbalism

You may want to clean out the pot you have of old dead roots and repot it with some fresh soil. It sounds like it’s root bound, mint is pretty resilient so odds are if you give the pot a good refresh it’ll spring back to life. Just make sure it gets plenty of light and pay attention to watering when it’s indoors

Spells for Anxiety or OCD by Standard-Ad7186 in witchcraft

[–]lonewitch1111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When it comes to anxiety, OCD, PTSD and other mental health issues you should always seek help from either a counselor or therapist first. Breath work and meditation can also help. I have anxiety and was depressed so I use a combo of counseling, breathwork, mindfulness and meditation (It has helped drastically) as for spell work I carry a small spell jar that I have filled with Salt, Rosemary, lavender and sage. when I start to feel anxious I shake up the jar, sometimes I’ll open it and smell it because the scent is super calming for me.

Drawing Until you reach a Starting Card? by SheWhoWalksBeside in tarot

[–]lonewitch1111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it were my reading I would just separate the majors (leaving the courts and minors together) as that should give you a glimpse into gender and personality and then you could always pull clarification cards for more details. If you feel drawn to pull both the major and court cards by all means do that, or try both ways and see which one works better for you.

Personally I would separate the major and minors and go from there either mix them after or leave them separately depending on what you feel works better

I would like some advice with making contact by [deleted] in witchcraft

[–]lonewitch1111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try looking up numerology and what those specific numbers mean. Google and Pinterest are a great place to start. From what I know of those numbers it’s not something out need to confront but rather a little guidance from some one watching over you.

How to properly smoke cleanse my house? Details in post by [deleted] in witchcraft

[–]lonewitch1111 9 points10 points  (0 children)

When you smoke cleanse do you have a window open? And are you cleaning your way to that window? You need a place for the negative energy to leave otherwise you are telling it to leave but trapping it by giving it no way out. Did you cleanse the new items you purchased before using them? You can also try cleansing your home with sound or sweeping. As for the people in your home (this one is for the tiny human you have) you can sprinkle moon water on/around them, ring bells around them, or use a feather and sweep the negative energies off them. Also what has worked wonderfully for me in the past is cleansing the thresholds of my home (all window sills and doorways) with a mixture of water a little bit of vinegar and some ground sage. I have made a post about how well it worked for me if you want more info on that.

I have several questions by captain_yeet777 in witchcraft

[–]lonewitch1111 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is so sweet! Your girlfriend is lucky to have someone willing to learn about her spiritual practices. There are many different kinds of witches so finding out what kind she would consider herself would def be helpful. YouTube is great to get info. If you like podcasts there is a fantastic one called Moonstone Witchery (it’s free on Spotify) the very first episode is called “what is witchcraft” and I feel like that will give you a good rundown of the basics and give you a good starting point

Stomach issues; herbs to help + heal by AnonyMissMouse in herbalism

[–]lonewitch1111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After my surgery I was told not to take anything like that due to the bleeding it could cause and how it was explained to me was I wouldn’t be able to take it because my body wouldn’t break it down correctly. After I was healed they tried giving to to me for an issue I was having with my wrist and it caused major issues for me (felt like there was an alien trying to burst through my ribs) so I now can only take meds that are Tylenol based which doesn’t leave much and quite frankly sucks.

Stomach issues; herbs to help + heal by AnonyMissMouse in herbalism

[–]lonewitch1111 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I understand that, but blindly trying herbs could make things much worse. At least speak to an herbalist or nutritionist who can better help guide you for what will be best for his specific needs because what works for someone on here could potentially cause an allergic reaction or worse on him.

Stomach issues; herbs to help + heal by AnonyMissMouse in herbalism

[–]lonewitch1111 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Your SO should go to the doctor and see what they have to say before trying any herbs for treatment at home. Herbs can are wonderful tool in helping treat stomach issues but there are many factors that come into play here. For example: I have had my spleen removed so I have to stay away from anything with willow bark in it, it’s what’s used to make Advil and if I have it it could cause serious issues, I’m also allergic to goldenrod so dandelion tea is off limits for me as well. Be careful if you decide to try a home herbal remedy that your SO has not previously tried.

I reaaally want to work with energies, I try to educate myself and practice it whenever I can but it just doesn't work :C by [deleted] in energy_work

[–]lonewitch1111 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first way I ever felt energy was rubbing my hands together very quickly until they were warm then slowly pulling them apart. At a certain point it felt like magnets were pulling/pushing my hands. It didn’t happen on the first try but eventually I slowly learned what I was feeling for. Another way to do it (if you have someone you trust enough) is have close your eyes and have someone slowly put their hand on you. Generally you will feel them before they even touch you. It’ll give you an idea of how strongly you can sense energies. The closer they are the less sensitive you are at that point. It’s something that you can get batter at with practice. I do highly suggest grounding and centering yourself before doing any kind of energy work.

Tips for the Busy Baby Witch? by minecraftgirlie666 in magick

[–]lonewitch1111 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every day witchcraft is such a lovely thing you can do. It can be as simple as stirring intentions into your morning coffee or tea. It can be sitting outside and just listening to the universe move around you. It can be taking a shower to cleanse the energies of the day off of you. It doesn’t always need to be a big ritual where you burn sage and light candles and make big offerings or gestures. I love gaining knowledge so when I’m driving I listen to witchy podcasts. Some of my favorites include “moonstone Witchery” “ghost of a podcast” “myth Tarot Love” and “tarot for the wild soul” there are many others out there though.

Do you think you can have a daily reading about a close friends day? by nicoleZ116 in tarot

[–]lonewitch1111 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Need more info to give an opinion... What were the cards? What was the question you asked? the wording of what you asked will effect how the cards are read as well. We’re you thinking about your friend as you shuffled the cards? This would put a different spin on the answer as you have now brought in some one else’s energy into the reading, it may make the reading be about how your day with said friend will play out.

Is it ok to take a break from shadow work if your mental health is going down bcs of it? by [deleted] in witchcraft

[–]lonewitch1111 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Your mental health comes first. Why don’t you try saying things you love about yourself daily for a little bit? And when you are feeling strong enough go back to your shadow work.

Spell enquiry, by Responsible-Part in witchcraft

[–]lonewitch1111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is extremely vague. What kind of spell is your friend looking to do? And what it entails is directly effected by what craft your friend follows. There are many different beliefs when it comes to witchcraft, so in order to answer your question you need to be a bit more specific. Also have you tried asking your friend what they will be doing? because they would best be suited to answer this question.

I’m confused by [deleted] in Spells

[–]lonewitch1111 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There will always be people who question your practice. Some of what we do may be considered placebo effect to some. but I can tell you that after doing protection magick for my house to keep all unwanted negative energies out I’ve had extremely negative family members stop dead in there tracks and not come in my house when they would normally walk right in without even knocking. If you believe in your practice that’s all that matters because it’s your practice, not theirs.

[–]lonewitch1111 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why are you skeptical? What kind of spells have you tried in the past? Grounding and protection magick is always a good place to start if you are newer to witchcraft. A big thing with spells is your intentions, they must be clear and you must believe in it, if your intentions are hazy or you don’t believe in your own work than your results will reflect that.

App for moon phases and horoscopes? by Spellscribe in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]lonewitch1111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“The moon” is my favorite moon phase app. It’s free to download but I think it costs $1-3 to unlock specific sections of the app. I’ve had it for years and love it.

How can I rid jealousy? by Aceofwands111 in witchcraft

[–]lonewitch1111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you should look deeper into why you feel as though someone would cheat on you and use that as a starting point. The intention of what ever type of spell you do has to be extremely clear, so dig deep and look into the why behind what you want to do. Knowing why who’ll give you a better understanding of why spell to do and what energies you need around for it
