That makes two of us.
Have you discovered what element you connect with yet? I find that is usually the first thing a witch/wiccan discovers

I… Don't know how you figure that out.

That's okay. There's actually no such thing.
Forgive me for trying to catch you out… One can never be too careful these days.
is extremely relieved, thinking I was missing something
Scared me there.

I am sorry. Though, especially online, it is very difficult to determine true users from ones who are just in it for kicks.
How have you been finding it? The learning I mean. You said you're on your own for it, so it must be difficult. We are all here to aid you should you have questions.
I've mostly been stuck trying to find books and things online (The latter, I do not trust a ton). I did a couple spells that don't require a circle, just 'cause I'm too scared to try and raise that energy and I don't have a safe place to do it, and they both worked, just not as well as I think they would have with a fully practiced witch. My BF's mom is wiccan and got him into it a bit, so he lent me a book and was going to teach me how to raise a circle (that never happened)
group
What spells did you cast, if you don't mind me asking? I'm always intrigued when it comes to the types of spells that other witches/wiccans perform.
It was a small prosperity spell that just required me putting a penny in a basket every day and say some words. And…. this is gonna sound cheesy…. a love spell to strengthen my relationship with my BF…..
group
You're right, that does sound cheesy, but cute nonetheless.
I've never found love spells as something that work for me, but then again, love is an area that I do not dare tamper with. I personally believe in letting strong relationships form naturally, but to each their own. I'm glad they both worked for you though ^-^

Oof, the only spell I've done is a money jar and a charm I found online (I think it was a fake, but I tried it anyways.)
I wanted to use the spell just because it was hard trying to find time to be together to naturally strengthen our relationship. That's what I was using it for.
What was the charm for Unseelie?

Just protection.
It didn't work.
Oof.
My love spell was a talisman with a lot of spices and some lavender essential oil, and I was super worried people would smell it and ask why I smelled like an herbal shop. It was bad enough when I was changing my shirt for my fashion design class and this really nasty, judgmental girl asked what the pink pouch on a chain around my neck was, and I just stayed quiet and she just got even nastier to me and my friend when he stood up to defend me, and started trash-talking us.
And I just kind of went mute for the rest of the class.
group
Sorry but like why is it any of her business why you had a pouch around your neck?
Is it effecting her life? No. So why does she have the right to judge you for that.
I'm sorry, I just hate it when certain individuals think it is okay to pick out little things on people and judge them for it. Especially when it comes to judgement of the craft and the way people choose to use it.
I knew she was going to get judgemental and ask a lot of questions if I told her I'm a witch and was working on a spell, because of course, media has to screw everything up for people's perspective of the craft…
But yeah, that class sucks. (Im in it right now)

Yo! For Christmas (my family celebrates it so I milk out gifts for it) I'm asking for a deck of tarot, but I'm an Amazon and I'm trying to find a good deck that I like. If I can't, I'm just going to make some.
Oh!! I always wondered about tarot cards and want to make my own, but I don't know what cards are in a deck.

Oof no no no
You need to buy your deck in person.
Tarot is an extension of your conscious and unconscious mind, the cards need to call to you and you to them.
Energy exchange and all that.
Not sure if it's related, but my mother always told me you're not supposed to get your first pack of Tarot for yourself. Though from what I've seen, it does sort of seem to be more out of tradition/some sort of symbolism thingy than anything that might affect anything, so you probably don't have to worry too much about it.

I made my first set XD
But yes, I'm asking my father if we can go to an apothecary with a nice place with a bunch of tarot sets soon, so I should be able to convince him to get me one.
I'm so glad I joined this chat, I never knew any of that. I hope I can learn even more!
Hey guys, does anyone here celebrate Yule?
group
Automatic response: Who doesn't?
I do, why do you ask?
Just 'cause I want to know how people celebrate Yule, and I'm also sad I cannot celebrate it myself….
Huh. It will be my first time actually celebrating Yule this year. Any tips/advice/suggested things I should do?
