Or Wiccans. or Pagans? Or anyone who is interested in a magical path or feels some magical stirrings.

A place for support, learning, swapping ideas and magical inspiration

All welcome.

(It's got to the point now that when I feel an uncomfortable feeling I think "oh goodie! I wonder what that's hiding" and start welcoming it in to feel it fully.)

Just catching up with you all.

speakout how amazing that your intuition was so strong and you knew something was up.

Welcome back, whatsitall.

In terms of shadow work, I agree that sometimes it’s best not to go digging. You have to be in a strong place for some things. I found Waking the Tiger by Peter Levine a good book regarding trauma and its effects on the body. It gave me a few lightbulb moments.

Had some quiet time to myself yesterday so did a simple ritual, wrote some poetry and did a reading with some cards. At this time of year, I like to look at ancestral patterns and how they influence me now.

Morning everyone, just catching up as have been busy with DD’s school stuff, have a few pages to read. I know I keep saying it but I am so enjoying this thread and all the wise advice and information!

Morning witchy friends.

Beautiful autumn morning here birds are in chorus, I can hear them from my bedroom.
My son and daughter didn't get back until close to 4am this morning, both out with friends, both now sleeping like puppies.

So that means a quiet morning!!

I hope you all have a magical day!

Hello everyone, and I wish you all a lovely Sunday. I am really enjoying the discussion about shadow and light, and have ordered the book Your Dark Side.
Speakout, can I ask if you got my PM? X

VioletCharlotte · 14/10/2018 08:46

Morning. It's feeling very autumnal here today, wet and windy. I had a great night with some new friends, practising tarot and talking about all kinds of things. My head was buzzing though and didn't drop off until after 1, which is totally unlike me. I'm going to have a day at home and do lots of batch cooking.

Speakout my teen DC were out late as well so will be fast asleep for sometime! I love seeing them out having a good time with their friends and enjoying being young.

petitepeach · 14/10/2018 08:48

Thank you BlankTimes I have just ordered the Astro moon diary and calendar 😁

Giggorata · 14/10/2018 10:19

Morning all,
Lots of rain, but still so warm. All my summer pots are still in flower, I’ve still got roses in full bloom and a second crop of runner beans is growing!
Last night, we were outside, dancing skyclad with the trees in that incredible warm wind.....

Speakout, so glad that you are safe. Just shows that we should trust our hunches and never dismiss them in favour of so called rationality.

Giggorata

Yes you are right. I was discussing this with my OH this morning- he said he has been having a recurring dream for the past few weeks about gas being left on.

I'm putting together a blessing for someone who is getting married soon. Wanting to incorporate some spell work for love and fertility. Has anyone got anything they wouldn't mind sharing?

BoldComicSans · 14/10/2018 12:47

I need some advice, but cannot go into serious detail on here.

Is anyone experienced in Paganism and would be willing to inbox me?

I am at a cross roads and if I don't figure out how to be "me" I worry that it will be lost forever.

Hey ladies,

Could do with some advice

Remember when first I came on the thread to ask about protection?

It was regarding someone I work with.

Earlier in the year she became extremely hostile towards me in a manner I couldn't account for, rude, abrupt, dirty looks, passive aggression.

I didn't know what I had done.

It turns out I hadn't done anything and she was blaming me for something I had no part in. This came out in the end after I was driven to complain. She has never apologised to me.

She works a 3 day week but I only have to work closely alongside her on one day of the week.

I swear though that when she is in the building the whole energy shifts, and mentally and physically it's a toll.

She has been off for a fortnight and it has been bliss. I don't know if she is back tomorrow or later in the week but I just dread her.

She talks a big talk about how "spiritual" she is but it's a bit empty vessels make the most noise

I think she is faux spiritual because frankly nobody who was spiritual would've done what she has done and for the reason she did it. The truth of the matter when it all came out led me to suspect her of being either a deeply unpleasant character or having unaddressed mental health concerns, I lean more towards the former.

Anyway she is back this week so it all begins again. Any light that could be sent my way is greatly appreciated

So pleased to hear that you found the unlit gas and were able to turn it off @speakout.

I once bumped a tap on the gas cooker slightly on and then went away for a fortnight! Fortunately the neighbours smelt gas during my absence and the other neighbour had a key so they were able to turn it off.

Really enjoying catching up on the various discussions on the thread. 😊

BlankTimes · 14/10/2018 16:14

Greypaw rose petals, seeds to sprout? Correspondences that suit the intent?

Bold welcome, please don't fear, just ground, centre, find stillness and look within, all the answers are there. You are already you Smile

BoldComicSans · 14/10/2018 16:27

I really don't know how to explain where I am currently at.

I used to be part of a coven. Would learn all I could about the craft and practised regularly. Then we all realised the person running it was a fraud. It made us all question what was true and what wasn't.

Then my ex reported me to social services for witchcraft. I'm a big self doubter anyway so stopped practising and got rid of anything related to the craft.

I feel like I have lost my way and lost myself. I have no clue how to find myself again and just be me. The me I should be.

BlankTimes · 14/10/2018 16:31

Pawn does your 'reflective armour' technique work when she's around? Physically reinforced with a sparkly top or scarf maybe?

Can you get into work first on the day she's due in and cleanse the space with a very few sprays of fine salt water mist? I think smudging may set off smoke alarms Halloween Wink

Spray a fine mist circle around your desk or the areas you'll be in, with intent that her negativity can't enter.

I find tingshaws are lovely to cleanse a space, if she's "spiritual" she can hardly object - although I don't know what your co-workers will think. I never know if people know what I'm talking about, tingshaws are these

PawneeParksDept · 14/10/2018 16:46

I smudged my workspace after she stole something from me but I only used a tiny amount of Clary Sage because fire alarm

I am interested in that link, it doesn't work but I got on the site itself I just don't know what to search.

Salt water spray is probably doable

I definitely need to work on personal protection rituals on days she will be in.

SecretWitch · 14/10/2018 16:51

Hello lovely witches!
Am jel of Giggorata for dancing free last night! I so love the feeling of warm night air across my skin. It feels very cleansing to me.

PawneeParks, if you don’t mind, I will pray for your protection. I generally envision a golden light wrapping around and warding off any negativity.

speakout my children had a long lie in today after a busy night out. My daughter is going to a haunted forest with friends later, so I envision another late night for her.

Welcome BoldComic*, you have found a place of warmth and knowledge here.

I’m meant to spend the day in bed today, tomorrow up and walking with my physical therapist!

Enjoy this evening. We definitely have an autumnal chill here. ✨✨

BlankTimes · 14/10/2018 16:51

Pawn Just type tingshaws or tingshas into google and hit Images. They are available in loads of shops, ebay etc.

The sound is lovely.

We used to be able to just link to a photo, but nowadays they only want to let you link to a whole website which is a pain. Haven't got time to photograph mine and post them on here, sorry, busy from now-ish til 10pm.

PawneeParksDept · 14/10/2018 16:53

@SecretWitch that would be absolutely lovely of you, thank you so much

PawneeParksDept · 14/10/2018 16:54

@BlankTimes will do, I think I can totally get away with having some and I have a certain "respect" as the "alternative one" I don't think anyone would query it

Thanks!
