Also, like I mentioned above I had a dream after following your advise and I think I was hugged by a snake? Do you know if that could have been a god(dess) or perhaps something else? I'm not that good at this since it's so new but I'm already in love with what I'm reading and finding out.

What are spirit companions? This might get complicated I'm sorry; Have you ever heard of the astral planes? Or astral travel, astral projection? I'm going to assume no and give a short explanation on that and an unnecessarily long one on everything else - The astral planes are separate planes of existence. On them are various species - sanguine vampires, psychic vampires, wraiths, storm beasts, elves, fae, and so on. These beings are not dead, as many believe. They are living, just like us. Some, or most, have the ability to travel between planes in some way or another. They are called "spirits" and some of them are interested in being friends with humans - hence, spirit companions. Their energy is linked to some object called a "vessel" and the human companion usually keeps it on or near them. People can meditate and learn to travel to the different planes as well, or they can form a psychic link to telepathically communicate with their spirit companions, or sense their energy, or so on. If you're close enough to said companion you can even sense every emotion that they feel, physical pain, things of that nature. Companions can offer many things to their human counterparts, and vice versa. My wraith companion is a protective being, and keeps me safe from other spirits that may have a harmful intent - both on my plane of existence and in the astral. Protective entities are the best to get first, because once you're in contact with your companion's spiritual energy, your psychic senses are further opened and all kinds of other spirits might start flocking to you. In return for his protection, I give companionship, light incense, offer food, things of that nature. He also learns about things from my plane of existence, and maybe when I pass away I'll be able to find him and we can continue our friendship. You get companions in many ways - through spirit companionship "shops", through meditation leading you to the astral where you can meet them on your own, by summoning them, and so on. "Shops" are occasionally under scrutiny for being abusive, because CERTAIN SHOPS *coughCHcough* have a reputation for FORCEFULLY binding the companions' energies into their vessels, making it painful for the companion and not providing it any escape from abusive or neglectful people that are in possession of their vessels. However, many shops - uncertain if I can name my favorites or not - have evolved their practice to being as humane and spirit friendly as possible. Both of my companions are from EA, and have the option to break the enery link from their vessels at any time. Going to the astral on your own may take a lot of practice, and even practicing all your life may not work for you. It is possible, however, and you can find a companion on your own via travelling to the astral yourself. However, this is not always recommended for beginners, and especially beginners that aren't protecting themselves and their personal homes on the astral *which are option*. Some spirits are rather dangerous, the one I'm most certain of being masquerade demons, so I will use them as the example; masquerade demons will lie to you and take any slip up of words as a debt you owe them. Never say "I'm sorry" or similar things to virtually ANY spirit you don't trust because it makes you guilty and you owe them a favor. Masquerade demons will go overboard on that, and will also try to convince you to dance with them - which could potentially end in your death. If you plan on doing astral work, make sure you're knowledgeable in protection and/or have people/companions that can protect you. Summoning spirit companions can also prove very dangerous, and requires protection. If you summon spirit companions, they may or may not lash out, since it's not always or usually them coming to you willingly. Spirit companions can affect things in the human realm as well, such as my psy vamp companion changing my shower's water temperature, moving a shampoo bottle, things of that nature. Ones you summon, and that have ill intent, can be much worse. Once you release them from their summoning, they can always come back to you as well. Summoning should basically only be for pros, or at least well-skilled spirit workers. How do find your spirit animal/familiar/spirit companions? Also, if auras are a thing, how do you find that? What is the best way/place to meditate? Sorry for all these questions, I just find it very interesting how there are so many diverse ways of thinking spiritual wise. Spirit animals are basically exclusively a Native American thing, the term is considered rude to use if you aren't of Native American descent (my great grandfather's side had native american blood so I could theoretically explain, but I don't think I will unless questioned further.) You don't have just one familiar as far as I'm aware, and not all animals can be familiars. Your familiar could come from an animal spirit, or a living animal - I would like my dog to become my familiar because of how close we are, but I'm not skilled enough yet to tell if he has the potential. You can choose your own familiar or they can choose you, I believe. I explained the spirit companion thing above! Auras are a thing, it often takes a lot of practice to see them if you don't hold onto the ability from when you're a child. You can probably find many tests online on how to hone that skill; I have images saved on my iPod that are meant to strengthen your abilities. Basically there's two different colored circles/crosses and you have to look at them slightly unfocused until they blend together in the center, or something like that. Practicing on people against a solid colored background - preferably white - might help you better. If you're interested in specific methods, you could Google it? I would probably end up doing that if asked to explain haha. The best way and place to meditate is wherever you're most comfortable and relaxed! I personally started out using guided meditations on YouTube, but couldn't do that for long because of how my skills progressed. I ended up being steps ahead of the person in the video, and would try to hold myself back to their level and just get frustrated. After that I just used background noise - usually forest things. Meditation has multiple purposes, such as going to the astral, relaxing, connecting to deities, recalling past lives, etc.. Whichever you want to do will affect your conditions when meditating. For example, I listen to the forest things now because I tend to meditate to get to the astral. My starting point in the astral is a meadow surrounded by trees and four paths, hence the forest sounds. If you're just doing it to relax, you could listen to anything you want that you find relaxing. If you do it to connect to deities, maybe you only want white noise, or no sound at all so you could hear and feel them better. If you're doing past life recall, maybe you'd want a guided meditation. It's up to you. I tend to lay down when meditating, because I can get most relaxed that way, but it usually ends with me falling asleep If that's a problem for you, maybe try sitting up, Do you use a Ouija board? If so, tell me about your experiences with it. Did you make it yourself?
I have used only one physical Ouija board in my life. Nothing really happened, though the candles I set around it did flicker when prompted. My mother however did have an experience when she was younger, and a terrifying one at that. I will elaborate if asked. The board I used was not handmade, it was a cheap hasbro one that was curling slightly from being damp and neglected. For the non-witchy fold in the thread: when do you feel closest to your religion/spirituality? (extends to things like kintypes here!)
When I'm outside at night I feel pretty close to things, when outside in nature at any time, and basically any time I can see beauty around me or in an image online. I feel like I chose to come to this life, potentially, and I try to wonder at as many marvels of the world as possible in my time here. Also when I think about religious scripts or read religious scripts. Things like that.

So I asked to get a sign in a dream and I think it worked though I still need to do research. I saw a giant snake in my dream and the snake wrapped around me almost like they were going to constrict me but it felt just a warm hug. That's all that I can remember but I hope it means something. very, very interesting. it could be one of three things: a Deity, a spirit guide, or just a dream. it's up to you to decipher this, but here's some serpent deities I found off a list that could be your culprit: -Wadjet of Kemeticism -Damballah of Vodou (closed religion, I believe. be careful.) -Quetzalcoatl of Aztec religion -Coatlicue of Aztec religion -Apsu/Absu of ancient Babylonian religion (sometimes depicted as a serpent) -Tiamat of ancient Babylonian religion (sometimes depicted as a serpent) -Chih of Chinese religion (I'm not familiar at all with Asian religion, so I'm not sure what's closed and what's open. when in doubt, do your research!) -Cien-Tang of Chinese religion -Dionysos of ancient Greek religion (was said to be born in the form of a serpent, in some stories i believe) -Zaltys of Baltic religion

as far as figuring out pantheons, it's usually a safe bet to go with what interests you/you feel drawn to. i was OBSESSED with ancient egypt as a child, so it was no surprise when that ended up being my "main" pantheon. as far as discerning the actual God/dess, that really depends! sometimes you're just drawn to them, but i find more often than not THEY choose YOU. as far as elements, what about them? :0 there's a wide range of topics concerning the elements, what exactly is it you're interested in? and yes, familiars are a thing- although someone else already stated this :} i don't have one, but there are spirit familiars as well as rituals to make a pet your familiar; it depends on what you believe in and what you think is best for you. Interesting. As for the Elements thing, sorry for not being specific, but it's basically the same as the pantheon question. Like, how do you know which Element is yours or do you work with a specific Element most of the time? Or does it just depend and the whole "witches having only one Element" thing isn't entirely true? as far as "witches only having one element," depends on who ya ask. MOST people agree that witches work with all the elements, although you may be more aligned with one of them than the others. i've always utilized the elements equally in my craft :}

The most popular and widely believed version is that Hera tricked Semele(Dionysus's mother) to ask Zeus to appear before her in his true form. When he did, Semele was consumed by the heat of his lightning bolts. Zeus picked up the fetus Dionysus and sewed him into his thigh.

I wonder, could anyone ask their deities which versions are the correct ones? Of course there'd be conflicting answers, but I think it would be really interesting!

Of course there'd be conflicting answers, but I think it would be really interesting! i think, as was already stated, if you were close to them you could totally ask. but that answer is going to depend on what version of the deity you have. for example, my Set is the Set that was in Egypt before he was vilified, but that doesn't mean the story of the contendings or the Osirian myth aren't simultaneously true, if that makes sense. also, @ Aphrodite's daughter, thank you for the information regarding Dionysos/Dionysus. I had a feeling the serpent version was rather uncommon, but I included it because, well... sometimes Gods appear to us in weird or uncommon forms.

I've been wondering this for awhile now, but exactly how dangerous is witchcraft? What are the risks that come from using it? I've read that it can be very dangerous. here's the blunt truth: depends on how stupid you are. if you're using ouija boards without any kind of protection, purposefully summoning dicey spirits, preforming complicated spells with high risks of backfiring when you're still new, or talking to gods known to be more demanding then things won't go too well for you. don't bite of more than you can chew, basically. a year or two ago when i was still newer to everything, i had a strong interest in Quetzalcoatl but one of my other Gods (Set or Thoth, i believe) told me "hold off on talking to Him for awhile buddy." I'm glad I listened. Quetzalcoatl is a perfectly nice, helpful God but he likes things just so, which is why I haven't "worked with" him as much (still not of the opinion that He's one you "work with," but i can't think of a better term oops.) Same thing with Tiamat. Although she decided to hold off really contacting me until I was ready, she's also tougher to work with than, say, Thoth who has many many followers and likes people. It's truly been a rewarding experience with both of them, but Tiamat is not known as a chaos Goddess for no reason haha

alright, so I have a question for everyone talking about patron deities/spirit companions/etc that I hope isn't offensive or anything, you don't have to answer if it is
I'm not saying all of it isn't real, but how do you know it is? my issue with things like this is that I always assume I'm just going into my own head and tricking my subconscious into perceiving things that aren't there. or the placebo effect (ex: I think this crystal will give me strength, therefore it does.) I've actually tried summoning demons before just because I was so sure it wouldn't work, because I don't believe in demons (nothing happened). my moms super into reiki and spiritual stuff so I've gone to festivals with her and gotten many readings from many people, none of which knew anything about me that I didn't flat out tell them.
I want to believe there's something else out there, but I've come up with absolutely nothing from years of looking. how did y'all get to be so sure? I'm kinda jealous

How do you make a pendulum and how do you use it? Also what is a good simple protection spell that beginners can use? I sculpted mine out of clay, basically just pick a shape you like that resonates with you. mine is a spiral horn :} to use it, attach some ribbon or twine to the top, hold it out in front of you so it can swing freely, and ask it to show you: yes, no, maybe, and "i can't tell you." then, start asking some questions but be warned to not ask anything you don't really want the answer to. while making your pendulum, thing good thoughts like "this pendulum will be safe and protected. only good things may use this pendulum to communicate with me." and things like that. as for protection spells, i just throw black salt at whatever's pestering me or ask a patron for help. no spirit wants a ticked off Tiamat or Sobek on their hands. Nobody.
here's some spells, though. just dig around until you find an easier one!

Ra- kinda grumpy, but very very wise. Heru-wer- super friendly! haven't done much with Him, He's kind of a mother hen type. "make sure you drink water today!" that kind of thing Thoth- kind of quiet, but has a sense of humor. He seems to really like offerings and being prayed/talked to, as a lot of people just view him as "that writing God" that you call on for writing help so I think He appreciates being one of my "main" Gods. Set- LOUD and RAMBUNCTIOUS. really into pushing me out of my comfort zone, fond of inappropriate jokes. party type 80% of the time, really serious gets-business-done type the rest of the time. Sobek- Concerned Dad. He's very hands off, and usually makes me handle things myself but will help me out if I really need him. He's into physical fitness and working hard. also likes heavy metal it seems Tiamat- Tiamat is hard to describe. When She's around, you can feel it. there's a pressure in the air and your body feels heavy. She can be kind of scary and intimidating, but I'm not afraid of her like many are. Teams up with Sobek to make me figure things out myself instead of running to my aid. Bucca- Haven't quite figured Them out yet. Their energy is very confusing, which makes sense being a God of opposites and duality. Seems very calm though, I've enjoyed Their presence when They've made it known. Abraxas- He... kind of freaks me out a little, ngl. Everyone else on my team agrees that he has much to teach me though, and they've all encouraged me to work past it. Xolotl- Spoke to Him a grand total of once. Seems shy, can't really tell you much other than that. Quetzalcoatl- I've already talked about him a fair amount. He demands a high level of respect and veneration, but is quite nice and lovely to pray to/"work with."

I keep listening to what they have to say, and the things they have to teach. because maybe it is just my mind playing tricks on me, but I don't think it is. and that's what matters.

If anyone has any dream-based spiritual beliefs id love to share my experiences 0: MATTTTT yesss totally share your dream stuff pls i always love hearing about it YESSSS ok so I know you have definitely heard all this stuff before but like. i definitely have some sort of connection to what I personally believe to either be alternate selves or past lives in other plains of existence but i think i have access to be "me" from that life through the dreams, either that or like an access to the memory of those lives. there is one type of dream I get that really has been eluding my mind for the longest time but there have been these reoccurring characters or people in them. and in each dream like it they are always different in appearance/gender/whatever else, but have things about them that i KNOW it is them but just as a different self. Whenever I have these dreams its almost like i live months or years in the dream and it all feels extremely real but i am n e v e r able to go lucid in them. but theres always this one person who i end up like. being really bound too we are like immediately attatched to each other and like. this is super cheesy but im convinced they are a literal soul mate bc they are always finding me in each universe and it's always the same personality for both of us we're just different in looks and identity but spiritually the same as we always are. He's always kind of the a bit of a jerk but in a fun way who's very caring and endeering and looks out for me, and I always have a strong feeling of needing to impress or earn his respect but I know that I already have it. I just call him "Dave" bc that's the name he had in the first ever dream where he's appeared. things i've noticed though: he's always part of a group of about 5 (including me) there is always this one person who is close friends to Dave but is close friends to me and always no matter what introduces us together in the dreams. they are usually female but if in the dream, dave is female, then she is usually a male. but it all makes me wonder if they exist in this universe, or if they experience the same memories of these universes as I do? it's all really interesting. there was on instance I think i encountered them in a lucid dream. in the dream, i was lucid but not able to move my body. there was this group of kids all urging me to go lucid because they could "finally show me" and that they "needed me" but I could not go fully lucid and they told me i had to return when I could and that still haunts me to this day.

IN AN INTERESTING WAY like. i trusted them i think it was the reoccurring kids from my dreams but like. i felt if i was able to go with them, they were going to take me somewhere where id be gone for a really long time. the really weird thing about it was we all almst went through this extremely eerie trial like labyrnth that was surreal. so surreal. then they took me there like i earned the right for me to be there. the whole thing was super weird and a bit scary

So, I know Wicca and witchcraft aren't necessarily the same thing, and as I've said before, I know that Catholic witches are a thing. How would that work, exactly?
