Merry meet everyone, Today I am doing the second half of the tips post. I thought it would be better to half the post so there wasn't so much to read and also I didn't want to overload you all with information ect. 6. ALTARS Now you don't have to have a altar but many do. I personally have built upon mine for the last couple of years now. If your a closet witch then you may only want a small altar in a box, if your more open then you may want to have a big altar that takes up half your room, or you may want it all over your home in sections. I always find that looking what others have done online gave me ideas for my own and then I just let my creative side take over. If you have seen my post about my altar then you know I have a lot of items on my altar. All you really need is candles and items that you connect with that you want on your altar. I always say candles is a must because for me it just makes it feel special. Get ideas from others and if you want to start your altar don't worry what others think or have. Collect items from nature to add to your altar you don't have to buy anything to have an altar you can build it out of anything if you wanted to. Make it your own space where you feel connected to. 7. BOOK OF SHADOWS Now I always found that having a book of shadows helped me with my learning. It can be a simple notebook where you jot information down or you can have a big leather book. You could have a online book of shadows or a digital one stored on a pen drive. Its up to you how you store your information that you collect on the journey you are on. I always say start small. I have so many different books of shadows its unreal. I think my first ever book of shadows was a slate book that my mother brought me for my birthday. It was special but a pain the the butt to write in. I think I got half way though the book before starting a new one haha. I would say go with the flow on your book of shadows, I wouldn't worry about how it looks or if its organised because I always find if your learning different aspects of magick then you can't do it in chapters and you will just stress yourself out and hate working in your book of shadows. Its meant to be fun and a create way to collect your information not a chore. 8. CONNECTING WITH OTHERS I found that connecting with others that are on similar paths has helped me a lot in the last couple of months. There are many blogs and youtube channels that you can connect with and get help with. I am part of a community on the amino app call the witches circle. I have met some really amazing people on this app and got some great advice. I love this app to bits and it was a way for me to connect with people that are on the same wave length as you. Some people would rather stay along but its up to you. I just personally thought it helped me a lot. 9. YOUR PATH Hopefully you will have some idea what path you are walking down, if you don't, don't worry about it. Some people know straight away and others are just still finding their path. What I would say is don't let other people control the way you learn and the path you take. No one is on the same path and everyone does things slightly different. Follow your heart and you can go anywhere you want on your path as its yours. 10. BEING SURE WHEN Now this is more about spell work. Don't rush into spells. Do it when your ready. Don't let anyone push you into something your not ready to do and always make sure you understand what your doing before your going to do it. I have seen so many people rush into spell work and it has backfired on them. I don't want this to happen to you. Make sure you are ready personally because everyone is different and no one can tell you when its the right time to do it or not. I would also say don't worry if your first spell goes wrong or that nothing happens from it. Because you will need practice My first spell was a birthday spell. I did it on my 10th birthday and it was one that brought wisdom to you with each birthday. I am not sure it worked or not but it was fun to do with my mother. It was a great bonding session to be honest. Just be mindful when you do your first spell that sometimes things happen for a reason. I hope these tips have helped you a lot and if you have any questions or would like to add anything just comment bellow because I do love hearing from you all. I will see you all in the next post. Blessed be x MissDoomie x Comments are closed.
