5 Signs the Spirits Are Ignoring You
by darkwitchery.com —
"Because the dead aren’t always dying to talk to you!"
So you saged, you circled, you lit every candle in your damn drawer.
You whispered into the void. You even used your “witch voice.”But the spirits?
Crickets.
If your spells feel like they’re bouncing off a brick wall and your pendulum’s more confused than your last situationship… congratulations, you might be getting ghosted.
By actual ghosts.
Let’s take a walk through the warning signs, shall we?
1. Your Tools Are Deader Than the Dead
Your cards? Limp.Your pendulum? Hanging like it’s on spiritual strike. That black candle? More like a bland candle.
When your sacred tools feel like Dollar Store knockoffs, it’s not the gear—it’s the lack of spiritual energy behind them. The spirits have logged out.
Why?
Because they’re not your Alexa. They’re not here for daily check-ins unless you’ve earned the right. Or at least left a decent offering.
Fix It:
Cleanse your space. Not with love and light—with respect and intention.And maybe stop asking “What should I do?” ten times a week.
2. Your Dreams Went from Witchy to Walmart
Remember when your dreams were vivid, prophetic, witchy masterpieces? Now it’s just you, wandering a grocery store with no pants.
If your dreamspace turns into a loop of mundane nonsense, the spirits have likely exited stage left. You’ve lost access to the astral backroom.
Why?
Because you're ignoring their signs in waking life—and they’re tired of repeating themselves in your dreams like some celestial customer service agent.
Fix It:
Leave an offering. Apologize. And for the love of shadow, stop doom-scrolling before bed. Spirits won’t download messages into a brain full of TikTok static.
3. The Same Card Keeps Mocking You
You pull the Tower. Again.Or the Hanged Man. Again.Or—gods help you—the “maybe later” card.
You think: “Wow, such a powerful message!”The spirits think: “How many times do we have to tell this witch the same thing?”
Why?
Because they already gave you the answer. And instead of acting, you’re just pulling cards like it’s a vending machine for validation.
Fix It:
Take the damn advice. Or shut your deck for seven days and let your guides cool off.
4. You Feel Worse After Rituals
You light the candles, chant the chant, throw the herbs—and end up feeling like you’ve been spiritually mugged.
There’s no post-ritual glow. Just the deep, echoing question: “Did anything actually happen?”
Why?
Because you were casting into static. The spirits didn't show up. You burned your energy and got nothing in return.
Fix It:
Check your moon phase. Check your intention. And stop mixing Dollar Tree candles with ancient Sumerian invocations.
5. The Signs? What Signs?
You used to get chills, flickering lights, shadowy presences. Now? Not even the house creaks anymore.
You’re not haunted—you’re on hold.
Why? Because they’re tired. Or insulted. Or bored. Or maybe you’ve become so energetically scattered that they can’t find your signature anymore.
Fix It:
Cleanse
Ground
Go silent for a few days
Offer without asking
And try approaching like you would an ancient entity—not a cosmic vending machine
When the Spirits Ghost You: What It Really Means
They’re not punishing you. They’re just… ignoring you.
Sometimes it’s your vibe. Sometimes it’s your neediness. Sometimes they’re testing whether you’ll crumble without their constant guidance.
And sometimes? They just like to watch you squirm.
How to Get Their Attention (Without Groveling):
Burn an herb that smells like a memory (wormwood, pine, rose, myrrh)
Leave something meaningful (not basic) on the altar
Speak directly. No whining. Just, “If you're watching, I’m still here.”
And then? Shut up and wait. The shadows don’t rush for anyone.
Final Note:
If you’ve been feeling spiritually ghosted—don’t worry.
The dead are petty. The old spirits love drama. And sometimes… silence is the answer.
But once they come back?
Oh honey, buckle up.
They don’t come back quietly.

Oh my goddess! There was a time I depended heavily on my cards and pendulum. They told me they wanted me to look within more. So I did. I pull cards only once a week, asking what I need to know. I give offerings regularly and sprinkle some to our land spirits
Thanks
