When it comes to spellwork, energy work, manifestations, and just witchcraft in general,

Giving is a very important part of the process. In the universe, you cannot expect to receive something without giving back. When you plant a seed you give it time and care and In return it gives you harvest. You care for a cow and it gives you milk. Certain things require more work/care than others, different plants need more care than others, some cakes take more ingredients and money to make. It's the same with magick.

Giving Energy

Energy is one of the most common gives of a beginner and even advanced witch. Whether it be from crystals, moon/sun water, the self, or a kind plant (ie. burning a bay leaf), energy can be given quickly and with low effort, making it great for spells/manifestations/etc requiring less charge to work. Although, unless you want to leave your whole body thoroughly drained, it's not recommended to use energy alone for a bigger spell, or bigger ask.

☆Other ways to give☆

Offerings 🎁✨♡☆

You don't have to worship a deity to leave offerings! You can simply offer it up to the universe, mother nature, animals, or something that relates to the work you're doing. The item should have value to you, or have taken effort and work to create. A few examples would be:

Leave milk and honey on your altar or pour it into the soil

Leave bird seed/food for birds 🐦

Throw native flower seeds In sparse areas for the bees 🐝

If you garden, offer your first and last harvest

Lighting candles

Throw things into fire (herbs, grains, flowers)

Incense

Compost

Actions of service (healing rituals for earth, rituals for worship, etc.)

Designating a seed/baby plant for a specific spell and caring for it long term

Caring for yourself and stick to it, acknowledge and appreciate the gift that is your body

Sex

Bl**d from your monthly cycle

A note:

If doing work for deity, research some common offerings or things they enjoy, as they have rather specific tastes and not everything can be an offering for them. (You could accidentally offend them)

Sacrifice💌🙇🏽‍♀️

Okay before you freak out thinking we're gonna harm someone or something, realize that's not the only kind of sacrifice you can make. It means giving up something you absolutely cherish and really wouldn't casually let go.. It's definitely great for charging up powerful spells. A few forms of sacrifice are:

Donating your favorite clothes to a woman/mens shelter

Giving away prized positions

Selling important items, like beautiful crystals or jewelery

Giving away half your food to those who need it

Giving up technology or 1st world luxuries for a week or amount of time you choose

Giving up bad habits

Cutting off bad friends/sources of bad energy

Giving away extra of anything, only Keeping what you need

Giving up negative attitudes towards people

A few more (extreme) sacrifices that could be unhealthy to a certain extent and you should be cautious of:

Emotions such as happiness, anger, sadness, gratitude, etc.

Life Energy

State of health physical or mental

Life necessities

Time

Relationships

Responsibilities

Commitments

Things to beware of

Always always always make sure you know what you are offering or sacrificing, because sometimes you can give up something you didn't mean to give away...

Try to make sure you aren't giving up too much or too little, as it might have an impact in your craft. Try to weigh the value of what you wish the outcome to be, and offer something of the same value.

Have a wonderful day my love! ♡☆

When you first begin pursuing the craft, there is such an immense amount of topics to sort through. You may ask yourself: where do I begin? My answer to you is protection. Protection is the basis for many aspects of the craft and is an essential tool to ensure not only your personal safety, but the safety of your space and others. Protection is especially important if you intend to work with deities, entities, or spirits. (Note: You do not have to work with deities, entities, or spirits if you don't wish to. Your practice is your practice, and witchcraft is not a religion.)

If you are ever feel spiritually uncomfortable (that something is "off" but you can't explain it, for example, and you have ruled out mundane causes), please start with protection. Don't panic and resort to thinking that you have been a victim of baneful magic (jinxes, hexes, curses) or think you cannot remedy this by yourself. Additionally, don't fall for scams by some witches or practitioners who ask for payment to help you with your situation. Baneful magic is a very real possibility, but always begin with smaller measures and work upwards as needed. If you are ready to begin casting spells, protection spells are recommended as they are personally-oriented and relatively simple to work with.

Overall, protection practices do not need to be complicated rituals with dozens of tools, steps, and ingredients. As long as you focus on the intent behind your action, it will work. Trust yourself!

Finally, never use a method of protection you haven't researched or does not feel right.

I sincerely hope this helps you!
