I realized that religion wasnt in my blood...
i wanted something more positive in my life,
so i studied diff types of religion and spirituality.
i felt wiccan was more for me, though i still dont believe in everything i believe in what works for me which is positive energy.

when i was 7 i wanted to get powers like super human strength and be able to fly and my cousin who used to practice magick got me into magick with small tricks of hand then into the real thing like candle magick and energy spells.

i discovered it a good few years ago. I suppose i was curious about it since i had family members who dabbled, but it came into my life when i bought a book about magic, then started researching it, and it went from there :)
I stumbled upon magick the first time while on a midnight walk at my local park. I saw two figures in the distance doing some weird motions on the baseball diamond so I thought I'd investigate. It turns out that they were two of my old friends from high school. One of them was working on mixing magic with martial arts. When he said the "m" word I got extremely skeptical due to the fact that I was raised in a very conservative Christian household, but when i asked what exactly he was talking about he explained the chakras to me and then told me to hold out my hand. When i did he held his over mine and I felt the space between them begin to thicken and tingle like I had just walked too close to an electric generator or something. Then he stuck his hand out and pretended to turn some invisible door knob near my belly button and I felt my gut lurch. It scared the poo out of me, but that's how i originally discovered magick. I now practice a much more practical form of magick due to some fluffy circumstances that caused major skepticism in my faith.

i found a book in the school library called wizardoligy and it got me interested i know now that the book was like 99.99% lies mad up to entertain kids but thats what got me started then i found out my mom was wiccan not long after that and i just kinda drifted from religion to religion until i decided to make my own based on what i believe
like warlock, i've also found a book about magick in our school library.. that is "initiation to hermetics a practice of magick" by franz bardon.. it was so interesting.. i've read it so many times and research also some of franz bardon's books.. then one day, i felt that this path is calling me..
Two years ago I had a sudden interest in magic. I would stay after school and write spells in this little notebook I had. Then I met a few girls and we Bahamas studding it together. This next part is foolish; I have no idea what started this belief but we thought we were from this book and had to save the world(we don't belive this anymore, it's what we believed at the time.). And over summer break I discovered this site, learned the basics and was on my way to becoming the amazing witch I am now.
