What's Best Way to Study Wicca\Witchcraft?

[SweetlittleWitchLea]

I wanted to know what is the best way to study Wicca and Witchcraft. Would it be better to read about it on books and take notes or Rewrite different spells on paper and such for memorization. If you have any tips that would be helpful since I'm kind of stuck >.< that would be great

Don't be strict...but be firm about your studies. Some days you won't feel like studying, and some days you'll want to study more--that is okay. I suggest starting a BOS, include spells, rituals, laws of your tradition, etc. just so it has what is meaningful to you. I also suggest reading as much as information is possible. Learn about the magickal and medicinal properties of herbs and crystals. Meditate. Don't be afraid to practice spells if there is a strong need or desire--just make sure you know what you're doing. Mix things up so you never get bored with it. I think this will serve as a good plan of study for you. Hope I helped

Reading gives guidance on what to do & what not to do, plus creative suggestions.A good aid to learning is getting the senses involved in what you do. A simple sensory association for herb, oil & incense aromas is to use sweet scents for love & peace, citrusy for cleansing, forest for prosperity and spicy 🌶 for protection. Use common kitchen Herbs n’ Spices.

Try a few different methods of circle casting, Feel the different energy effects on you between doing a full ritual (with purifying, casting, elemental summoning, divine evocation and offering) and doing a simplified rite (sweeping and incensing widdershins to cleanse & then projectingdeosil ). When we involve our senses the body learns the Craft intuitively.

Practice your skills
. Grounding - think it to send your energy down the spine to anchor into the earth for stability
. Center - think it & draw power on the breath to the belly (solar plexus/will-power)
. Project - think it to push power from the belly & thru the to set intention
. Make psi-balls between the hands & feel the subtle push-back; ground the energy & shake your hands to clear,

Prepare a workspace
. Meditate in the planned work area before setting up gear to prepare a clean slate to build on
. Prep a table: wipe with , bless with incense, dab & wipe with oil to hold a psychic charge, and magnetize with energy
. Supplies: heat-safe burning bowl, Oil, 🕯candles, salt, H2O cup, notebook🖊
. Ritual tools vary by path so are optional

Simplify
. Know your intent - use incantations to say only what results are to be
. Choose ingredients (if any) that relate to your intent by symbolic association, scent or appearance
. Choose the methods you’re comfortable using - candle, cord, grid, potion, petitions, sigil, stone
