So, you wanna learn more about Witchcraft?
Here are some tips, tricks, and a list of resources/ideas on how to learn more about the craft.
One of the easiest ways of learning more about the craft is reading. There are TONS of books out there that’ll teach you anything and everything about witchcraft. From history to guides, there’s a book for it.
“But faceless witch blog!” You cry, “where can I get books from?”.
Fear not, fellow witch, for I the humble library helper is here.
Here are a few places you can find books about (or related to) the craft.
•libraries: holy grail materials. Usually, you’ll find a poster or what not that explains the dewy decimal system, or they have a physical or digital catalog you can search. Some examples of sections you might find things in are the Metaphysical section, religion section, and reference.
~Library Tip: if you wanna learn about the history, take it from my librarian. Books written in the 70s will have more information than books written in the 80s (they were more excepting of witchcraft in the 70s).
•book stores: you can go to any book store and find books about witchcraft. (Barnes and noble, half priced books, etc). You could just sit there and read the book without even buying it (no stealing, karma is a bitch y’all). Second hand shops are also great for finding cheap books about the craft.
~Tip: if you have a Barnes and Noble membership, USE IT TO DEATH. But if you don’t, consider investing in one. Half Priced Books will buy books off of you, and pay you CASH. Although, you do need to be 18 or have a photo ID to have your books purchased.
•online: ok so this ones not at all tricky, except at the moment it kinda is. Since Amazon is being boycotted by some, this might not be an option. But they do have a decent selection to choose from. Other places like EBay, Etsy, etc will also have books for sale.
~tip: COMPARE PRICES AND READ REVIEWS!!!!!!!! You might be able to find a book cheaper on another website. Reading reviews will also give you a better idea of the product.
“B-but faceless witch blog! I’m not out of the broom closet!! Or I’m a minor!!! Or there is another troll at the bridge!!! How will I learn now?!?!”
Fear not, small one (or tall one, I have no clue what you look like), I am here to help some more.
•incognito mode: ok, while this has been reserved to searching up weird questions about weird stuff and no no things, it can be useful to those who might have an accessible search history. Turn it on, and search for what ever you need. BUT always remember to turn it off after. If someone searches something after, they might be suspicious as to why incognito is on.
•podcasts: GUYS you have no clue how much you can learn from listening. It’s easy and discreet (and usually free). There are TONS of options to listen to!
•YouTube: again, lots of options. A few recommendations would be Harmony Nice, Aniias, etc. Harmony Nice has a series where she explains holidays, paths and practices. Aniias has some similar videos too (and they collabed that one time).
•right here: fam. If you’re reading this, that means you have a cornucopia of info in front of your face. Tumblr *cough* Hell *cough* has plenty of witches running a muck on here (me included). There are so many people here with info to be shared. BUT REMEMBER not everyone is sunshine’s and rainbows. Don’t let others tell you how to do your craft. Your path is personal, and while guidance is appreciated, don’t let someone control your path. And also remember, we don’t all have the answers. Don’t get upset if someone is unable to or refuses to answer your question. Be polite PLEASE.
•apps: there are tons of apps to choose from. These can be hidden on your phone fairly easy. But if your phone is checked frequently, this is probably not the safest bet.
🌱well, those are some of my thoughts. If you think of any, FEEL FREE TO ADD!!! I’d love to hear some of your thoughts and recommendations! If you have questions, don’t be shy! I’ll do my best to answer!🌱
