Common misconceptions

-Magick is not inherently evil, nor tied to evil, etc.

-All witches are not satanists, …But, some are!!!

-You don’t need to spend money to get started!

 

MAGICK is different from what is seen in most books, movies, television, & other media. It is a series of techniques used to manifest by harnessing energy (both internally and externally) in order to change yourself and/or your surroundings.

 

How do I get started?

My advice is to meditate! Self reflection is going to be so important in your craft. As you dive into your journey, reflect on what it is you are drawn to about witchcraft and what you’re hoping to get out of it. Go slow and start with the basics!
