heyy i've been going through your /tagged/witchy page bc i've been thinking of getting into it all but i know literally nothing about spells or anything besides a notion of the aesthetic so do you have any tips for beginners? also my family sells herbs so if u wanna know the symbolism/effect on humans of any of them i can let u know, bc i've seen that's a bit related to spells *finger guns*
Hey friend!I’m so sorry, I just got your message - I’ve been traveling and haven’t been near my laptop in days. Okay, so beginner things… as a semi-beginner/intermediate witch myself, my main thing would be research, research, research. Read everything you can get your hands on. Try out everything that seems interesting (but… like, lowkey, please don’t try to summon a spirit just yet, until you’re sure you can handle it). Try herbs, sigils, energy work, maybe wait on gods/spirit work but look into that if it seems interesting, just try ANYTHING that seems good. However, don’t worry about pigeonholing yourself - you don’t need to define yourself now, or ever, so don’t get stressed about ‘oh am I a tech witch because I like emoji spells and having an Evernote grimoire or am I a green witch because I like using herbs?“ like… just don’t worry about it.
TLDR research everything you can get your little witchy hands on, take lots of notes, try lots of stuff and see what sticks.
And that sounds great, I’ll definitely hit you up if I have any questions! Definitely there’s an element of herbalism in witchcraft, or there can be at least. Good luck!
