@VioletCharlotte

I pulled the 10 of Cups, but it came out reversed, so perhaps the idea that you are still seeking your Happy Ever After

Would people mind if I posted an AIBU here?

It's a standard AIBU but with a witchy slant, and I figure in regular AIBU it would be open to utter mockery which I'm not keen on

GeeIneverthoughtofthat · 30/10/2018 21:18

We’re listening @Pawnee

GruciusMalfoy · 30/10/2018 21:54

Absolutely listening, Pawnee.

I've spent the evening with my moonstone close to me, now feeling extremely relaxed. I'm still not certain what I'm doing tomorrow, but sure it will (in some way) include visiting my loved ones who have passed..

Found my quartz.
I need to cleanse it tomorrow, it worked so well last night.

AIBU then to think this was me?

On a previous thread, I alluded to having a problematic coworker I felt the need to shield myself from but it's actually a longer, more complicated tale than I explained.

Two women Linda and Kate, let's say, started with my company in the winter of last year.

Instinctively I disliked Linda, I got a vibe on day one, who I found cold, and domineering, essentially we are opposites as people and have nothing in common

Kate struck me as a bit intense, a bit in your face, a bit too eager to be your best friend, but seemed like a nice person all the same.

After starting here, they teamed up as a duo, and would often complete solo tasks together slowing everything down. I got a very strong vibe that neither liked me very much but attributed this to Linda who I knew disliked me influencing Kate who I had felt did. I definitely felt that Linda thought I had "ideas above my station" and was "stuck up"

Then something happened professionally to Kate, she was heavily criticised for something. I didn't know it had happened and wasn't involved. She became convinced that I was "behind it" and I endured a campaign of hostility from her for months until the truth came out.

Linda was never openly hostile BUT had form for slaying me behind my back. I also realised she was sabotaging my appointments and leave by recording them in the wrong dates and times.

Around this time I joined this thread and asked for protection help, I did a spell about sending any influences that "enemies" had sent my way back to them.

Linda, Kate and a third colleague Jane went on a trip together in the time I mentioned that she was off. Linda and Jane were injured in accident, Jane less seriously. Linda may not be coming back to work.

Kate is now quite servile towards me, which is somehow worse and I can't help but think that perhaps Linda was the true enemy after all, and I feel a bit spooked by it all.

I know it's stupid but AIBU to think ..... that I influenced here?

Was it a Revenge/Karmic return spell?

I think ultimately we never actually know whether our influence caused something to happen.
Often there are signs when a spell manifests which usually leaves me in now doubt

Do you think you caused this?
Are you upset about the outcome?

OP posts:
PawneeParksDept · 30/10/2018 22:14

Not really a revenge spell more take your energy and have it back spell.

Do I think I caused it?

I think it sounds almost silly to say yes, but the level of coincidence has stopped me in my tracks.

I'm upset to have perhaps harmed anyone I would never intend that, but the shift in the air now that she's gone is palpable and if she didn't come back, I would not be sorry.

Yes, so it's like a mirror/ bad energy return spell.

Whether you "caused" it or not- it was her energy that caused the damage.

Doesn't sound silly at all.

I have had spell manifestation over the years which have stopped me in my tracks. It's powerful when that happens.

PawneeParksDept · 30/10/2018 22:31

It is alarming isn't it?

But it has given me more confidence in my ability to create positive change in other areas.

Loyaultemelie · 30/10/2018 23:19

Although you influenced it Pawnee it was most definitely their own energy that caused it. Meanwhile enjoy the atmosphere change Thanks

GruciusMalfoy · 31/10/2018 07:32

I can understand your feelings of worry about this Pawnee. But I agree with the others, you simply wanted to deflect their negative energy back on them. You didn't attempt to cause harm, and you didn't target an innocent person.

I think that what we give out in life we will eventually receive in return.

GruciusMalfoy · 31/10/2018 07:36

Samhain blessings to you all!

Loyaultemelie · 31/10/2018 08:16

Also to yourself Grucius

Samhain blessings Sisters!

My friend wanted to look in the charity shop yesterday and as we were leaving this caught my eye... it's glass, beautiful colours (photos don't really do it justice!) and suspiciously wand like! I'm not usually interested in things like this but I was very drawn to this.
We googled the maker on the box and it's an Italian glasswear company but nothing like this is on its website. Anyone got any idea what it is and could I actually use it as a wand?

TooManyPaws · 31/10/2018 08:47

Of course you can use it as a wand. There aren't any rules about so you can use anything you want as a wand (though a baby hippo would be difficult to fit on the altar 😁).

I would cleanse it with salt water, moonlight and sunlight before using it.

StewPots · 31/10/2018 08:52

Thanks @TooManyPaws yes a hippo would be a step too far 😂

I shall do that today. It really is a beautiful thing and it's so strange how I was really into it in the shop! Plus it was £1.95 so a bargain as well! When we looked on the maker's website, a glass tumbler cost like £20 so I feel I've got a steal here!

Whatsallthisaboutthen · 31/10/2018 09:01

I think it’s a glass pen (I’ve seen others similar), though it would make a beautiful wand and I’d totally use it as one.

StewPots · 31/10/2018 09:19

@Whatsallthisaboutthen ooh really? Yes it's a stunning piece. I will use it as a Wand definitely!

MawkishTwaddle · 31/10/2018 09:22

Its lovely. Could it be a letter opener?

MawkishTwaddle · 31/10/2018 09:25

Samhain Blessings, all.

BlankTimes · 31/10/2018 09:36

Samhain Blessings everyone!

StewPots you can use anything you like a wand, your finger will do, right through to a very expensive handcrafted item.

You're drawn to that, it's very attractive, you like it, cleanse it and go for it. Halloween Smile
The only caution I'd have is to not use it anywhere with a hard surface where you may drop it if you're as clumsy as me. Indoors it should be fine if it lands on a carpet, outdoors on grass or a woodland floor.

I'd guess its original use was to hang in a window to reflect the light or on a xmas tree, I don't think the string bow is original, more likely to have been a pretty ribbon with a clear nylon line to hang it maybe?

StewPots · 31/10/2018 10:25

@MawkishTwaddle we thought that at first but then it's so delicate I think you'd only have to be a bit heavy handed with it to break it? It's really lovely though.

StewPots · 31/10/2018 10:26

@BlankTimes yes I think that's maybe it's original purpose. A pretty decorative piece to put in the window or tree?
