Welcome! This is the beginning of a little series I call “How to Witch”, addressed to you, if you are new to the path or even old in the game, but looking for new ways to connect, or just want to join in the conversation.
Im by no means an expert, I won’t ever try to force anyone to do anything, nor preach about “the one true way”. Frankly, I don’t believe there is one.
I’m not really big on advice anyway, I believe everyone holds their own truths and answers within them. That’s what makes life so interesting! What I’m attempting to do, is share my methods and tools, invite you to the conversation and learn and grow together with you.️ So pour yourself a cup of something you like and let’s begin.
As a beginner, what do you need to start your journey?
The only one fundamental thing you really need is your imagination This is the basis on which everything else grows, the doorway into your inner adventure. Imagination - In Magic Nation.
Your imagination can be fine tuned and focused, which’s what intention settings and eventually manifesting is all about.
This means that you can practice witchcraft or just explore this method of soul searching, no matter what your abilities are: mentally or physically, financially or environmentally. Don’t let anyone tell you that you have to be this or that to come to the craft -you don’t. You are already fully in your power, you just need to find your way to wield it.
That being said, there are a few things that I find really helpful. These things helps me build a bridge between the physical and metaphysical realms:
⭐️A Book of Shadows (any kind of notebook, I have several)
⭐️Physical representation of each element (Fire, Air, Earth , Water -and a representation of Spirit, I don’t have a physical object representing Spirit as I use “myself” instead)
⭐️A dedicated space, an armchair, a place in nature, your bed? I use a desk with a shelf above it.
⭐️ A collection of empty glass bottles and jars (any kind really, start collecting now, you’ll need them later on️)
In the next chapter of this series, I’ll share some ideas on how to obtain these magical items, and kickstart your practice!
