The basics of Beginning

Being a new witch is terrifying.

Some of us start early and don’t realize it until much later.

We where the little children that dug up worms and gathered flowers and collected nice rocks and that read to many books and didn’t belive a single word we read in the Bible (This last thing is a personal statement and experience). And then with sixteen, eighteen, twenty, twenty-five we rediscover magic as a part of our lives.

Some of us don’t start untill we think that it is already to late to start with something new.

We have been doing the same practice for over a decade and it never felt quite right. We have a start-stop relationship with magic. We think it might just not be for us at all.

But now we want to start again from the very beginning and do it right this time.

Meybe you recognize yourself in those statements? Or meybe not.

Whether the above stated fits you down to the blood or not at all. A fact is that you want to be a witch.

You want to practice magic. You want to walk the crocked path. You want it with all your soul. Right?

When you are at this point of knowing that you want to be a witch but not knowing how to be a witch then the internet is your best friend and your worst enemy.

Everyone has their own opinion, their own instructions, their own rules. And none of them feel entirely right.

Don’t curse, curse all you like. Use crystals, use wands, use this, use that. Have an altar, have a garden, have a cat/toad/bird.

But few people ever tell you to start with what you have. To do what feels right for you. To use what is at hand.

Ask yourself: what do I have?

Can I practice openly?

Do I want an altar?

Do I care about any gods? Do I want to worship any gods?

Do I want to use … in my craft?

Is this really what I want to work with or who I want to work with?

Do I really believe this/that will work?

Ask yourself these questions and more! Question everything. Only use in your craft what feels right to you.

Write it down in your diary, your book of shadows, your grimoire, your whatever. Just write it down.

Write: This is awesome! I love it! It works so well for me! I’ll incorporate it into my craft from now on! Have to learn more! Research! Research! Research!

Or: That was terrible! Never again! Not my thing! Oh hell to the no! Nope! Nope! Nope!

Experiment. Fail. Try something else.

Be ready for the failure. Not everything is going to work for you. It doesn’t matter if it works for every other person on the planet, if it doesn’t work for you it doesn’t work for you.

Not everything is going to be available to you either.

You shouldn’t try to force your way into something that’s not meant to be for you. That doesn’t mean you have to be dense about it tho.

Knowledge is attainable. Talent or The Right to something is not.

(Be respectful please. Some aspects of a closed practice or religion should not be used unless you are a part of it)

Also be ready for the Argument™.

Some people will tell you that everything you do is wrong and that the only way to do it right is to do it their way or not at all.

This can be discouraging especially if you are just starting out.

Always remember that people that say things like that aren’t relevant or important.

They don’t want to help you, they just want to be right about something for once in their life.

The point of this post is to tell you that you don’t need a garden full of herbs if you can’t have one. That you don’t need a wand if you can’t make one. That you don’t need 30 different herbs or crystals if you can’t afford them. And that a pot will do just as good a job as any cauldron ever will.

Also:

My pointers for new witches as an overview

Work with what you have

Do what feels right

Use what feels right

Follow your own path

Be ready for failure

Be ready for the Argument ™

It’s never Your craft vs. Someone elses craft

Follow your star, or don’t

Your craft, your choice!

Now go out there and be a witch.

Are you still taking requests?

Yes! I always take request :D

[sigil-smith]

how do you make your sigils? sincerely, a baby boy witch looking to learn

Hey!! Welcome to the witch community! Its nice to see new folks around ^^

So, first and foremost, pretty much everyone who designs sigils does it differently. The way I do it is way different from how others might. There’s no ‘right way’ to make sigils! That said, heres my process-

1. First I break down the request to its base words. For this post, I’ll use a sigil i made a while back-

“I have good health”. The base words for this sigil were just ‘have good health’. Just take the base meaning of the idea you want represented in your sigil! 

2. Second, list every letter used in the three words. I use every letter once. It can get kinda long tbh, but *shrug*. For the example, the letters are h, a, v, e, g, o, d, l, and t!

3. Take the base shapes of the letters and find a way to put them all together. This step is a bit more intuitive than the others, I’m not entirely sure how to describe it. My suggestion is to do a couple sketches of it until you find one you like! Looking at my good health sigil, you can see….

All the letter shapes! I usually use the first letter as the base shape, and build the rest off of it. You can see the H lines sort of builds the foundation for where the rest of the letters go. A lot of the shapes overlap, as you can see in the mess that is the t-l-e bit!

4. Go over the sketch in a nice, uniform straight line. This is more for my personal tastes than anything else, its not mandatory!

Hope this can help ya out! Good luck out there ^^

[sigil-smith]

I'm traveling alone for the first time to go back home from university and I wanna get back safely and, try not to miss my flight. Can you please make a sigil that protects me and the plane? Thank you <3

Here you go! Travel safe, good luck! :D

[devotee-acheron]

I hate not being able to sense energies or spirits because all the big name witches are like “Oh today I sensed some really weird energy” and like what if I’m being fucked up and I don’t even know it? Or witches with spirit companions that tell stories about their dragon buddy. Or astral plane adventures. I can’t even visualize lmao. Everyone’s like “basic witch skills!@!!!!!! Visualization and energy work!!” Bitch??? Where

[strangesigils]

Hey, not everybody can sense energies and that’s totally okay m8 Visualization is basically daydreaming, and if you can’t do that then that’s okay too. Do your magic the way it works for you, don’t worry about other people’s paths

[petals-and-pemberley]

Lmao at “Bitch??? Where”

But srsly also ty @strangesigils because I’m only just starting and it’s all a bit crazy and I’m still working out what I’m drawn to atm so it’s nice for someone to openly state that you arent going to always be in tune with/a natural at certain ways of doing magic

[strangesigils]

I hope nobody starts to look down on me for this, but I’m going to bring it up because there’s a really good comparison to be made here.

I watch this show (anime) called ‘Soul Eater’, and in it, there’s a character named Black Star. **bear with me though, I haven’t watched in quite a while so some of my points might be slightly off**

Black Star can’t sense souls or soul wavelengths almost at all, even though most people with his position, or job, can to a certain extent, as they work with souls in the first place. HOWEVER this does not stop him from being arguably one of the most powerful miesters (which is what his job/position is) of his time for his age.

He was still able to master a soul attack that only a few people had the control to do. Despite the fact that he couldn’t sense souls or their wavelength he could use this attack to manipulate and neutralize said wavelengths.

AND 

During a battle in the domain of something called a ‘Kishin’, everbody was hallucinating because a Kishin has a powerful madness wavelength about their soul. BUT

Because Black Star has almost no 6th sense, and can’t detect souls or wavelengths, the madness wavelength didn’t have any effect on him until he got right up close to the Kishin itself.

So if this makes any sense to how you’re feeling about your lack of ability to sense energies or auras, take a note from Black Star. This won’t stop you from being powerful, and it may end up having some perks too.

Q&A: Why Isn't My Sigil Working?

“I’m very new to sigils, but after reading Frater UD’s Practical Sigil Magick I recently decided to make my first sigil. It said “MY WILL IS TO WIN THE TOP PRIZE ON A SCRATCHCARD TOMORROW.” I did everything the way the book explained, drawing and redrawing the letters until they looked strange, unique and magical. Then, I activated the sigil, ripping it up under running water.

“Today I purchased two scratchcards one in the morning, and one in the afternoon. I didn’t win a penny. I’m confused, because so many sources say sigil magick really works and fast and is the only magick most people get results.

“Did I do something wrong? Do you have any ideas why it didn’t work?”

-Anonymous

Let’s start with the traditional mystic’s answer to this question: If you believed it would work, why did you stop at three scratchcards? Why not help the “magick” along by buying more until you got the result you wanted? You asked for something terribly unlikely — winning the lottery — and yet you only gave it a mere three chances to happen. That’s almost the same as not buying a scratchcard at all, and hoping someone will just hand you the winning ticket.

That’s a nice, simple answer, isn’t it? It even has the ring of wisdom to it. But it’s not a satisfying answer.

So, let’s get real. It didn’t work because that’s not really what sigil magick is for. Sigil magic is more about focusing your intent than it is about shaping the world around you. Remove the occult trappings from sigil magick — the 18th century idea of the “will” being able to control all, or the arcane rituals for breathing life into a symbol — and what you’re left with is art, passion, and a statement of intent.

Those statements can be powerful. They can — and do — steer the course of entire lives. In the case of sigil magick, things that seem far too perfect to be coincidence often happen, but WHY and HOW they happen is an open question. Is it something truly supernatural? Or is it a tool for channeling the power of the subconscious mind, subtly steering the user toward uncanny connections, discovering the hidden obvious, or even providing a token of confidence to move in a new direction?

I come at sigilcraft from a chaos magick perspective. That tradition holds the view that belief is a tool. Maybe there are powerful arcane forces shaping the world, just beyond our view. Maybe not. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter. If believing in something — anything — creates real results, then it doesn’t really matter if it’s “magick” or “positive thinking.”

Do you want real results from your sigils? Here’s my advice: Forget the scratchcard.

Unless you just have some fetish for scraping silvery glue off cardboard with your spare change, it’s not the actual, real thing you want. It’s a means to an end, right? You want to have some money, I’d guess. Ultimately, it’s not even the money you want, but what that money would allow you to have or do.

It’s a lot harder to get the result you want if you try to force it to go through a single channel — like, say, only via a scratchcard — and on a specific schedule of “tomorrow.” Consider how many things you directly control or strongly influence that couldn’t happen on that schedule. I can’t even get my friends to agree on a place to meet for coffee with a week’s notice.

So if you really want to give this sigil magick thing a shot, I’d say dig down to the root of what you actually want. Be specific. Focus in on it. See it in your mind’s eye. Then write out that desire, make a fresh sigil for it, and activate it. Don’t get tripped up in the details of how you active it. Then, shake it all off. Finally, give it a little time. It’s a big ask for the world to change itself around you (or for you to change how you experience the world), and a little patience seems reasonable.

Will it work? Prepare to be surprised. In my experience, however, it’s also not much for generating the kind of instant, obvious effects you probably expect. It’s a subtle thing, almost imperceptible at first. But it builds. As I wrote in the Sigil Daily guide:

Buy The Ticket, Take The Ride: In the coming days, you’ll start to see little things that are eerily evocative of the sigil you activated. Don’t deny these. Don’t dismiss them, even if they seem minor. This is the process starting to work, bit by bit, to bring your intention into reality. The more open you are to these changes, the faster the magick will come into effect.

It’s important, however, to note that your decisions play a hugely important part in how effective the sigil will be. If your sigil is about meeting a new romantic partner, for instance, you might want to think about going out to a place where that could plausibly happen. Staying inside your home, with curtains drawn and lights out, not answering the door, is actively working against the thing you want. Don’t count on the sigil to do the work for you. You’ve already bought the ticket, now you have to take the ride.

I hope this helps. If you want some additional insight, check out the Sigil Daily page on sigil creation and activation here.

Best wishes,
