Ive spent 15 years learning and practicing within the Golden Dawns system of Magick. There are certain pagan traditions I've adopted as well, such as Yuletide, and the solstice's. But Id like to have a hand at proper Green Witchcraft and spell work.

Has anyone managed to blend these two practices? And how so. Im super curious.

They're so different. One is based on structure and the arch angels. The other is rooted in intuition and elements. Im not quite sure HOW I can intermix these systems. Id love to hear any ideas. Or book recs.

I’m interested in hearing from people who have worked with spirits, deities, or other beings. Have you ever had an experience that felt physically tangible such as a touch, pressure, movement, a distinct presence, or an interaction with an object?

What happened, and how did you interpret it at the time? Did anything help you distinguish the experience from expectation, coincidence, or environmental factors?

I’m not looking to debate anyone’s beliefs.

I’d appreciate thoughtful accounts and different perspectives.

My family and I have been going through terrible sleepless nights because of a neighbor’s rooster that crows extremely loudly every morning, from around 3 AM to 6 AM. It’s gotten so bad that I sometimes wake up with my ears trembling from the noise, while my grandparents suffers from headaches.

Talking to the neighbor won't solve anything, and the authorities aren't helping either. Out of desperation, I've started considering supernatural approaches.

For those experienced with magick, are animals more susceptible to magical influence than humans? Are there particular methods, such as sigils or other forms magick, that might be effective in influencing an animal's behavior or encouraging its owner to relocate it?

I'd strongly prefer a harmless approach, ideally something that would make the rooster quiet during sleeping hours or lead to it being moved somewhere else. However, I'm open to hearing about different methods, including people's experiences with similar situations.

ill try my best to keep it short

to put it bluntly, i cant practice magick peacefully and without interruption, at least not within my current living conditions, and so i think that is limiting a lot of which i want to do, i cant really make an altar or something, sure i can maybe light a singular candle, but whats the use of that if most rituals require more than that? i only ever performed 2 rituals targeted to Archangel Michael (chaos sigils too but i wouldnt say they have a high hit-rate for me), and id love to do a whole lot more, but again, my hands are tied here, even without interruptions, i cant even imagine myself explaining it to my parents of what im doing, and its not like im some teen that can get it written off as a phase lol

i really like angelolatry, you know when i had slightly more privacy and besides those Michael rituals ive practiced the lbrp i actually felt like im becoming a better person, but now it feels as if its starting to slip through my fingers, im especially interested in the shem angels, but most rituals to invoke them require quit a bit of effort, something i cannot allocate, well theres the GoM stuff i guess, but that ritual takes 11 days aswell and you need a place where you wont be bothered, dont like GoM tho

regardless, this isnt as much as a vent post as it is me asking for direction on what i should do to not slip, ill just go ahead and say this now - no, prayers do not work for me, ive prayed countless times and never have i felt anything, so what is there left to do? what other type of lowkey magick can i practice? like on the surface, there are so many ways of practicing, but when i actually try to put some thought into it, my head is empty, i have some elder futhark(probably elder) runes laying around i got as a gift, you know the basic lo scarabeo ones, maybe runic magick? or talismans of sorts, i dont know, id highly appreciate if youd point to any resources or advice, thanks!

Hello. I realize my post might get deleted—I’m not entirely familiar with the rules—but I want to share my feelings and my own experience as a victim. People pay for occult services, only to find there are no results or that it simply doesn't work. I know there are honest people—extraordinary sorcerers and practitioners—out there, but unfortunately, the first time around, I was taken in by a fake psychic/medium who claimed to practice white magic; he scammed me and left me in tears. Things are much better now, but I still see people on this app getting scammed by impostors who pass off others' work as their own. I know there are genuine practitioners capable of honestly telling a client whether a requested task is feasible or not. It is truly regrettable that some people take advantage of others' distress; it is a scourge that shouldn't be ignored—such individuals need to be reported. Unfortunately, I couldn't report the person who scammed me because they had created a temporary account and are no longer reachable, not even by phone. So, please, be careful. Also, since I’ve been on this app, someone has contacted me; I haven't replied because I’m afraid. I’d like to know if this person is reliable and if they are a genuine practitioner.

is it only me or are you guys feeling this dose of energy that happened literally minutes ago

I was just sitting there then I feel it suddenly

it is so strong Idk what is it exactly but its peak lasted for ~3 mins and it settled now

if you have any info please provide it I am really curious

Me and my husband, also a chaos witch, have been invited to write a chapter of a book about Eco-witchcraft. We thought to ask a series of questions to all kinds of witches that self-identify with the concept as we would like to understand how witches that self-identify with the concept understand it.

I would be very grateful if any of you want to answer some of the questions.

Thanks!!

1 Do you consider yourself and Eco-witch? If so, what does it mean to you?

2 do you think that giving an eco dimension to our witchcraft is important for you, your community and/or the planet? Why?

3 In which ways do your "eco values" translate into your practice? And into your life?

4) how does your belief system/atheism relate to your craft and to your "eco" values?

5 how does the way you see non human animals relate to your craft, your belief system and your "eco" values?

6 what strategies, if any, do you use to reduce the environmental impact of your witchcraft?

7 What's in your opinion the role that "eco -witchcraft" can play in building a more resilient, kind, joyful and just world?

8 please, share any other ideas you'd like to share

Thanks so much!!!🌸

So for a few years my family is going through a rough time all of a sudden, my dad broke his leg, mom went psychotic, I couldn’t land a job or getting really ill , for a few days i noticed this red hibiscus flower on our front gate’s spike , most probably done by our neighbours. I don’t want spread hate against them , but , i want to know if it’s possible to find out what’s going on really , or anyway anyone can help . It came to me a bit late that we shouldn’t have touched it so my mom asked our house-help giving him proper details what it could be and they willingly threw that into fire i couldn’t get any pictures of it . For details you guys can dm me any moment . I’m all ears for suggestions. I hope this doesn’t come out as a demand , I’m requesting any kind of help possible.

Does any one know of (or used) magical methods for controlling invasive weeds? I've got a nasty infestation of osage orange on my property that makes it difficult to do almost anything in there.

I work in a Christian animist / neo-platonic framework; so right now my best guess is to encourage the spirit of the osage orange to depart from the land, but I'm unsure of how to go about that.

Peace

For context, over the past month or two, visions of snakes keep popping up. While I meditate or direct my energy, I keep getting images of snakes in my mind, or physically feel one on my body. At first it was distracting but ever since it started it felt like my spells have been far more potent. They even started popping up in the real life. There was one near my car the other day, and one at a renfaire a few weeks back that didn’t stop looking at me

I’m wondering if this could be some sort of guide or deity? I’ve always loved snakes but they have never invaded my mind like this before.

1) I have a small bedroom and live at home still so my ritual space is a little bit Freeform. To create a “magical space” currently my routine is to light 6 tea light candles, place them in the shape of a large hexagram (probably 3.5/4ft across) and I sit inside of the hexagram before doing my LBRP and so on.(reasoning for this is aligning myself as the pentagram with the energy of the universe, or the hexagram)
2) During the LBRP-instead of using the banishing of earth at all four corners- I have been using the individual elemental banishing pentagrams and the corresponding direction. Is there any negative to preforming the LBRP this way?

Thanks for reading🖤

I'm not sure what the general consensus on the field is, but right now, i am not talking about forgetting trauma or similar, but rather forgetting abkind of a useless set of knowledge, that is affecting negatively my daily life.

I’m having a really tough time trying to find my stance on Christianity. As an ex Christian I firmly believe taking the bible literally is one of the worst things affecting people. I value the knowledge and wisdom within it but certain passages/concepts/ideas/etc are so disturbing and maddening I can only call it propaganda. I can’t come to any conclusion other than Christianity being corrupt, I find the notion that there is a “man in the sky” that eternally punishes those who don’t obey them downright psychological harm.

But at the same time I respect others beliefs, and as much as I want to I don’t go around trying to tell every Christian they are following a lie. But part of me feels I should because it hurts to see others follow, what is in my opinion, thier enemy. Organized religions that use shame and fear are constructs employed and upheld by the people in power to manipulate and control us. And it kills me when someone is genuinely trying to “help” me by telling me otherwise, and it kills me even more when I do my best to tell them my point of view and they just ignore or insult whatever I tell/show them.

I’m just tired of all the lies we deal with and I want to do everything I can to combat them and bring the “truth” as close to the public eye as possible without trampling on peoples beliefs or making them feel attacked. I want to “fight the good fight” but I feel unable to or stuck, it is maddening to be so “aware” in today’s world.

Open to any and all suggestions that don’t involve flat out “ignoring Christianity”. Because in my opinion Christianity is an enemy to humanity and I refuse to let it grow and spread. I just desperately want the truth to be recognized as truth again, and I understand it probably won’t happen in our lifetimes but I want to do everything I can to help bring that day closer

Hi guys Idk how to really use reddit but I'll try my best

I almost don't know exactly how to say what I'm looking for but here it is

I realy want to study a magick system or philosophy so far from us

I dont want it to be historical i want it pre historcal Not the far futer the super far future, maybe the time earth wouldn't exist Not stars away from us. galaxies apart. Like galaxies are the signs in it Not a son .a black hole Entities watching the solar system being formed The system does not categories things in elements planets or dark or light ( at least in the western esoteric form that we are familiar with)

( also nothing earthy and by it I mean from nature)

I hope i did demonstrate what I wanted well enough for you to understand

Any way thanks for reading and any comment is highly appreciated

I am 58 and have practiced some form of spiritual/magickal practice on and off for 30-something years. I am not exactly a massively disciplined person, and I have had different times in my life where I was doing more stuff than at other times.

I have done the work, though. I have worked hard on myself to improve myself, to be self-aware, etc. Yet I cannot SEE if I am who I manifested myself to be.

I am not happy with my life, despite trying to be a good, moral person....

Sometimes I wonder if I missed something, or if my mental health overrode any work I did to try to manifest good things. Did I just end up manifesting this life?

I am trying again....

But has anyone else who has some age on them taken a moment to reflect and see how much their magickal work has actually done for them? Has it done a lot of good for you?

Are there things you could have done better, knowing what you know now? Looking back over the years, what do you think you got right, and what do you wish you had understood sooner?

Had a few quick questions. I'm reading several Chaos Magic books that indicate Sigils should be forgotten either before or after chargin, to avoid lusting after results. Some books say the forgetting is the most important step.

So I'm confused...

Question 1.) Some authors recommend doing a Tarot divination before charging to avoid inadvertently creating unintentional black magic. This seems like a great idea, but in what order should I do all of this? I'm thinking create sigil, divine outcome, forget, charge. Otherwise, I'm not sure I could interpret a Tarot divination without remembering or knowing the sigils purpose.

Question 2.) My current plan is I create several sigils throughout the week, then don't charge them for several days, so I forget which one is which. I keep an online spreadsheet of sigils. I record the date I created them and charged them and generally what the Tarot divined. I write the purpose down in the spreadsheet, but then black it out so I can't see it. A few times a year (typically around a holiday) I reveal the sigil purpose field and measure the results. I'm trying to be an open-minded skeptic using a scientific, results-based approach. What are the flaws of this system I'm overlooking? Should I add or change the process in any way?

Question 3.) I'm confused about servitors since their nature is persistent. They are a type of sigil, but you can't exactly forget their purpose without forgetting about them altogether. How can I mentally satisfy what appears to be an inconsistency? It feels like building a robot to clean my house, then trying to forget I built a robot while it is still stomping around cleaning my house.

Question 4.) Finally, books suggest that you can't JUST do Magick, you have to also do all the material stuff too. For example, if I create and charge a sigil for "It is my intention to lose 10 pounds", I then have to forget, or at least not lust after results. Simultaneously, I have to also diet and exercise, rather than relying on just the Magick, but to do those things I would be lusting after results and constantly reminded of the Sigil. Again, how do I satisfy what appear to be contradictory instructions?

I may be way overthinking things, or maybe I'm reading too many books at the same time. Any practical guideance is appreciated.

So I’ve (27F) had a sudden breakup with my ex boyfriend (29M) in June. It was emotionally and physically devastating and after a couple months I was feeling better and back to my old happy self, but I’ve noticed ever since the breakup around my period I get this overwhelming sadness and I could only think about him and I get to the point where I cry and feel depressed, but right after my period ends I get back to my peaceful nature and I don’t think of him. I noticed this only around my period dates so I’m confused as to why I only feel this emotional at that time, and now that it’s been a while after the breakup and I still feel like this per my last period I’m starting to doubt that he might be doing some manifestations or magic on me.

So am I being paranoid and it’s all good and it’s just my body playing tricks on me or am I onto something ? I only seek some answers to these doubts.

Thank you guys.

I have been looking for a way to create a talisman in a digital medium. In my search what I tend to find is some soft of image that people save to their phone and while there is nothing wrong with that, I am looking for something a bit more personalized and intricate.

I am open to almost anything including basic coding, image manipulation, etc but I think I am not sure even exactly what I am looking for. Just some soft of talisman in some vague form that will protect me that I can create digitally.

Sorry for the vagueness of the post, it is also a very vague concept in my head. I am super open to any and all ideas

why do the sacred books of the abrahamic religions forbid magic in such simple language? if this prohibition is merely a misunderstanding could someone who grasps the deeper meaning of these passages enlighten me?

I usually write down what I want to release and do a burning ritual on full moons. but I woke up to my period today. and after a dark night of the soul that lasted years, I want to cultivate this feminine energy and do a ritual / spell that releases the negativity, distortion & darkness. I'd also want to amplify the energy of self love and self devotion - which I'm currently very much focused on. could I do both or would you suggest just to focus on one. and is it the right energy for calling in self love and devotion or should I leave it for the new moon? I feel I need to do something special! any ideas, spells or rituals that feel would be helpful for me? ♥️ 🌹 tysm x

edit - had a beautiful night. released energy with a burning ritual of all unserving energy. and then had a gorgeous self love bath with lots of herbs, roses, oils and spoke healing into myself and the bathwater. 😍🛀🌹

Its kind of hard to get out what im trying to get out so ill just kind of share my journey.

Around 8 years ago I first found my practice of mysticism. It came to me naturally through dreams and synchronicity without ever learning about established systems, and through that I found myself meditating, doing astral work, and consulting the I Ching, amongst other things. This led me to higher states of consciousness and eventually theophany. Then came the crash into the abyss. This is where I started to read and learn about Magick, and began practicing it. Unfortunately this practice has been a struggle in the abyss because ultimately this Magick practice of mine was ultimately ego-led, like trying to hold on to things who's true face had already been revealed to me, searching for shiny magick shit (not that there's anything inherently wrong with this if thats your journey, its just not what my heart truly wants). Anyways, things are getting better, and I'm finally beginning the journey of letting go of the ego shit keeping me from my True Will or whatever you'd prefer to call it, and doing the practical things to inhabit what I experienced before I fell into the abyss. One of the things that I've realized that has held me back from moving forward is the fact that I've been barely functioning with undiagnosed ADHD my whole life and is a huge part of why I struggle so hard with my practice. Im talking to my doctor about trying to get medicated to help give me a step up with getting more stable.

I am curious what people's experiences are who struggle with focus and consistency because of neurodivergence, and also their experience with medication in relation to their practice. I have a few specific questions but would also would greatly appreciate hearing about your journey with both your condition and your practice.

1. How has your practice helped your symptoms?

2. How do you think your symptoms affect your practice?

3. If you are medicated how does this affect your practice?

4. How important is your practice for you to keep you functioning on a basic level?

5. Do you base any part of your work specifically geared towards helping your neural issues?

Thanks guys!

I wanted to come here and share my experiences with you guys. I think this is my first post here ever and I may have never even made a comment. So basically, yes I'm a lurker, lol.

I came into this as a skeptic, but I also have a deep reverence for things that I have seen in my past, with my family. As an adolescent growing up in the rural southern United States, I saw a lot of Scots-Irish folk magic. I didn't know what it was at the time, but looking back upon it I realize it for what it was. About two months ago, I decided to dabble with magic and see if there was anything to it. I'm not going to go into any detail about all of the research I did to re-create the magic that I used to see people perform, or rather the ceremonies they performed, but suffice to say that I bought some of Damon Brand's books and have been following those. I did all the work with creating a schedule and following the instructions and, long story short I asked for $5000 to manifest itself. Let me say that, for me that is not a huge sum of money; I am close to retirement age and money like that is easy for me to come to with just a little work. And I thought that when I cast that spell, it would manifest itself in something that I had done, that would pay me more than I was expecting.

So a couple hours ago, I was going through my closet and was looking for a key that I had put in a pocket in one of my jackets. I reached into one of the jackets at the front of the closet and in the pocket there were 50 $100 bills with a $5000 wrapper strapped around them. And I'm literally mind blown because I don't know how that even happened, because I know I would have never stuck that amount of money into the pocket of a jacket when there is a safe in the corner of the same closet! So tonight I'm gonna go say thanks to the angel that I called upon to bring me that money because I do not know how in the world that could've possibly happened because there is no other explanation. And yes, I'm now utterly convinced that there is legitimately something real about this, and I wanted you guys to know!

I’m fairly new to Magick, but not new to researching things because I’m curious about practices and other worldly things I don’t quite have a good understanding of.

Now, I see an overwhelming amount of posts on here and other forums telling people, or, more so warning them that love spells backfire. Obviously for a number of reasons I’m sure we could repeat dozens of times until the words lose their meanings. BUT! But… I suppose that there is magick and there are spells that can effectively align you with another person? Say, for research purposes only, and totally not at all myself! Of course not what?? That I wanted like a “dream man” of some sorts but he doesn’t exist in my life as a person, like I don’t have a name or a particular face, I just want a somebody. Where is the line that becomes whether or not it’s unethical or a poor use of magick to have said man or even person in general, same for a friend, a parental figure, etc. Could you technically cast without having the specific person in mind? Like a solid, concrete person? Just someone that spawned out of nowhere? Where could the potential backfire be in that?
