Broke Witch Help
We all go through times where we don't have the greatest amount of money in our pockets, especially with the economy these days no matter where you live in the world.
You don't need to buy things to be a legitimate witch, and here are a few things that can help you figure out how to get things you may need for your craft if you don't have a lot of money.
Grimoire/BoS Alternatives
Your grimoire and/or Book of Shadows doesn't have to be fancy at all! You can always get the most basic notebooks and use these as ways to write down your personal experiences, things you've learned and spells. Even this isn't for everyone.
The notes app on your phone can totally be your magical notebook, but if you want a specific app you can always start a secret tumblr page just for yourself or even get an app like Penzu where you can get one free online journal for free!
There are of course other apps that you can use, but the important thing is that you can freely write what you want! I just started a dream journal on Penzu myself and it's been really helpful!
Herbology
People don't realise just how easy it is to go outside and pick things up sometimes. Woods are everywhere and as long as you have a good education on what it is you're picking up then you can totally pick up plants and leaves in your local woodland. I would usually link to a source about the topic at hand, but unfortunately I think this is one everyone will need to research about their own area as different plants grow in different places.
Crystals/Stones
In all honesty the first stones I worked with were rocks I picked up off the ground, I felt their energy and worked with them how they told me they worked better. If you aren't someone is able to read energy this way, you can definitely still use rocks you've picked up from the ground. Whilst stones like amethyst and quartz have good qualities and look pretty, stones from the ground can still be pretty powerful. They're just as natural, and just as part of natures way as the ones we have attributed certain abilities to.
Knowledge and Fact Checking
As I'm sure everyone on this website is aware, the internet isn't the best place for gaining knowledge and fact checking is always best before making a decision on whether information is truthful or not. The truth is, books about witch craft and paganism are just the same anyway. Unless there are many sources saying the same thing, it's important to question and fact check everything you read. Whilst books can be an integral part of the craft for some people, they aren't necessarily the most important thing.
Anything we find in books we can find on the internet, and all media needs to be questioned. This part of my post is mainly a part to say, don't feel bad for not having a library of books on the craft. There are many ways to learn.
If there are any other things you may need help with please do let me know. If you have any extra insight, please also add to this.
