Newbie Guide #01

28-1-2014

By KingOfHarts

Welcome to Spells Of Magic (SoM for short)! I thought I might make a basic guide for you to start your journey. I will include two chapters, one for newbies and one for those who want to understand how everything is possible . So, to start off we will begin with the basics...

Chapter I: The Basics:

For those of you who are new to magick, i recomend you research and practice these. They are needed to be practiced and mastered (not nessicarily complete) to perform most spells and rituals. so i have made a list of them here.

  • Meditation

  • Visualisation

  • Grounding

  • Centring

  • Shielding

  • Correspondences (Such as Candle colours and their meanings, planetary days and moon phases etc.)

    • I recommend you practice these 2-3 times a week, concentrating on one (E.G. "This week I will focus on meditation").

    Once you are able to achieve this and do it easier then when you started, you should find the path for you if you have not already. This 'pathway' will show you what you should focus on throughout your practices. The path's you COULD choose from are:

  • Shamanism

  • Wiccan/pagan

  • And More!

    • Tips:

  • Make sure your chosen path suits your beliefs and background, do not change yourself just to fit into a certain one, let the path that suits you "come to you".

  • When meditating, concentrating on your breathing helps relax your mind, and at first May take some time to get into the "trance".

    • A Meditation To meditate first close your eyes, and you must relax your body, to do this, just relax each part of your body one by one starting wherever you choose.

    Next, you need to become aware . To do this just feel whatever your touching, smell whatever there is to smell, use all your sensors other then your vision to become aware of your surroundings.

    Once you have become aware of your surroundings, concentrate on your breathing; in through your nose, out through your mouth. Just keep doing this and you'll notice (don't try to notice this) that you are no longer aware of your surroundings or your thoughts. You are now meditating.
