✨🌕 Blood Moon Eclipse Tomorrow 🌕✨

Tomorrow night the sky will turn red with a total lunar eclipse, the Blood Moon. When the Earth slips between Sun and Moon, the light we are used to will be swallowed and returned in shades of copper and shadow. This is more than astronomy. It is a spiritual threshold, a moment when the veil between what we know and what we fear grows thin.

A Blood Moon is a call to confront shadow, endings, and deep transformation. It strips away illusions and forces truth to the surface. Spiritually, it is a time when old patterns break apart, karmic ties loosen, and hidden emotions surface.

It is the Moon in its rawest state, asking us to face ourselves without masks or excuses. This is not a night for manifesting. It is a night for release, for cleansing, for letting the darkness burn away what no longer serves.

🌌 What You May Feel

Intense dreams or restlessness leading up to the eclipse

A sense of pressure or heaviness in the body

Old memories resurfacing suddenly

Breakthroughs after long silence or confusion

Emotional waves that feel larger than usual

Do not fight it. The eclipse energy is about surrender and release. Many feel unsettled because transformation rarely feels comfortable. That is the point.

📜 Witchy Practices for the Eclipse

Write down what you need to let go of and burn it safely while focusing on release

Charge protective crystals like obsidian, onyx, or hematite

Banish lingering attachments, toxic ties, or habits that hold you back

Sit in silence with the Moon’s shadow and allow its lessons to speak to you

✨ Witch’s Note ✨ Eclipses are teachers. They strip us down to the bones and remind us that cycles of ending are just as sacred as cycles of growth. If you feel unsteady, you are not alone. Let the Blood Moon hold your shadows.

✨ Let’s talk about glamour magic ✨

A lot of people think glamour spells are just about “looking pretty.” Lipstick, perfume, that kind of thing. And while those are part of it glamour is so much bigger. It’s not only how you look, but how you shape the way the world perceives you.

At its core, glamour magic is illusion. It’s putting on a mask when you need to, bending the light so people see what you want them to see. Sometimes it’s subtle so no one notices you and other times it’s bold for commanding attention when you walk into a room.

Beauty work: enchanting makeup, jewelry, perfume, or clothing to enhance confidence and attractiveness.

Influence: shifting how others feel about you, radiating charm, authority, or even mystery.

Self-healing: using glamour to reshape how you see yourself, not just how others do.

Protection: making yourself invisible to harmful eyes, dulling your energy so you pass unnoticed.

But glamour magic isn’t just about vanity. It’s about agency. It’s saying, “I choose how I am seen.” Historically, witches were feared because people thought we could bend perception. They weren’t wrong.

Let’s Talk More About Spiritual Psychosis

My last post on spiritual psychosis sparked a lot of discussion, and I want to go deeper because this is a serious and complicated subject.

First: spiritual psychosis does not come only from “not grounding enough.” That’s a simplification, and it’s not fair to people who have experienced it.

🌑 What Is Spiritual Psychosis?

Spiritual psychosis happens when spiritual practice, stress, trauma, or even certain substances overwhelm the mind to the point where it becomes hard to tell what is symbolic and what is literal, what is spiritual and what is delusion.

It can look like:

Feeling convinced you are chosen, special, or destined for a “higher role.”

Seeing every coincidence as a personal sign or divine command.

Becoming paranoid about curses, energies, or unseen enemies.

Losing touch with reality and relationships because everything is filtered through “the spiritual.”

🌿 Contributing Factors

It’s not about being “bad at grounding.” There are many layers:

Unstable practices: Overuse of channeling, constant divination, or obsession with “messages” without balance can also feed instability.

Substances: Some psychedelics or even too much cannabis can push someone into a psychotic episode.

Mental health conditions: Psychosis can be triggered by bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, trauma, or other psychiatric conditions.

Stress + isolation: Heavy life stress, sleep deprivation, and withdrawing from supportive people can make psychosis more likely.

⚖️ Spiritual Crisis vs. Psychosis

Some people experience what’s called a “spiritual emergency” or awakening crisis. That can involve visions, synchronicities, or ego-death moments. Not everyone in a spiritual crisis is in psychosis, but the line can blur, and it’s important to treat both with care.

🕯️ Why This Conversation Matters

Witchcraft and spiritual spaces should be safe. When people dismiss psychosis as “you just need to ground more,” it creates shame and silences real struggles. Compassion, nuance, and awareness are what keep our community healthy.

If you or someone you love is dealing with this, it’s okay to seek medical help and spiritual support. You can hold both.

[devildarlins-deactivated2026041]

Right, yeah, let's talk more.

Psychosis is described by the Cleveland Clinic as the term for a collection of symptoms that happen when a person has trouble telling the difference between what’s real and what’s not. It involves hallucinations ( when parts of your brain act as they would if your senses picked up on something happening, even though nothing is actually happening, for example, hearing voices that aren't there ) and delusions ( false beliefs that someone holds onto very strongly, even when there is plenty of evidence against it ).

Psychosis is a symptom of many mental health conditions. The DSM-5 includes the following:

Schizophrenia.

Brief psychotic disorder.

Delusional disorder.

Schizoaffective disorder.

Schizophreniform disorder.

Schizotypal (personality) disorder.

Substance/medication-induced psychotic disorder.

Psychotic disorder due to another medical condition.

Psychosis can also happen with certain types of mood disorders, including:

Bipolar disorder.

Major depression and related conditions.

Psychosis can also happen because of:

Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia.

Hormone-related conditions like Addison’s disease and Cushing’s disease, and when your thyroid gland is too active or not active enough.

Infections of your brain or spinal cord (encephalitis or meningitis).

Lupus.

Lyme disease.

Multiple sclerosis.

Postpartum psychosis (a rare, severe mental health emergency related to postpartum depression).

Stroke and other neurological (brain-related) conditions.

Vitamin B1 (thiamine) and vitamin B12 deficiencies.

Cleveland clinic also mentions:

Psychosis, or symptoms that look very much like it, can also happen under other circumstances. The causes will seem more like triggers in some cases because psychosis develops quickly. In others, it may be a slow process.

And then lists the following:

Misuse of alcohol, prescription medications or recreational drugs (the disorder mentioned above is when this lasts for a longer period).

Severe head injuries (concussions and traumatic brain injuries).

Traumatic experiences (past or present).

Unusually high levels of stress or anxiety.

Psychosis is normally treated depending on the underlying cause, of which there are many. Each person is going to be treated differently. Examples are:

Medications.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

Inpatient treatment. For severe cases of psychosis, especially when a person may poses a danger to themselves or others, inpatient treatment in a hospital or specialist facility is sometimes necessary. (Cleveland Clinic)

Support programs or care.

And here are some types of delusions:

Bizarre delusions: These are so extreme that there’s no way they’re true. An example is someone believing an android (a robot that looks human) with the appearance of a loved one has taken that person’s place and is pretending to be them.

Non-bizarre delusions: These are delusions that seem possible, but a person has no evidence to support the belief. An example of a non-bizarre delusion is that someone is following them.

Grandiose: A person with grandiose delusions may believe they’re a celebrity or have special powers.

Nihilistic: These are delusions where a person believes a major catastrophe or disaster is going to happen.

Persecutory: These are delusions where a person believes someone or something is trying to hurt them or is “out to get” them.

Religious delusions would fall under grandiose delusions, and oftentimes do involve believing you are "chosen" in some way.

But we do not call this "spiritual psychosis". We call it what it is: a delusion of fucking grandeur.

And I once again point the masses towards this reblog explaining that it's more like obsessive behaviour than psychosis.

Now that that's out of the way, I want to point out this person's sheer lack of consistency in their posts about "spiritual psychosis" and the evidence for their usage of AI, because I am vehemently anti-AI and I can spot it when I see it. Capisce?

I've already made a crash course on AI detection post, so I'm not going to list all of that here and I'll just get straight to it.

First: spiritual psychosis does not come only from “not grounding enough.” That’s a simplification, and it’s not fair to people who have experienced it. Uh. Yeah. I know. I'm the one who said that. I'm the "people who have experienced it", genius.

It’s not about being “bad at grounding.” Really? Because in your first post, you were the one to say, "Spiritual psychosis often arises when people dive headfirst into magic or spirituality without grounding, protection, or healthy balance. Opening yourself up energetically without structure can flood your psyche with too much input — leaving you raw, overstimulated, and vulnerable." That is a direct copy paste from your previous post. So either you're very inconsistent with what you think "spiritual psychosis" is, or this isn't really you. In your first post, you were talking about obsessive behaviours. What's with the sudden switch-up to talking about delusions of grandeur? Inconsistent much?

Anyway, that isn't enough to think you've generated all this with AI...but your post does have a suspicious amount of groups of threes:

spiritual awakenings, third eye openings, and downloads from the universe

every single event, sound, or movement is a “sign”

physical health, relationships, or responsibilities

chosen, cursed, or targeted

without grounding, protection, or healthy balance.

leaving you raw, overstimulated, and vulnerable.

Eat nourishing food, go outside, touch the earth.

Pull your cards once, accept the message, and move on.

Pay bills, clean your space, nurture relationships.

empowered, connected, and at peace… not paranoid, isolated, or trapped.

That's all from your first post alone.

And strangely corporate tone. Huh. Odd.

But now that I'm looking at your posts, you do seem to use the "it's not [just] x, it's y" formula a little too much to feel natural to read.

This isn’t just “dark night of the soul” or a rough patch in your practice.

but they should expand your life, not make it collapse. A healthy magical practice will help you feel more empowered, connected, and at peace… not paranoid, isolated, or trapped.

It’s not about being “bad at grounding.” There are many layers.

Not everyone in a spiritual crisis is in psychosis, but the line can blur.

Not to mention, every format of your "informational" posts are all AI format.

When people dismiss psychosis as “you just need to ground more,” it creates shame and silences real struggles. You're the only person here dismissing it that way.

People going through spiritual struggles are valid, yes. Does this mean you have to slap the label of "psychosis" onto it? No. Does this make their struggles any less? No. All that's being asked is to stop spreading the misuse of medical terms.

[witchescollection]

i'm just gonna weigh in an alternate perspective here, as someone who has experienced psychosis (both of the spiritual kind, and of the actual mental illness kind).

i do think you're both talking cross-wires in this debate a little, and i think this is speaking to a wider debate about the use and flow of language, especially around sensitive terms (like mental health ones). i think OP means "psychosis" in the more abstract sense, in the way that that word has now shifted meaning a little from the explicit mental health definitions you've cited. it's developing a new meaning (one that encompasses the previous), and that essentially means "out of touch with reality". this can, of course, mean in a way you need to seek mental health support (in the traditional meaning's sense), but also in a more expansive way, meaning feeling untethered to reality. this encompasses folks who experience mental health psychosis, and also those who don't have the kind that needs to be diagnosed, but more so patterns that could potentially lead to seeking a diagnosis if they continue.

this gets a little dicey when it comes to witchcraft, because to define something as a delusion means to define something as untrue, and that's a lot harder to do in esoteric religious circles.

spiritual psychosis (in the newer definition) can mean religious delusions, but can also include paranoia, general mistrust of secular/scientific beliefs, and yes, obsessive behaviour (among other traits).

and, of course, grounding does not prevent people from experiencing psychosis, but it can be an incredibly useful tool in mental health spaces to regulate oneself, and so might help folks experiencing spiritual psychosis (newer definition) just as it may help folks experiencing psychosis in mental health sense.

i don't think this is OP spreading the misuse of medical terms, but more so those terms naturally changing as language develops (especially at the rapidly fast pace of the internet).

and finally, i can't comment on whether OP is using AI (and i'm not particularly anti-ai in the way you are, so i am certainly biased here), but i feel like trying to ascertain whether others are utilising AI in their posts is a slippery slope to including well-written folks. and even then, using AI for a post doesn't mean the post is incorrect or incoherent. i feel like writing about whether the person is using AI does nothing to tackle their actual argument.

[goblinqueenofchaos]

This is actually exactly 1 of the points I was trying to lead into. THANK YOU. As for the use of AI I actually hate it but I have found that it is useful given the fact I tend to dictate everything to my phone or pc. Allowing an AI go in and correct the grammar or punctuation helps. The way I keep notes on topics for videos and posts tends to be very chaotic.

[goblinqueenofchaos]

Hi! Person with religious/spiritual psychosis and schizophrenia here!! Your posts are ableist

That is your opinion which you are entitled to but I would like for you to point out where exactly I was ableist and not giving a different perspective. Point out where I was not inclusive. Many who have taken issue with my posts are failing to acknowledge that multiple things can be true at once. You don't have to like the terminology because I will never make everyone happy and honestly I'm not trying to.

What worries me is how quickly spiritual spaces erase people’s actual needs. Someone has a breakdown and instead of helping them they are told it is an awakening or a trial to make them stronger. Parents refuse treatment for their kids because they would rather believe they are starseeds than admit the child needs help. Someone starts believing that AI is their god and rather than helping the person others chime in saying yes it is a god.

Spiritual communities have long had a pattern of labeling mental health struggles as mystical experiences. That is not new. In the past people who dissented, grieved too openly, or behaved in ways that their communities did not understand were accused of possession, cursed as witches, or, in the case of changeling folklore, said to have been “taken” by the fairies. These stories often ended with violence. Look at the case of Brigid Cleary in Ireland in 1895. Her husband and neighbors burned her alive because they believed she was a changeling rather than a woman who was sick. The same pattern showed up when Brad Steiger started the starseed idea. This is a pattern that happens again and again.

So no, I am not going to drop the term. I am going to keep pointing out where these ideas come from and how they are used to harm vulnerable people. The pushback I get shows me that no matter what terminology we use, someone will find it offensive. The reality is that these belief systems have a dark history of mislabeling, mistreating, and abusing vulnerable people. That is why I keep using the term. Not to insult, but to remind people that what sounds mystical can have very real consequences. If that is uncomfortable to read, maybe it should be.

[goblinqueenofchaos]

Spiritual Psychosis and the Starseed Trap

I am talking about the dangerous overlap where spiritual ideas get tangled with real struggles, and where vulnerable people are often left untreated, unheard, or even exploited. One of the clearest examples of this is the starseed movement (which is 1 of the topics I was trying to get to before people wanted to get pissy).

Where the idea of starseeds came from

The concept of starseeds was started in the 1970s by Brad Steiger and his love of science fiction. In the 1976 book Gods of Aquarius, Steiger proposed that some people were not fully human but instead descended from aliens.

The 1970s (much like today) were marked by social upheaval, distrust of institutions, and fascination with UFOs and the paranormal. Steiger’s work tapped into that climate and its effects are still being felt today. People who felt out of place or who struggled with identity suddenly had a narrative that reframed their pain and alienation as proof they were “chosen.” Instead of being marginalized, they could imagine themselves as saviors of humanity.

The starseed movement from the very beginning had an undercurrent of exclusionary thinking. It can be linked to racial “purity” and superiority, echoing the same white supremacist ideas that run through other New Age movements. What looked like a message of love and light became a tool for manipulation, elitism, and abuse.

How it became harmful

As the New Age movement grew in the 80s and 90s, starseed propaganda became more common. People began identifying as Pleiadian, Arcturian, Sirian, or other cosmic origins. At first, this looked harmless and made people feel welcome. But soon it created rigid in-groups and out-groups. Some of those who called themselves starseeds were considered more “evolved” than others. This elitism mirrored cult structures and created environments ripe for abuse.

Vulnerable people experiencing psychosis, OCD, schizophrenia, or spiritual overwhelm were told their symptoms were evidence of being starseeds. Instead of getting support or treatment, they were pressured to view themselves through a distorted spiritual lens that kept them dependent on communities and leaders who profited from their suffering.

The harm to children

The ideology didn't stop at affecting adults because when does it ever. Parents who label their children as “starseeds,” “indigo children,” or “crystal children” often do so to avoid facing real diagnoses. A child with autism, ADHD, OCD, or schizophrenia might be reframed as “a special soul from another world.” While this sounds loving, it can lead to neglect. Children may be denied therapies, medication, or accommodations that would help them thrive. Instead, their struggles are romanticized or dismissed as “ascension symptoms.”

Some children are pushed into spiritual roles to validate their parents’ beliefs. They are told they have missions to save humanity or to act as healers before they even understand themselves. This is a heavy burden and quickly becomes abusive. If you go into any spiritual space you will find talk of starseeds and parents/caregivers looking for ways to push their starseed child. If these adults receive any pushback or there is an attempt to educate them they respond with hostility.

Language Matters

This is why I use the term spiritual psychosis. Not to insult, not to dismiss, but to draw attention to how spirituality can be weaponized against vulnerable people. These movements promise empowerment but often deliver exploitation.

No terminology will ever make everyone happy. But avoiding these conversations only allows harm to continue. The history of starseeds is just 1 example of how easily spiritual language can slide into elitism, racism, abuse, and child neglect. Talking about it openly may feel uncomfortable, but it is necessary if we want healthier, safer spaces. Pretending these things don't happen or don't exist is enabling this toxic behavior and allows it to continue unmitigated.

[goblinqueenofchaos]

Why People Struggle With the Term “Spiritual Psychosis”

Since my last post, a few people asked why the term itself rubs some the wrong way. I think it’s important to acknowledge that.

🌑 Why the Term Feels Harmful to Some

Stigma around mental health: The word psychosis carries heavy associations with being “crazy” or “broken.” Many people have had that word used against them in cruel, dismissive, or even abusive ways.

Over-spiritualization: Some feel that combining “spiritual” and “psychosis” risks trivializing very real psychiatric struggles by suggesting it’s just “a spiritual thing.”

Fear of labeling: In spiritual spaces, people often fear their genuine mystical or intuitive experiences will be written off as “psychosis” instead of being respected.

All of those are valid concerns. Language has weight, and not everyone will be comfortable with the term.

Why I Still Use It

I personally have no issue using the term “spiritual psychosis” because of my own background. I live with mental health diagnoses and disabilities myself, and I am raising children who live with OCD and schizophrenia. For me, this isn’t abstract. It’s lived reality. I use the word psychosis without shame, because naming things directly takes power away from stigma and educates those who would perpetuate the stigma.

I also want to say this clearly: no terminology will ever please everyone. Some people dislike “spiritual awakening,” others hate “dark night of the soul,” others are triggered by “psychosis” or “shadow work.” There will always be discomfort with certain words, depending on someone’s history, culture, or experience.

It is NEVER my intent to offend anyone simply to give a perspective that may have otherwise not been thought of. You don't have to agree and that is fine but understand I will not be an echo chamber for you simply to save your feelings.

⚖️ Why I Talk About This

I don’t bring this up to scare people. I bring it up because too many in spiritual communities are left in the dark. If we ignore these topics because the words feel uncomfortable, we risk leaving people without support when they need it most.

The more openly we speak about spiritual psychosis (and all its complexities), the safer and healthier our witchcraft spaces will be.

My last post on spiritual psychosis sparked a lot of discussion, and I want to go deeper because this is a serious and complicated subject.

First: spiritual psychosis does not come only from “not grounding enough.” That’s a simplification, and it’s not fair to people who have experienced it.

🌑 What Is Spiritual Psychosis?

Spiritual psychosis happens when spiritual practice, stress, trauma, or even certain substances overwhelm the mind to the point where it becomes hard to tell what is symbolic and what is literal, what is spiritual and what is delusion.

It can look like:

Feeling convinced you are chosen, special, or destined for a “higher role.”

Seeing every coincidence as a personal sign or divine command.

Becoming paranoid about curses, energies, or unseen enemies.

Losing touch with reality and relationships because everything is filtered through “the spiritual.”

Unstable practices: Overuse of channeling, constant divination, or obsession with “messages” without balance can also feed instability.

Substances: Some psychedelics or even too much cannabis can push someone into a psychotic episode.

Mental health conditions: Psychosis can be triggered by bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, trauma, or other psychiatric conditions.

Stress + isolation: Heavy life stress, sleep deprivation, and withdrawing from supportive people can make psychosis more likely.

⚖️ Spiritual Crisis vs. Psychosis

Some people experience what’s called a “spiritual emergency” or awakening crisis. That can involve visions, synchronicities, or ego-death moments. Not everyone in a spiritual crisis is in psychosis, but the line can blur, and it’s important to treat both with care.

🕯️ Why This Conversation Matters

Witchcraft and spiritual spaces should be safe. When people dismiss psychosis as “you just need to ground more,” it creates shame and silences real struggles. Compassion, nuance, and awareness are what keep our community healthy.

If you or someone you love is dealing with this, it’s okay to seek medical help and spiritual support. You can hold both.

[goblinqueenofchaos]

Be Careful in Witchy Spaces Online 🕯️

Social media is full of witches, tarot readers, and magical advice. That can be amazing for building community, but it can also be dangerous if you are not careful.

🚩 Red Flags to Watch Out For

Fear tactics: Posts that make you feel cursed, doomed, or like you need to buy their service to “fix” your energy.

Gatekeeping: Anyone saying you are “not a real witch” unless you practice their exact way.

Pay-to-play spirituality: If someone’s entire pitch is that you can only be powerful if you buy their course, candle, or spell.

Over-promising: “This spell will make someone love you instantly” or “This ritual guarantees wealth.” Witchcraft does not work like that.

⚠️ Subtle Ableism in Witchy Spaces

Some posts look harmless but carry ableist ideas:

Saying you “can’t be a witch if you take medication” or that being neurodivergent makes you “less spiritual.”

Calling people “low vibration” if they are depressed, anxious, or struggling with trauma.

Shaming witches who cannot afford elaborate tools or rare herbs.

Real witchcraft is accessible. You do not need perfect health, constant positivity, or a big budget to practice.

🕳️ Hidden Dog Whistles

Be wary of creators who:

Talk about “purity of bloodlines” or “chosen people.” That is coded language that often ties back to racist or nationalist beliefs.

Push conspiracy theories under the disguise of “esoteric wisdom.”

Use terms like “starseed” or “indigo child” in ways that exclude others or feed into superiority complexes.

🕸️ How Online Witchcraft Spaces Can Slide Into Cult Territory

Witchy communities can turn harmful when:

One leader demands absolute loyalty and punishes questioning.

Information is tightly controlled or only given if you pay more.

Members are isolated from outside opinions or told everyone else is “asleep” or “less evolved.”

The group encourages secrecy, shame, or dependency on the leader.

When witchcraft stops empowering you and starts controlling you, it is no longer community. It is manipulation.

✨ Witchcraft should free you, not trap you.

Why I Don’t Use the Term “Baby Witch” 🌙🕯️

One of the most common phrases you’ll see online is “baby witch.” It’s used to describe beginners, but let’s be real the term is infantilizing and does more harm than good.

❌ Why “Baby Witch” is a Problem

It makes serious practitioners feel like they aren’t taken seriously.

It reinforces gatekeeping by keeping beginners “below” others.

It suggests that you’re fragile, naive, or incapable just because you’re starting out.

It can be used as an excuse for others to talk down to you or dismiss your experiences.

🌱 A Better Way to Frame It

Everyone begins somewhere, but being new doesn’t make you a child. You’re still a witch, a practitioner, and a seeker of knowledge. A beginner, an apprentice, a novice, these are words that respect where you are without stripping away your dignity.

🔥 The Truth

Calling yourself a witch, no matter how long you’ve practiced, is valid. You don’t need to earn permission. You don’t need someone else’s approval. You are not “baby” anything. You are a witch. Period.

✨ If you’re new to the craft and tired of being talked down to, I’ve created guides, posts, and resources that respect your journey. You can find more through my Ko-fi because you deserve tools that empower, not infantilize.

Spiritual Psychosis: What No One Talks About in Witchcraft Spaces 🕯️🌀

We see so many posts about spiritual awakenings, third eye openings, and downloads from the universe… but almost no one warns about the shadow side: spiritual psychosis.

This isn’t just “dark night of the soul” or a rough patch in your practice. Spiritual psychosis happens when your spiritual journey tips into unhealthy extremes that blur the line between reality and delusion.

🚨 Signs of Spiritual Psychosis

Feeling like every single event, sound, or movement is a “sign” meant for you

Losing the ability to separate intuition from paranoia

Obsessively pulling tarot or divination tools for the same question until it spirals

Feeling chosen, cursed, or targeted by unseen forces to an overwhelming degree

Neglecting your physical health, relationships, or responsibilities in the name of spirituality

🪞 Why It Happens

Spiritual psychosis often arises when people dive headfirst into magic or spirituality without grounding, protection, or healthy balance. Opening yourself up energetically without structure can flood your psyche with too much input — leaving you raw, overstimulated, and vulnerable.

🌱 How to Protect Yourself

1. Ground daily. Eat nourishing food, go outside, touch the earth.

2. Discernment is key. Not every candle flicker is a message. Practice saying, “Not everything is a sign.”

3. Limit divination. Pull your cards once, accept the message, and move on.

4. Balance spiritual and mundane life. Pay bills, clean your space, nurture relationships. These are sacred too.

5. Seek help if needed. There’s no shame in talking to a therapist or mental health professional if your practice feels overwhelming.

✨ The Truth

Spiritual awakenings are powerful — but they should expand your life, not make it collapse. A healthy magical practice will help you feel more empowered, connected, and at peace… not paranoid, isolated, or trapped.

Beginner’s Guide to Love Magic 💕✨

Love magic gets a lot of attention in the witchcraft community, and for good reason, it’s one of the oldest and most practiced forms of magic across cultures. But if you’re just starting out, it can feel overwhelming or even intimidating. Let’s break it down so you can approach it safely and powerfully.

🌹 Step 1: Know What Love Magic Really Is

Love magic isn’t just about making someone obsessed with you. It’s about attraction, confidence, deepening bonds, self-love, and healing. Think of it as tuning your energy (and sometimes someone else’s) to align with love in its many forms.

🕯️ Step 2: Start with Self-Love

The strongest love magic begins with you. Try lighting a pink candle and speaking affirmations like, “I am worthy of love, and I attract love that honors me.” When you glow from within, your magic naturally extends outward.

🌸 Step 3: Learn Your Tools

Rose Quartz → Gentle attraction, self-love, emotional healing

Honey & Sugar → Sweetens situations, brings harmony

Roses, Lavender, Jasmine → Romance, sensuality, passion

Red or Pink Candles → Desire, love, attraction

🔮 Step 4: Keep Consent in Mind

Love magic without consideration of free will can get messy fast. Instead of trying to force someone specific to love you, focus on attracting the right partner for your highest good. This not only works better long-term but also avoids the karmic backlash of obsession magic.

💌 Step 5: Start Simple

An easy beginner spell: write your name on a piece of paper, surround it with rose petals, and place a rose quartz in the center. Charge it with your intention (confidence, self-love, attraction) and carry the quartz with you for a week.

✨ I’ve written more detailed guides and spell collections on love magic that you can grab through my Ko-fi if you’re ready to go deeper.

Love magic doesn’t have to be manipulative or complicated. Start with yourself, work with the energy of attraction, and let the universe guide who walks into your life.

5 Myths About Fairy Magic That Will Get You in Trouble 🌿✨

Fairy magic isn’t soft, sparkly, or harmless. It’s one of the oldest forms of spirit work, and it demands respect. Too many people fall into traps because of what they think the Fae are. Let’s clear some things up:

1. Fairies are “cute” nature spirits.

Fairies are not Disney characters. In traditional folklore, they are powerful, unpredictable, and sometimes dangerous. Treat them as equals, not pets.

2. You can call on them without offerings.

Nope. Fae are beings of reciprocity. If you take without giving, you’ll find yourself drained, unlucky, or haunted by trickster energy.

3. Fairy magic is always positive.

Fairy blessings are real but so are fairy curses. Align with them respectfully, and you’ll gain allies. Cross them, and you’ll regret it.

4. The Fae don’t exist anymore.

Folklore never died. People still encounter them in forests, crossroads, and liminal spaces. Just because you don’t believe in them doesn’t mean they’re gone.

5. Anyone can dive straight into fairy work.

This is the fastest way to get in trouble. Fairy magic requires grounding, protection, and a clear sense of your own boundaries before you even attempt it.

🌸 Fairy magic is powerful but it’s not for the reckless. It isn't like invoking a deity or guide. It is a working relationship, a give and take but they definitely take more than give.

What’s something you’ve heard about the Fae?

Love magic is one of the most misunderstood areas of witchcraft. I’ve lost count of how many people come to me saying they “don’t believe in it” or that it “never works.” But most of that comes from myths and half-truths. Let’s clear the air:

1. Love magic is always manipulative.

Wrong. The most powerful love spells aren’t about controlling someone else, they’re about aligning you with love, confidence, and attraction so the right people find you naturally.

2. You need rare ingredients to make it work.

Nope. Some of the strongest love spells I’ve ever done used sugar, a candle, and intention. Don’t let anyone convince you that you need to spend hundreds to cast real magic.

3. You can’t do love magic for yourself.

Of course you can. In fact, self-love magic is often the most important kind because it shifts your energy and makes every other spell stronger.

4. Love magic backfires if it “fails.”

Another fear tactic. If a spell doesn’t manifest, it usually just means the timing or alignment wasn’t right, not that the universe is punishing you.

5. Only “love witches” can do it.

I never set out to be a love witch, but my results kept speaking for themselves. The truth? Anyone can practice love magic if they approach it with clarity and respect.

Love Magic 101: Why Most Spells Fail

Love magic has a reputation for being either incredibly powerful or completely useless and honestly, both are true depending on how it’s done. Most love spells fail for one simple reason: the caster forgets that magic works with your energy, not against it.

If you’re trying to attract love while deep down believing you’re unworthy of it, the magic will hit a wall. It’s like planting seeds in frozen ground, nothing grows until the ice thaws. That “thawing” is the self-work part of spellcraft, and it’s where many beginners stumble.

A strong love spell aligns your intent, your energy, and your target’s openness. Without that alignment, you might as well be whispering into the wind.

✨ If you want spells that actually work, I offer custom love magic through my Ko-fi that’s tailored to you and your unique situation, no generic Pinterest spells here.

What’s the most common reason your spells don’t work? I’d love to hear your experiences.
