First off, if you are new to magic, you do not want to start off with spell casting. You want to start off reading how magic works and how to use it. Then you learn about meditation, grounding your energy..ect.
Just remember magick is only energy. Also reading is a major part of magick. Learning how to use it and what it is. I am going to tell you briefly what magick is.
What is Magick?
Magick is energy that comes from the universe. It surrounds us everywhere, it is even inside us. Energy is the living part of the universe. Magick may be described differently, but it means the same (if they know what they are talking about).
What is a Spell?
In some or most religions spells are prayers, they are sending your thoughts and wants out into the universe to be acknowledged. Now then they use the energy to bring your spell to life, but doesn't mean that your spell will always work. Some spells even require work on your part.
Spells will not go *poof* and work instantly, they will take as much time as they need to work. No one will know if your spell works, only you will know. Please remember it probably isn't wise to cast more then one spell on the same subject (this is in my opinion).
Grounding Energy
Grounding energy is what some people have a hard time doing, it's releasing energy you don't need back into the cosmos, but it's assential your learn this.
Spiritual Journey
Most or all people go through this process, Spiritual Journey is to awaken your spiritual being. This will help you learn and open a world of new possibilities. Most people do this by meditation.
Meditation
If you want movies with monks and nijas..ect. You will see them cross there legs, close their eyes, and start breathing deeply and eveningly. This is called meditation, the pose they are doing is called the "Lotus Position". In which you do not have to do. All that matters when meditating, is that you are completely comfortable and undisturbed for a long while.
This can be achieved in these ways;
-
Telling your (parents, family, or friends) to not disturb you for a while.
-
Going into a room (quiet and dark will be more suitable).
-
Getting into a really comfortable position.
-
Close your eyes (Do not tighten your eyes just relax them).
-
Relax your body.
-
Clear your mind of all thoughts.
-
Breathe in deeply and eveningly (some people to insure even breathes would count to ten and exhale to the count of ten).
Remember relaxing and keeping side conversations out of your mind is going to be hard, but can be achieved.
If you have any questions you may ask me or anyone. Or your can do research.
