it will help you. If you go back through the forums you should be able to find specific techiniques as well that have been explained.

But here is a list of what you should learn first.

"Meditation, visualization, grounding/centering, energy flow and control, shielding and circle casting, elements, days, colors, tools, moon phases."

A book that really helped me is The Solitary Witch by Silver Ravenwolf. It got me started and I still look at it when I need some advice. No matter what type of magic you really want to learn I think they all start at relativly the same spot, so once you learn the basics you could go just about anywhere with it.

silver ravenwulf should not be read most of her writings is "fluffy" very little of what she says is actually close to truth

While she is viewed as fluffy, she has the credit of sparking people's interest into learning Magick that is real.

I consciously started with the book 'Essential Wicca' (since my views are Wiccan), but I also learned a bit from other books as well as from people (talking with fellow occulters).

I found the book very informative on the wiccan history and beliefs, but if what she wrote isnt true.....

I'm not saying that all of what she wrote is not true. Whatever she does say, however, you'll just have to cross-reference. :)

Well in order to start magick you don't necessarily introduce yourself to Wicca, really focus what it is you want. A religious intent? A more self gratifying intent? To see where you want to go to.

thanks i just ordered that book...
