Witchcraft 101: Where to Begin 🌙✨

So… you’ve felt the pull. Maybe it was the shiver down your spine when you stepped into the woods. The way candlelight seems to speak in a language only your heart understands. Or perhaps you’ve always known — deep down — that there is more to the world than what we can see.


Welcome, seeker. This is where your path begins. 💚


1.Start with Intention

Witchcraft isn’t about how many tools you own or how many spells you can memorise — it’s about your why.

Ask yourself:


  • What draws me to this path?

  • Do I want to work with nature, with energy, with spirit — or all three?

  • Am I seeking healing, empowerment, guidance, or connection?


Write your thoughts down. Your intention will be your compass.


2.Learn the Foundations

Every witch’s practice is unique, but it helps to understand the basics:


  • The Moon 🌕 — Her phases are like tides, guiding spells, emotions, and cycles of life.

  • The Elements 🌬️🔥💧🌍 — Air, Fire, Water, and Earth each bring their own energies.

  • Correspondences — Colours, herbs, crystals, and symbols all carry meanings you can weave into your work.


Start small — you don’t need to master it all at once.


3.Connect with Nature

Even if you live in a city, you can still form a bond with the natural world:


  • Sit quietly outside and notice the shift in the wind.

  • Collect fallen leaves, stones, or feathers.

  • Learn the names of the plants that grow near you.


This connection will deepen your magic more than any shop-bought tool.


4.Build a Simple Practice

You don’t need a grand altar to begin — a candle, a notebook, and your focused mind are enough.

Ideas for daily or weekly practices:


  • Lighting a candle and setting an intention for the day.

  • Pulling one Tarot or Oracle card for guidance.

  • Keeping a journal of your dreams, signs, and synchronicities.


5.Listen to Your Own Magic

It’s easy to get lost in books, videos, and other people’s advice. Remember — you are your own greatest teacher.

Your intuition will tell you when a ritual feels right, when a crystal hums in your palm, when a sign is meant for you.


A Final Word 🌿

Witchcraft isn’t a race, and there’s no single right way to walk the path. Go gently. Trust your instincts. Let your magic unfold in its own time.


And most importantly… enjoy the journey.

The world has been waiting for you. Bless be brothers and sisters always believe in yourself💚
