What to Expect After Ritual Work Is Done & How Your Energy Plays a Role
Once ritual work has been completed, one of the most common questions is: What do I do now? For the most part, you allow the work to be done. You don't need to constantly think about the ritual, search for signs, repeat your intention all day, or worry that one negative thought has somehow undone everything. You are still human though, and you are going to have emotions, doubts, good days, bad days, and moments when the situation is on your mind. What matters more is the over
How to Write Your Intention for Ritual Work
When placing an order, you are welcome to explain what is happening, but please also clearly tell me your intentions aligned with the spells selected. Your situation explains the problem. Your intention tells me what you want the ritual work focused on. For example: Instead of: “We broke up, they are ignoring me, and I need them to come back.” Try: “I intend to open the path toward reconciliation, communication, and rebuilding our connection.” Instead of: “I don't want to los
Etsy Witch Warnings
The Etsy Witch Warnings page exists to document Etsy spell and ritual shops that have used original photographs, videos, ritual work, or other content belonging to The Hour of Witchery without my permission. This page was created after I discovered that my work was being taken from my website and social media accounts, used in Etsy listings, and in some cases digitally manipulated with AI. My branding, website information, and identifying details have been removed from certai
I Need Your Help Protecting The Hour of Witchery’s Work
Many of you may remember the warning I recently sent regarding a fraudulent Etsy shop that was using my original ritual photographs and videos without my permission. That shop is not only using my work in its listings, but is also digitally manipulating my photographs with AI and sending them to paying customers as supposed proof that personalized rituals had been completed. Several customers of that shop have since contacted me directly. The completion feedback they received
Lion’s Gate: What It Is & Why I Offer Ritual Work for 8/8
Lion’s Gate is one of those spiritual dates that gets talked about a lot online but then there are also a lot of people I feel don't even know about it or how it can benefit spiritual work. So I wanted to explain it, especially if you’re curious about what Lion’s Gate is, why people connect it with manifestation, and why I offer Lion’s Gate ritual castings as a separate add-on, similar to Full Moon and New Moon ritual work. In modern spiritual practice, Lion’s Gate is connect
What I Work With, What I Don’t & Why I Do This Work
People often see clips of my altar, candles, herbs, smoke, crystals, petitions, and the ritual work I share online but I know it can still leave questions about what my practice actually is... especially when they see that I offer both white magic and black magic rituals. I am a traditional witch and spiritual practitioner with more than 30 years of personal experience behind my practice and growth into my practice I use today. I don't worship or work under one specific god o
Witchcraft Is a Physical Practice: Why AI Cannot Do Spellwork for You
Never in a million years did I think I would write a post about this. However, I have noticed a few people coming to me lately stating they use AI for their spiritual work or ritual practices, intentions and manifestations, and even divination. Witchcraft is not something that happens because a screen generated a paragraph for you. I know AI is becoming part of everything now, and there are people asking ChatGPT and other platforms to cast spells, perform rituals, contact sp
What Is Spell Reversal Work?
Spell reversal work is something people ask about more often than many realize, and I think it is important to explain it in a clear way because there can be a lot of fear, guilt, or confusion around it. Wanting a spell reversed does not automatically mean anything bad happened and it does not automatically mean the original spell work was wrong, harmful, or poorly done, which are common assumptions and misconceptions. Sometimes a person simply changes their mind, their emot
2026 Sabbat Closure Dates
The Hour of Witchery will be closed on the eight Sabbats throughout the year. These are sacred days for me personally, and I will be using these dates to rest, recharge, celebrate the Sabbats, spend time in nature, do my own ritual work, and take space away from messages, emails, rush orders, and screens. The Hour of Witchery will be closed on the following dates*: Imbolc: February 1 - 2 Ostara: March 20 - 22 Beltane: April 30 - May 1 Litha: June 20 - 22 Lughnasadh: August 1
What You Can Do to Support the Energy After Ritual Work
One of the questions I get asked most often after ritual work is completed is, “What can I do now?” I understand why people ask this because when you have put your hope, time, money, and emotions into a situation, it is natural to want to know how to support the work and what your part is after the ritual has been done. This is why I wanted to write this in one place, so you have something to come back to when you are wondering how to move forward. Ritual work is powerful, bu
Avoidant People & Ritual Work
A lot of people want ritual work when they are dealing with someone avoidant and this type of energy and behavior can look/feel like hot and cold, emotional distance, no contact, mixed signals, sudden pulling away, or someone who seems to feel the connection but still refuses to show up properly. These situations can be painful because the energy may still feel active, but the person’s actions can make everything feel confusing. From a spiritual perspective, avoidant people a
I Am Not an Influencer. I Am a Practitioner, Teacher, and Guide.
First and foremost, I have nothing against influencers, and this is not meant to put anyone down. There are many people online who create helpful, beautiful, and interesting content, and I think there is value in that. Social media has allowed people to share knowledge, build communities, and introduce others to topics they may not have found otherwise. In fact, I use social media sometimes to share my work or knowledge, although I will admit...I am terrible at consistent pos
Where to Find Your Ritual Photos or Video
If you selected photos or a video with your ritual order, your media will be sent after your ritual has been completed and your order feedback has been prepared. Please keep in mind that media is still part of the regular order process and follows the turnaround time connected to the option you selected at checkout. Due to the high volume of orders with different services, media takes about 4-10 days. Feedback will always be sent to you after your ritual is completed. All med
How I Prepare for Full Moon, New Moon & Witching Hour Ritual Nights
Full Moon, New Moon, and Witching Hour ritual nights are not treated like regular working days for me. These are specific spiritual windows that I prepare for ahead of time because I already know the energy, the timing, and the amount of ritual work can be very different from a normal day. On Full Moon and New Moon dates, I often have multiple customers booking ritual work for the same energetic window. These nights can become very full, with back-to-back rituals and personal
Should You Order More Ritual Work or Wait?
Another question I often receive is whether someone should order more ritual work after a spell has already been completed. Some people want to repeat the same spell, strengthen the original work, add a different spell, or figure out whether they should simply wait and let the energy unfold. The honest answer is that it depends on the situation. Every situation is different. Some are simple and only need one clear intention. Others have several layers, such as emotional resis
What Should You Do After Ritual Work?
One of the most common questions I receive after ritual work is, “What should I do now?” or "Is there anything I can do?" This is a normal question, especially when the situation matters deeply to you. Ritual work is spiritual and energetic support but your mindset, communication, choices, and real world actions still play an important role after the work is done. Give the Energy Time to Move After a ritual is completed, try not to panic if nothing changes immediately or thin
The Truth About Ritual Work, Resistance & Forcing
I always want to help people in a spiritual and energetic sense. I really do. That is why I do this work, and it is why I take the time to write feedback, explain what I felt, where the energy moved, where it resisted, where the flame shifted, where the burn was heavier, and what came through spiritually. When someone comes to me for ritual work, a reading, spiritual guidance, or any kind of energetic support, I know they are usually coming from a place that matters deeply to
Money Spells & Lotto Intentions
I want to speak about something that comes up often with money spells, fast cash spells, abundance work, luck spells, and similar rituals. Sometimes, when people place an order, they write in their intention that they want to win the lottery, become rich, hit the jackpot, or receive some massive amount of money. I understand why people write this. Financial stress is heavy and when someone is struggling, they naturally want relief, freedom, luck and a way out of whatever pres
“They’re My Soulmate”… But Do They Feel the Same?
This is something I see a lot, and it’s something I feel needs to be talked about more honestly, and there needs to be some spiritual understanding. People come to me and say things like, “he’s my soulmate,” or “she’s my twin flame,” or “I know we’re meant to be together.” And I understand where that’s coming from because what they’re feeling is real to them. The emotions are real, the pull at the heart feels real, and the connection can feel very intense. I’m not here to dis
Your Responsibility When Purchasing Ritual Work, Readings, or Spiritual Services
So the information within this post has always been listed all over the website, under the listings, under the FAQ, under the Policies, and likely more places, but I want to be sure it is covered everywhere on my site and within my business, especially for any newcomers. Choosing Spiritual Work Is Always Your Decision When you choose to purchase ritual work, readings, or any spiritual service through my website, that choice is entirely your own. All services offered here are
One Tree Planted: Giving Back Through The Hour of Witchery
One of the things that has always been important to me, both in my personal life and within my business, is giving back to the natural world. The earth provides so much for us. The herbs we work with, the forests we walk through, the elements we honor in our rituals. Because of this, I believe it is important that my business also contributes something positive in return. Each month, I donate to One Tree Planted, a global nonprofit organization focused on reforestation and en
A Closer Look at My Practice as a Traditional Witch
Over the years, I have had many people ask me questions about my craft and how I practice. Some are simply curious, while others want to better understand the work I do before requesting ritual services. Because the word “witch” carries many different meanings depending on who you ask, I thought it would be helpful to explain my path clearly and directly. I practice traditional witchcraft, and my work is rooted in nearly three decades of personal experience with the craft. S
A Quick Note on Respect & Communication
I am grateful to work with my incredible clients from all over the world and when someone new crosses my path every day. The vast majority of people who come to me are kind, respectful, and genuinely appreciative of the work that I do. Because of that, situations involving disrespect or negative communication are extremely rare. In fact, they happen maybe once a year at most, but due to a surge of new people coming my way, I am bound to run into a couple of unfortunate expe
Important Notice: Impersonation & Scam Accounts
There has been a significant increase in scam accounts and impersonation profiles online , especially within the spiritual and metaphysical community. I have already written an article discussing the issue of people being scammed when seeking spiritual services online, and I encourage everyone to read that article if you have not already. Unfortunately, this problem continues to grow across many platforms. Because of this, I want to make something very clear and very direct .
