Begginers Guide to Witchcraft - Part 1

13 tips and advice to starting your path in the craft ;3

Pick the one thing you like about the craft, the thing that fascinates you the most about witchcraft, and then start there.

Once you do that, eventually youll see how everything comes into play and interconnects with learning about the rest of the craft.

It may seem overwhleming but once you realize that you dont NEED all these crazy tools to cast, everything becomes clearer.

Casting is as easy as visualizing the outcome you want, saying a prayer/chant/incantation, or even tie knots on a cord.

Start with basic spells, rituals, and workings so that you grow your power, and learn basic correspondences to help you start.

Your power, scource of magick, or energy, comes directy from your SPIRIT, your lifeforce, your energy within you, use it wisely.

You may get so excited that youll want to cast like crazy and end up burning yourself out like a child discovering video games.

Remember to only cast when you need to, not whenever you want to or feel like it, youll run out of energy and will need to recharge.

Always remember to do your research about everything you learn, the more you learn about the craft, the more powerful you grow. Knowledge is power and the power of knowledge is limitless.

Never take more than what is needed, ie casting an insane amount of wealth spells. If you tip the scales, you will reap its consequence.

Do not cast love spells, nor break up spells, you do not toy with peoples lives, nor do you influence their fate for any reason.

Do not curse, hex, or jinx UNLESS THE TARGET IS DESERVING OF IT, do not cast them as a joke for the consequences of such are much more disasterous than toying with peoples lives.

With all that said, remember that the craft is a practice, not a religion like wicca, religion has nothing to do with the craft unless you personally tie into the craft, its a spritual practice that was used by our ancestors way before the church existed.

The term witch is gender-neutral by the way, anyone of any sex or gender can be a witch. The term witch is an umbrella term that can mean any number of things about the practicioner, ie being a shaman, priestess, seer, etc. ;3 Thank You so much for reading.

Feed them energy: Dont set it and forget it. Add a candle- when you light it, it feeds the bowl energy.

If its doing well, add onto it: Dont cleanse away abundant energy

Add in symbols of money and physical money

PERSONAL Favorite Money Ingredients: Chamomile, Celery Seeds, Pine Cones, Rice, Alfalfa, Cat's Claw, Ginger Root, Oranges, Vervain, Keys (open doors for you), Pumpkin Seeds

Ask a spirit if theyre willing to help with your money bowl: Give them offerings specifically tied to you getting more money

Have a Routine/Schedule with it: Rework it on the 1st of the month or Thursdays. Both are connected to abundance.

Mindful Bath Rituals 💆‍♀️ ✨

Hello darlings 🥰

Taking a soothing bath is not only a way to cleanse your body but also an opportunity to nourish your mind, uplift your spirit, and promote overall well-being. Here is how you can create a sacred and enchanting bath experience:

🛁 Prepare your sacred space by clearing any clutter and setting up a calm and peaceful atmosphere in your bathroom. Dim the lights, light some candles, and play soft, soothing music to create a tranquil ambiance.

🌿 Infuse your bathwater with the magic of nature. Add dried herbs like lavender, rosemary, or chamomile to a muslin bag and immerse it in the warm water. These herbs have calming properties and can promote relaxation and stress relief.

🔮 Enhance the energy of your bath with the power of crystals. Place a few crystals known for their soothing and healing energies around the edge of your bathtub. Amethyst, rose quartz, and clear quartz are excellent choices for promoting peace, self-love, and clarity.

📖 Set intentions for your bath ritual. Before stepping into the water, take a moment to connect with your inner self and state your intentions for this sacred self-care time. You can affirm words of self-love, healing, or gratitude, allowing the water to carry your intentions throughout your body.

🌹 Incorporate essential oils into your bath for a sensory experience. Choose oils like lavender, ylang-ylang, or bergamot, known for their relaxing and uplifting properties. Add a few drops to your bathwater or use a diffuser to fill the air with their delightful aroma.

🕯️ Engage in mindful reflection while you soak in the bath. Allow yourself to be fully present in the moment, focusing on the sensations, scents, and sounds surrounding you. Use this time to release any tension or worries and embrace a sense of peace and serenity.

💫 When you're ready to leave the bath, take a moment to express gratitude for this rejuvenating experience. Embrace the feeling of renewal and carry it with you as you step out into the world, ready to embrace the magic that lies ahead.

How to Be a Witch or Pagan Without Falling for Conspiracy Theories and New Age Cult Stuff

Witchcraft and paganism offer beautiful, empowering ways to connect with the world, the divine, and yourself. But let’s be real: the spiritual community can sometimes feel like navigating a metaphysical minefield. From “lizard people control the world” conspiracies to the pervasive influence of New Age cults, finding your way as a witch or pagan can feel daunting. So, how can you embrace this path while keeping your wits about you? Let’s dive into it—no tinfoil hats required.

---

1. Know Thyself and Do Thy Research

One of the most powerful tools for any witch or pagan is knowledge. Before diving headfirst into spiritual practices or belief systems, ask yourself:

What am I looking for in my path?

What resonates with me spiritually and ethically?

How can I learn more from credible sources?

Avoid treating every book, blog, or TikTok video as gospel truth. Instead, prioritize research from reputable authors and scholars. Look for historical, cultural, and anthropological contexts behind practices and beliefs. For example, if you’re exploring Norse paganism, read the Poetic Edda, but also check out scholarly works like Hilda Ellis Davidson’s writings.

💡 Pro Tip: If something sounds too fantastical or claims to have “secret knowledge,” approach it critically. “Ancient Lemurians built the pyramids” is not archaeology—it’s a conspiracy theory.

---

2. Critical Thinking: Your New Familiar

While spirituality embraces the unseen and mysterious, it doesn’t mean suspending all logic. Here’s how to keep critical thinking in your witchy toolkit:

Fact-Check Everything: Whether it’s a viral claim about moon water curing all ailments or a new trend like “quantum jumping,” take a moment to verify its origins.

Ask Questions: Who benefits from spreading this belief? Are there ulterior motives, such as selling courses, books, or products?

Beware the “Cult of Personality”: Be wary of influencers or leaders who discourage dissent or demand unquestioning loyalty. Spirituality thrives on diversity of thought.

---

3. Beware of Spiritual Bypassing

Some New Age ideas encourage bypassing real-world issues in favor of “high vibes only.” While positivity is great, ignoring trauma, systemic problems, or mental health struggles in the name of spirituality is toxic. True witchcraft and paganism embrace balance, acknowledging both the light and the shadow.

✋ Red Flag: Anyone who tells you to “just manifest” your way out of hardship or suggests that you’re attracting negativity because of bad energy. Life is more complex than that.

---

4. Stay Grounded in History, Not Appropriation

A common pitfall in modern paganism and witchcraft is cultural appropriation masquerading as spirituality. Using sacred practices or symbols from cultures you’re not part of without understanding their context can be harmful.

If you’re drawn to a practice, research its origins and ensure you’re honoring it respectfully.

Consider focusing on traditions tied to your own ancestry or exploring paths open to everyone, like modern witchcraft.

🌿 Example: Smudging is a specific Indigenous practice. Instead of co-opting it, explore alternative smoke-cleansing methods with herbs like rosemary or lavender.

---

5. Cult Warning Signs: Spot Them Early

Not all cults look like Hollywood’s hooded figures chanting in candlelit basements. In spirituality, cult-like behavior often hides under the guise of community.

Red Flags Include:

An authoritarian leader or group demanding absolute loyalty.

Isolation from family, friends, or outside perspectives.

Fear-based control tactics, like threatening spiritual punishment for leaving.

Heavy financial exploitation (e.g., expensive courses or “required” donations).

💡 Remember: True spiritual communities empower you to think for yourself, not rely on a single leader or system.

---

6. Separate Science from Spirituality

You can be a witch or pagan and still respect science. Magic doesn’t have to contradict reality—it works alongside it. For example:

Herbs like chamomile and valerian have scientifically proven calming properties, but that doesn’t mean they’re a cure-all.

Astrology can provide insight into your personality, but it’s not a substitute for therapy or medical advice.

🌙 Balance: Use spirituality as a tool for meaning and connection, not as a replacement for critical thinking or evidence-based practices.

---

7. Build Your Own Practice

You don’t need to follow every trend or adopt someone else’s path. Witchcraft and paganism are deeply personal journeys. Create a practice that aligns with your values and beliefs, free from the noise of conspiracy theories or cult-like pressures.

Ideas for Starting Out:

Learn about local folklore or the natural cycles in your area.

Experiment with simple rituals, like lighting a candle with intention or journaling under the moon.

Create an altar with objects that resonate with you—crystals, photos, or even trinkets that make you smile.

🌟 Most Importantly: Trust your intuition. If something doesn’t feel right, it’s okay to say “no, thanks.”

---

8. Community: Seek Connection, Not Control

Connecting with other witches and pagans can be enriching—but choose your circles wisely. Look for communities that:

Encourage discussion and critical thought.

Respect individual paths and practices.

Avoid fear-mongering or elitism.

👀 Where to Look: Online forums, book clubs, or open public rituals are great starting points. Just remember to maintain healthy boundaries.

---

9. Grounding Techniques to Avoid Falling for the “Woo Woo”

When exploring spirituality, it’s easy to get carried away. Grounding yourself regularly can help you stay centered:

Meditate or practice mindful breathing.

Spend time in nature, whether it’s a park or your backyard.

Write down your beliefs and revisit them regularly. Are they still serving you?

---

10. Be Open-Minded, Not Gullible

It’s okay to explore the mystical and unknown, but there’s a difference between curiosity and naivety. Stay open to new ideas, but don’t abandon discernment. Your path should feel empowering, not overwhelming or manipulative.

---

Final Thoughts

Witchcraft and paganism are all about connecting with nature, yourself, and the divine in ways that feel meaningful and authentic. By staying grounded, informed, and true to yourself, you can embrace this path without falling prey to conspiracy theories or cult-like traps.

Remember: You’re the captain of your own broomstick. Fly wisely.

DIY Protection Charm: Your Pocket-Sized Energy Shield 🔮✨

People acting weird? Energy feeling off? Protect your peace with this DIY protection charm. Easy, budget-friendly, and ACTUALLY WORKS. 🔮✨ Reblog if you’re making one tonight!

🚨 Retrogrades got people acting wild? Feeling drained at work, on the train, in the club, or just from scrolling social media? Baby, it’s time to armor up. A protection charm is your lowkey spiritual bodyguard—keeping weird vibes, bad energy, and negativity OUT while keeping YOU unshaken, untouched, and thriving.

✨ Why You NEED This During Retrogrades ✨

📉 People from the past creeping back in? (block & cleanse, bestie) 🌀 Overthinking & stuck in your head? (Retrogrades love to stir the pot) ⚡ Super self-critical or doubting yourself? (Be kind to yourself. This charm helps.) 🚫 Feeling energetically drained for no reason? (It’s giving spiritual leech. Let’s fix that.) 💨 Your social battery running on fumes? (Protect your peace, always.)

🔮 What You Need: Budget-Friendly & Bougie Options

You can find most of these items at your local crystal shop, a craft store like Michael’s or Walmart, or even your Dollar Tree. Be creative and make it your own!

🖤 Crystal Options (Pick One or More!):

💎 Black Tourmaline (absorbs negative energy like a sponge) 💎 Amethyst (blocks psychic attacks & stress) 💎 Clear Quartz (all-purpose protection & clarity booster) 💎 Obsidian (cuts off bad energy FAST) 🛍️ On a Budget? Use a smooth rock you find outside & charge it with intention!

🌿 Herb & Plant Options (Pick One!):

🍃 Bay Leaf (wards off negativity—write your intention on it!) 🌿 Rosemary (cleanses & protects, plus smells good!) 🌾 Lavender (calms & shields from stressy people) 🌱 *Salt (yes, salt!) (cheap, easy, absorbs bad energy) 🛍️ On a Budget? Use a dried leaf or even a sprig of grass with your intention set.

✍️ Sigil, Symbol, or Word (Personalize It!):

🔮 Write a protection sigil, your initials, or a phrase like:

“No bad vibes, no bad ties.”

“Shield ON, energy STRONG.”

“My peace is MINE.” 🛍️ On a Budget? Write it on a napkin, a dried leaf, or scratch it into wood with a toothpick.

✨ How to Make the Charm (Wearable & Portable!)

🎨 Make it a necklace, keychain, or even a hidden charm!

DIY Necklace or Keychain: Get a small charm bottle or locket from a craft store (Michael’s, Walmart, or an old thrifted locket). Add your chosen crystal, herb, and sigil inside. Wear it daily for protection.

Already Have a Necklace? Tie a small cloth bag with your charm inside to your existing chain or tuck a small paper sigil inside a locket.

Pocket Charm: Wrap your crystal & herb in a small cloth or paper and tuck it inside your bag or pocket. Easy & discreet!

💼 Where to Keep It (Choose What Works for You!):

🎒 In Your Bag or Pocket (Keep your protection close while on the go!) 👞 Inside Your Shoe (Use a bay leaf or small paper with a written intention to manifest protection, good luck, or to stop someone from messing with you. If it’s personal, write their name & date of birth, then circle it three times with a message like “back off” or “leave me alone.”) ��� In a Locket or Necklace (For the jewelry lovers—wear your protection with style!) 📱 Inside Your Phone Case (Tuck a small sigil or written intention behind your phone case—modern witches stay protected!) 💄 Inside a Lip Balm Tube (Clean out an old lip balm tube, place a tiny rolled-up sigil inside, and carry it everywhere!)

✨ How to Activate It: Quick & Easy

Hold your charm in your hands. Take a deep breath. Set your intention. (“I am protected. No bad vibes can touch me.”)

If you have smoke (incense, sage, or your fave scent) pass it through quickly for extra energy. (Your happy smoke can be part of your manifestation work, too! 🌿💨)

Kiss it, tap it, smack it, or just whisper, “It is done.” Or say something that feels right for YOU—“I know that’s right!” “Sealed & secured!” “Period.” Whatever hits.

✨ Retrogrades are wild, and 2025 is all about transformation—stay protected, stay grounded. If you need more tips, want a reading, or just wanna vibe, DM me! Let’s manifest and protect our peace together. 🔮💜

P.S. 💫 Anything can be a charm if you put intention into it. Your water bottle, your daily tea, that bracelet you never take off, even your car mirror charm—it’s all about the energy you feed into it. Wanna turn it into a real protection charm? Grab your herbs, your crystals, and take a sec to charge it up. Hold it, meditate over it, set your vibe. That’s it. Your routine is already a ritual—make it yours. 🔮✨💜
