Do you mind taking the time to post an introduction in the top section of the forum? Thank you.

This topic was overlooked. There’s quite a lot here to respond to.

I'm very new to wicca/witchcraft... I've been researching everything on the subject for a while now and I want to start using some simple spells...
. I’d suggest building a supply kit from Nature - leaves, tree bark, moss. Let their scents tell you what they do.
. Find a water-smoothed stone in Nature. Stone stroking while swaying and chanting is used to induce light trance to effect a change in conditions. Example, for health repeat Bone to bone, stone to stone, flesh to flesh, vein to vein, (name) is whole again. Design your own rhyme for your specific goal.
- Salt, olive- or almond oil or a blend called sweet oil to be used for anointing.

First I feel I need to really connect with the universe...
. Stand outside at dawn and dusk & under the star. Open your senses to the energies of the moment. Just listen.
. Visit natural locations with unique features. Expand your senses to the Spirit of the Place in greeting. Leave an offering of bread for nature’s critters.

... like an initiation into wicca and witchcraft or something... a commitment maybe? I'm really not sure what I need to do...
. Look into self-dedication & use suggestions to compose your own. Find the right outdoor place for you - near flowing water or in a grove of trees, or near a large boulder or some feature of the land. Choose an auspicious date. Know clearly what it is you commit to. Go for it.

I just know iI need to really synchronize with the universe/mother nature before I go any further.
. Trust your feeling. You are the only authority so give yourself permission.
