Welcome :D Go to 'general information' in the forums, and read the threads on "The Basics". You should learn them well before you start casting spells. Good luck! :D

This thread has been moved to Wicca from Introduce Yourself.

please, practice your basics before you do spells

make sure you have your basics down. meditation, energy manipulation, visulation, grounding, centering. practice those before you cast spells. read up on the history of wicca. basically, read read read read read. some cunningham would do some good :)

The usual, basics > spells. Read up on Wicca. Search through the forums and you will find some gold in it. Search through YouTube and you will find some there too. ^_^

Hi there, I’ve been practicing Wicca for a good many years now and one of the first questions that comes up is the one about where to start. My suggestion is always to start by doing some reading and studying to make certain that you understand what Wicca is really all about, and so that you can then decide whether this is truly the path that you want to follow. So with that in mind I thought I would offer some books and websites that are full of sound I information which can help you get started on your path.

To start with, here are some books that I would suggest.

"A Witch Alone" by Marian Green
"The Elements of Ritual" by Deborah Lipp
"Witchcrafting" by Phyllis Curott
"21st Century Wicca" by Jennifer Hunter
"Before You Cast a Spell" by Carl McColman
"When, Why...If" by Robin Wood
"Practical Pagan" by Dana Eilers
"Wicca; A Year and a Day" by Timothy Roderick

Hope this helps you get a good start on your studies. And feel free to ask me, or the others here on the board if you have any specific questions we can help you with.

Attack of the links. xD Thank you for sharing this Lark. :)

Try reading The Teen Witch By, Silver Ravenwolf. It's easy to understand, fun to read, and gives you a good view of the basics while also promoting the idea of free thought and belief. I read the version that came out in the 90's last year from my neighborhood Library. Wicca A Guide For The Solitary Practitioner By, Scott Cunningham is good. Another good one is Wicca A Further Guide For The Solitary Practitioner. All of these you can find at Half Price Books if they have one where you are. Hope this helps.
