THE BASICS OF LEARNING MAGIC

If you want to learn magic but aren't sure where to start, this post will cover what I consider to be the basics of what you should research.

Eventually, most or all of these will be links to posts we make, this is still a work in progress!

Some of these things are considered essential, while others are more optional. I have put things fundamental for safety at the top of the list, as they should be researched first.

This list may be updated as I think of more to add, but I consider this a good starting point for now.

The spring equinox approaches, and Persephone is returning to the earth. She has spent the winter under slumbering earth, caring to the bones and spirits buried within. And now she returns, and the life on earth rejoices. The frogs and bugs have woken up with her. The birds have returned, singing their hymns to her. The great cycle, Oroboros, begins once more.

And we welcome our lady of flowers, our goddess of spring, to earth again, as she bids farewell to her husband, and brings along warm weather and green colors to her beloved mother.
