there’s definitely a lot of “how to get started with witchcraft” posts and a lot of them are really helpful, but here are some things i’ve picked up along the way that those posts often miss (or just straight up get wrong, imo)

i just realized these are basically in order from least to most important, but the order makes a lot of sense so hear me out

i know every single post like this starts with “research!!!” and i cannot stress that enough but don’t spend weeks and weeks researching before your first spell. it is incredibly important to know your stuff but you really won’t learn anything substantial from just theory. practice is just as important, and you don’t need to research everything in depth before you go for it.

get off tumblr for a bit. this doesn’t mean walk into a book store and buy a book, because we don’t all have access to that. but google is free. and it has great answers for a lot of your questions. tumblr is great for getting you interested in certain things, but it usually doesn’t go as in depth as a good google search does. find something on here that you’re curious about, and then take your research elsewhere. 

stop bothering tumblr witches. seriously. unless you have a good, legitimate question that google can’t help you with, leave people alone. this might come off as rude but there’s no other way to say this: i can’t tell you how many times i get questions asking how to get started or if i have a spell for a specific problem. get that question and type it into your search engine. respect other peoples time and energy.

what other people associate things with is not a cold hard fact. people tend to talk about ingredients as if they have a symbolic meaning, but that ain’t it! it’s all about energies, and what helps you to tune into the energy you want. if you associate rose quartz (the love stone) with luck, it’s a luck stone! ingredients aren’t there for pure symbolism, they’re there so you can tap into their energy and use it to help you in your spellwork. if they’re just sitting there being symbolic but you feel no connection to them and what they’re doing, they might as well not be there. 

learn how spells work. you can’t just find a spell on here, do what it tells you to do, go through the motions, and expect it to work. your first few spells probably won’t work, and that’s normal. they don’t call witchcraft a practice for nothing! here’s a great article that i recommend for all beginners (x)

This is my grandfather’s rock.  It is Probably a Garnet, which he mined out himself when he was in college studying to be a geologist.

Though you may assume this is a Small Rock, it is in fact a very Large Rock, and also a very Heavy Rock, but most especially a very Square Rock, which is what makes it particularly cool.

Here we have a rock which used to be a tree.  This rock is petrified wood!  It was one of my very first Cool Rocks!

Speaking of rocks that used to be things that were not rocks, this rock is Petoskey stone!  This rock used to be a coral.  Let’s get a good look at those patterns.

Now that’s a Cool Rock!

Amethyst?  It’s an Okay Rock.  If you are looking for an inexpensive rock to start your collection, amethyst is the way to go.  It’s a quartz with a deep purple color.  A very nice, if average, rock.

Now citrine… Citrine is a Cool Rock!  It’s a smoky quartz with a lovely honey color.  The druzy on my chunk of citrine has a wonderful sparkle.

This is my Amazonite!  It grew that hexagon shape all by itself!!  This specimen is from Colorado.

Look at this shiny little slice of rock!  This rock is Tiger Iron, and those bands of red and orange glow beautifully with some light behind them.  These different colored bands are made from Hematite (the dark silver), Jasper (the red-orange), and Tiger-Eye quartz (the yellow-orange).

Here’s a rock you’ve probably seen before!  This Cool Rock is Malachite.  The patterns and rings are from the stalagmites this little egg was carved from.

Whoa, look at this giant slab of Extremely Cool Rock!!!  These crystals formed in the cracks of fossilized mud, to make the awesome patterns in this geode of Septarian!  This is my second best rock.

This is my Best and most Favorite Cool Rock.  In this dark room it’s a dull little grey rock, but if I move it closer to the light…

Those glints of gold!  Those veins of blue!  This rock is most certainly Labradorite, which changes color spectacularly when the light hits it just right.  Let’s put it in direct sunlight.
