Begginers Guide to Witchcraft - Part 1
13 tips and advice to starting your path in the craft ;3
Pick the one thing you like about the craft, the thing that fascinates you the most about witchcraft, and then start there.
Once you do that, eventually youll see how everything comes into play and interconnects with learning about the rest of the craft.
It may seem overwhleming but once you realize that you dont NEED all these crazy tools to cast, everything becomes clearer.
Casting is as easy as visualizing the outcome you want, saying a prayer/chant/incantation, or even tie knots on a cord.
Start with basic spells, rituals, and workings so that you grow your power, and learn basic correspondences to help you start.
Your power, scource of magick, or energy, comes directy from your SPIRIT, your lifeforce, your energy within you, use it wisely.
You may get so excited that youll want to cast like crazy and end up burning yourself out like a child discovering video games.
Remember to only cast when you need to, not whenever you want to or feel like it, youll run out of energy and will need to recharge.
Always remember to do your research about everything you learn, the more you learn about the craft, the more powerful you grow. Knowledge is power and the power of knowledge is limitless.
Never take more than what is needed, ie casting an insane amount of wealth spells. If you tip the scales, you will reap its consequence.
Do not cast love spells, nor break up spells, you do not toy with peoples lives, nor do you influence their fate for any reason.
Do not curse, hex, or jinx UNLESS THE TARGET IS DESERVING OF IT, do not cast them as a joke for the consequences of such are much more disasterous than toying with peoples lives.
With all that said, remember that the craft is a practice, not a religion like wicca, religion has nothing to do with the craft unless you personally tie into the craft, its a spritual practice that was used by our ancestors way before the church existed.
The term witch is gender-neutral by the way, anyone of any sex or gender can be a witch. The term witch is an umbrella term that can mean any number of things about the practicioner, ie being a shaman, priestess, seer, etc. ;3 Thank You so much for reading.
Things what I have learnt as a baby witch
As a baby witch who has recently became more spiritually connected and grown as a pagan, i want to give out advice what I have learnt over the 2 years of doing witchcraft.
1) Don’t jump straight into the deep end
Never jump into the deep end by doing spell’s straight away, witchcraft isn’t some aesthetic cutesy thing, it can be serious, jumping into spells without having no idea what you are doing can be extremely dangerous.
Ideally, you want to ease yourself into it, by doing research, yes the word research can be daunting but it will help you in the long run. Research on what witchcraft is, get an overall understanding what its about, find out the pagans holidays, pagans new year, and so much more!
If you have no idea where to start I highly recommend buying this book - ‘Wicca For Beginners’ by Frank Bawdoe
The book explains the introduction of the basic Wiccan religion including Wiccan beliefs, a brief history of Wiccan Religion, and their traditions. How to practice Wiccan Religion, the benefits of witchcraft and so much more.
2) Never buy your own tarot deck
this is very important so please take note and to remember! Never! buy your own tarot card decks, in witchcraft, it is extremely bad luck for you to buy your own tarot decks. So always either get a family member or a friend to buy it for you.
3) Connect with your spirit guide and your tarot decks!
Importantly, I personally believe its very useful and helpful to connect with your spirit guide, the more you connect with them, the more you’ll know a lot about them and who they are in general.
You can do this through connecting with your tarot decks first and getting a special bond with them, you do this by
- Keeping the tarot decks on your desk when your studying, or reading a book
- Shuffling through the decks every day, you don’t even need to do a reading or to use them, just shuffle them. This way you’re putting your energy into the cards.
- Place the tarot decks under your bed when sleeping.
- Ask your spirit guide questions, like what are the tarot cards intentions, am i being protected. Things like that.
- Doing Tarot readings
Doing these things will help you bond with your decks and your spirits guides.
4) Never touch someone else’s Tarot decks
I’m highlighting this in red because this is a massive 101 rule in witchcraft is to never touch someone else’s deck unless they have gave you consent and permission. By breaking this rule, you are also disrespecting and breaking the person who owns the deck boundaries. Everyone’s tarot deck is very personal for them, its their personal business and item, they are spiritually connected and bounded with that deck. If you touch it, not only are you putting yourself through harm. But you’re also pissing off the person’s spirit guide and disrespecting them too. So don’t do it.
5) Things don’t have to be expensive!
When people think of witchcraft and hearing about crystals, herbs and books, they think “oh god this is going to be a lot of money” but in reality you don’t have to go out your way to buy really expensive things! I’m from the UK so i buy most of my books from a store called WHSmiths or Work entertainment. Work entertainment is best for spell jars which only cost £1 or a simple crystal shop which sells those £1.50 crystals!
6) Learn how to do protection spells before doing anything!
If you feel like you are ready to do spells but don’t know where to start or what to do, practice doing protection spells, protection spells is pretty self explanatory but it will protect you from any negative energy or spirit
7) What to do if you got a negative spirit/energy
You’ll know when you have a negative energy or spirit around you as your mood and your health will change, if you feel like your mental health has been a bit down for a while and you’re constantly feeling drained and tired. That means something is draining your energy.
So what do you do?
Do an egg cleanse spell! This will help you detect if someone has set a curse, negative spell or if theres negative energy around you.
By doing so, grab a glass cup and fill it up half way with water, adding salt to it is optional but i recommend doing it as salt is really good at protection. Grab an egg, place the egg on your head, with your hand you would want to move the egg counter clock wise around your body, start from the head, and move the egg down to your arms and legs, back round to the other side of your body. Do not let the egg leave the body.
After you’re done crack the egg into the cup and wait 5 minutes, if its all clear then you’re okay! but if the egg whites starts forming like spider cobwebs with bubbles between it, it means someone has set negative energy around you or a curse. If you see a triangle base shape in the cobwebs and a bubble on top. It means you have been hex with the evil eye. If theres also red or brown spots in the yolk it also means a banishing spell or a curse spell.
So you do a return sender, if you got any spices, add a f*ck ton of it in the cup, the more spices the better as that will f*ck whoever sent you the hex up. Grab the cup and pour everything down the toilet, look away while you flush the toilet. Once its flushed look at the bubbles, less the bubbles less of the negative energy. Sometimes you have to do this more than once.
8) Your spirit guides will show you the answers in different ways
One thing I’ve learnt is your spirit guide will show you the answers in different ways, if you want to know if you are protected, there will be signs, for example I personally believe if a a white feather falls in front of you or by you or if you even see a white feather it means you’re being protected by a angel/your spirit guide. So if you see a white feather it means you are protected by them, or if you see your spirit animal or if you know a dead relatives spirit animal and it starts to show up.
Sometimes the signs will be right in front of your face, example for me is: My spirit guide warned me about people being back stabbers and to watch out. After seeing that in a reading, i had my mother who im very spiritually connected with, call me up saying she had a dream about me being stabbed and she feels like it represented me being back stabbed and warned me who i hang out with.
Then my closest friend used my tarot deck which broke my boundaries, pissed off my spirit guide so she started to get headaches, neck pains, back pains and it got to the point she had to leave. When she tried approaching me the day after that, a white feather fell right by me, seconds later, she started to feel unwell and went back inside. I suddenly felt the sense of relief and happiness, and when i said to my self everything is okay, another white feather fell and it landed on my leg. That made me personally feel that it was my spirit guide confirming me and saying yes everything will be okay.
That’s all the advice i can think of at the moment but hopefully this has helps a lot of you small baby witches! just remember, if you ever feel burnt out or you start to do witchcraft but dont have the passion or get into it but still want to, thats okay! it takes time!
9) Know what you are doing when doing spells!! And do it when you are ready!
Another thing, i know i said previously doing research is key! but please know what you are doing when doing spells especially jar spells! Don’t do what I did, I thought I was ready to do spells, I tried doing a protection spell and I ended up summoning a trickster spirit who is still attached to me and can be a little pissbaby sometimes by moving my things around. But overall he also does protect me when need be so he can be good when he wants to be.
Also if you’d like to know what books I have, i have these! (the pictures below) these have helped me over the past 2 years with my journey so I highly recommend checking them out!
Good luck and i wish you all positive energy!
Energy Work
What is energy?
There are different definitions of energy depending on what you're talking about or who you talk to but in simple terms energy is what surrounds us. It is in everything living and nonliving. Energy can take on many different forms from elemental to emotional or even some believe in planetary energies.
in physics, energy is the quantitative property that is transferred to a body or to a physical system, recognizable in the performance of work and in the form of heat and light. the capacity for doing work. It may exist in potential, kinetic, thermal, electrical, chemical, nuclear, or other various forms. There are, moreover, heat and work i.e., energy in the process of transfer from one body to another. After it has been transferred, energy is always designated according to its nature. Hence, heat transferred may become thermal energy, while work done may manifest itself in the form of mechanical energy.—the law of conservation of energy states that energy can be converted in form, but not created or destroyed
What is energy work and how can I start?
Energy work is the practice of learning to feel the energy around you and how to work with it. It is important and fundamental to any spiritual practices.
Meditation
A simple meditation is a good start. Sit comfortably and relax your muscles. Breath in a count of four and breath out a count of eight. Do this until you have a clear mind. You can also practice counting from 1 to 100 to clear the mind. There are a few things you can do after.
Gathering and releasing energy
For this you can use visualization. Imagine gathering small bits of energy through a singular point on the body and releasing it back out.
You can also release emotional energy this way. Imagine that your releasing your emotions and transforming it into positive or usable energy. This is called transmuting energy.
Sit and imagine energy flowing from the earth to out the top of your head.
Sit and feel out the energy in the room. You can have a candle to practice feeling it's energy. Do be safe and put it on a table and far enough away you don't knock it over.
Psi ball/energy ball
Stand or sit comfortably. Relax. Hold your hands out in front of you, palms together. Close your eyes and visualize a small ball of light forming between your hands. Move your hands about an inch away from each other. Open your eyes and gently look at the space between your hands. Concentrate on that small ball of energy forming and feel the warmth. Push more energy through your hands and into the ball, feeding it and making it larger. Move your hands apart bit by bit.
Play around with this energy making it larger or smaller.
Regarding Chakras
Defining the word chakra
The Tantrik traditions, from which the concept derives, chakras (Sanskrit. cakra) are focal points for meditation within the human body. They are visualized as structures of energy resembling discs or flowers at those points where a number of nāḍīs (channels or meridians) converge. They tend to be located where human beings experience emotional and/or spiritual energy.
What is the chakra system?
There is no general agreement to how many chakras there are as the concept has evolved and been interpreted differently by various schools,sects, and spiritual traditions within Hinduism. Some traditions may follow the seven main chakras as described in Patanjali's Yoga Sutra, others may follow additional or a different number of chakras. There are so many different systems of chakras. The original purpose of chakras is to serve as a template for Nyāsa
The more common and most studied chakra system incorporates six major chakras along with a seventh center generally not regarded as a chakra. These points are arranged vertically along the channels. The Chakras are traditionally considered meditation aids. The yogi progresses from lower chakras to the highest chakra blossoming in the crown of the head, internalizing the journey of spiritual ascent.
New Age practices often associate each chakra with a certain color. In various traditions, chakras are associated with multiple physiological functions, an aspect of consciousness, a classical element, and other distinguishing characteristics; these do not correspond to those used in ancient Indian systems. The chakras are visualised as lotus or flowers with a different number of petals in every chakra.
Most original Sanskrit sources, Things are not being taught about the way things are, we are being given a specific yogic practice: we are to visualize a subtle object made of colored light, shaped like a lotus or a spinning wheel, at a specific point in the body, activating mantric syllables in it, for a specific purpose. The texts are prescriptive. they tell what you ought to do to achieve a specific goal by mystical means.
New age practice of physiological states associated with chakras
Many different websites books, it says that the mūlādhāra chakra is associated with survival & safety, that maṇipūra chakra is associated with willpower & self-esteem, and so on. The idea these associations chakras with psychological states is a modern Western innovation that started with Carl Jung. This won't be found in Sanskrit sources.
In Anodea Judith’s book Wheels of Life. Judith says that each chakra is associated with a certain bodily gland, certain bodily malfunctions, certain foods, a certain metal, mineral, herb, planet, a path of yoga, a suit of the tarot, a sephira of Jewish mysticism, and an archangel of Christianity. None of these associations are found in the original sources.
▪️▪️▪️▪️🪬Protection Magick 🪬▪️▪️▪️▪️
Hello darlings 🥰
Today, let’s talk about protection spells and rituals 🪬✨
As witches, we understand the importance of protecting ourselves, our loved ones, and our homes from negative energies and entities. Here are a few simple protection spells and rituals that you can try:
🧂Salt Circle: One of the simplest and most effective protection spells is creating a salt circle. Simply sprinkle salt around the perimeter of the area you wish to protect, visualizing a shield forming around it.
📿Protection Amulet: Choose a protective crystal such as black tourmaline or obsidian, and wear it as a necklace or carry it with you in a small pouch.
🪬Protective Sigils: Create a protective sigil by drawing a symbol or design that represents protection to you, and charging it with your intention. You can draw it on a piece of paper or carve it into a candle.
🪔Smoke Cleansing: Use garden sage or cedar to cleanse your space and yourself of negative energies.
Remember, protection spells and rituals are not just about physical protection, but also spiritual and emotional protection. Always trust your intuition and do what feels right for you.

Witchy Tips 🔮🌙
Hello darlings 🥰
Whether you’re just starting out on your magical journey or have been practicing for years, here are some helpful tips to enhance your craft and deepen your connection with the mystical realm:
Trust Your Intuition: Your intuition is a powerful tool in witchcraft. Listen to your inner voice and follow your instincts. It will guide you on your magical path and help you make decisions that align with your highest good.
Research and Learn: Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of witchcraft. Read books, explore reputable online resources, join discussion groups, and connect with fellow practitioners. Expand your knowledge and stay curious about different traditions and practices.
Personalize Your Craft: Remember, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to witchcraft. Tailor your practice to suit your unique personality, interests, and beliefs. Embrace what resonates with you and let go of what doesn’t. Your craft should reflect your authentic self.
Connect with Nature: Nature is a boundless source of inspiration and energy. Spend time outdoors, observe the cycles of the moon and seasons, and develop a deeper connection with the natural world. Commune with plants, animals, and the elements to harness their magical energies.
Practice Regular Cleansing: Cleansing rituals are essential for maintaining energetic balance. Use methods such as smudging with herbs, sound cleansing, or visualization techniques to clear your space, yourself, and your magical tools regularly.
Set Clear Intentions: Intention is the driving force behind effective spellwork and manifestation. Before casting spells, clarify your intentions, and focus your energy on your desired outcome. Be mindful of your thoughts, words, and actions, as they shape your reality.
Keep a Magickal Journal: Document your magical experiences, dreams, spells, and rituals in a journal. Reflect on your progress, successes, and challenges. Your journal serves as a valuable resource for self-reflection, growth, and tracking your magical journey.
Embrace Self-Care: Nurturing your mind, body, and spirit is vital for a balanced magical practice. Practice self-care rituals like meditation, energy healing, herbal baths, or indulging in activities that bring you joy. Prioritize your well-being to maintain your magical energy.
Honor Your Ancestors: Connect with your ancestral lineage and honor the wisdom and guidance of those who came before you. Incorporate ancestral practices, rituals, and symbols into your craft to cultivate a sense of connection and ancestral healing.
Follow Your Own Path: Ultimately, remember that your magical journey is unique to you. Embrace your individuality, trust your instincts, and follow your own path. There is no right or wrong way to be a witch. Embrace the freedom and creativity that comes with being a practitioner of the craft.
May these tips inspire and empower you on your magical path. Embrace your inner witch and continue to explore, learn, and grow in your craft. 🌟✨

✨🕯️Spirit Work🕯️✨
Hello darlings 🥰
Today, I wanted to talk about working with spirits and ancestors in your witchcraft practice ✨
Ancestor veneration and spirit work have been a part of various cultures and spiritual practices for centuries, and many modern witches incorporate these elements into their craft as well.
Working with spirits and ancestors can provide guidance, wisdom, and protection, as well as deepen your connection to your ancestry and lineage. Here are a few tips for incorporating these practices into your craft:
🕯️Research and connect with your ancestors: Start by researching your ancestry and learning about the traditions and practices of your ancestors. You can create an altar or shrine dedicated to your ancestors and leave offerings for them, such as food, drink, or candles.
🕯️Develop a relationship with your ancestors: Communicate with your ancestors through meditation, divination, or other methods. Ask for their guidance and support in your life and practice.
🕯️Work with spirit guides: Spirit guides are non-physical beings that can offer guidance and support on your spiritual journey. You can connect with them through meditation or divination, and ask for their help and protection.
🕯️Practice safe spirit communication: It’s important to practice safe spirit communication to protect yourself and your energy. Set clear boundaries, ground yourself, and always approach spirits with respect and caution.
Working with spirits and ancestors can be a powerful and transformative practice, but it’s important to approach it with respect and caution. Remember to always trust your intuition and practice safely.

tall/strong flame: lots of energy; barriers coming down; quick, happy results are likely. small/steady flame: less energy (still good!); positive results likely/may be delayed. stay focused on your goals! small/weak flame: flickering and bending is generally a sign something is not working; timing may be off; asking for something unfavorable; if flame falters and dies, it's a sign your spell won't be granted at this time. high/dancing flame: possible chaotic energy; successful spell, possibly with some complications/other wills may be working against you. rapidly flickering: dims and brightens; spirits are present; usually indicates success and that your message was heard. blue flame: a sign of spiritual presence; higher spiritual beings have taken an interest in your spell; power added to the spell. popping and stuttering: noisy candles indicate that outside forces are present; communication w/spirits; can mean interference or sending a message to you/increase concentration on the spell. flame suddenly goes out: spell has been extinguished by outside forces; usually means spell did not work; sit and rethink/meditate longer. candle won't light: possible wick issue or this spell won't work for your purposes; the outcome is outside your control; try again after reconsidering your intention and cleansing/smudging your space. -- black pieces in wax: (unintentional) black debris signifies unintended consequences; more spell work may be required; karmic baggage/guilt. Try some cleaning up. black soot on glass: signals negative energy/interference. black soot on top of the jar only: negative opposition has likely been overcome. black soot entire/majority of jar: spell unsuccessful; may need to cleanse and repeat work another time. white soot on glass: rare, represents spiritual communication and assistance. candle forms tunnel/crater in middle: incomplete candle burns w/lots of leftover wax isn't a good sign; will/focus too weak; ineffective energy to complete the task; spell blocked. candle explodes/container breaks/cracks: dramatic endings in candle magick are a sign your spell has been stopped by a higher power and you shouldn't be doing that spell work; reconsider intention/spell.
wax left in the container: lots of wax left on the bottom or sides of the candle container can indicate blockages to the success of your spell; might need to cleanse space and try again.
