New Witch needs guidance

Merry meet all,

I am a new witch and need some guidance on this new path. I am just starting on this journey and still trying to navigate this path. I sometimes get lost in trying to figure out where to start. I have always felt at home in nature and am sensitive to changes with the seasons. Any guidance and teaching would be helpful. Thanks!

Hello and welcome.

I suggest exploring various covens to see which sounds interesting, as well as researching different types of paths and witchery such as kitchen witchcraft, herbalism, psychic vampirism, paganism, wicca, thelma, draconian, vodou, hoodoo, etc. There's so many to explore.

And remember your beliefs are yours you don't have to choose just one path. I for one am very skeptical to religious beliefs. I believe mainly in the universe, energy, and the astral plane.
