There's a lot of options before you. Perhaps you should learn about energy before trying to heal? There are many forms of energy healing, but you also have herbs and spells. What are you most interested in?
Study! Just simply said study. Try herbs, and rocks and basic components of the health resort. Why herbs? Simply because are medicine comes from herbs, and they have beneficial meanings if say you know what something or a plant is.
Also try reading books on healing. A good doctors book on medicine will do, it doesn't always have to relate to say paganism!
Also maybe ask lark, or personified! They have knowledge on various oaths, like personified is amazing with shamanism, while lark wicca.
Ive been studying for a while about healing but i never thought of resolting to medical books on healing. I didnt think that they were similar in the way they are... Done.
I have been trying different technics on energy and focusing on postive energy rather than negative. SOM has shown me some good healing point but i want to extend me knowledge a lot further.
Herbs are quite a major part in healing. However can the herb come from your garden or do they have to be cleansed before use?
Herbs have benefits, I'm not trying to say you must learn this, or that but it's balancing to have a variety of knowledge on different health properties.
Say using a dandelion for tea with some chamomile root can help your chakras and help the immune system along with sleep.
Using these and balancing the knowledge can help with health spells also. How? Because you can easily incorporate properties, like herbs or various medicines into spells. This not only will help alot, it will also make spells stronger for your using elements and properties that have energies of there own.
Herbs can come from anywhere, but maybe cleanse them by putting them under the moon/sun, or water.They could also be used without cleaning.
Now also yes you may have tried studying books, but it can't be just dealt with non medical books. We must maintain balance, and all kinds if medical/herbs/rocks/medicine books can help!
A healer does not rely solely on spells. Its a process which includes understanding of energy and herbs and the person you tend on healing. You need more that just spells. Seems some education is needed here. How new are you? Have you studied the basics? Do you even know what magick is?
Magick is the Science and Art of causing Change to occur in conformity with Will. You do this by learning what to use, and how to use it.
