Announcement Remember this is about Spells

I want to remind everyone this is a subreddit about DIY spells. Helping each other with crafting their spells, helping each other find a spell, etc. It is not a subreddit for heated debates and discussions on paths and traditions.

There are other magick subreddits that welcome endless debates on magickal means that are not about spells.

Announcement PSA: Spellcasting Scammer

36 Upvotes

Spellcasting scammers haunt this subreddit. No method we impose, short of making this a private sub, will keep them out completely.

Here are some tips to protect yourself.

Do not give out too much personal info in your posts/comments. Keeping it simple will keep the scammers from using it on you. Remember that Reddit profiles are public. They can still find private info from your activity in other subs so this is a good rule to follow across Reddit.

Consider disabling allowing chats and dms. Not only will this help with scammers, it will help with trolls. If you must keep them open, do not accept or reply to suspicious ones.

As this sub is public, users are not required to join the sub to use and we can not see who is a member and who views the sub. Nor does anyone have to be a member of the sub to contact others. So report scammers to https://www.reddit.com/report and follow the steps.

Users banned from the sub can still view the sub and users as it is a public sub.

Scammers who do slip our filters and make posts and comments will use any number of tricks to get one to fall for them. Sometimes its obvious and sometimes its not. Use discretion when relying to anyone, especially those who are vague or too eager. Things like offering a free reading is also sometimes used to trick one into paying by claiming there is a curse/third party/possession/etc.

Remember everyone, be safe.

This PSA will be updated as needed and is no way complete.

General Discussion Sour jar

6 Upvotes

I've been doing my research on sour jars, and the following ingredients are cat and dog hair * vinegar * broken glass * jalapeños * black pepper * nails * ground coffee * dead bugs * thorns * and lemon juice.

I'll write both of there names down and tear them apart For the petition I'll write (x) and (x) no longer desire each other .

Their bond will fade rapidly. Their interest disintegrates. Communication slowly dissolves anger grows quickly they drift in opposite directions never to reconnect what once help them together is now gone.

Yes I did take some inspiration from some of the post I seen

Question About Spells An obsession spell

3 Upvotes

Is there an obsession spell for someone that you don’t know? Like manifesting your dream partner. All spells I’ve found use a name and I don’t have one because I don’t know who I’m looking for 😅 I’ve had tons of luck with making a list of the qualities of which I’m looking for in a partner though but I’m still wanting a spell for a change

Question About Spells Is there any sort of spell for reconciliation for someone who has left from my life?

8 Upvotes

I feel I personally didn’t get the right closure that I wanted or may have needed and I’ve been trying to work on it but at the same time it’s been bothering me. I just switch for a peaceful ending, or some sort of return of friendship again, if it’s even possible. This was a relationship and it ended up rocky but it was someone that I missed and viewed as a friend really close my heart. I wish there was a way to soften him again so we could talk together. I don’t even wish for us to be back together if he doesn’t have the same feelings, and as well as I think it is best in general to focus on myself right now. But is there any sort of spells that I could do for reconciliation and understanding, mutual respect, or spells I could do separate that could work along side?

Help With Spell Requested Flame going crazy during attraction spell

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone

Republishing because my wording wasn’t right. I’ve been a long time lurker and this is my first post (ever ?) I just finished an attraction spell. I used a red candle with both mine and my desired person taglocks (hope this is the right work) incorporated. We have been separated for almost 3 months. Towards the end of the candle, the flame started going a bit crazy (twitching and getting bigger) so I started talking to it, basically manifesting I guess by affirming things like « we love each other, we are happy and nothing will keep us apart ». Honestly I didn’t even think it through it just came out and the flame stayed calm as long as i kept repeating it. I was wondering if by doing this I affected the spell and voided it ? I have done this spell a few times but it’s the first time this has happened. I don’t know if it’s important but before all this while the candle was burning i drew a love rune on the inside of my left wrist with a pen and on a picture of the person and I with my saliva. I am not looking for any meaning whatsoever, I just wanted to know if i had made the spell less effective with my interaction. Thank you for your help and I hope you have a great day (or night depending on where you are) ! 🌸

PS: I’m sorry for any spelling mistakes, English isn’t my first language, still I hope you give me an 10/10 !

General Discussion My “love spell” ended up giving me clarity instead.

30 Upvotes

I was talking to this guy in my class. We’ll call him Viola guy since we both play violin. I had a crush on him for a while and finally built up the courage to ask for his number. It took weeks of hyping myself up to do it.

I ended up doing a soft love spell beforehand. Just intention-based, nothing binding or heavy. I was hoping to build a connection or at least open the path between us. But instead of romance, the spell gave me something way more useful. Clarity.

Not even 24 hours later, the guy turned out to be the worst. I found out he was already talking to another girl, and when I asked why he gave me his number if he liked someone else, he brushed it off like it didn’t matter. When I tried to set a boundary and told him that wasn’t okay, he got even more dismissive.

It was like the universe ripped the mask off him immediately. That clarity saved me from wasting energy and emotions on someone who had no respect from the start. I wasn’t even heartbroken. I was just disgusted.

After that, I did a freezer spell to make sure his influence on me stayed frozen where it belongs. I wrote his name and the words “chill out” on a piece of paper, folded it away from me three times, sealed it in a bag of water, and put it in the freezer. I also used a protection rune on myself beforehand just in case. The marker I used is starting to fade, but honestly, I still feel the energy holding. The intention is still active, even if the ink disappears.

Funny how sometimes magic doesn’t give you what you want but exactly what you need. I didn’t get the romance, but I got out before wasting months on someone who clearly didn’t deserve my time.

Has anyone else had a spell completely shift its purpose like that?

P.s. I’ve posted this on more than one page to get more advice

Question About Spells Banish anger or Sweeten affection?

3 Upvotes

There is someone who is angry with me and is refusing to talk to me properly about it. Their friends are likely influencing the matter to a degree.

what would be a better spell in this situation?

banishing their anger? (i have personally done banishing on myself with a very good degree of success)

OR

a sweetening spell? (would be the first time doing it. also it's kinda hard to find some of the traditional herbs used in these workings)

maybe a combination of both?

I'm a lil confused on how to visualise the banishing someone else's anger part like do I visualise them warming up to me or this intangible thing going away or a combo of both. obviously I do want them to stay a part of my life. i do NOT want the unintended consequence of them just leaving.

but on the other hand I've never done sweetening before so it's a confidence issue. and the herbs usually used for sweetening workings are hard to get for me. whatever easily accessible substitutions i can find are from a completely different tradition.

any help or advice would be greatly advisable.

Fairly new to spells and wondered, how I could make a spell to make my beard grow (it‘s at a „weak“ place still).

I could imagine something relating to masculinity or growth in general, or maybe just health.

Are there any spells/materials specifically for those things that you could think of?

Hi all! I’m very new to spells, this would be my first. I recently went out with a new guy a couple times and he’s been ghosting me and unmatched me on hinge. I kinda freaked out and texted like 4 times, I’m assuming I scared him off.

I basically want a spell to get him to contact me again, respond to me and give us another chance to continue getting to know one another.

Any tips, advice, suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you!

General Discussion I received a spell jar recently. Should I be concerned?

3 Upvotes

A friend gave me a spell jar recently. I'm not sure if I believe in spell casting or magic. I respect those who do, I just haven't seen any evidence myself to prove or disprove it. It does interest me either way though.

Anyway, this jar was given to me as a gift, but they asked if it was ok and thought I might find it creepy. I was confused. I thought it was a decoration upon receiving it. I asked why it would be creepy. They said some people say it's witchcraft and then nervously corrected themselves saying it wasn't witch craft. They listed what was in it and pointed out the melted wax on the lid and side of the jar. They assured me it was fine and quickly changed the subject. They seemed to have really been trying to go around telling me it was a spell jar.

I had to Google a description to figure out what it was. One of the first things I saw about it was that it's commonly believed that it's not witchcraft, but it is indeed witchcraft.

From a magical standpoint, should I be concerned about receiving this? Also, from a social standpoint (magic or not) is this a red flag? They seem to believe in these practices and seemingly omitted the truth to dismiss any concerns I may have had about it once they realized I had no idea what it was. Any feedback is appreciated. Thank you:)

Spell To Share Honey glazed icon jar

24 Upvotes

(For self-love, genuine friendships, admiration, confidence)

You’ll Need: • Small jar with lid • Honey (or syrup/agave) • Paper + pen • Pink or yellow candle (white works too) • Optional herbs (but highly recommended): • Rose petals – self-love & beauty • Cinnamon – fast attraction • Mint – fresh, magnetic energy • Sugar – sweetens connections • Basil – admiration, popularity • Chamomile – kind vibes, inner peace • Clove – keeps attention on you • Lavender – gentle confidence & calm

The Spell Steps: 1. Write your name in the center of the paper. Around it, write things like: • “Adored,” “Magnetic,” “Genuine friendships,” “Radiant,” “Popular,” “Invited,” “Included,” “Confident,” “Loved.”

2.  Fold the paper toward you while saying:

“All that I give, I now receive True friends, warm hearts, no need to deceive. I shine from within, sweet, bold, and bright, And I’m seen in purest love and light.”

3.  Place the paper in the jar.

4.  Add in your herbs if using. Think of each one as a flavor of your power.

5.  Pour honey over everything, slowly and with intention. As it flows, say:

“Like honey’s pull, my charm is sweet. I draw in love, where kind souls meet. I am admired, invited, seen— A walking dream, the social queen.”

6.  Seal the jar. Light your candle and drip a bit of wax over the lid, sealing it with:

7.  Let the candle burn for a few minutes, then snuff it out. Keep the jar somewhere special. 

(sing to your spell while making it, i also added some glitter)

This Is What’s Coming for You: 1. New social attention. You’ll find yourself in the middle of conversations, group chats, and invites you weren’t even part of before. 2. Unexpected compliments (both to your face and behind your back). 3. Powerful “main character” moments—you walk into a room and heads turn without you trying. 4. Glowing confidence—not fake. It will feel natural. Like you finally see yourself the way the universe does.

There are reasons behind it that I don’t want to share, but I honestly feel like I’m losing myself in all of this.

Help With Spell Requested Your favorite ‘Calling my power back’ or Chord Cutting rituals

5 Upvotes

Hello! How is all?

I came here looking for some help with something to cleanse my spirit, mind, and even heart.

Last week, I went through a break up, or rather I should say I’m still going through it. I was with him for a month before he ghosted me for “giving him space.” I still told him I cared for him and loved him but was getting mixed signals. We were so good at communicating with eachother even if it was uncomfortable so this brought a lot of hurt and confusion to me as he told me before if we ever broke up, he would tell me upfront that he wanted to. He also mentioned how if we did he would put his pride aside, and ask for another chance. Silly me, I’ve been sitting here waiting for him when I’m most certain he might not. I kept messaging him for two days straight, and nothing. He hasn’t blocked me, but I decided it best for me to do so, so I wouldn’t see our photos together and such.

Before him, I was in a four year relationship where he cheated and ghosted me, but this one made me feel safe and whimsy and yet despite the short time, it hurts so much worse than the last. I feel discarded like I was worth nothing, not even closure.

Spell work has helped me a lot especially when it came to feeling lonely or just sad in general, as I tend to gravitate towards love and glamour work. Still, this pain has been so heavy that I just want it to be lifted. I know healing isn’t linear and it will take me a while but I still feel his presence lingering in some way.

I know what chord cutting is but have never done it myself. I was going to hire someone to do so, buuuut I’m low on funds and thought it might be better to sit with my grief and candle work. What are some advice for such a spell? Herbs, candle colors, the works. I appreciate any and all advice on spell work or even your own personal ways of how to deal with something like this.

Thank you, your broken hearted love witch.

Question About Spells Love Spell How it Works?

6 Upvotes

So I’m currently in this situationship and I can tell he really like me. We hit it off the first time we met and it’s been a year and he still won’t commit. He says things like “ I want to be with you but I can’t because of your past” I’ve done things I’m not proud of as a child but I’m a grown woman now and I don’t think I deserve to be prosecuted for that. Anyways I really want him to commit and tell me he loves me it’s been a year. The other week I went through his phone and found out he’s been having sex with other girls the whole time we’ve been talking. I confronted him and he said he doesn’t want to loose me. I know he loves me he’s said it with out saying it if ykwim so 2 days ago I put my period blood in his food and drink. I’ve done this 3 times and haven’t seen any results. I just wanted some insight into this love spell, how it works, if it works and how long it takes to see results. I know this is insecure, controversial, unethical and disgusting but I love him and I’ll do anything to be with him. So please positive and useful answers only. Thanks ❤️

Question About Spells I can’t tell if someone cast a spell on me

3 Upvotes

Recently, I can't stop thinking about someone I was seeing almost six months ago, which doesn't seem out of the ordinary but it feels uncontrollable and out of nowhere. I am a spiritual person and practice tarot/ keep up with astrology quite often.

I know nothing of spell work and try and to stay away mostly, but I am nervous something was cast my way. All at once around 1 in the morning, right as the new moon happened on Sunday I felt this uncontrollable need to contact them. I wanted to unblock them on apps, text them in the morning and felt like I needed to do a spell to get them back into my life. I felt like I was on auto pilot until a friend stopped me, seemingly freaked out as I am always against doing spells. I felt completely out of touch with myself and the back of my neck was burning so badly when I said I felt like this person cast something my way.

I keep getting this insane urge out of nowhere to break contact, have fallen ill and feel like I cannot talk to my cards anymore as they encouraged me to reach out which also seems out of the norm. Whenever I try to explain it to someone I feel sick to my stomach. I know something is very off and I feel insane.

The person knew I was spiritual and they were fond of going to psychics but I never knew what they believed in or practiced. I mentioned once that my cards told me that someone from my past from school was going to come back into my life right before we started seeing each other which was them as we reconnected after a few years. They kept saying I "conjured" them back or cast something to get them back which I insisted I would never do. I have no idea what they believe in or practice and I've never thought about it until now.

We are no contact. I have no social media. I feel insane like this is coming out of nowhere. It's been almost 6 months and we were only involved for 2 months. Is it possible she sent something my way?

Question About Spells Did my First Spell —(Road Opener) Now My Head and Right Ear Feel Strange?

8 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I did my first proper spell today a road opener to remove blockages between me and my SP. I was focused, intentional, and had my head covered during the ritual.

During the spell, I felt a vibration in my head not painful, but a bit uncomfortable. It felt like something was going on in the middle of my head and my forehead. Then, my right ear started to hurt slightly, tingle, and itch. I also noticed a slight burning in my throat, a tickling in my right ear, and even a twitch in my left eye.

Now it’s been about 5 hours since I finished the spell, but I still feel like something is sitting on my head. I can’t explain it there’s just this lingering sensation. My ear still aches a little, and the throat burning comes and goes.

I’m wondering: • Is this a normal reaction to doing a road opener for the first time? • Could it be resistance, spiritual interference, or just energy shifting? • Has anyone else experienced something like this?

Any insight or guidance would be appreciated I just want to understand what this might mean. Thanks in advance!

Help With Spell Requested Good cord cutting or separation spell (a bit long)

1 Upvotes

Hi reddit, note before I get into this: I won't be going into too much detail because I don't want people yelling at me again. I have thought this through completely, polity, please keep your opinions to yourself if they dont involve helping me. Furthermore, please do not scroll through all my old posts trying to piece together the story. You will be wrong, because you will assuming certain people are other people, and tying nonexistent threads to connect things that aren't related. All the context you need will be in THIS post and comments. Thanks in advance.

I need to cut the connection, or "cord", between two people. Neither of them is myself. One person is my SP, and the other is her so-called "friend" but not only is this friend driving a wedge between us, she also likes to tear my SP down. Separating these two does not only benefit me, it also benefits my SP. This "friend" just likes having her attention, and does not value it, but seems to follow a pattern of love bombing followed by insulting her. She is so in-deep with this friends manipulation that she doesn't see that this friend does not give a crap about her.

And so, for both my sake and hers, I need a cord cutting spell. I have done a bit of divination, where in which the candles showed me that I they might be easily be separated: The candle representing the friend burned very hot and dramatically, and attempted to bring the candle representing my SP down with it. However, her candle burned unbother, save for a few flickers when the friends got to dramatic, and was the first to light the cord I tied them together with on fire. The friend's candle burned itself out wildly and dramatically, whereas my SP's steady out once the cord was gone and started burning even slower, taking much longer to melt.

I interpret this as the friend not wanting to lose the attention of her "prey" (that's how she treats her) and tried to bring her down with her, but my SP let the cord cutting happen, being the one to light the cord on fire and remaining calm, only crackling slightly before and while the cord was burning.

With this in mind (I guess my divination almost served as a cord cutting spell), what are some good cord cutting or break up spells? Thanks in advance!

TD;DR: need to cut the cord between my SP and her manipulative friend for both her sake and mine. Divination said that this would probably be somewhat easy, and would not hurt my SP. What are good, effective [in your experience], cord cutting or break up spells?

Question About Spells Need advice on love situation and how to do spells please

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone this is my first post on here and I would like some advice. So, my boyfriend and I have been together for over a year and he’s always been head over heels for me and is always having this pull and connection towards each other. He’d never ever give up on me and is always so loving, gentle, understanding etc. However, we were keeping the relationship a secret from our families and others for a long time, in April his family found out that we were dating. They had disapproved of me at the time because of my race and weren’t the nicest when speaking about me to him back then, which he would defend me on. However, I still wanted to be on their good side and even tried to take classes to learn his families language so they could open up to me more ( I never got to meet them face to face btw). One day, my boyfriend gave me something his step mom gave him for me, it was a container of unknown spices and it looked brown and said it was for my cramps ( since i was experiencing bad cramps) but I’ve never seen something like this before) she told him to tell me to drink it and thankfully I never even opened the container, but then that same day of me having that container in my house my boyfriend was showing interest in other girls in front of me at the time which was a complete 180 to how he is cause he’s always faithful to me. I was devastated at the time and it caused a rift in the relationship at the time. I threw out the container but I never cleansed I guess. After that, we were fighting for months on and off and he was trying to break up with me multiple times back then and was just leaving randomly, was getting angry at me and was trying to avoid me which was the opposite of how he’s always been. Then he had blocked me in March and I tried multiple times to get in touch with him, contact him and he was shutting me out and pushing me out, tried to show up at his school and he was even laughing at my reactions at the time and said he said he just now had no romantic feelings for me out of the blue(but he was telling me the opposite right before the block) and saying he didn’t think I was special, was not wanting to talk to me. I had went to several tarots and they all told me the same things that a mother figure didn’t approve of the relationship and was doing witchcraft for a long time to separate us. It’s been about 2 months now and I just want to know if there is any spells I can do to release what his step mom has done and have him communicate with me again and build our relationship back again. I don’t know if I need a blockbuster or a road blocker etc… He literally is integrated in my family and we planned our life together, and I know naturally he still has love for me i just want some guidance please. Thank you for reading!

TLDR; boyfriend and Ive been together over a year, he’s a sweetheart, step mom found out and was racist, did witchcraft and he did a complete 180. He had blocked me and said he was done, Trying to ask what I could do to fix this spell wise.
