Everything Under the Moon

1. Some tips for self directed study -
. Use traditional texts as guidelines for practice - the Charge of the Goddess, Wiccan Reed
. Holidays represent nature’s cycles - all-hallows, 🕯Candlemas, May Eve & Loafmas & full moon
. The Goddess & God represent Nature’s duality
. The ritual circle, ritual tools & altar are optional but do define a Wiccan-specific practice
. Wicca for Beginners by Thea Sabin ($12) & Wicca Book of Spells by Lisa Chamberlain ($6)

2. Make a suitable worship/work-space within your means. There’s no rule that gear must come from specialty shoppes or copy ceremonial magicians. Dollar stores are go-to resources.
. Start-up gear: incense, 🕯candles, cup; oil, salt. palm-stone, herbs
. Easy circle - start & end @north; spritz mixed + , light, point & push to cast

3. Practice skills - 10 min daily.
. Ground yourself by thinking of energy moving down the spine from crown to heel & into the earth.
. Focus: Gaze at a candle flame 🕯 & don’t let the mind wander.
. Make psi-balls between your hands; think it & pull power to the solar plexus, push from the belly & out hands. Move hands back & forth to feel a subtle pushback.

4. About Spells:
. Know your intent - to attract, to repel or to empower something.
. Select materials related to the goal by element,suggestive scent or appearance.
. If something is a relevant symbol to you then use it.
. Use positive, present-tense phrasing to say the results you want & don't say what you don't want.
