I need your help.!

THIS IS LONG SO JUST HANG IN THERE!!!

For many years I have observed many different witches. I have studied them, watched them, and learned that though very different, we are all based around the same principal. This is why I ask of my brothers and sisters to help me with a challenge. As the eve of my 24th birthday lingers, I want to do something I have never done before. Just hear me out I ask, if this is not something you are interested in then you don't have to comment or answer any of it. However, if you would like to help me with this task then please flood my inbox with all the information you can.

So with that being said this is what I am hoping to spend my next year doing. As many of you already know the craft is something we have either been born into or have found it as our own personal escape. I am a 16th generation witch (according to my late grandmother who practiced). I was raised in the catholic church due to the other side of my family being very high nosed about certain things. I wasn't taught at an early age what great powers I had and how amazing my life could be if I could learn to control and focus my energy and powers. I wasn't informed until I turned 13 years old just exactly what I was capable of. When I was 13, I had stumbled upon a random book in my library that I didn't even intend to. It had called out to me without me ever even knowing it. It was a book about the Salem Witch Trials and it fascinated me from the very first sentence. This made me wonder a lot about why I was drawn to this book. So I started reading more and more and more into the craft and the things that these people had been through and it hurt my heart. Unfortunately for me my mother was having none of that and basically banned me from having any of that material in her house. I was devastated! But no matter what I felt like I had belonged with this group of powerful men and woman. So I built up the courage to ask my grandmother about these woman knowing she could never lie to me and was always so straight forward. To my surprise she was thrilled! She sat me down and told me all about my gifts and my powers and the things I should be able to do if only I had concentrated all that power and emotion into something good. The only one of her grandchildren that had the gift she said. The other 5 didn't show any sign or detail of them showing any interest in our heritage. Luckily for me I was still young and had time to learn, unfortunately for me my grandmother passed away before she could help me learn anything about our powers.
So here I was at 13 years old trying to learn as much as I could. It was a struggle to learn what I have learned but it never stopped me. I read and practiced as much as possible in as little time as I had available. This meant I had no time at all in my household! When I was 17 I felt the urge to reach out to others with gifts. It was then that I learned why Salem was calling to me all these years. In a previous life I myself was burned alive for using witchcraft. I had later found out that the witchcraft I was involved in was white magic and I loved to heal people. Luckily I found that out and its made my power and energy even stronger.
So now that you have all read a lot about me, probably more then you wanted to. This is what I am asking your help for. I have a young child who is powerful, and I mean that literally! She is going to be a great and powerful witch one day and I couldn't be happier. However she is going to grow up one day and be that confused little girl that I once was, and I do not want that to happen. I do not want any of our future children to go through the struggles of trying to find themselves and figure out who they are and what is happening to them.
This is why I ask of you, my brothers and sisters, to send me in your words what has made you become the witch you are today. Tell me all about your struggles, tell me about the moment you knew when you were different. I want to know all of this! I know some of you may feel as if I am being nosy but I am far from it! I am asking your help to help me finish this book that will help so many younger generations of witches become the best they can be. A book where they can read about the history of our people. A book that they can learn to focus their powers. A book that helps them learn little spells and techniques about becoming a witch and controlling their powers and emotions. I want to fill this book with as many peoples stories as possible to show the future generations that they aren't the only ones who feel this way.
I know this is asking a lot but I truly do feel it would be so beneficial to our future as witches to help the next generations. If you are interested in helping me please like I said blow up my inbox! I want to hear your stories and how you overcame the obstacles and spells that are simple and small and great for beginners. I thank you in advance and I truly do wish we can make this go far!

I understand where ur coming from. I was once a little girl who had an interest in witchcraft. I was 9 years old when I started wanting to
learn about it. Just like u I told my grandmother and of course she was happy i brought up the subject. She told me about her childhood and how she became interested into it. Turns out she was in the pagan and Wiccan arts. So was my mother. She told my mother about me asking her about it and they told me that they were gonna train me and teach me about this,but I could not tell anyone. I'm 14 now and still trying to learn. Never In my whole life would I have thought something like this would happen to me and it's been a great experience. I suggest that u should let ur daughter come to u when she starts getting into the topic. Just like how u and me asked. I wish the best of luck for u too. Blessed be.

I'm 16 years old, living in a VERY Christian household, and practicing in secret. I've found that when it comes to the mundane, like grades, I have an incessant fear of failure. But then just a few months ago, I found that magic isn't just the stuff of fairytales. I work mainly in energy, and the few physical tools I have are inconspicuous. I have no intent on quitting the craft, and perhaps I may teach it to my children, should I be so blessed. All that sums up to "If even the gal with fear-of-failing issues won't stop, neither should you!"
