well, it all started when i was 10 years old and i searched it in the google bar... then i came to this site and read some of the stuff on here, but i didnt join untill last year. then in the 5th grade some of my other friends made a group at school to learn about magic, because my foaf (friend of a friend) said that she knows magic to.
I got interested in it because of a person I met on yahoo chat and started trying to learn on my own which I was discouraged from doing by my mum...she kept throwing out all my information...shs wasnt/isnt even religious so I still dont understand why but then I meta girl her name was Heaven we became like sisters...and her mother was pagan...i miss those days hanging at her house they were some of the best I had growing up
I guess as a younger child i had always been obsessed with magick. but not this kind of magick. the rp kind. i used to dress up as a fairy with my friends in elementery school ( i know... i little gay - not to be offensive but if you saw it, thats... the only way to describe it.) and i always was the FIRE child of my family. which is cool cause my twin is water. anyways. i have always been interested. so one day in 6th grade, i wanted more. and i wound up doing wicca for a year, scrapped that cause i wasnt one for religious commitment. and now im in highschool, 3 years later, and already summoning spirits. i guess i already have a connection to the magickal energies of the universe eh?
I discovered magic in around november, 2010. I was really tired with the limitations the christian/catholic religion had. So one day i told my 2 BFF's I was a witch. then, one of them (Ashley) got in touch with Professor Google and told me about the wiccan religion. (I pretended I knew all this stuff)Then she told me about this website, and I continued to study magic, even now I still do, even though Ashley doesn't.

I was brought up in a somewhat unusual household. Both my parents are Christian (my father Catholic, my mother Methodist). I was originally brought up in the Christian faith, but my father always encouraged a belief in dragons and pixies. I was always drawn to magic, the supernatural, and the paranormal from a young age. I used to pretend I was psychic or a witch. My biggest dream is to be a paranormal investigator. A lot of the books I read as a child were of the fantasy genre, so I had a lot of exposure to magic.
When I was about 12, I was visiting my great-aunt and I read a book on modern witchcraft and modern witches. I don't remember the title of the book, I just remember it was rather large, thin, and the cover was blue. But I remember being fascinated with the fact that there were actual witches. My great-aunt also gave me a book called The Lost Books of Merlyn. It was probably about here that I really started to take an interest in magic and witches, and from there, I pretended that I was a witch more than anything else.
During that same year, I found my first tarot deck in my basement. I ask my dad what it was, he told me it was a tarot deck and said if I wanted it, I could have it. Well, I did want it, so I took it. On my parents bookshelf (my mom and I frequently borrow books from each other) I found a book about Tarot and another book about Witchcraft and Black Magic. I took the Tarot book because I wanted to learn to use the cards. The book on Witchcraft and Black Magic I took because I was curious (I also found out that that book belonged to my dad's brother, who is now dead. My dad said his brother had an interest in this kind of stuff.)
It wasn't until I was in 11th grade that I was actually introduced to Wicca, by the only other girl in my Java class. During 11th grade, I really started questioning whether or not I could remain Christian because I was feeling that the religion wasn't right for me and I was searching for something that was. She told me about Wicca and recommended some books, which I read. I did additional research and found that Wicca/Paganism was the best route for me.
Since then, I've continued to read and learn, though most of my library is Tarot books. I'm trying to branch out more - I've started getting into Kitchen Witchcraft, as I love the kitchen and I love cooking.
Oh my. That happened to me too. I did a break up spell after which i felt very uneasy. Upon going to sleep i was aware that i may have started something i was prepared for. I woke from a dead sleep gasping for air and felt a huge weight on my chest. I stopped using majik then.
I discovered majik from my aunt. I found out she was a witch when i was around 8 yrs old. She told me stories of how majik worked and some spells she used. Some against people but mostly for daily living. She gave a woman hot feet. She conjured something of a beast that when she heard it walking up the steps outside her door sounding like hoof steps. Since then she practiced for the greater good. One incident i called her because i knew someone who was a non believer. Long story short he believes now. I have dabbled with candle majik for a bit. I did a breakup spell and well i didnt get the results i was looking for but i did get something i didnt bargain for so i stopped. Years later ive been finding i may be clairvoiant. I think im just open to human nature. I was also told i have a golden aura which is always present and is highlighted with another color. Purple mostly. So somewhere in the world of majik i am connected

when i got into a fight, I searched for magick about freezing him to death. (ahaha, revenge which is the most evil in magick brought me into magick, the irony) Then i tried many spells and most didn't work,i was losing hope when a spell actually work. It's a forget spell which erased the secret my brother knew which he uses against me. I think it worked because i was really serious about it, i don't want to be blackmailed again. I tried the other spells but they didn't work, because they are mostly "creating ice", Making my dog speak, weird latin spells, etc. Then I discovered the great forums, which gave me advises about the basics which i didn't do (meditation, grounding, visualizing, etc.) And now I can do simple spells like making me lack presence and now I knew those strange things i see at the far side of my eye are sometimes spirits. Now i'm trying to persuade one of my friend to join me here because I can see enthusiasm in her. I thank the forums for its nice, helpful and amazing forum, I thank those people who guided me in this path, I will do my best to help you when you're in trouble... To make it short I thank this site
