i'm a noob to spellcasting, although i've heard other people do it and have seen my elders recite incantations. so what are some of the basics to spellcasting and some of the most essential tools? is an altar required for spellcasting? i've read that practice makes perfect and so does patience as spells require time, but i need some tips from those of you in the community who've had many years of practice and experience with spells.
it is my belief that we must live life the way it's meant to be lived, but sometimes we need a little help to protect us or to get us where we want to be. i hope to use spells for the good, and i hope to continue to learn more about myself through experimenting with spells. thanks in advance to those of you who contribute to this thread.
well im a noob two but one thing i've learned quickly not all spells accully work, but most do. Also i've found that if you try new spells alot it makes perfecting old ones much eaiser. One last thing if you need tips or other help just go to the forums and post away! Hope this helps!!!=D
yeah, that does help...as of right now, i guess the only thing we can do as noobs is to keep practicing...so how do you distinguish which spells work and which ones don't? some of them i've looked over seem as though it's written for amusement and not for pratical purposes.
Meditation, visualization, grounding/centering and energy flow/control.
Those are the main ones to start with. Depending on path will determine what others you will continue to use, however when just starting out it's suggested to also learn chakras, elements, tools, days, colors, moon phases and shielding and/or circle casting. The reason I mention these are, even though not everyone uses them later on in their path, they are helpful when starting out for an extra "boost" so to speak. They already have programed energy attached to them stating that they do this that and the other thing, so when starting out..does it hurt to have a little extra something behind you? ;)
As far as spells...well I honestly wouldn't worry about it til you have your basics down.
well thanks for the helpful tips...it's time for me to get going on those then! which is easiest to start out with? or is it up to how comfortable i am with it?
The best to start with is meditation, then the visualization, then grounding/centering, followed by energy flow/control IMO.
Grounding is ridding yourself of excess and/or negative energies and bringing in energies from the earth.
One way to do it is to go outside barefoot and imagine your toes are roots, going deep into the ground. Imagine your energy going into the ground and with each breath in, allow the energy of the earth to come back up through you.
I agree although I do suggest visualization and meditation practically at the same time; as the importance of meditation versus the easiness and significance of visualization.
