Heck I didn't know you were into witchcraft too! Do you have any tips for a beginning witch?

ah sure!! theyre gonna b under the cut because this is really long oops

-mm dont worry about getting all the stuff like herbs, gems, candles, jars, wands ect. spoken word spells work just fine!! and not alot of things like that are REQUIRED like. if you find a spell that requires a whole lot of things you can cut things out of it real easy.

-you can find SO many spells online like. oh gosh. and make a grimoire or book of shadows from a normal notebook or journal. i find those terms get thrown around alot but a grimoire is just a book you keep all your spells and rituals in tbh.

-little jars for spell jars can be found in hobby lobby for pretty cheap!! make sure you seal them tight with hot glue or wax if you dont plan on opening them again and keep them safe if youre not gonna seal them. you dont want salt and basil all over the carpet.

-if youre gonna get gems dont go crazy, gems can be rlly expensive (even though theyre SO pretty and i want all of them) just get a few essential/common ones (quartz and rose quartz i find crop up alot) AND MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT GEMS ARENT WATER SOULABLE!! and what gems cant be left in the sun

-follow the moon cycle online! and charge your stuff during the new moon or full moon. but you dont have to wait for that you can charge things in the sun or just at night (if youre gonna sun charge make sure your gems wont fade!)

-dont? eat herbs. if you get them at the store or pick wild flowers do NOT ingest them especially if you dont know what they are. They can be used in spell jars or in rituals but dont eat a whole ton even if they are edible

-you dont need a deity but if you want to worship one you should do some research!! deities like offerings from what i read.

-some of my first spells i made myself or came from these books so dont worry too much about spells. also i wouldnt do like 50 in a day but people saying you shouldnt do spells for little things are missing out a whole lot. just make sure to recharge and take care of yourself.

-tarot cards can be really expensive and tbh you can just make your own? from paper or cardboard they dont have to be super fancy!

-sigils are very helpful!! i suggest using them alot

-stay safe and avoid magic involving ghosts or entities unless you really know what youre doing. dark or black magic like cursing or otherwise is NOT INHERENTLY BAD!! theres nothing wrong with cursing those who have wronged you in my opinion. but if you curse, make sure they really deserve it dont curse like crazy

-its ok if you dont know what kind of witch you are yet (green witch, sea witch, ect) you can specialize in alot of things!! im a green witch but i still do alot of other things

lastly remember witchcraft doesnt have a select set of guidelines and youre not doing things “right” or “wrong” just do what feels good to you!!
