Basics of Witchcraft

Sources

How to find reliable sources and knowledge! Some tips and tricks !

1. When researching online use terms like “magick” and “witchcraft” or “the craft” not just “magic”

2. Always cross reference, factual information will be shared multiple times by different people

3. Check authors, are they actually witches? How long have they been practicing? Are they apart of your religion/belief group?

4. Trust your intuition and be realistic just because someone is saying a spell works in 5 minutes doesn’t mean it will

5. When buying books read into the authors about me, where dotheir beliefs stem from? What practice are they apart of? etc.

6. Be mindful of where your information is being sourced, Wikipedia? Wiccapedia? Reddit? .com sites? .edu sites? Take everything with a grain of salt
