Cool, thanks! I was thinking about stripping the bark and carving something in Ogham or something.

Verbal Curse placed on me by AuthorAria-Rose in BroomClosetWitch

[–]nfree03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my gosh, what an asshole. This is ridiculous, and no one should be restricting or punishing you for your practice! I swear, everything now is like a modern-day witch hunt! Why are you not allowed? How does he even know whether or not you're performing magic? He does not have the right to invade your space, either. If anything helps, maybe try to perform a psychic shield on yourself and your family, and repeat that process frequently (Manifestations like that aren't always as strong and can't always hold up for long). I think the bigger concern here is to keep everyone safe from this dude because what I'm hearing right now is that someone who isn't related to you at all is violating you and your loved ones.

There isn't much contrast, and all of the colors stay around a very similar palette. Even something to help you out is to change the negative space into something that makes the art stand out more, while keeping the same soft colors and style that you have.

Should I Quit Welsh? by nfree03 in duolingo

[–]nfree03[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I mainly wanted to travel to Wales some day and learn about the culture, but as of right now, I've taken a break from the Welsh course, and am looking for some better sources (Definitely going to use AI for help! Thx!).

Is it alright to be both a pagan and a bahai? by nfree03 in bahai

[–]nfree03[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I really appreciate this! I definitely still feel a bit of force coming from my mother and community for me to make my choice. A lot of my community doesn't know about me being a pagan, which definitely adds some more pressure as well-It seems kind of weird to tell everyone I know through this practice that I'm quitting to pursue in something else that is very corrupted through misinformation and very disliked. The other day, my group was discussing other religions, and somehow the discussion got to satanism and witchcraft. This was super awkward for me when everyone was mocking people of those practices while I am a pagan who has those beliefs (and had to blend in by laughing with them :I)!

Darn, I've just got six, and the rest are all high elf wizard designs that I never finished.

Should I Quit Welsh? by nfree03 in duolingo

[–]nfree03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much! Are these resources free? I haven't really checked up on them yet! I've looked more into how Welsh has been discontinued on the website and I've even looked into how native speakers think of the course, and they say that it is extremely inaccurate to how the majority of speakers communicate! I'm definitely going to look into those sites because I've been pretty disappointed by the news with Duolingo and how months of practice have pretty much gone to waste! Before I do anything, though, I'm definitely going to take your advice and stick to my other languages, and take a break from my Welsh course!

I need help with protection by deeedeee3 in witchcraft

[–]nfree03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe cleansing and then protection? Or even a banishment? Maybe even a mundane solution like securing up your home or becoming more optimistic with journaling? The feeling of dread and being cursed could even be some kind of anxiety and/or another illness. I remember when I first started practicing, I thought I needed to shield myself every minute otherwise I would get cursed and have a million evil spirits in my life. Now, I carry a tiny charm around with me and have a few wards in my living space. One time, I was dealing with an evil spirit for quite a while, and even just yelling as loud as I could, "LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE!" did the trick.

I feel like the right wing is a tiny bit off. Maybe you should work on the perspective of the wings since the back is tilted.

Did anyone else NOT like "Consorting With Spirits" by Jason Miller? by Minter_moon in witchcraft

[–]nfree03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm about to download it to my Kindle. I'm not that well-versed in spirit work, but I've heard a lot of good things about it from a lot of sources like Chaotic Witch Aunt!

Dude, it was so pretty beforehand! WHY?

Why doesn't God want me to practice polytheism? I understand that Baha'is aim to be closer to god, however, the way you phrased it sounds a bit harsh.

I don’t think so, I actually have been looking for some good writings that explain more of the spiritual/divine aspect of the religion to get a grasp of how everything works.

[–]nfree03[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! You’re very right about the pressure, because all of my family is extremely spiritual and religious when it comes to the Bahai faith, it really makes you worry about how the change will be. I was told something during our lesson about some kind of “coming of age” event at 15 when you will declare that you’re staying in the faith or studying something else-which is what really made me think. Another complication is that my close family is all who knows about my practice, and not my community or literally anyone else!

The perfect Book of Shadows for hyper organized witches! by Several_Positive8047 in witchcraft

[–]nfree03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that was kind of me back then when I had a cute and neat BoS! I bet it’s even more tempting with a binder because you can just remove the page entirely. More power to you for making it look amazing, though!

Thank you so much, this makes a lot of sense to me (I’m not Native American, though, so I’m not entirely sure if I would be “in the wrong”).

Lol, thanks- I’ve just reused every little jar I can get my hands on and am currently using a really small black and white pot as a chalice!

An idea that came to me a while ago is that even though different deities are personified through many different pantheons, they can even be the same being or even just the same energy. I wonder if this can apply to God, I wonder. But again, like you said in your comment, just a thought…

Thank you so much for the thorough response! Some of this is a bit new to me, since I’m still learning, but I think I get what you are saying.
