I'll see about taking a picture of it as soon as I see her. My mother generally stayed away from anything "haunted". She's not very adventurous. My mother and I grew up in the city (Philadelphia). After my nan died, we moved a bit north, in the country, where we reside now. The only thing I can thin...

Actually the cat that I have seems a little off but I chalked it up to sentimental feelings.
My mother has definitely been depressing more and more since she found that ring.

More recently she's inherited a lot of jewelry. My grandmother, (my mothers mom) has the most progressed form of Alzheimer's. She is no longer here in mind. She is also slowly dying of breast cancer that has come back. She is my Nan's daughter. I've inherited a lot of things too. Namely a cat bank I...

I had a feeling that might be it. I plan on doing a lot of working with both my parents as we all have a rocky relationship. I found another crow this morning, this time in my attic. My whole attic is reserved for my sacred space, magical workings ect. The bird was trying its best to come in through...

Thank you for the reply.
I'm not sure what else we can really do? We're very pro active about cleansing, grounding and protection. I'll try to look into other things.

Unfortunately, I won't have much updates till tomorrow, or the following day. I've been working double shifts and I've been absolutely exhausted. There is probably some backround info I can give you. Some could be coincidence but I'll let you decide. (EDIT: I'm adding to this.) My mother was married...

I specifically remember a time in my life when I discussed my spirituality with my father. I was 12, and we were waiting for Chinese takeout. I don't know how we got on the subject, but I told my father I wasn't really sure whether there was a god or not. My dad grew up catholic, and while he never ...

The bottom portion actually reminds me of Kanji. I'm almost positive that is Kanji for something in japanese.

Thank you so so much! You've been so helpful. Witches bottles will be interesting to try. We have plans with those as well. We began to make one not too long ago. Our pendulum was dragging us further and further out in the woods where we were collecting naturally growing herbs, bits and bobs. We cam...

We probably wouldn't do anything with a spirit board. I may be comfortable doing it, but I know my sister won't be. We've had some pretty good luck with pendulums and tarot though. We both have a feeling Samhain is going to be trouble. We're in the midst of prepping for it. It kinda feels like a sto...

Would seem more likely, since all the witches in my family are no longer here on earth. Me and my coven sister seem to have to work really hard to drive away negativity before we cast the circle for any of our workings. Usually we end up draining ourselves a lot, and not really being able to functio...

Thank you so much for you reply. My coven sister chats up local metaphysical stores some times, asking about certain materials for spell work. Must have sparked interest in someone and this woman said she worked a lot with dispelling evil eyes. She said they were hereditary. As for who gave my famil...

See that's the thing, I know so little on it, and to be honest, I'm not even sure if there even IS a curse.
Waiting to see on other's advice as well before I move forward with anything. Thank you for your input!

(Please feel free to move this if it is not in the right spot.) So, I've been doing a little sleuthing into my witchy ancestry. I was talking to my coven sister one night, and from the issues I was describing, she said "sounds like some kind of curse" So naturally, I decide to look into curses place...

The past week, since the blood moon, I have not been able to get a solid 8 hours, no mater how hard I try. It never fails that I wake around 3am. The cats run around, and begin fighting and hissing. The dogs bark and cry. When 4 rolls around, everyone is back to sleeping like nothing happened. I'm c...
