Hello! It is one of my favourite topics - as I am fairly new to the practice and have been in the closet for sometime until one fine day, my mom kind of told me that she's okay if I want to learn to cast spell (in Jesus' name :X)
I felt odd, to be honest because I am a protestant and we don't have altars to begin with (we don't even believe in Angels) but I am new age so that I am learning to explore too.
Here's my altar (as you can see in my profile picture), a very protestant cross and simple altar. I do want a cauldron and want one with pentagram - waiting for the right moment.
SonOfMan, the best way to figure out what style you have, is to count the number of beads. The commonest one, the Dominican, has 59 beads, a center piece and a crucifix. An abbreviated type, sometimes referred to as a chaplet, will be between 11 and 15 beads. Chaplets are also rather common, but usually referred to as chaplets rather than rosaries. The Franciscan Crown has 70 beads but uses 72 prayers. The Anglican Rosary (the only protestant one) contains 33 beads, it's broken down to various levels as to what each bead or each set of beads represents in the life of Jesus. My Wiccian Rosary, has 30 beads broken into 3 sections, each representing part of the trinity. I've adapted my own set of prayers, I'm not sure where I got all of them, but they came from various sources, and I've adapted most of them slightly to suit my own needs.

And I would love to share it with you and anyone else interested in it.
Regarding Angels, especially Archangels, why do some sources say that they take on intimidating forms? I've heard people who use Enochian Magick say that they're terrifying but when I felt the energy of the Archangels I felt pure love.
My other friend has said that Angels can't hurt people because they're beings of pure love.
Sorry if it sounds paranoid but I need some guidance in this area.
The angels are a weird subject. Some are benevolent, but if you look at the prayer to St. Michael, they have their moments. Some angels are war like, like St. Michael. Some are primarily benevolent. I don't know too much about angels, but I do know they vary from time to time. Check the bible and see what it says about them. You can kinda get the feeling of them there
Hi everyone, I would like to know a bit more about Sophia also could we have lessons on the Gnostic Bible and The Nag Hammadi? I would like to know more about how a christian witch casts a circle and what prayers and we could use.
Hi SonofMan, try sprinkling holy water for protection and there are plenty of St Michael and Archangel Michael prayers on YouTube, I just do the novena St Bridgets 15 prayers each day except when I'm tired or really busy! It's a one year devotion, I started two years ago but I do love this devotion a lot and I feel very safe! I will pray this devotion for as long as I'm alive! Its helped me a lot and it's only 24mins a day. I do hope this helps! Burning Frankincense is also good.
