Things you think you have to do as a witch that you don't have to do.

You have to wait an x amount of time before you can do–

No. You don’t have to wait. There is no prerequisites for being accepted into witchcraft. You wanted to be a witch and now you’re a witch. End of story. Now, I would advice you work on meditating and protection because you’re just gonna need it on your journey, but to flat out say you’re not allowed to do anything else but protection and meditation for a disclosed amount of years or whatever, that’s ridiculous. Do what feel is calling you.

You shouldn’t hex or curse because–

You shouldn’t tell people how to work their damn craft. If they want to hex or curse you let them. Hell, a few practices see cursing and hexing as major part of their ancestors history. If you don’t want to curse/hex don’t. But you don’t get to tell me or anyone else what to do like that. So try again. 

You have to do the spell in this exact–

Absolutely not. No you don’t. It is your magic. Yours! You know your limits, your strengths and what you can do. The spell will adjust. Use what you can. Do not worry about doing it down to the letter. Yes there are main components to a spell but even they can be altered to what you have. It’s about intent! INTENT! Do not think for a moment that you have to bend over backwards to a spell “correctly”. That’s just how they did it and that’s okay. Just follow the main points, I assume you know common sense, and you should be fine.

Here's a more pragmatic approach to getting started in witchcraft:

Understand Your Intentions: Witchcraft is deeply rooted in intention. Start by identifying your reasons for wanting to explore witchcraft. Is it for self-improvement, healing, personal growth, or something else? Knowing your intentions will help guide your practice.

Learn About Various Practices: Witchcraft is incredibly diverse, with numerous traditions and practices. Research different aspects of witchcraft, including herbalism, crystal work, meditation, and symbolism. This will allow you to choose the aspects that resonate most with you.

Focus on Self-Discovery: Witchcraft is often a journey of self-discovery. Embrace practices that help you understand yourself better. This might involve journaling, meditation, or working with self-reflective tools like Oracle cards or even psychology-based cards for wisdom, learning and introspection rather than interpretation or meaning.

Embrace Practical Tools: Rather than focusing solely on magical tools, consider practical tools that align with your intentions. For example, if you want to enhance your mental well-being, explore mindfulness techniques or cognitive-behavioral tools. Self-empowerment does not have to be a "mystical" thing,

Explore Symbolism: Symbolism plays a significant role in witchcraft. You can incorporate symbols into your daily life to help reinforce your intentions. For example, wearing specific colors or jewelry that symbolize your goals can be meaningful.

Work with Crystals: Crystals are versatile tools that can be used in various ways, even without traditional spells or rituals. You can carry crystals with you, place them in your environment, or use them for self-reflection and intention setting, or reminders of what resonates with you.

Focus on Mindfulness: Developing mindfulness is a powerful practice in witchcraft. Being present in the moment, practicing gratitude, and connecting with nature can all enhance your craft and personal well-being.

Build Your Own Practice: Witchcraft is highly personal. Don't feel pressured to conform to specific traditions or practices. Instead, build your own unique practice that aligns with your values and goals.

Be Skeptical: Maintain a healthy level of skepticism and critical thinking. Question and analyze what you encounter in the world of witchcraft to ensure it aligns with your pragmatic and self-empowered approach.

By taking this pragmatic approach, you can create a meaningful and self-empowering witchcraft practice that is grounded in reality and tailored to your specific needs. This guide encourages you to explore, question, and create a path that resonates with you.
