You should start off with centering, grounding, meditation and circle casting. Those are the first things you should learn.

hey im kinda new ive meditated a little already and dont know how to cast circles and all but wanna learn how to cast some kewl spells and im 13 and if u can offer me any help that would be great just mail me and i also want to know what is a shaman and wicca and all that stuff.

I suggest you start with research and lots of it. Especially the 13 year old. There are no "cool" spells. Spells are not meant to be cool. They are meant to help someone with problems they are having. In order to truly cast a spell you need a decent understanding of why you are casting, how you are casting, what you are casting, and the potential outcomes.

I actually recommend starting with Wiccan Beliefs. I believe that if you are truly Wiccan, than magick is not your primary focus. I believe the primary focus is the God and Goddess, and following the Wiccan Rede and other beliefs, rather than just casting spells and practicing magick all the time. After all, Wicca is a religion, whereas magick is simply a practice. Feel free criticize this. But please, no flaming.

Ok sityon beat me to it

Hi there, I?ve been practicing Wicca for a good many years now and one of the first questions that comes up is the one about where to start. My suggestion is always to start by doing some reading and studying to make certain that you understand what Wicca is really all about, and so that you can then decide whether this is truly the path that you want to follow. So with that in mind I thought I would offer some books and websites that are full of sound I information which can help you get started on your path.

To start with, here are some books that I would suggest.

''A Witch Alone'' by Marian Green
''The Elements of Ritual'' by Deborah Lipp
''Witchcrafting'' by Phyllis Curott
''21st Century Wicca'' by Jennifer Hunter
''Before You Cast a Spell'' by Carl McColman
''When, Why...If'' by Robin Wood
''Practical Pagan'' by Dana Eilers
''Wicca; A Year and a Day'' by Timothy Roderick
