New and know nothing

Hello : ) well I'm a newbie to this whole spell stuff. A moon spell book came into my possession and iv come to be really interested into the subject. To be honest I really don't know much about spells other than the karma factor and I'd never do a spell that was negative or harmful cuz well I'm not like that and I really don't know what I would be messing with I don't even know what magic exist of. I'm going to buy a book to learn more but I wanted to ask if any of you have any tips or anything that you wish someone had told you when you were a beginner I would greatly appreciate any input. Thanks!

I wish someone had told me alot of things but i got to where i am at by myself. But i can tell you this. Read , read alot. study hard and if this is something that you really want to do then you wont be dissappointed. Start with the basics (meditation, visualization, grounding, and centering) and you will have a good foundation for when you start circle castiing or spell working. and you have come to the right place to learn and ask questions there are plenty of forums and people to get any information you need. If you have any specific questions do not hesitate to ask me or anyone else on this site. I hooe i helped.

hello,

im kinda new at witchcraft and im learing about it alot and the moons took me awhile to learn my advice is understand the pagrams and the moons first and what they mean.

hello,

i have ? how would you the spells do have all the stuff for them?

spells dont really require much in the way of things. A lot of people do put emphasis on having items ( like if i was doing a prosperity spell then i want a lot of things to represent abundance) but really all you need is you but it wouldnt hurt to have a least one candle. meditate ground and center Light the candle say a prayer or chant decribing your goal of the spell and send your energy out thats pretty much it especially if your just beggining. later you can add all the theatrics to it if you want.
Did that help?

yes it did help and thank you for hte help...

The basics, you have to do the basics before you try any form of magick.

Always basics first! :) thank you dark , I try to imply that but sometimes I forget to actually say it :)

Thank you guys so much!! The tips really help. What exactly are the basics?

Start with meditation and chakra work. Also read about and practice the other basics of magic such as grounding and centering, circle casting, visualization, and shielding. It is going to take time to learn and practice these aspects of the craft, several months in fact to become skilled in them like it is second nature. I suggest at least one daily meditation of about fifteen minutes long and at least one daily practice of energy work again no longer than twenty minutes at a time. If you can fit in a morning and an afternoon session or even a noon as well, please feel free to do so. Meditation can also be practiced for a few minutes before you need to focus on a task such as a test, meeting, or project.

As you work on these things it would be a good idea to read and cross reference the many other aspects of the craft that are basic as well but lead to more advanced practice. Divination and the many different types that can be used, color correspondences not only for candle magic or auras but other forms of energy workings, the different tools and items that can be utilized in magic, the elements including the different sets from different cultures, how to use the vast amount of symbols and their meanings, the moon phases and how and when to utilize them, the seasons even have an effect on castings. Things like herbs and stones take time to memorize so I find it best to read about the ways in general you can utilize them and research the different items and their use as things come up. Researching information before casting magic is a must, even I after all my years still research and deduct which way is best to handle the situation magically.
