Hey all, So today I thought I should do a post about tips and tricks to help you start on your magical path. Now I always see people in the community asking for help about where to start and what they should do. Now in no way is this going to be a step to step guide to be a better you, or even a do this or never get fair. Because each path is different. I will be sharing some tips and tricks that I have learned through out my path that I believe will help you get far in your research and also helps you connect with your magical self. 1# Start with writing down what you want from this path. I have seen many people come to this path thinking that they will get all the answers they want but they dont know what they want. I personally believe before you start anything you should write down why you are doing it in the first place. I for one will do a post like this soon to refresh my own belief on why I am on the path I am on. 2# Research! you will never get anything done with out doing your research. I would personally start on the history of magic, why people are attracted to the path what do they get out of it, what will you get out of it. Why some people act the way they do around witchcraft and what impact did it have on our history and how we connect with the path today. 3# Start with basics. Don't jump in head first and rush your learning. That will never get you anywhere. I would personally start with the elements and how they can help you with the craft. For me I connect with nature so I use most of the elements within my craft. I started with candle magic because its very basic. Its a great starting point and you can get your hands on candles really easy. I would also learn the power of colour because that will help with candle magic and also something you will need for future crafts. 4# Hopefully you will soon feel connected with the path and you will start to be drawn to other aspects that we call craft. You could go into divination, nature magic, herbs and uses. There is so much to learn within this path that your mind might explode if you dont start of on the right foot. Its why I decided to do these tips. 5# I would also start a journal. Dont call it anything special because it will most likely be more of a jotter than a magic book of shadows. The more you learn the more you should take notes so you can transfer it to a main book of shadows once your are ready. If you want to start a book of shadows now then fair enough but bear in mind your learning everything so you will change your mind loads of times because you settle on one aspect and thats why you should leave it a while before starting a book of shadows. 6# Meditate. Now I find that meditating helps me connect with nature and my magical path while stressed. It helps me ground myself and calm my mind. Its a great form of calming the mind and it only takes 5-10 minutes of your day. (I will hopefully do a meditation post about my own tips and ticks to help you get the most of meditation) Overall be true to yourself. You can't rush your learning and you cant run head first into a problem. You need to find a starting point and work off from there. Its why I always say to start with history, you learn the mistakes they made so you dont have to. You learn the start of our path thats been documented and hopefully you connect with it in a way that makes your path worth while. After all you need to make sure this is what you want to do before you head in. Books and TV makes magic amazing which it is but its never what people think it is. You will learn a lot on this path but also question aspects of your own life at times. Make sure you know yourself and understand why you are doing this. I hope you enjoyed todays post and that Its helped you think before you do anything. I will see you in the next post x Blessed be x MissDoomie x Comments are closed.
