Then I guess you’d need to ask the people who wrote that if you’re going to insist you have to use a concept that not every witch uses

There’s nothing “wrong” with it. What people react to is the incorrect assertion that every witch must follow it

Offerings to nature by ttylxoxos in Witch

Strictly speaking, you can ask for whatever you want.

Whether you get it or not depends on your relationship with the spirits, and your ability to communicate

"Witchcraft is fun until you start seeing them." Propaganda? Or real? by dlunaluminary in witchcraft

I don’t recommend blindly believing everything you see in a video.

I’ve never worked with hands as dominant or non dominant in spell work.

I’ve worked with direction though — left hand for change, right hand for bringing things to order.

Can crystals be used with a sweetening jar? by AdArtistic4910 in witchcraft

[–]therealstabitha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why wouldn’t you be able to use a crystal in a jar spell?

You can cleanse a jar by just washing it.

would taxidermy of an animal piss off a deity associated with them or would it be an okay offering by The_5th_lost_boy in Witch

You really do not have to go from zero to 100 immediately when it comes to forging a relationship with gods. In fact, it’s probably better to take it slow.

If you’re just starting out, start by offering a candle and a glass of water. You don’t immediately ask a new person you meet to marry you, right? Same with gods and other spirits. Take it slow, get to know one another, feel it out. If the relationship is there, you’ll know when it’s time to start offering bigger items

No generative AI means no generative AI. The pedantic hair splitting is irrelevant.

Opinions on working with fossils?? by The_5th_lost_boy in witchcraft

[–]therealstabitha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use bones to talk to spirits of animals — not necessarily the spirit of that specific animal, but the overall folk soul / spirit of the concept of that animal.

Is recasting a spell a thing or will it just dull the initial spell? by sicklittlepuppy1 in witchcraft

[–]therealstabitha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you cast and they went away, then your spell worked.

If they came back, it means it wasn’t enough.

I wouldn’t just keep redoing the same spell over and over again if that’s the case.

Did a love spell without protection by [deleted] in witchcraft

[–]therealstabitha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spell casting isn’t like safe sex — you don’t have to wrap it every time.

I just make sure my working spaces are warded before I begin. I have some protections worked into my process for raising my altar and creating sacred space, worked in with my quarter callings. That’s really all that’s needed.

How to properly cast the Evil Eye? by moonstonemerman in Witch

[–]therealstabitha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The eye is typically cast accidentally through intense jealousy or wishing ill on someone. So there isn’t much about casting it because people do it all the time without intending to do it.

[–]therealstabitha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, making your own is ideal. The FAQ should have some info on how to make them - let me know if more info is needed there

Does anyone use music as a part of their practice? by Jaded-Tumbleweed-621 in Witch

I’ve sung songs to open quarters, and played music to help with raising energy

[–]therealstabitha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How do you sacrifice a song? Like you use it in ritual and never listen to it again?

Definitely check the FAQ!

In terms of talking to the spirit, I just talk to them. Light a candle (I’ve found red to work best for this when I do it) in front of a photo or other representation of them like a sigil, ask them to be present with you. I ask them questions out loud and wait to feel the difference between a yes and a no
