You know, as someone who loves doing research (I mean, I call myself a wizard because I love the research phase), I can't emphasize enough that sometimes you just have to start doing shit.
You can read as many Tarot 101 books as you want and can check out from the library or acquire otherwise, but you're not going to get a feel for the system until you start pulling cards. If you're scared of being wrong, just admit that you're nervous going in until you build up confidence in your skills.
You can analyze as many spells written by others as you'd like and make theoretical substitutions, but you're not going to get a feel for actually casting a spell until you cast one. Doesn't even have to be a spell you made.
You can fill entire notebooks with information on trees (staring in the mirror at myself), but that's not gonna do much to help you until you go and touch grass and actually do something with the tree. Like talking to it.
You're allowed to be afraid. You're even allowed to just be an armchair witch or whatever we're calling them this week. But sometimes it's fun to just do the thing.
