Re: symptoms after casting
Hi Aceso, it is pretty common to experience similar symptoms after spell-casting; it usually just indicates the need for some more grounding and centering exercises. You've built up a lot of energy with a pretty powerful spell, it sounds like, and now you still have the leftover energy buzzing aroun...

Re: saliva and others...
For what it's worth, there are forum rules that prohibit the discussion of bodily fluids. I find saliva, hair, and nail clippings to be fairly innocuous, so I'm going to allow this discussion for the time being so long as: 1) the topic doesn't go into procuring OTHER people's saliva, hair, and nail ...

Re: Putting the soul of a dead person into a necklace/talism
Hmm, honestly that seems a bit disrespectful to the deceased. Most ancestor veneration practices do involve seeking guidance from the dead, but they do that by making offerings and showing respect, rather than binding them to serve you. With any invocation of the gods, spirits, or ancestors, one sho...

Re: Shamanic dance
I've also become very interested in shamanic/ecstatic dance (I've been doing a lot of belly dance & Middle Easter dance recently). Here's a very cool example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMW73DfVWkw This is a theatrical performance of the Zaar ritual in North Africa; it is a women's dance me...

Re: Agnostics
I considered myself agnostic before I became a Pagan. Many people had tried to convert me to Christianity (I grew up in the Bible Belt), but I just couldn't buy the evidence for the Christian God. Even after I found Paganism, I was still agnostic on the existence of the gods (hence my post on non-th...

Re: Why Do you Do Magic?
What a great conversation topic, SpiritTalker! Thanks for getting it started! Two reasons I can think of: 1) Magic connects me to my spiritual self and aligns me with my values and purpose. 2) Magic adds the extra "oomph" to everything I do. It's not a substitute for taking mundane actions...

Re: Can the Concious mind affect the accuracy of your divina
Andi, thanks for sharing. To be honest, it might be best to just take a break from divination for a while (including getting a second opinion). It's just one more thing that can cause anxiety and dread. I remember when I was learning the Tarot and pulling a card a day, if I drew a "negative&quo...

Re: Can the Concious mind affect the accuracy of your divina
Andi, I've read some of your other posts on your issues with pendulum divination, but not had a chance to respond. Frankly, just using a different form of divination won't solve your problems. Runes and tarot can be just as anxiety-producing and difficult to read. If you're having trouble with divin...

Re: Cleansing of money ?
If your tarot deck is warning you against it, I would be very careful ... did you try asking your cards what would happen if you DID cleanse the money?
(out of curiosity, what deck is that? I love the artwork!)

Re: Attempted magick for the first time
Last night I attempted to send out my heart to someone I love. So I used a flame since I am a fire sign and so is my significant other who I was reaching out to. The flame would spin in circles and then go straight up repeatedly. Now naturally I always been a natural with psychic energies, but afte...

Re: Working Magic - Go With Your Gut, or Plan Ahead?
I find that group rituals work best with a lot of planning (but still leaving some room for flexibility and spontaneity). Trying to do a totally spontaneous ritual when other people are involved is a nightmare. Most of what we do as a coven is related to celebrating the Sabbats. My own personal ritu...

Re: get through to someone via their subconcious?
I would be extremely cautious about a connection like that. By "closure", do you mean ending the relationship so you can move on? If so, I would be concerned that the kind of astral work you're talking about to communicate with their deep self would strengthen the toxic bond, not end it.....

Re: Healing Ritual Gone Wrong?
Hi Tyrande, I think it is possible that during the healing ritual, you accidentally transferred your own energy into him, and maybe made a longer-lasting connection than you expected. I'd suggest writing the spell in a way that links him to a different source of strength, and not just you. For insta...
