Hey Guys! I'm doing some research for a book and while I'm familiar with witchcraft I'm by no means an expert. Could anyone list some herbs and what they're used for? Such as potions and what kind of effects the potion has.
And maybe some crystals and what they are used for?
Thanks in advance!

Hey uh,,,,, does anyone know a spell to keep my abuser from hurting me again? School just started, and he’s at the same school as me, and I need as much protection as possible… this guy’s an incredible manipulator, and I had a full-fledged panic attack after seeing him-

Oh dear, I went through that for a few years with my ex after he sexually abused me and no one believed me or helped. I ended up changing schools. But I don't know anyone here so it's awful, I hate that he drove me away from the high school and people I basically grew up with. Feel free to DM me if you need to talk about anything

Oh god, moth (can i call you moth?) that's horrifying. Uhm. I'm still a beginner, so take any advice of mine with a grain of salt unless someone else backs it up. But. First, get a white candle. Can be a tealight, votive, pillar, even container candle, just so long as it's white. I'd suggest not a container candle, but if that's all you have it can work too. Cleanse your candle. This can be done through just pure energy if you like, though the way I do it is by rubbing oil (very lightly! Oil can be flammable so please don't use a ton of it!) over the surface of the candle. Rub it from the bottom up to bring something, and from the top down to get rid of something. In this case, since you want protection, I'd suggest rubbing from the bottom up. While the oil is still wet and sticky is when you can dress it. Rosemary is a really good one for this case. If I remember correctly, cinnamon and basil are good too. While I'm talking about basil! Bay leaves are also excellent. For you, I'd say just write "protection" on the leaf, and burn it with the intention of bringing protection to you. Bam. Anyways back to the candle. Adding the herbs to the candle itself is optional, you can also just sprinkle them around the candle. If you go this method, a good way is to make a circle and go clockwise, while again keeping the intention of "this will protect me". If you do sigil work, you can add sigils to the candle by carving them in either before or after you add the oil and herbs. Give the oil some time to dry (for safety; you don't want it catching fire!) and then burn it, focusing on the fact that burning this will help to protect you

In the end though, witchcraft is a tool, and can't do everything. I would suggest also taking steps to ensure you don't interact with him. Whether that's transferring classes so you aren't in any with him, or taking it up with the school (I don't know if what he did is something the school could/should kick him out for, but either way you should try talking to a counselor)

Anyway, like I said, someone else in the thread should hopefully be able to confirm what I've said? Because I'm still a beginner and while everything I've said is based on the research I've done, I could still be wrong

Also, Spacecat! I have some YouTubers whose videos you could watch for more info

  • The Witch of Wonderlust
  • Chaotic Witch Aunt
  • the Green Witch

they all have some really great info that should be helpful for what you're looking for :)

So apparently there's a shop with metaphysical stuff like 2 blocks from my house :)))
Stopped in to check it out today and got a "housewarming" candle
Still need to go through and cleanse but the AC isn't working and even just moving eats up my energy

@Becfromthedead group

Update: I got the incense lit but got a blister on my thumb from trying (and failing) to turn on the lighter too many times
I should probably just buy one of the long lighters tbh

@berlioz
