Um,,, Hi

I'm a newbie that just joined last night. I'm really interested in this subject because my friend's mom knows a lot about it. The only problem is that I can't talk to her as much as I want. At first, this was something that I just thought was fascinating but now I think that I want to practice it as well. I hope that I can learn from this site! :-)

Welcome to SoM! :)

Thank you! Could I ask a few questions if you don't mind?

Hello MoonCat13 feel free to ask anything.

Okay well I'm completely new to this. My friend's mom told me about Wicca, things like what it was about, and I thought that it was fascinating. I was wondering... Is it was too late for me to begin learning how to pratice spells since I'm a high school senior? And can anyone practice magic? And I read something on this site that said that you can build up your magical energy. How would I do that or should I wait until I'm more experiencd?

Well first of all Wicca is a religion and therefore you need to learn it as a whole before you just jump in and start messing with things you don’t know. Now if your just interested in magic well, start with the basics.

Here is a link that can help start you out with some basics...

I'm interested in both. Are there books that yu recommend for beginning to learn the religion as a whole or would I need more of a mentor?

It is never too late to start practicing, but i recommend you do your research and find out as much as you can before doing spell work. Anybody can do magick, and as for the building of magickal energy, over time people do have more developed senses with magick. Magick is a skill, and the more you practice the better you get at it.

Learn as much as you can before doing spells. I highly recommend that you learn your basics. (type "basics" in the search bar to find an article or forum post about them if you are wondering what they are). I hope this helps you and i am glad to see your calm but enthusiastic (and open) attitude towards this.

Sincerely,
Scrupulous

And thank you for the link!
