Are Love Spells Unethical? This Spellcaster Says "No!"
For the last few weeks, I’ve really started becoming more active with sharing my thoughts, opinions, and personal craft to various social media apps like FB and tiktok, primarily. If there’s one thing I’ve noticed, not only across these platforms but also in my 5 years of working in a witch shop, it’s that a surprisingly large number of young witches say that they won’t cast any kind of love spell on a person of interest because it “bends free will and isn’t consensual.” Tw

Beginner-Friendly Cord Cutting Spell for Releasing Emotional Ties
One of the most common misconceptions about cord cutting spells is that it's meant to erase someone from your life completely. It isn't. A cord cutting spell isn't about pretending someone never existed or forcing another person out of your thoughts. Instead, it's a symbolic act of releasing the energetic ties that continue to keep you emotionally entangled. Whether you're healing after a breakup, moving on from a difficult friendship, or letting go of an unhealthy family dyn

How Long Does Spellcasting Take to Work? What to Realistically Expect
One of the first questions people ask me prior to purchasing one of my spellcasting services is, "How long will this spell take to work?" It's a completely understandable question. Whether you're hoping for reconciliation with a loved one, looking for a new job, or trying to remove obstacles from your life, it's natural to want to know when you'll begin seeing results. The honest answer, however, is one that many people don't expect: There is no universal timeline for spellwo

How To Tell If a Spellcaster Is Legitimate: A Guide to Avoiding Spellcasting Scams
If you've spent any amount of time searching for a professional spellcaster online, you've probably experienced a mix of hope and hesitation. One website promises guaranteed results in 24 hours. Another claims they can reunite any couple, no matter the circumstances. Scroll a little farther, and someone else insists they've discovered that you're cursed before you've even exchanged a single message. It's overwhelming, and unfortunately, it's one of the reasons many people bec

Witchcraft begins with observation, intention, and practice. Like learning to play an instrument or speak another language, w

The 5 Best Witchcraft Books For Beginners (Recommended By A Professional Witch)
An old book lies open on a cobblestone street, its weathered pages hinting at the mysteries of witchcraft. If you've recently started exploring witchcraft, you've probably already discovered one frustrating truth: there are thousands of books out there. Some are incredible.

What Is Witchcraft? A Beginner’s Guide to Understanding the Craft
Witchcraft is a word that carries centuries of history, countless interpretations, and many misconceptions.

Can Anyone Become A Witch?
Every so often, I see a newbie witch ask on a Facebook forum, "Can anyone become a witch?" and today I felt compelled to answer the question. The short answer is yes—but the longer answer deserves a bit more explanation. There are a lot of misconceptions about what it means to be a witch. Movies, television, social media, and even well-meaning practitioners sometimes make witchcraft seem like an exclusive club that only certain people are born into. While some families do pas

What Should You Expect After a Spell Is Cast for You?
One of the most burning questions people are dying to know after hiring a professional witch or having a spell performed on their behalf is: "What happens next?" Many people come into spellwork with the expectation that something dramatic will happen immediately.

A Cunningwoman's Guide to Lammastide: Lughnasadh (Lammas) Correspondences & Celebration Ideas
As the long days of summer begin their slow descent toward autumn, the fields ripen with grain, orchards begin to swell with fruit, and the scent of earth carries the promise of harvest. This turning point of the year is known throughout many modern witchcraft traditions as Lughnasadh (pronounced LOO-na-sa or LOO-nuh-sah), while much of England and other parts of the British Isles historically celebrated Lammas, also called Lammastide. Although these celebrations developed fr

Return To Sender Spells: What They Are And What They Are Not
One of the biggest misconceptions I see in modern witchcraft is the idea that every difficult situation calls for a return to sender spell. Someone gossips about you. Return to sender. A coworker is rude. Return to sender. Your neighbor gives you a funny look. Return to sender. I've even seen people recommend them before taking five minutes to ask whether anything spiritual is happening at all. Personally, I think that's a mistake.

Why Hiring a Witchcraft Mentor Might Be the Best Investment You Make in Your Magical Practice
One of the most common critiques I hear in the witchcraft community is, "Why would I pay for a witchcraft mentor when I can learn everything online for free?" And I don't blame them as it's a fair question. After all, we're living in a time where there are thousands of books, YouTube channels, TikTok creators, podcasts, and blogs dedicated to witchcraft. Information has never been more accessible than it is today. And that's exactly the problem. The challenge isn't finding in

Love Spell Ritual for Beginners If you've spent any amount of time around witchcraft communities, you've probably noticed that love spells are one of the most talked about—and most controversial—subjects in modern magic.

As with so many things in witchcraft, there is no universal rulebook that every practitioner follows. Personally, I don't be

Fat People Don't Make Good Witches???
Discipline, Liberation, and the Fat Witch Recently, I came across a discussion claiming that fat people cannot be effective witches because they supposedly lack discipline. The argument suggested that if someone cannot control their body, they cannot control their mind, their will, or their magic. As a fat witch, I find myself reflecting on a much larger question: What do we mean when we talk about discipline? For many people, discipline is synonymous with restriction. It is

How to Cleanse Your Altar Before Spellwork: A Simple Florida Water Ritual for Spiritual
One of the most frequently asked questions I got from beginner witches when I used to work at my local occult supply shop was on how to cleanse their altar and altar space before and after casting a spell.

Cord Cutting Spells: What They’re Really For
If you’ve spent any time in spiritual spaces online lately, you’ve probably seen people talking about cord cutting spells. Videos of candles burning through strings, dramatic emotional releases, and promises of “cutting someone off forever” have made cord cuttings one of the most requested forms of spellwork today. But as a professional spellcaster, I can tell you this plainly: most people misunderstand what a cord cutting spell is actually meant to do. A true cord cutting is

Essential Tips for Preparing for Your First Tarot Reading
Getting your tarot read by a professional reader can be an exciting experience, but it can also feel a little intimidating if you don't know what you're in for. As a professional tarot reader myself, I've worked with tons of first-timers who have expressed these reservations to me before we began, and I tell them all the same thing to lighten the anxiety: tarot is a tool for insight and reflection, not fortune-telling as we see in Hollywood.
