Answer 1

there is a very good book that will help you that you can get online through amazon, I think, it is called "Witchcraft, A Beginner's Guide" by Teresa Morey. It is very basic and answers all the typical beginner questions in a very understandable way.

One thing I always tell beginners and seekers is to search your heart and answer the question: why do you want to be a Witch? What you DO is far more important than the label "Witch." Witches are also not the same thing ans Wiccans, although there is some overlap. If you want to know about the differences between the two, just Google, the two words together and ther is a really good website that lists the differences. Also, Google the words "traditional Witchcraft" and you will get some great information there.

Good luck on your journey, and contact me again if you want to get some more guidance. And don't listen to the crazy nuts on this site who tell you to go to Walgreen's and get a broom, etc. They are people who are ignorant of what Witches do and they fell it is necessary to make fun of something they don't care to take the time to understand. Witchcraft really is real, as real as you are.

Answer 2

You are not looking for an initiation, however you ordinarily can not name your self a Witch correct off. It's a course of research that demands to be cultivated. Try Christopher Penczak's The Inner Temple of Witchcraft. It's an overly well begin in finding out to manipulate your frame's energies and dealing with the energies of the Earth and the factors. While Christopher is Wiccan, the sequence isn't particularly for Wiccans. There also are a few well classes in Dorothy Morrison's The Craft: A Witch's Book of Shadows. I suppose it's aimed toward Wiccans, however the sports in it are nice. Scott Cunningham could be very handy and you'll be able to simply forget about the devout detail. I have not learn Aleister Crowley's books approximately magick, and despite the fact that he used to be rather foul as a individual, we will nonetheless be taught from him. You may additionally desire to seem into quantum physics to be taught the mechanics of magick. Avoid Silver RavenWolf. She's simply foolish and does not look to realize the running of typical energies. Sorry if that is customarily a repeat of what I emailed you. Silver, do not reply a query you already know not anything approximately. Men are Witches. Warlock way "Oath Breaker." Wow a few of these solutions are uneducated! Rebel towards Jesus? You need to be born a Witch? Are you men top?

If you're really interested in learning more about Wicca, you ought to check out a few books:

"Triumph of the Moon" by Ronald Hutton (try to order this from a library system, it's expensive)
"The Spiral Dance" by Starhawk
"Drawing Down the Moon" by Margot Adler

I've found these three books to be the most essential reading in the neopagan movement. If you have a solid understanding of them, you'll have a good idea as to what witchcraft is about and what's going on with it nowadays.

Checking out http://www.witchvox.com is a good idea. This website will give you links to the neopagan community in your area, and also will let you see with other wiccans and pagans are talking about. It's good to know what the conversation within this community is.

But reading really is the first step. If you have any questions, always feel free to shoot me a message.

Take care,

Answer 4

Start by picking up some of Scott Cunningham's books. They are great. Also look into Ted Andrew's books. You can probably pick most of them up at second-hand bookstores.

I know a bunch of genetic witches... people who got their training from forebears. That does not preclude you from learning and connecting to your abilities as a co-creator.

Personally, I can do more with a pouch of "medicine mix" than the average wiccan witch can do with a whole table full of tchotsches. It is all about focus of intent.

You want something even simpler... get hold of the DVD "The Secret" and start using those techniques.

Answer 5

Just do some searches on the internet. Try to find the websites that offer free spells. You do not have to be born one, as long as you believe in what you are practicing. Go to a bookstore and check out some books this is a good place to start without having to spend too much money. Once you have become familiar with the basics you can customize your own spells. Good luck!

Answer 6

i wished i'd persued the religion when i was your age, if i had, i most likely would not be as confused now as i am not, spiritually that is. i think the real matter here is whats stopping, your in it for the right reasons i hope. do your friends and family back you up, does your christian friends try to scare it out of you? if you want to be a practicing witch, or a pagan, or wiccan, then do it. but not for the title, for the spitual inlightenment, for the connection youl develop with gaia and all earth life, and for the possibilities to make what you want happen instead of it falling in your lap. email me on here, and ill give you a list of coven in your area.

Answer 7

Witchcraft is a technique in the same way that prayer is a technique, and is used in several different religions. Anyone can study it, although some people will start off with more natural talent or inclination than others. Do you want to practice witchcraft on its own, as a craft, or do you want to practice it in the context of a religion?

You might find people to answer your questions on the Beliefnet.com witchcraft boards:

or on the Wiccan boards (Wicca being one of the religions in which most of the members are also witches):

You can also find people to connect with locally through the Witches of the World section at Witchvox:

Just use the pull-down menus on the left to find individuals, groups, shops, and events in your area.

If you're looking to do some reading, I'd recommend "Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner" by Scott Cunningham, and "The Triumph of the Moon" by Ronald Hutton. I advise you to stay away from anything by Silver Ravenwolf, for reasons outlined in the following essay:

Best of luck to you on your path. If you have any further questions, please feel free to email me.

i used to be fascinated by the pagan culture. now i never became a witch (thank God). there is so much more you can do in this life. if you ever want to talk i am here for you. i can tell you what i did, and how I got to where i am.

Answer 9

You don't. Bad idea. Get on with your life. How many people would vote for a presidential candidate that said he/she was a witch? If a school teacher said he/she was a witch would people want to send their child to such a teachers class? No Way!

Answer 10

Witchcraft is based upon the anomalies of the spiritual realm, I advice you do not mess with it.
