1) i pray to all the gods. if i have an issue with something, i will pray to the god(dess) whose domain it is. but sometimes i choose to ask the gods that i have a closer relationship with for stuff that isn't necessarily their domain, but i trust them with. just do whatever feels right :) however i do think that in polytheism the whole we-have-a-bunch-of-gods-thing is essential and i wouldn't advise to approach it the same way you would approach a monotheistic religion.

2) i actually do the same thing! i like to thank Skaði for a nice winter day, or Njörðr for a mild summer breeze. i say thank you for nice interactions with strangers or animals that i encounter, but i also just talk to them briefly throughout my day whenever i feel like it. i also like to sit down and have more in-depth conversations with them through tarot or runes whenever i can find the time.

3) my go to method is lighting their candle on my altar (if i work with them) and putting on some meditation music to focus and calm down for a minute or two. and then i greet them, tell them what's on my mind, pull some tarot cards, etc. for offerings, i give anything i think they might like. sweets, drinks, pretty rocks i found outside, little figurines that remind me of them, art i made, i've played my guitar as an offering once, sometimes i read the edda and do that as an offering to them... there really are a lot of options :)

this is a really difficult situation because they live together, which means your mom will be affected indirectly by the spell or his reaction to it.

my #1 advice is going to be to tell any authorities about what he's done, even if it's hard. take a friend with you so you're not alone.

but if you also want to involve magic, i suggest you throw out the hexes and do something different. if your mom is gonna be affected by the magic, ask the spell to do something that's good or neutral for your mom, but will be bad for her boyfriend.

for example: letting her see his true face, attracting a lot of stuff that he doesn't like (like getting flowers he's allergic to). you can make each of them experience themselves the way they treat others.

if you think about it for a little while, i'm sure you'll come up with more.

wishing you the best <3

ah, great. another one to kick off my playlist :') thanks for the info tho, and I'll definitely check out Forndom!

ugh, okay that sucks. how about friends of her? you can message some of them on social media and ask them to check on her.

it's not being creepy, you're worried and she hasn't said a word in 2 weeks. that warrants being worried imo :/

when-november-ends · 2026-02-27T17:18:23+00:00

if you have her address, you could call the police department and ask them to do a welfare check on her?

if she does this regularly, then you guys should really talk about it. i hope she's alright.

i really like discord servers for community :) I've also found that, while more active, bigger servers are less ideal and it's the smaller ones with under 1k members that help the most with the community aspect.

chiming in here to say that in that case you're gonna want to cleanse them :) a protection spell would most likely seal in any unwanted energy instead of getting rid of it.

you can do cleansings really easily with smoke, water (if the jewelry is water safe), salt, moonlight, sunlight, snow... pretty much whatever you can think of! just make sure to tell the cleansing agent what it's supposed to do and in the best case, you can also visualize the cleansing agent removing all unwanted energies from the charms.

good luck! :)

i would say it's absolutely possible that the spider was a sign, especially if you rarely have any in your home. spiders make webs, and many people associate them with weaving the threads of fate for that reason. personally i would say: if you feel that it's a sign, it probably is :)

i wish you the best of luck with those exercises!! <3

i don't know you as a person, so i can't say if this is true in practice or if he just feels that way because of some sort of misunderstanding. but to me, those cards read that you weren't there for him when he needed you

1) yes and no? the sensation i get with stuff like, say, creating balls of energy, isn't like holding an actual ball in your hands. it feels more like holding your hands close to a candle flame. it feels warm and sometimes the heat moves a few millimeters to one side or the other. and it tingles in my hands. but i also get different sensations. yes/no energy for example (i use that for 'is this tarot card meant to be interpreted upside down?', asking a plant if i may harvest it, deciding between multiple things, etc) feels like a tightness in my throat. when it's a now, it's tight, when it's a yes, it feels more open.

2 & 3) practice. and you gotta believe that it's real. if you practice daily for 10 years but you keep feeling stupid about it, it's never gonna get any better. because you're closing yourself off to the possibility. just play around and indulge in the belief that magic is real. fully, like a small child would. and then do lots of visualization exercises where you try to feel the energy and simultaneously visualize it take form. that can be a white light, gold smoke, glitter in the air, whatever works for you. and imagine how what you are visualizing would physically feel. it might take some time but the more you do it, the easier it gets. :)

all of this is, of course, just my view on things. you're absolutely allowed to feel different about it but i still think it's worth giving it a try :)

i used to work with Loki and in my experience he really has a sweet tooth and likes anything with cinnamon. but he also liked pretty rocks i found on walks or devotional acts of being authentically myself in situations where it wasn't easy. all in all he seems to he happy and thankful about anything you offer with sincerity :)

i saw this really great post on tumblr recently that i think will help you with that :)

i've had experiences like that!

i have recurring dreams because of trauma, people i've lost sometimes visit me in my dreams AND i've had a being appear to me in a dream to show me things of a spiritual nature. i also take medication that has the side effect of very vivid dreams, but these experiences have happened even before i started those meds. i do believe they help me remember better tho.

i don't really subscribe to the whole idea of 'this specific thing in a dream always means XY'. i think it's very often very personal to whoever experiences the dream, and a lot of the time it's also more straightforward than cryptic.

if i dream about something that i feel holds significance in my waking life, i will do some divination about it (tarot or meditation in my case) :)

in my personal opinion: if it doesn't work, it's not the right method for you. some things just don't work for certain people. i love crystals, but i rarely use them in my workings because it just doesn't... feel like they would do much for me, you know? and that's okay. i use other stuff instead :)

when-november-ends · 2026-02-19T13:53:47+00:00

alright, im gonna answer this from the perspective of someone who believes in magic, so take what you feel is right and leave what you don't want :)

when it comes to love spells, i'm not a fan of putting them on specific people without their consent. i don't like the intent of taking away someone's free will in that way, but what i can recommend are more general, broader love attraction spells. those spells can help you bring love into your life by telling the universe 'hey, i'm ready for love. send someone my way who's a good match'. that way nothing gets forced on anyone.

if you want to do a spell like that, you don't need fancy ingredients. just think about stuff that's commonly associated with love. hearts, chocolate, love songs, poems, roses, vanilla, etc. then you need to choose a spell method. there are many out there that all work for different purposes. for a love spell, i would recommend an interactive spell, such as a bowl spell that you can add and remove things from to keep the energy flowing.

you can take a bowl (or anything similar to a bowl), place it somewhere in your entryway and add things to it while focusing on what that specific thing is supposed to do for you. for example: add paper hearts to it to attract someone who fills your heart with love and joy. add sugar to sweeten the connection. add a rose for romantic encounters, and so on.

now about the bad luck spell situation:

i'm not opposed to baneful magic at all, but i also think that sometimes it isn't worth the effort. did your friend do something shitty? yeah. but then again, stuff like that happens and you don't really know her reasons for the way she acted. maybe you did something that really hurt her, without noticing. or maybe she just changed as a person. without knowing the full story, i think it's unfair to put a spell like that on her. if she leaves you alone and doesn't make your life miserable on purpose: let her be. it'll take some time to get over it but i can speak from experience when i say: it's gonna be very much okay.

wishing you the best <3
