Thanks so much, i think your advice was good, i make a concious decission to be a witch, and say it out loud! i will do so, and feel that i should do this on a full moon when dark, and have my wand at the ready, so the divine knows this!! this answer came to me after i read your message, thanks blessed be :) u have realy helped me on this issue :)
When i am standing in my stone circle say with all my heart"i am a witch" i will think of u!
Thankyou marcus for your advice, very wise indeed for the keen aprentice that i am! I will start to make a magical book of shadows, and place information that i have learnt in there, hand made of course, that way i can go back and see all the lessons and information that i have learnt, hopefully i will start with this tomorw, as my mom makes hand made books, cards mini albums, so its something we can do together!
Blessed be brother and thankyou :)
Hello;
I am of a long bloodline of gypsy witches. I still have to study my year and a day. You still have to study how to control and direct your energy, the ritual of the circle, the Wiccan Rede, The Three Fold Rule, The 13 Virtues of a Witch, your Sacred Tools, bonding with your Sacred Tools, becoming confident in your regular meditation... etc and there is so much more before even considering casting. For a first spell I would not suggest a spell that would
affect anyone other than bring love , light and positive energy into your life. Be prepared for your first few spells to either not work or they can be weak; with practice, focus and the development of your intent come more successful and productive spell results. Blessed Be!
There is also some good advice in the "Articles" section of this site. It is near the bottom of the page and it is called "For Beginners" ( I may noy be exact), but it is a good article for you to read. When I first decided to come out of the broom closet and actually practice on the open officially; I wad given a great saying by a very good teacher. Now you have to uorgive me because I always get sayings mixed up but here it goes: "Claiming the name of witch or casting a spell does not a Witch make". Our personal conduct is Also extremely important as we are all in a sense ambassadors for all Witches when in public. If we want respect and public acceptance then we have to conduct ourselves in a way as such to be so; showing people we are not to be feared. It was something else I was taught. I wasn't just taught the elementariness but also how a Lady Witch is to carry herself in public which is where the 13 Virtues
of a Witch come in. : ) hope the advice helps. : D
