Wait… Who has powers?
Me or Lee?
Or both?

Both in my opinion. Only a witch if you choose to follow a magic path, though.

@CoolBeanz

Oh yeah, those would be lovely Christian websites. Who says witch hunts are over?

Not hunt. Just severely frowned upon. Not the same thing.

I know, I was being sarcastic, unfortunately it often doesn't read well over the internet.

STOP RUINING MY CUTESY WITCH ANIMES WITH THIS QUOTE-ON-QUOTE “REAL LIFE”

You're seriously more worried about an anime than learning and educating yourself about a different culture than your own?

I was making a joke about how I haven’t seen the real world in years because I’m glued to the screen, if I didn’t want to learn I wouldn’t have googled anything or even be a part of this chat

@Shuri-the-Floof-Doggo

I'd maybe start with a small meditation into your subconscious for the hedge witch part, and maybe try an easy potion for green. Luck is a good, simple, potion, and there are a lot of variations to choose from!

Alrighty. I'll see what I can do in my free time. I probably won't be able to do it today but hopefully some time this week.

I support you my kawaii witch bean!

Oh okay, understood. I was just a bit confused. Again with the sarcasm not reading well over the internet.

I don't need magic, honestly, but I might do so…
I'm purely a creature of usefulness. If it could help me save lives, maybe…

Yeah! Good luck to you! And if you need more help/recipes/ resources I can give them to you. I know a few good pagan resource websites and a few of them have recipes on them.

Yeah lmao I appreciate the sarcasm but at first I didn't interpret it that way because the internet is a tone barrier.

I'm good with this stuff too! I'll be here to help!

Yes please I don't know which sites to trust on this kind of stuff.

@CoolBeanz

Saving someone's life takes a LOT of energy, man. More energy to do magically than doing it on your own. I tried to do a spell to save someone, not only did it not work but I was pretty much magically useless for the next week, as if I didn't feel horrible enough already. I'd advise against using magic to do that. Magic where you try to change a person's mind is the hardest kind, it's much easier to use your words, and usually if your words won't sway them, neither will magic.

Well. I can already save lives.
I already have saved multiple people.
Anything to make it easier, would be nice.

@CoolBeanz

https://www.llewellyn.com/ Llewellyn is a GREAT resource. Probably the greatest resource for any witch out there. I know I use the things published under them CONSTANTLY. They list other trustworthy resources on their website I think, but I can look for more if you'd like. Most of the other sites I know are for more specific things, like Tarot and pagan calendars.

Mind the hubris.

@Shuri-the-Floof-Doggo

Mm. I'll give the site a look.

@Shuri-the-Floof-Doggo

Mind the hubris.

Mm.

@RedTheLoveless

I'll take a look around the site when I have time. Thank you so much!

@CoolBeanz

Shuri…. I'm telling you be careful with that sort of stuff. You don't want to give too much of yourself away.

@CoolBeanz

Of course!

@Shuri-the-Floof-Doggo

Shuri…. I'm telling you be careful with that sort of stuff. You don't want to give too much of yourself away.

I'll give anything to keep my loved ones safe.
My heart included. You guys and everyone else are my main priority.

Sorry about the tone shift…

@CoolBeanz

I should also add that Llewellyn is specifically a resource FOR listing other resources. It's a pagan publishing company, what I usually do is find things they list on their website that apply to what I want to know, write them down, and look for them at the library or a free sample online. They're not a blog like other pagan sites, where the resource is the site itself.

@CoolBeanz

Don't be sorry. If you give away your entire heart, then you'll never have anything left to give. You need to allow yourself time and space to heal, you can't just give and give and give or else you won't be able to help anyone again.

@RedTheLoveless

Ah! Sweet! Thank you so much!

@CoolBeanz

Of course! Happy to provide!

@Shuri-the-Floof-Doggo

I thought the universe had a way of balancing itself according to most forms of witchcraft…
If I keep giving, I'll keep getting, right?
And then I can give more away.

I know That's a gross oversimplification, but still…

@CoolBeanz

Exactly, balance. If you give of yourself, you'll eventually get in return, but you still have to wait for that to happen, things aren't immediate. But if you use magic, or draw on outside powers, then it drains FROM you, because that's how it balances it out. If you use the energy from other things, you need to prepare to lose just as much of your own energy. That's why you need to be careful. If you try to use enough magic energy to stop someone from dying, that balancing act will bring you just as close to death. It's a dangerous game. That's why most people don't try to mess with controlling people, changing people's minds, stopping death, or starting life. All of those, that's necromancy and it's a horrible and greusome kind of magic. It leaves shells of people, people literally have dismembered body parts trying to appease the balance. It's never good enough, because in necromancy, you deal with forces that are outside your control. It eats at you from inside out. Stay away from any of that sort of stuff.

@Shuri-the-Floof-Doggo

Of course I don't plan to do anything dangerous like that…
But I just need a little boost.
I may have unintentionally done something of that caliber once and I'm just fine…

@CoolBeanz

Also, on an extremely different note, woah. This thread got big fast. I was not expecting that.

@Shuri-the-Floof-Doggo

It did!

@CoolBeanz

If you need little boosts, use luck charms on yourself, or give the person a strength potion or something. Those are safe ways to use magic to help. What did you do?
