My advice for baby witches!
Here is a ton of stuff I wish someone told me 7 years ago.
You do not have to be Wiccan.
You do not have to worship any deity.
You do not have to believe everything you read on the internet.
Witchcraft cannot bend the laws of physics or the material world.
Witchcraft cannot give you the ability to fly, change your eye color, change your species, etc.
There are many “fluffy” websites out there full of misinformation like the above point.
You do not need to have a fancy journal where you write your shit down.
You can do that with a computer or in a cheap notebook. But if you want to go all out, go ahead!
Witchcraft does not do all the work for you. If you cast a spell to get an A on a test, you best study too.
Do not let others shame you from doing what works for you.
This includes cursing. Please don’t shame others if they want to curse!
If you want to do dream work or astral work, start keeping a dream journal now.
You do not have to spend an arm and a leg for spell ingredients.
If you’re closeted, paper magic and energy magic are your friends.
If you’re going to curse, ground and cleanse before AND after.
Understand that every spirit/entity you meet might not be your friend and you may have to get rid of it.
Understand that learning anything takes time, be it spirit communication or tarot.
Do not give up on yourself.
It’s okay to take a break from the craft. I do that every so often.
You can be christian/any religion AND a witch.
Witchcraft is not a religion. Wicca is.
You don’t need to be religious if you don’t want to.
Feel free to add anything else and my askbox is always open if you have questions!
