A post for begining witches
I know y'all have a lot of questions, so here are some common ones answered.
Iâm in the broom closet, how do I do magick subtly?
-do small things, like if you want candles act like you really like how they look or smell, and start showing an interest in jewelry, as you can enchant them or have crystals in them. Magick doesnt have to be very open, it can be quiet and simple things, like chants you say quietly over meals or learning how to do energy work and meditation and visualization, which are both inner magic (and things you need to know)
-Not everyone is good to work with dieties. And if you want to you have to study. I mean it, buy books on Norse, Egyptian, Greek, and Roman mythology, or any other myhology youâd like. Read them. Get to where you can recall a hundred different dieties and what they ruled over. Then start thinking about what you want in your craft. If youâre looking for love magic, try Freyja or Aphrodite. If youâre looking to know everything about everything magic, Hecate or Thoth are great. If you want to work with spirits of the dead or spirits in general, give my buddies Hades or Anubis a call. You just have to pray to them, meditate on them, try to contact them through a pendelum or tarot and give offerings. Eventually they will take notice and thatâs when your journey will begin.
-My two favorite books about magick are Witch Crafting by Phyllis Curott and The Wicca Handbook by Eileen Holland. The last one is only if you want to get into wicca, which isnât required, but as a Wiccan I can personally say itâs very fullfilling. I recommend you at least read the first one before attempting spells or anything.
How can I find my familiar?
-not everyone has a familiar. Its great if you find yours but itâs a journey for everyone. I say start volunteering at your local pet stores or adoption centers and get to know the animals. Donât push it, youâll feel when itâs right
Where can I get crystals?
-(If your closeted)Before getting crystals and stuff start expressing how cool you think they are to your family, like say they are pretty and decorative and a friend has them and they make her room look nice.
-Now a great place to buy them is Amazon and Etsy. You can get pounds of them for virtually nothing there, but if you want them to be cheap go with the tumbled stones instead of the raw ones.
What about herbs and oils?
The grocery store and your spice cabinet are your best friends. You can find tons of oils and herbs there, and they are relatively cheap.
-tarot is pretty amazing if you want to get into spirit work or divination, and I do recommend every person who practices magic learns at least on divination type, but if you arenât into spirit work or divination I say just stick to using a pendulum. They are quick and easy and literally any necklace you have can be one.
What should I do for my first spell?
-do something simple. Definitely donât try to make everlasting love or conjure a demon your first time. Before you even get into spells or anything I would really research warding, energy work, protection magick, and visualization and meditation techniques. Have all the knowledge before you start working magic, a mechanic wouldnât start working on a car without his tools and knowing whatâs wrong with it. Its the same concept. Magick isnât something to be played with, and you could get hurt if you arenât careful, dieties and spirits arenât quick to forgive.
How do I get into spirit work?
-did you read the above paragraph? If not do so now. And then calm down. Because this is gonna take at least a couple months before youâre ready to speak to a spirit. You have to know how to ward yourself from evil spirits that would hurt you, protect yourself from possession, ward your home, find out how to banish spirits, protection charms and sigils you could use, how to use a divination method such as tarot, runestones, or a pendelum, and then maybe youâre ready. But even then, you canât trust spirits. They could be lying. You may think youâre talking to your late father but you could be speaking to a demon or mischievious spirit, who is either pulling your leg or looking to hurt you. Spirits lie all the time. If they claim to know you from a past life, would make you more powerful, or that you are one of the most powerful witches theyâve ever met, run. Banish them because they just want to use you. Donât trust a spirit until youâve talked to them for a long time and theyâve earned your trust. And please be respectful, you could easily end up hurt.
-anything can be magick if you put your intent into it. Donât let anyone tell you youâre a bad witch for the way you practice your craft. Everyone has a different path
-you donât need a wand and athame and censor and all the tools in the world. What matters is your intent.
-you will reach a point in time where magick seems further away and you will reach a block. This is normal. It will pass.
- If youâre gonna be a witch thereâs something you have to know, youâre gonna need to study on your own. You canât sit here and ask everyone on tumblr for advice before picking up a book. Read, I mean it. It might change your mind on a lot of things about magic and you wonât seem like a silly person who just went âIâm a witch now, letâs make a post on tumblr asking everyone how to do everything and anything witchy.â This is a lifelong journey that you will never stop learning during. The more you read the more you will know and the more your power will grow. Tumblr is a great source of information, but itâs just the tip of the iceberg.
