Spells and witchcraft for beginners

Many novices will ask witches for these Real Spells – like they think we witches hoard all the good ones. Were not! I promise. Here’s your problem: looking for spells when you haven’t learned witchcraft is like looking for sheet music when you haven’t learned how to play an instrument.

Unfortunately, a lot of websites just hand you spells – many of these come from people who haven’t learned the craft from reputable sources, so those spells sound like something from Charmed. But saying a rhyme and starting a fire doesn’t make things “poof,” which is why many people have the following questions:

Can anyone become a witch? What is the first step to becoming a witch? Do I need a mentor to learn witchcraft? Can I be a “good” witch?

The following directory of my guides and guides was a labor of love that I’ve been working on for a number of years. I respect the craft and want students to learn it properly so their journey is blessed.

Searching for spells when you haven’t studied witchcraft is like searching for sheet music when you haven’t learned how to play an instrument.

What is the difference between Wicca and witchcraft?

As a Wiccan witch, I write about both Wiccan and witchcraft—they can go hand in hand or they can be mutually exclusive. Wicca is primarily a religion. The articles here focus primarily on the skills of witchcraft and can be used by any witch of any religion (solarity witches or those belonging to a covenant).

Important NOTE: Since I’m Wiccan, some articles specify Wiccan. However, the techniques I describe in these articles and the principles behind them can be applied universally. You don’t have to be a Wiccan to benefit from this guide.

2. Understand the principles of witchcraft for beginners

There are some principles of witchcraft that all beginners need to become familiar with. Start by learning the essentials, from the witch pyramid to training the mind and knowing how to use energy.

Witchcraft Primer

A witchcraft primer is perfect for anyone thinking about studying witchcraft, magic and spellwork. Here is an overview of what you need to know and what you need to learn. Witchcraft requires you to become familiar with the tools, techniques, and components of spells in order for your intentions to work.

Train the mind

Training the mind is essential if you want to learn witchcraft. You don’t need a spell book, and you don’t need to run out and buy an altar full of tools. What you really need is to train your mind. Once you’ve learned to discipline your mind through meditation, you can move on to visualization techniques.

The Witch Pyramid

The Witch Pyramid is a fundamental philosophy beneficial to learning the craft. It is an important lesson for all novice witches. Other names such as 4 Powers of the Magus and 4 Secrets of the Sphinx and the Hermetic Quaternary have been mentioned. Studying the philosophy of the witch pyramid allows you to use your knowledge and creativity.

3. Advice for new witches

As a novice witch, you have a lot of responsibilities to navigate. From choosing a mentor to learning the essential tools of the craft, these articles will allow you to start your journey in the right direction.

Choosing a mentor or teacher

Choosing a mentor or teacher is an important step in learning the craft. However, keep in mind that there are many people who are not what they say they are. Careful selection is of the utmost importance. Always remember to “do good” with your energy work and be wary of those who seek to harm other people. Here are some qualities to look for in someone who offers to step in as a mentor or teacher.

create channels

Creating channels by increasing energy and directing it towards your target is necessary if you want your spells to work. You can’t just throw them and expect things to fall out of thin air. You have to create channels for them. Learn what a channel is and how to create one.

Cast effective spells

Effective spells work and other spells don’t – this is something you learn when you study witchcraft. So, are you looking for more ways to cast spells that work for a change? Maybe the problem isn’t your skills, it’s your goals. Learn which spells not to cast so you don’t waste time.

Common rookie mistakes

Beginner mistakes are common, and even the best of us, no matter how experienced, are likely to have stumbled across at least one or two common mistakes when starting out. So, for all the beginners out there: forewarned is forearmed! Knowing which pitfalls to avoid can sometimes be half the battle. Here are seven more beginner witchcraft mistakes to read up on.

4. Techniques to train your mind

The most important tool in Witchcraft is your mind – that’s what makes it work. Learning how to train your mind is a prerequisite to practicing the craft. The words, the herbs, the candles, the tools and the gestures all help you focus and borrow their energy. They don’t do anything on their own.

What makes a spell work is what happens inside your head. It is of the utmost importance that you train your mind properly. The only real way to do this is through meditation.

Meditation tips when you can’t sit still

Meditation is an important requirement for practicing witchcraft. Have you tried meditating and heard over and over how beneficial it is for your personal growth and spirituality, but are you struggling to sit still? Guess what? You don’t have to sit still to meditate. Here are alternative methods for training the mind.

Learn to meditate for beginners

Learn to meditate with a short, introductory guide. Meditation is the cornerstone of many religions, people of independent faith, and magical practices such as Wicca. The article I’ve provided here reduces meditation to the basics to make it easy for newbies to get started without getting overwhelmed.

How meditation helps witchcraft

Meditation helps witchcraft in many ways. It helps train your mind to achieve a goal over time, teaches you to consciously shift your state of consciousness, allows you to increase your sensitivity to energies, and helps you classify emotions. Simply put, it is a heightened state of consciousness and will greatly benefit you as you learn the craft.

grounding and centering

Grounding and centering allow you to connect your energy to the earth and also center your focus inward. Anyone can reap the benefits of learning these techniques, but they are a must-have for beginning Wiccan learners. These activities will benefit everyone in daily life.

Grounding and centering visualizations

Visualizations for grounding and centering and learning how to use them can be productive not only in rituals but also in relation to living a healthy, balanced life. These visualizations are a great way to achieve grounding and centering anytime, under any circumstances.

Advanced: How to Improve Psychic Abilities

Psychic abilities must be nurtured in order to learn and practice witchcraft. You must learn to improve your natural intuitive abilities. I have provided some exercises to help you work on developing your psychic powers.

Advanced: Energy manipulation with crystals

Manipulating energy is an important tool for any witch, but it can be particularly difficult for beginners. Spiritual activity in pagan religions or witchcraft depends on your ability to sense, uplift, and project energy. Need exercise? Try these exercises to improve your skills.
