Hello, I’ve done some perusing around some witch blogs (sorry if that’s not the correct term) and I have to say I’m fairly interested in learning about witchcraft (If that’s the term) but as you can probably tell I have absolutely no beginner knowledge. Can you tell me where I might be able to start? Maybe some simple things to start out with to get a feel for it, possibly things that require just spoken word, meditation, and common material? I would very much appreciate any direction you have.

That’s the correct term! And welcome to the community! 🙂

I have an FAQ series that may give you a helpful starting point, but I’d love to hear if there are any burning questions you have that didn’t get answered, or if there are any main things that I’m missing. It’s always a work in progress!

I would also recommend browsing through these tags on tumblr:

Controversial opinion, but ur allowed to like things that suck

Like, sometimes there are just shows or books that are so goddamn awful for any number of reasons… But ya still like ‘em somehow, and that’s fine

It’s not required to write a 20+ page essay defending why you enjoy something shitty, you can just… Enjoy shitty things

Not all content is made equally and you’re allowed to like things that are far from perfect

Like, just, “This show sucks, but I like it anyway” is a totally valid response

“It’s comforting,” is a legit answer.

“I like reading about clothes,” is a legit answer.

“it’s brain popcorn, and I don’t feel like delving into something deep,” is a legit answer.

“I’ve read it so many times I can basically recite it, and it relaxes me by being familiar,” is a legit answer.

You don’t need to justify your taste.  Stop feeling guilty about liking things, or liking the “wrong” things.  Life is hard and bleak right now, get fun where you can.

Simple spray

heatherwitch:

To cleanse, protect, and banish.

Gather:

  • A pinch or three of salt.
  • Moonwater, or regular water.
  • Lavender (protection, cleansing, drawing in positivity)
  • Basil (banishing negativity, draws in luck and positive things)
  • Sage (cleansing, banishing, protection).
  • A drop of essential oil if desired.

Put water and herbs in a pot of water, let it simmer until it is as potent as desired. Strain, let cool. Add essential oils and salt. Pour into spray bottle. Spray along doorways, walls and edges. Can be done alone or as part of a ritual.

Magic to Replenish Energy

(Had to make a new version because tumblr messed with the gif on the original and won’t let me edit my own posts…)

As a spoonie witch, using magic to help regain my mental and physical energy has been extremely helpful. I decided to compile some resources to make life easier!
