Newbie Questions

How do I know if I am even able to perform magic spells and incantations? And how can I practice magic in secret?

In order to keep your studying in secret, try keeping everything in your head, not writing huge books like Necronomicon or Grimoire of Ancient Worm with bright covers and pentacles drawn on them) That will certainly be noticed. You may make some amulets, yet hide them well. Also, avoid talking about your interests. Some people might then use this info against you or just start bullying.

And about the issue if you are able to perform magic or not, just try asking other questions first - can you dream of some things which are far from our terrestrial life, this mediocre existence? If you do, then you have the fantasy. And if you have a fantasy, then you have the greatest source of energy for your magic and magic itself.

There are no institutions anywhere where you can get some exam on your magic abilities or whatever) Just if you have interest in mystical things, folklore, or just horror fiction, then magic would be a nice hobby for you. And if you spend some time on it, you might even move your interest on a higher level and become a master of your subconsciousness and magic... It needs time. If you like it - it is yours, if you don't - it is not.

If one likes being a shephard, he won't be able to blacksmith. Yet, if he is a shephard who would like to try himself as a blacksmith, it is likely that he may succeed there.

How can I test and increase my magical ability if no spell I try works? Thanks for answering my question btw. :)

Hi, I'm quite a newbie myself, but from what I read basically insuccess in spellcasting is due to little belief. "But how I can believe in something I haven't seen in action yet?" I don't know and it bugs me just as much as it may bug you. That's why I'm on this Quest for Knowledge of mine. Oh, and for the fun of it!

Here are some useful books on starting out in magic and how to start out, remember this that there is no such thing as a beginner spell

Before You Cast a Spell: by Carl McColman

Spells and How They Work: by Janet and Stewart Farrar

The Veil's Edge: by Willow Polson

Modern Magick: by Donald Michael Kraig

Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner
By: Scott Cunningham

One last thing, How do I know which spells will work and which won't? For example, the Psi Ball thing, is that real?

So there's no such thing as elemental magic or werebeasts?

* These are just my personal opinions/ answers, someone else may have different ones*

First off, everyone is able to perform spells and rituals only if they real! Spells and rituals to shapeshift, flying, teleporting, etc... Those spells are fluff which is considered fake. I can link some links to spell casting and everything you need to know about it.

Secondly, just find someone books and websitessuch as these to learn more information and spells don't bother to find books if your parents might find them and throw them away it's a waste of money. ( I am assuming, you're underage since you wanna practice in secret, just assuming). Now, you do NOT need any tools or anything fancy or special to do magic all you really need it yourself! Some may arguesaying tools and other needs make a spell stronger.

Here are the links that are sure to help you!

Hope these helped you!

Is there any way to know if there is someone near me who can help me learn this stuff?

No way except asking about it. Or searching for those who like occultism in real life.
