tune

Am I gonna walk fifteen minutes in 80 degree heat to a metaphysical shop? Mayyybe

Do it.

We on our way

The door is locked so I rang the bell after walking around the building several times and no one's answered yet
I swear if I walked all the way here for nothing I will scream

Time to scream :))

Noooo, that sucks

I also misplaced my amethyst pendulum
But I made mac and cheese and gave ares an offering

Do sound bowls make anyone else want to throw something/scream? Because I'm so sick of them popping up in videos and ppl are like "good vibes 'n love" and i'm like "bitch if you don't stop with the sound bowl i'm going to throw my computer"

also I just realized one of my manifestations actually worked so that's awesome

sound bowls make the most horrible noise and I hate them

tbh i think any metal thing that makes noise is disgusting (except bells). I just watched a video where a dude was hitting tuning forks and i flinched every. single. time

Also I've just been kinda discouraged with my witchcraft lately, to be honest. Like…it's just really hard to do anything bc of my parents, y'know? Plus it's really hard to have good energy for any spellwork when I'm terrified they're gonna come in and figure out what I'm doing, which means I don't end up doing any spellwork at all even though I should. It's just,,,,, shitty

Also I want y'all's advice on this: love spells/manifestations of a specific person? Because I've heard they're bad and I've heard they're fine. The person making the point that they're fine is a source that I trust since she's been right about other things, and her specialty is like, sex magic/love magic/that kind of thing. Her point was "it's an influence but it has nothing to do with their free will. It will not take away free will, it just exerts a light to medium influence over their emotions about you. The level varies depending on their own force of will, but it never takes away their will and choice to choose". I can find and link the video if y'all want it. But. I'd like your opinions, please?

You just be you, they may disagree with your belief, but they're your parents and they'll love you no matter what. I used to practice (actually I still do) outside because 1, I just didn't feel comfortable in the household I was living in, I thank God that's over, and 2, I'm just in love with nature, and that's where I feel at home. I didn't care what time it was, when I felt like talking to my spirit guides, give myself a reading, do a ritual, or just go for a walk I'd do it… And YES, I am encouraging you to sneak out to do what you love. Or maybe you don't have to sneak out and if they wondered where you went, you just tell them that you went for a walk (although it kinda sounds like your parents are fairly strict.)
You be who you are and continue doing what you are destined to do, remember that this is your path, not theirs.

I believe love magic is very grey, along with any other future readings, I don't do it for myself because I'd rather my love life be more spontaneous and mysterious, and I don't want to make the mistake of putting too much faith in the reading. I may have tried out a few readings in the past just because of curiosity, and I strongly trust spirit, so I do believe everything, but for love readings I just believe it's an opportunity or prediction and not what's going to actually happen… Overall I believe spirits, angels, gods, and other entities cannot see the future, just like alive human beings, we can only predict what will happen, and some of us are better at it then others. It is us who shape our future, not magic, magic only guides us and give us hope.

I see what she was saying, and she does sound correct to me. I agree with her, you can do things such as magic or any psychological manipulation tactic to make you seem more attractive, the way you control energy is an important thing to learn and I'm positive it is used in this type of magic, although I am not an expert, hence I do not practice this type of magic myself. It is only the person who can make the choice for themselves, even though magic/energy can make some temptations more difficult.

It's up to you if you want to practice this magic, or get it done on you. I'm personally interested in this, just because I love gaining knowledge, so if you could find the video that would be great ^ ^

Idk where you all are at with your spirituality, but I wonder if anyone else had super weird experiences when they opened their third eye, and I'd like to share mine. I got headaches at 2:22 am and pm for multiple days straight, then I'd wake up at 10:00 every night, I had no idea what was going on… One day I went for a walk somewhere, then when I was walking back home someone's address was 222, and that did it, I googled "wtf does 222 mean?!" Then I found out that it was synchronicity. The next day I began studying numerology.

Then, I went through my spiritual awakening which felt amazing at first, like I didn't feel human. A few weeks later life turned into shit, and I became a hermit… I did A LOT of research during that time. I learned that I had to overcome most of my problems, but the main problem was I didn't know what any of the problems were, so I unblocked whatever was wrong with my solar plexus. Then I slowly overcame so much, and I feel like a new person now. So for those who have not gone through this yet, it'll be wise to do some research beforehand. This took me approximately 6 or 7 months to get through?

Now! I am gonna activate my lightbody, I'm so excited.

Another thing to add,
(I apologize if I'm talking too much, I just don't have anyone else to talk to about this stuff.)
Do any of you know what twin flame is? I feel like I have one, like that there's a strong part of me that's missing, there are times that I feel certain emotions for no reason and it doesn't make any sense, then there are other times that when I feel upset I get a comforting feeling, usually like a hug, then I get a random feeling of intimacy. At first I thought it may have been one of my spirit guides, but I just knew it wasn't. My spirit guides are like "You know what to do," or "You may be sad now, but you'll feel better later." Kinda thing. If I truly need comfort from them, I'm lucky enough for and animal or person to enter the room. And if I really need help they'll do whatever they can, but not a hug, they'll do much more then give me a hug… Also, I grounded myself earlier today, and I don't feel grounded anymore, and now my heart chakra needs to be repaired, I feel lonely and sad even though Ik I'm not lonely and my life is going perfectly fine, idk what could've damaged it… If any of you feel or have felt a similar way, it would be great to know I'm not the only twin flame here… This is getting annoying, like I'm nurturing myself 24/7 because the second part of me is probably going through shit atm… I mean the best I can do is keep working on myself and chakras, and that should help my other half right? I kinda wonder what would happen after I activate my lightbody, will they too? Idk, I kinda feel like I'm ahead on this spirituality stuff… Or I'm just trapped in lala land… Idk what's real anymore! I'm just gonna um, ground myself lol.

My parents are pretty conservative Christians, and I am…..not lmao so. Thanks for the encouragement tho, it's very appreciated!

Ahh i see, makes sense. Thanks for the input!

I love singing bowls

I feel you on this
I really love doing readings on myself and asking the divine questions but it takes time and space that most of the time I just don't have. My parents can be invasive and don't knock. However, I've worked what I consider a pretty powerful secrecy/protection spell thing that gives me a decent amount of reassurance about the security of my tools and witch related internet research. Working a protection spell over your craft might not give you the time and space you need to practice, but it might make you feel better.
And remember you don't have to do spellwork to be a witch. In my opinion, it's more about recognizing and working with energies, which you can do just by walking around, especially outside. Bring the outdoors in as well. Just taking a breath and recognizing the divine in something (and yourself!) is witchcraft.
You could also plan spells so that when you do get the house to yourself (if you do at all) or are able to go on a private walk you're prepared to work your magic as soon as you can.

Also really great advice! I just…I can't do a lot of research because so many websites that would be helpful are clearly witchy, and my parents can see what websites I visit. So research is pretty much impossible. And I know spellwork isn't everything, but like…the presence in my room, for one thing. I can't speak with him because I don't have enough time at night where I can be sure that no one is going to come in or hear me, and I don't want my mom or dad to come in and I'm sitting on the floor with some crystals and a book and a candle with most of my lights off. Because that's…clearly witchy lmao

I'm in the same position. Example: One time I was cleansing my room and my dad thought I was using the sage to cover up the smell of weed, which was not the case. I don't smoke weed in my room, nor would I do something so obvious to cover it up, but if I told him why I was doing it he'd accuse me of witchcraft. Like yes, exactly, but also no bc he thinks witchcraft equals devil worship.

Either my roommate is already a witch, or she's gonna be soon. She has a bunch of crystals and a shit ton of plants. Sooo many plants

At Marshall's and they were selling "smudge kits" of white sage and Palo Santo. Holy fuck

Unsurprising
