A Practical Tip for the Beginner Witch

Doing research – reading online or books, looking up videos, saving things on Tumblr – is absolutely great. Immerse yourself into it, study it, learn and let your psyche be awakened by your potential. But there’s a time when you gotta push past study and start practicing the craft. 

What I recommend: attain one of those bulky, multimedia 100 page sketchbooks from the dollar store and start writing things down. This is a practice guild book (grimoire, bos) so it doesn’t have to be neat. 

Go through your research and start writing things down. Try your hardest to break from the idea that it has to be neat, it doesn’t – it’s a PRACTICE guild book. Do it unfiltered, unrated and allow yourself to have absolute free range.

Here are some things your could focus on:

practice designing charts (natal chart, zodiac, moon phases, etc.)

practice diagrams (chakras, auroras, sigil making, palmistry)

design informational lists (tarot and runes reference sections, tea leaf reading, crystal and herbs correspondences)

write down some spells, intents, and/or rituals you’ve come across that you resonate with

practice sigil making by doodling along the sides and edges of your pages

list/sketch out altar ideas or deities

design or jot down some spreads for rune stones, tarot and/or oracle cards

pendulum boards 

design your own tarot or oracle cards!!

practice with different mediums (watercolor, acrylic paint, berry juice, markers, home-made egg tempera, stitch, candle wax, ink and quill)

Anything and Everything

This is to help you finally get things rolling with your craft. Studying is great but you gotta start! Don’t let the fear of mediocrity from your PERSONAL guild book keep you from starting witchcraft. 

After you’ve gained enough confidence then you can start going through the pages and seeing what needs work or what is ready to go into your official guild book notebook. Which doesn’t mean your sketchbook can’t be your official guild book, if that’s what your want. 

Get out there and make some magic, you crazy witches!

New to Witchcraft

Does anyone know any good books/resources for herbs, crystals, altars, etc? I'm still studying and taking notes about witchcraft and have only tried a few basic sigils. Any help is appreciated!
