Witchcraft Basics: Where to Begin
Witchcraft begins with intention, awareness, and respect for the unseen. At its core, it is the practice of working with energy, nature, spirit, and will to create change. Before spells and rituals, it’s important to understand the foundations. Intention & Focus All magic starts with clear intent. Know why you are working and what outcome you seek. Focus directs energy. Energy Awareness Learn to feel, raise, and direct energy through breath, movement, meditation, and grounding. This is essential for effective spellwork. Tools Are Extensions Candles, herbs, oils, bones, cards, and other tools amplify your work, but you are the magic. Tools are not required, only helpful. Protection & Cleansing Basic cleansing and protection should always come first. Clear yourself and your space before and after workings. Connection to Cycles & Spirit The moon, seasons, ancestors, spirits, and personal guides all play a role. Witchcraft is a relationship, not just a practice. This path is about learning, discipline, and self-knowledge. Start slow, stay consistent, and honor your own spiritual language. Welcome to the work #witchcraft
