Hello famicomTri!!Welcome to the site^.^Feel free to ask me if you have any questions^^ as about tips now,start off with meditation lol I know I sound tiring repeating this again and again,but oh well I believe it worths it:P Furthermore,take a look ^^ on the site's posts,and I'd advise you to join a coven as well
MMmm Try out this method sweety and let me know how it's going,yeah?Look at first,meditation can be a bit hard,but once you get used to it,it's the easiest thing in the world to do ^^ You'll see.I'd advise you to practice every day if possible,preferably at night(See,I find it much easier to meditate at night^^)
Now you could try this method out for example,it's pretty easy to handle
THE RELAXATION RITUAL
STEP ONE. Sit or lay in a place where you will not be disturbed
for at least five minutes. Remember to unplug the telephone. Get
comfortable. Ifyou are sitting, your back should be straight. Whether
sitting or lying down, your legs and arms should not be crossed. If sitting,
rest your hands, palms down, in your lap. Your eyes should
be closed.
STEP TWO. Visualize a golden ball of beautiful, warm light surrounding
your feet. If you cannot "see" the ball of light when you
visualize it, that is okay. Just know that it is there. Truly know that if
your powers of visualization were different you would be able to see
it. The ball of golden warm light always brings peace and total relaxation.
Whereverthe ball of light goes, tension departs. Let it go, and as it
goes, feel your feet filled with the warm, golden glow of peace and
total relaxation.
STEP THREE. Nowallow this ball of light to rise up your legs and
up your torso. Then allowit to go down your arms to your fingers, and
finally up your neck and into your head until you are completely
covered withthe warm, goldenglow of total peace and relaxation, and
all tension is gone. If you notice tension anywhere, send the 'ball of
light there and the tension will vanish.
STEP:FOUR. Stay in this state of deep relaxation for a few moments.
Know that you can return to this state whenever you like simply by
doing this relaxation ritual.
STEP FIVE. When you are ready to come out of this state of deep
relaxation, take three deep breaths and feel fresh life and energycoming into
your body with each breath...That's it^^Try to meditate once or twice per day for about 15-30 if possible ^_^
To add to that,it'd be good if you learned your basics which are Meditation,grounding,days,moon phases,tools,casting a magic circle energy flow,shielding,elements, colors

I would just like to say that I am also new to witchcraft. I've been reading all of the info that is on this site, and have found a lot of great information. The first thing I learned was meditation. And I must say that I never thought that I would ever learn how. But now I use it every day. I find that it relaxes me, and at the same time, I feel like I have more energy for casting spells. I feel more empowered while casting spells and have a more positive outlook in general.
I am looking forward to all the possibilities that are open to me now.
