Welcome to WitchingSecrets.com – your resource for learning Witchcraft and Wicca.
What Is Witchcraft All About?
It is amazing to note that even in today’s world, witchcraft is looked upon as something evil. People who follow this faith are often said to adore the devil himself. This is far from the truth. Just like in all facets of life, there are bad sheep everywhere; but that is no reason to label witchcraft as an evil.
Witchcraft and Wicca is actually a very gentle faith and can even be a lot of fun. People who practice this faith will never be standing in the streets trying to convince you to join in. They are happy with their faith and welcome anyone who wishes to join. You are given a chance to decide for yourself and you can take your time. Nor do you have to leave your existing beliefs behind. There is no pressure on you to join a coven and you may practice in your home whenever you find time.
The basis of witchcraft is nature and it goes hand in hand with nature rather than against it. It has nothing to do with black magic. No doubt it involves magic but it is the kind of magic that is generously available in the world. Witchcraft believes in doing no harm to any living being, no matter if it is a human, animal or plant. Witchcraft is nothing like what you see in the movies; a witch will not fly about on brooms nor do they assume another form or put life back into the dead.
So does that give you enough reason to adopt witchcraft? It doesn’t matter whether you want to adapt new beliefs or you are just inquisitive about spells, you need to know some fundamental facts. For example, studying about energy is emphasized in all occult practices. So if you are interested in witchcraft, you must know about energy. Everything in witchcraft is run on energy and emotion; it doesn’t matter whether you are a beginner or a seasoned practitioner of witchcraft. A ritual minus the energy is like a vehicle without fuel.
Energy is everywhere and it constantly surrounds us. Energy is a force which holds the entire universe together. When you begin studying witchcraft, you will be required to spend some time daily to meditate, relax and feel the energy about you. Observe your breathing as you take in long and deep breaths. Breathing and meditating are great ways to generate energy.
Begin by building a set of magic tools. A good witch is required to have certain tools like a wand, a pentacle, an altar with a cloth, various herbs and candles of various colors among other items. All these are essential tools if one is to take up witchcraft seriously.
It is also extremely important for a new witch to learn about magickal correspondences. You are required to study the magickal correspondences of the days, hours, moon phases, elements, cardinal directions, crystals, herbs and so on. There are a lot sources online which help you learn about magickal correspondences for witchcraft. You may even begin by opening your book of shadows (a witches journal or diary) and noting down everything you learn. You don’t need to have a lot of experience for this. All you have to do is put down your thoughts, notes and dreams. Note down all you experiences and before long you might even find yourself writing spells and practising magick!
However, it gets easier if you get suitable witchcraft training. No doubt you can do it on your own too, but it’s easier when you find instructional material. If you get a teacher to continuously train you, the process gets faster and helps you concentrate on areas you require to understand better. Books are yet another source from which to learn and you can get plenty which provide you with superb training programs for beginner or advanced witchcraft.

how to connect to all this thing and how to become a witch?
Like any new interest, just read about it! You can take as long as you like to learn about it. The Dummies books give a good overview on Wicca and witchcraft. In the end some people ‘get it’ and some people don’t …. it’s a personal thing. If you want to start practicing the craft quickly, then get a copy of the Old Witchcraft recommended on this site which starts you off learning spells and understanding where your energy lies straight away. For some the practical approach is better than the theory.

Jessie, I cannot see why you need to hide this. It is not evil. It is spiritual. I can see why people are misled by the idea that we are somehow in league with the Devil, but actually the Devil is a Christian concept and we do not have such gods. You can of course use the art of witchcraft in an unwise manner, but most of us would not, in fact dare not for fear of reprisal by the law of three. Perhaps you could tell your mom you are interested in natural religion, a natural energy seeker – leave the wicca/witchcraft bit out for a while? As for books, if money is tight – visit the library. If they dont have anything (but i am sure they will) they will get in any book you like on order. Check Amazon reviews. You could buy second hand on Amazon. It is quite a long learning process but worth it. Juno
