I haven’t done witchcraft in probably 20 years. As a child and into my teens this was something I regularly practiced. It started in elementary school with a dear friend of mine who showed me her grandmas book collection on witchcraft. We would read for hours and then have some fun doing little spells. As I got older my mom supported me in these activities but she passed away in 2006, leaving me to my father’s care. Witchcraft was unexceptionable in my dad’s home (I hold no resentment or anger against my dad and stepmom, not everyone understands and as I got older I watched their eyes open and opinions of spiritual vs religion change for the better over the years). I still snuck off in the public library, hiding in the section of books I trusted but I had never physically done any kind of spells since then.
Yesterday I had an awful day, dealing with my property manager on an on going issue that has lasted 2 years. I couldn’t bring myself down from this even hours after. I didn’t sleep well and woke up with the feeing I needed to protect myself and my family. I’m not really sure if spells take immediate effect but my anxiety has lessened and my chest less tight, feeling like I’m breathing easier now.
It really just felt nice, like a piece of who I am came alive again.
