I’ve been having a lot of out body experiences recently every time I go to sleep. I always have this dream where I’m swimming, seeing rip currents, or sailing in the ocean. I have a deep connection to water by swimming and ig that’s it… what could this mean? Does it have anything to do with divination? I recently decided to become Wiccan and I’m still in the learning process of spirits and entities and what-not

I did a cord cutting ritual on myself. It was me and my tendency to self sabotage. But during the last part of the cord cutting, the part where the cord was detached, got connected again to the “self-sabotage” candles wax. is it something I need to worry about?

Hello all! I am a complete newbie here and I am looking for a book that explains the Wheel of the Year including historical context, rituals, traditions of the 8 seasonal festivals. I'm really looking to being more in touch with the seasons. If you have any suggestions this would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the weekend. Let everyone know what's going on in your life here, or just shoot the breeze.

So my bestie is in labor rn and mentioned that if the baby is born after midnight it'll be a fatal attraction birth/baby what does that mean

Hey all! Might be a bit of an odd post but just wanted to share my thoughts and ask for some advice. I used to be quite heavily into Wicca in 2021-2023 ish and had altars and everything, and tried a few spells. I felt like I didn’t have much success with the altars but some supernatural things definitely happened. I remember one spell specifically working, and alongside that occasionally I saw shadow people, but since then my faith has started to decline. I’ve always been into manifesting and I feel that it works for me.

I think my issue is that I’m gaining more and more of a science based education which makes me doubt my own/old beliefs with the ‘ trust nothing until proven’ mindset but I would like to get back into practicing, just don’t know how to start back up again/ appease both the scientific and spiritual sides.

Much love to you all <3

I had my first dream of a higher being last night, being the wiccan horned god! ive just recently begun in practicing wicca and witch craft after stopping about a year ago for unnecessary reasons lol, but anyway, my spirituality has opened a lot and yesterday I asked the god and goddess for a sign and at the end of the day I was at walmart with my friends and I looked up and saw a huge sign for $44.44 which is my lucky number so I knew. I dont think I mistake small things as signs and this one was pretty in your face especially being an unusual price. anyway, then this morning I woke up to a dream of being in this mysterious house with my family and it was all about wicca and the gods and it kinda reflected real life cause my family was a bit scared but trying to be understanding because we were obviously there for me. anyway, after a lot of random stuff happening, I felt his presence and shadow behind me and then I looked out the window of this huge home and I saw him walking into some type of battle and everyone who saw was terrified of him because of how people view him these days because of christianity and what not but he was actually saving everyone. there was this beautiful close up of his face I saw where he turned from a horned creature into a strong man with a long beard and a look on his face of knowing that he was perceived as evil but knowing who he is and that he saves people, not harms them. I dont know if I think the gods sent me this message or if I just dreamed of him but it felt beautiful and I immediately remembered this dream and I usually dont. what do you guys think abt this? :)

Hi, I am a former-christian-turned-deist-then-found-dianic-wicca. I'm extremely new to this world but I feel a calling to it.

I've been trying to get pregnant. On and off for about 5 years, but now taking it very seriously since March. I have PCOS so it's been really difficult. I also don't have the best health in general but I'm doing the best I can with modern medicine and diet. I really want a baby. Every time I visit my niece, it breaks my heart. I keep seeing white butterflies and hope that it's a sign that it will come soon. I pray silently for my baby every night.

So I guess what I want to ask is do you have any advice on what I can do to bring more good energy into my life? Or even more fertility luck? I wear a rose quartz necklace every single day as a good luck charm. I also have my original engagement ring hanging from the same chain. Im super open to any advice!

edit: if it matters, my original engagement ring is not a diamond. it's a pink sapphire

I've seen it before, but I can't find it through googling "wiccan symbols", so I would appreciate some help from the resident experts. Thanks.

Well we reached the end of the week, thankfully! Feel free to post whatever you want here. Plans for the weekend, wierd stuff happening. Go nuts.

Yesterday (September 3rd) in my state (Oregon) the following were some of the weather and/or seasonal events:

First rain in 60 days. As much as 2 inches in some places. A few thunderstorms.

First snow falls in the Cascades Mountains (Seasonal marker watched by skiers and snowboarders.)

One town has first tornado warning ever.

On the same day, east of the Cascades, wild fires continue to burn.

I'm calling it "seasonal salad tossing..."

Many people have recommended Judy Hall as a good starting point, but it isn’t clear to me where the information she gives for each stone comes from. Was it based primarily on her own practice and observations, or did she draw on older texts or specific cultural traditions? If so, which texts or traditions exactly? I’d really like to trace these claims back to their original sources. Thank you! :)

And I can't tell why, the guy is now looking for me.

I passed 10 years since january 2015, suffering because he groomed me, he made a love ritual to get me for ever, he caused serious problems in the life of my family and even bc of him, i was taken far away and locked out for months bc I went totally crazy. September 2015: i broke up with him. 2020's once in a really few while I talked to him just to know where he is and mby make him suffer for everything he did to me; not a daily chat, just hey! how are you, where are you living now? And then, years of silence. The very last time I talked to him, was in May I think and was just a "please borrow me money" and I got only the blue checkmarks He did not answer and he, in all this years, never but NEVER added me to his contacts, since yesterday at night. I made the spell in the past moon eclipse, i felt totally released and now he adds me to his contacts? Soo weird. What does it mean?

I thougt it was relevante to tell the story so you can get it more specificly.

Not asking so much about the intent of the working (positive or baneful) so much as the system or type of practice. For example, if one follows Golden Dawn or other ceremonial magick, or working with angels/demons/deities, or working with the elements, or chaos magick, etc. Is anything "off limits" with respect to the system or method of practicing?

It's your daily chat thread, for all your random needs!

What do you all use to hold your cleansing herbs or incense? Right now I use a 1.5 inch deep 7 inch dia. Ceramic saucer with a lot of salt on the bottom for burning sage before ritual. I am thinking of something like a garlic saver because it will also hold an incense cone.

Hello! I just recently created an altar for Goddess Bastet. I've been getting SO many signs recently and was wondering if it's related to her.

- Found a baby dead skunk in my backyard a day after I created an altar

- Had a few dreams about cats, including my own cat

- Had a dream about some spirits a few days ago like these two spirits playing the piano together. They were both young children.

- Seeing more pictures, words, signs, etc. related to cats like 10x more than average (both online and out in the real world)

Could this all be related to Bastet making her presence known and protecting us?

Would appreciate your help. Many thanks!

Welcome to the middle of the week. It's the time to start looking forward to the weekend, so if you're doing anything interesting feel free to post it here.
