do you have any tips on how to start studying witchcraft? i’m totally new and don’t know what to do:(
☁︎ 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐭
hi, lovely, thank you for asking! i wish you all the luck in the world in your studies. here are a few tips from me.
ideas for how to start studying:
read. when i first started studying witchcraft, tumblr was my only resource because i couldn’t really go out and buy witchy resource books. however, i have a solution for that. this is a link to a cite that allows you to download books for free. yes, it works and it’s safe. guests can download five books per 24 hours, but if you create a free account you can download more. they have lots of books on witchcraft on here—but not all of them. there are also some tumblr posts floating around that have free pdfs of witchy books as well, so keep an eye out for that.
watch youtube videos. there are lots of vloggers out there who make instructional videos on witchcraft, especially at the beginner level. they have videos on all sorts of topics—like things you should research as a baby witch, how to compile a grimoire/book of shadows, how to cast spells, etc.
know that everyone who shares how-tos about witchcraft is biased. yes, even me. what works for me may not work for you. and what works for you may not work for the most revered witch on youtube. that’s okay. you’re not doing anything wrong. follow your intuition and allow it to guide you. that’s the principle here on my blog. i prefer to post about diy witchcraft or do-it-yourself witchcraft, meaning i want to encourage witches to sit down and craft their own information rather than regurgitating someone else’s. however, that might not be your cup of tea. you might not have an issue with the consensus’s definition of magick, and that’s cool. just be sure, as you’re studying magick, you’re able to (1) recognize that you’re learning from one person’s experience and (2) discern whether or not those experiences will work for you.
write notes. anything that jumps out to you when you’re reading or watching videos you should write down. when you’re new, a lot of information will seem enticing, and you want to absorb it all like a big sponge. there’s nothing wrong with that. but, what makes it wrong is when you start to dread or feel uncomfortable by something. for me, personally, i never liked the idea of making my magick religious, and not for lack of trying! everyone and their grandmother on witchblr seemed pagan, so i thought something must be wrong with me if i’m not. i tried to worship deities, but i always felt stupid when i did it because i didn’t believe. i even tried incorporating christianity into witchcraft, but that didn’t feel right either. eventually, i decided i wouldn’t make my craft religious. it does make things frustrating when i’m reading a book, and it’s chock-full of wiccan rituals or pagan spells, but i’ll still read it because the book may cover a topic i’m interested in. tldr; feel comfortable in the idea of taking some information and leaving the rest.
rewrite your notes. the first time you write, i would recommend putting it in a cheap/old notebook where you can be as messy as you want. once you finish, go back, reread, cut out things you think you’ll never use, and rewrite your notes. (preferably in your own words, but i understand that can be difficult.) now, you can choose to rewrite these in your grimoire or a different notebook. doesn’t matter. what you’re doing here is teaching yourself discernment and critical thinking. when you start to cut things out, you’re narrowing it down to the types of magick you do want to practice. (of course, this can change over time, but it’s a good place to start.)
don’t wait to practice until you know everything. because that will literally never happen. there will be a point when you realize everyone teaching these baby witch tips is regurgitating the same information over and over again. that is the point (actually, it’s well past the point) that you need to close tumblr and start practicing. because, at that point, the only person you can learn from is yourself. in practicing your magick you can find out what really works for you, and what’s excessive. don’t feel guilty about cutting down your craft, it’s necessary. (another personal example: i don’t have an altar. I did at the beginning, but it became useless to me over time, so i cut it out of my craft.) start practicing the little things—such as grounding and cleansing—early on. it’s okay if you forget what to do or nothing happens, you’re learning.
use yourself as a resource. yup, i’m back on my diy witchcraft bullshit. i’m going to post about this soon, but you need to use yourself as a resource. you might be thinking, “nan, how the hell do i do that when i’m new?!” well, i’ll tell you. correspondences. there are hundreds of posts about them on tumblr—color correspondence, crystal correspondence, fabric correspondence, moon phase correspondence—are all meaningless if you disagree. see, the color red is commonly associated with love and lust, so witches stress to use a red candle when performing that type of magick. well, what if you think red represents creativity? then go with your meaning. wow, i know, that’s a radical thought, but seriously it personalizes your craft and brings you closer to it.
Shifting Log like #15 or something--Grand Conjunction
Methods: Mix of Raven and ADHD methods
Prep: Meditated, put manifestations under pillow, edited script
Success?: No, but I think I learned a lot!
Notes: Getting to the SATS (State Akin To Sleep) was surprisingly easy with the ADHD method (listening to 8D music)! I felt more symptoms than I would have alone. But unfortunately, I couldn’t fall asleep afterwards; I ended up rolling over and didn’t fall asleep for a few hours afterward. I think I should try shifting later at night when I feel I could fall asleep soon. I’m a little bit dissapointed cause it was the grand conjunction and I was so sure I was going to shift, but I mean there’s always the next day! The universe is going through a shift, so it should be a little bit easier; I just gotta keep my head up and try again! Today I think I’ll work more on my DRAS script, I have a few holes I gotta fix hehe
Buns method (my version mixed with other methods)
Requires:
- music (any that you really can imagine epic scenes and stirs emotions)
- counting to 100 (or more)
- Imagination
1. Put on music and visualise epic fighting scenes, cool moments that makes you want to shift.
2. Slowly count to 100 (and I mean SLOWLY)
3. Whatever you put in your script, let it fuel your imagination for your life in the desired reality.
4. As you feel symptoms, let it happen, relax and go over how your character looks like.
5. Settle into your DR body and affirm:
- I am consciously aware of my DR
- I am finally home
- I belong here in my DR
The main point to this method is emotions. So if visualizing is hard, imagine the feeling of your character. How powerful they are, confident. Just feel that freedom of being able to do things with your powers/abilities/skills.
It can be done as a sleep or awake method. For sleep method: affirm that you will awake in your DR.
Hi I have adhd and have such a hard time focusing on the raven method or even the julia method, what do you suggest?
hi! no problem!!
you don’t to follow a certain method to shift! methods are there to help you :)
here are some adhd friendly methods:
8d music method
adhd visualization method
remember that you are what makes you shift, nothing else! methods, subliminals, manifesting are just some boosts and guides to help you get to your DR :)
trust yourself, you will shift! I promise <3

Witchcraft for neuro-divergent folks!
Sometimes it’s hard to concentrate while doing stuff like meditating. Just remember that there are no hard and fast rules in witchcraft! (except the one about not appropriating other peoples cultures/beliefs)
So if you have attention issues and you can’t really concentrate on nothingness for meditation, just know that music is perfectly ok! Even if it’s whatever your own music taste may be :)
Witchcraft is about being in tune with yourself and your a surroundings, and if music helps, then go for it. And don’t forget, in witchcraft you affect the outcome more than any ritual can, so do what makes you feel secure, comfortable, and chill. The outcome will come to you if you just reach out your hand and allow it!
So take your time and do what feels right, feelings are a major player in witchcraft!
Reconnecting with your spirituality ✧̣̇˳·˖✶
Great for baby witches!
I gathered a few really simple rituals I do to reconnect with my spirituality after some time without practicing magic or when I feel like I lost my touch.
Firstly, it’s important to remember your place in the universe. If you’ve never taken some time to consider the nature around you, do that before trying anything else. Of course it’s ideal that you explore the nature that surrounds your home frequently, but it’s possible to connect with it while being someplace else. Ask yourself:
⭒ How do the seasons change where you live? Which changes can you see and feel throughout the year? How is it right now?
⭒ How does the moon influence you, in particular? Which phase of the moon is it today?
⭒ Which plants that are native to your region can you find around your neighborhood? Which ones are most abundant?
⭒ Which animals are native to your region? Do you see them around sometimes?
⭒ What’s the nearest body of water? In which direction is it located? How do you think it must be today? (The sea must be agitated because it’s a full moon, the river must be at high tide cause it rained, etc.)
Knowing the natural spaces around you is what forms the solid base you need to connect with nature on a larger scale. There’s some simple exercises that help you gradually build a relationship with the world around you, starting small and expanding as you gain experience:
To start 𓆸
Choose a plant or a rock that you’re already familiar with, like a house plant you may have. Approach it like it’s the first time you really see it. The purpose is to gain some form of intimacy with it. Pay attention to its appearance, texture and smell (and if it’s an edible plant, its taste), and to the sensations it gives you. After trying it with a plant or a rock you already know, move on to one you’ve never interacted with before.
Connecting with plants 𓆸
This method is used by a lot of witches to gather information about a plant’s energy based on their own energy. Different people may perceive the same plant differently cause each of us have our own, singular energy that’ll interact with it. That’s why gathering information from personal experience is so important. A herb that is said to help with something might affect you differently than it does to most witches, that’s normal. So:
❀ Choose a plant you’re already familiar with and touch it in a way that makes you comfortable.
❀ Close your eyes and imagine your palm glowing with light. Focus on how that feels. Some people say they feel their hand tingle or warm up at that. Either way, imagine your palm’s energy vibrating, into the plant.
❀ Visualize the plant is glowing as well, and that both your energies are connecting into one. When you feel you’ve achieved that, concentrate on how you feel. Is it an specific emotion or sensation? Do any thoughts or ideas pop into your head? It can be a pretty vague feeling, that’s okay; it’ll grow into something stronger and more defined as you work with it, if you decide to.
❀ When you feel you’ve observed enough, be thankful for the plant’s cooperation and visualize your energy separating from the one emanating from the plant and retrieving itself back into your palm as it stops glowing.
❀ Open your eyes and let go. You might want to shake your hand around as if you’re trying to dry it off after washing your hands; some witches do that to make sure they’ve really disconnected.
After trying it with a plant you’re familiar with, repeat the exercise with one you’ve never interacted with before.
Grounding 𓆸
Connecting with the earth helps you stay balanced. If you’re feeling anxious and all over the place, you can discharge that excess energy into the earth; if you’re feeling lethargic, the earth can energize you. To do that, you need to ground yourself. Some spells and rituals are so draining that you need to ground yourself beforehand so it doesn’t take too much of your energy. Here’s a simple grounding method I think pretty much every witch has used before:
❀ Take a deep breath, slowly, three times. Be aware of your own energy going through your body. You may close of eyes, if you want. Focus on your chest, and visualize a beam of light in its center. Imagine that’s your energy source.
❀ Visualize a branch growing from that center and reaching downwards, into the earth. Let it go beyond your body and touch the ground. I like to imagine that I’m a tree and that my roots are digging into the earth, and take a moment to appreciate how deep and strong they are, and how strong and stable that makes me.
❀ When you feel you’ve formed a connection, you can let your energy work with the earth, and let go of any excess that’s stressing you or receive what’s lacking.
Connecting with the elements 𓆸
There’s several ways to connect with the 4 elements, and a lot of witches renew their connection periodically with an exercise. For that, gather something to represent each element. For the element earth, use fresh dirt, salt, a rock or a crystal. For air, use an object that’ll make an air current; preferably a hand fan. For fire, a candle. For water, a small bowl of water will do. Touch each object, close your eyes, and visualize their energy connecting with yours. (Since you can’t touch fire, obviously, hold out your hand over the flame, from a safe distance where you can still feel the heat.) Do that for a minute or two, and try to put into words what you feel. Be sure to disconnect yourself from an element before connecting with the next one. What I said about the plants goes for the elements as well: different people may perceive them differently, which is why you need to gather information from personal experience, and build your own relationship with them.

Low Effort Magic 🌙
Pt. 2
Are you someone who plays minecraft? Animal Crossing? Something where you build and decorate stuff? Build a shrine or a park for your deities. This is mine that i built for Loki.
Take a nap to recharge and put a glass of water under your bed while sleeping. It will absorb all unwanted energy. Do not drink the water afterwards!
Play with your pet to let your inner child be a child (and also to make your pet happy)
Clay makes for a perfect fidget toy (in my opinion). Make small charms out if it to use in your spells or readings!
No energy for a spell? Dress up in the corresponding colors for what you want to achieve that day.
If you can keep them alive, get plants. They literally cleanse the air you're breathing, if that isn't the best low effort cleansing ever then i don't know what is.
Make your phones background a sigil. You'll automatically interact with it multiple times a day.
Write words on your plastic waterbottle to charge your water (e.g.: spiritual awareness, easy communication, love, good health, clear thoughts, etc). If you have a glass one, write the words on a paper and put the bottle on top of it for a few minutes.
Since part 1 was a success, I hope you like part 2 as well! :)
The Neverland/Sunrise Method
I did not create this method consciously so please keep that in mind, it kind of just happened and I got really close to shifting with it.
This method similar to @kd_mouse on tiktok’s ADHD method in the way that it has a variant for people with a mental illness. This method is mainly targeted to those with OCD but it can be used by everyone. Since I struggle with normal visualization because I tend to get interrupted by my obsessions I thought that I would create a method that has a safety feature for you to cope with obsessions should they arise.
This method is completely safe to be mixed with other methods.
1. Do whatever you usually do before shifting, whether that’s drinking lots of water, meditating, showering, etc. (I make shifting water)
2. Lie down in a comfortable position. It doesn’t have to be starfish but you’re welcome to do that.
3. Think of someone who you will wake up next to or near in your DR. That person can be in the same bed as you, the same room, the same house, the same neighborhood, or even the same city. Just someone who is in close proximity to you when you wake up.
4. Visualize that person grabbing your hand and leading you through the roof of wherever you are. If you’ve ever done astral exercises then it should be just like that. Do this part over and over again until you can really feel their hand.
5. Visualize them flying you to where you wake up in your DR. It helps if it is night when you visualize(even if it’s not currently night, it being night will be important later) As you are flying visualize your orself/original reality self morphing into your drself/desired reality self. The two of you are flying peter pan style(hence the name) whilst still holding hands. Focus on the feeling of their hand and the feeling of the(potential) wind around you because of your altitude.
6. As you fly visualize a barrier, mine is the Atlantic Ocean because we’re flying from West Coast U.S. to London. While you are flying over the barrier ask them where the two of you are going. They reply with some variant of “Home.”(This may change based on relationship and personality).
This is the part where my obsessions usually take over and I find it hard to visualize without them interrupting. But with the right counters we can overcome them.
7. Should OCD related things happen while crossing the barrier(Or during any other part of this method), close your eyes. Focus on what you feel instead of what you see. How does flying feel? How does it feel to be around such strong winds? Is it cold? How does the person from your DR’s hand feel? Is it warm to the touch or cold? What do you hear? Do you hear wind? Traffic? Ocean waves? Something entirely different?
If this doesn’t help I find it best to transition to a non-visualization method for a bit and then start over or pick up where you left off. Raven usually works for me in this situation.
8. Once you have crossed the barrier arrive at the the place where you wake up in your DR. I visualize flying over England until we make it to Suburban London but you can do whatever you like.
9. Now it’s time to go into the specific place where you wake up, If the person wakes somewhere else visualize them dropping you off and then flying away in the direction where they wake up. Visualize yourself climbing into the room where you wake up(through the window if there is one).
10. Climb into bed or wherever else you wake up in your DR. Before you close your eyes and go to sleep, look out through the window where you came. The sun is just beginning to rise over the trees, houses, mountaintops, skyscrapers, in the horizon. You’ve made it. Close your eyes and thank the universe for all it has gifted you tonight.
11. Sleep tight and wake up in your DR.
Recommended subliminals for this method:
improve visualization skills for shifting - lovegood subliminals
dr shifting subliminal - poseidonsubs (I like this one because I visualize a storm as I cross the Atlantic and it has both storm and sea sounds)
shifting subliminal booster - lovegood subliminals
strong shifting subliminal - lovegood subliminals
rain in forest at night - the relaxing town (This one isn’t a subliminal but I have it at the end of my playlist because I scripted to wake up a few hours after it stopped raining)
Shifting Water
This is a comment from @/mxrtisya on this subs video
Guys here’s a tip for shifting! Make shifting water. Basically I will use this sub as an example since I use it for my shifting water!
Here are the steps- You have shifted :) 1-get a cup of water and choose a sub 2-make sure to have a speaker or headphones 3-put the speaker under the water or dangle the headphones over the water 4-start the sub 5-let the water rest as the sub plays until the end of the sub 6-make sure for the VOLUME to be UP (recommended tip-play it for 30-1hr for better results, i have made shifting water it took 10 minutes no difference just if u charge more it will have better results) 7-After the sub is over, pick up the water and taste it. Does it taste sweet or thic? Maybe both? If yes, congrats u have energized ur water and have created shifting water! If no, try again u got it :) (Tip- I also recommend after making the water drink it will listening to the sub this time u actually r listening to it not making the water) What can you use this for?? Well, drinking this water will trying to shift will make u shift faster!
i mean i just call my water a sexy motherfucker before i drink it but this works too
ADKNSBDFEYqzfnbvWJEKFNBFNJFBHV-
LMAO
okay so i made the water
you were right it tastes sweet, i made OR detachment water with these two subs and it literally tastes like i’m drinking sugar water this is so cool
Reading candle flames and soot!
tall/strong flame: lots of energy; barriers coming down; quick, happy results are likely. small/steady flame: less energy (still good!); positive results likely/may be delayed. stay focused on your goals! small/weak flame: flickering and bending is generally a sign something is not working; timing may be off; asking for something unfavorable; if flame falters and dies, it's a sign your spell won't be granted at this time. high/dancing flame: possible chaotic energy; successful spell, possibly with some complications/other wills may be working against you. rapidly flickering: dims and brightens; spirits are present; usually indicates success and that your message was heard. blue flame: a sign of spiritual presence; higher spiritual beings have taken an interest in your spell; power added to the spell. popping and stuttering: noisy candles indicate that outside forces are present; communication w/spirits; can mean interference or sending a message to you/increase concentration on the spell. flame suddenly goes out: spell has been extinguished by outside forces; usually means spell did not work; sit and rethink/meditate longer. candle won't light: possible wick issue or this spell won't work for your purposes; the outcome is outside your control; try again after reconsidering your intention and cleansing/smudging your space. -- black pieces in wax: (unintentional) black debris signifies unintended consequences; more spell work may be required; karmic baggage/guilt. Try some cleaning up. black soot on glass: signals negative energy/interference. black soot on top of the jar only: negative opposition has likely been overcome. black soot entire/majority of jar: spell unsuccessful; may need to cleanse and repeat work another time. white soot on glass: rare, represents spiritual communication and assistance. candle forms tunnel/crater in middle: incomplete candle burns w/lots of leftover wax isn't a good sign; will/focus too weak; ineffective energy to complete the task; spell blocked. candle explodes/container breaks/cracks: dramatic endings in candle magick are a sign your spell has been stopped by a higher power and you shouldn't be doing that spell work; reconsider intention/spell.
wax left in the container: lots of wax left on the bottom or sides of the candle container can indicate blockages to the success of your spell; might need to cleanse space and try again.
Energy Ping Pong Time Baby!
You may be asking, what is energy ping pong? Well honestly it’s both very cool and incredibly tedious when you start out but the more experienced you get with it the more fun you can have. Energy ping pong is, at its core, a cooperative sensitivity exercise to get better at identifying and sending intent, emotions, and hostility that’s directed at you from spirits or other witches!
How to play
Energy ping pong is a game you play with 2 or more witches but we’ll be using 2 for this example. You can do this long distance or in the same room, either works, but for the example we’ll assume this is long distance
Establish a connection between you and your partner. You should have a firm connection via anchor before you start this! You can use a name, a picture, a physical tag if you have one (don’t give hair to strangers kiddos) whatever you need to send energy from one person to another.
Establish a theme for the game. Starting out you’ll want to agree on something simple. “Hostile vs Kind” “Elements” and “Basic emotions” are the three I recommend to beginners. The goal isn’t to confuse your friends. It’s to actually send anything at all which, when you start, can be hard to train with alone.
Send something! For this example we’ll assume hostile vs kind. Agree who goes first, and while the “sender” focuses on conveying one of the two intentions, the “catcher” focuses on trying to identify which was sent. If you wanna make it competitive every successful sending is a “point” and whoever has the most points wins. If you’re sending something hostile direct it towards the person but don’t actually try to do them harm. We’re not lookin for a spiritual assault charge here.
Have fun with it! This is about experimentation first and foremost. Especially when you start is can be frustrating. If you’re a baby witch you should be trying different methods of sending, either by imagining a telephone wire, throwing a ball, sonic waves, etc. whatever it takes to get it through. If you have more experience then this is the opportunity to mess around! “Yeah I sent you my contempt for the human flesh I reside in. How did you know?”
That’s the long and short of it! If you have any questions feel free to throw em at me!
i’m doing tarot pulls anyone have questions???
i’ll post a video response for each
