I am new to everything

Hi, its great to meet you. Im learning to! :D lots of great people here!

Welcome Rena :-)

Welcome Rena! I think you have been given good advice already, just take your time with everything and remember to pace yourself. If you go to deep to fast you can become easily over whelmed with the amount of information. So as everyone will tell you, learn your basics. Someone was already nice enough to list them out for you take their advice! I Hope you find joy on your path.

Blessed Be.

This thread has been moved to Introduce Yourself from Welcome.

I agree with learning your basics.

I find your list of basics you designated and accredited quite interesting, doe. It made me think we you enumerated some practices here which probably have no association with the basics, which are necessary for magic starters. I find some of them superfluous.

To begin with, we should define the word 'basics' and their importance. Definition of basic: of, pertaining to, or forming a base; fundamental: a basic principle; the basic ingredient.

Shortly the basics are practices that will help and guide us with all of the other form of magic(k)s we are going to study in the future, thus they are necessary.

I find your list interesting because I can't say they will help us later with our path. May you explain yourself more for a bit?

- Astral projection is the most confusing phenomenon you've mentioned here. Astral projection is certainly not necessary to keep on with our practices, and of course that they aren't what we'd do in the beginning. There is also a saying that astral projection is not necessarily associated only with magic, and it isn't always considered 'magick'. I'll make this short and relevant this time and say that the reason is that every projects at least once naturally during life ; Secondly this is a form of practice that people who aren't magick practitioners can perform either.

- Working with the elements basically comes after finishing working generally with energies and manipulating them. This is obviously not a basic step because it comes after a general state of energy manipulation, which is the actually basic step. Elemental energy can be indeed used for spells, however this comes after knowing to use our internal energy.

- By saying charming things do you mean to charging them with energies? Well, this can be put in the 'energy manipulation' section. We must keep things general while talking about the basics :)

May you explain more, doe? It sounds irrelevant to me.

I am peacefully pointing this out, of course :)
