Hi, I want to become a witch, but I don't know how to start? Do I have to do some type of ritual? Also anyone in the Orlando, Fl
area that would like to teach me?

Solitaries can self-dedicate with an oath or pledge but it’s not required - & best after a period of study so they know what they're getting into.

1. Study -
. Wicca-a Guide for the Solitary Practitioner by Scott Cunningham is a free PDF
. The texts Charge of the Goddess, & full Wiccan Rede are guidelines for practice
. Holidays represent nature’s cycles - 🎃 All-Hallows, 🕯Candlemas, 🌺May Eve & 🍞Loafmas
, Elements manifest intentions - 🌎 Earth,💦 Water, 💨Air, 🔥 Fire
. The 🪆Lady and 🦌Lord represent Nature’s duality

2. Build basic skills & a starter kit -
. Practice grounding your energy down the spine & into the earth for stability; centering - draw power on the breath to the belly; projecting - load-aim-push 👏🏽 and make psi balls between your hands; you’ll feel a subtle pushback, shake hands to clear.
. Test a few kitchen herbs🪴. Rub each between your fingers & sniff each. If a scent is attracting or repelling it suggests similar uses. 🧂Salt is used for purifying & ⚱️olive oil for anointing to hold a psychic charge.
. There’s magical potential in stones🪨 with unique markings⚡️& shapes💛🌙

3. Your Workspace -
. Prep: wipe table with salt-water, fume with incense, anoint with oil and magnetize 🙌🏽
. Gear: 🕯candles/holders,🍸H2O, 🧂salt, ⚱️Oil, incense💨 & burning bowl🥣
. Easy Circle: start & end at North; sprinkle area widdershins 🔄 with salt-water mix; light incense; then walk deosil ↩️,👆🏽Point & load-aim-push to cast the circle; salt-water & smoking incense introduces the 4 Elements 🌎💦 & 💨🔥. The circle dissipates when walked through.

4. About Spells -
. Select spell materials related to the goal by element, scent, color or suggestive appearance
. ⚪️ is all-purpose, ⚫️banish, 🔴vitality, 🟡intellect, 🟢prosperity, 🔵wellness & 🟣spiritual
. Incantations say only what you want results to be; rhyme helps but is t required
. Set intention - think of the goal; draw power on the breath; load-aim-push 🙌🏽
. A Few Spell methods -
. 🍾Bottle/jar for protection - add rusty nails, bent pins, salt, tangled thread, tin foil confetti, vinegar; 🙌🏽 to deflect harm; bury at door; OR as a wish spell - add goal-related herbs, stones, charms, petition, sigil, 🙌🏽 charge with intent & place on altar.
. 🕯Candle - dab/spread oil on a candle to hold the psychic charge; 🙌🏽 charge with intent while repeating your incantation; let candle burn completely out; discard stubs 🚮
. 🪢 Cord/9-knot - tie 1 knot in twine per each line of the rhyme -”By knot 1 the spell’s begun, by knot 2 it comes true, by knot 3 so it shall be, by knot 4 power is stored, by knot 5 the spell’s alive, by knot 6 the spell is fixed, by knot 7 it is given, by knot 8 it is fate, by knot 9 X is mine.” At a liminal hour undo the knots to free their power. Note - a binding spell is burned/buried with the knots intact.
. 📝 Petition - briefly write a goal on a small square of paper📝. Turn the paper 1/4 turn & overwrite the goal with the recipient’s name or initials & birthdate, turn the paper again 1/4 turn & overwrite all with your signature. What is over dominates what is under. Add petitions to any other spell.
. 💌 Pouch/Sachet - add herbs, charms and stones to a pouch & charge 🙌🏽; put in a pocket or under bed pillow.
. 🈂️ Sigil - briefly write the goal, cross out vowels & duplicte letters; rearrange & embellish the remaining letters to make an artsy hieroglyph; draw a circle around it and ✂️ cut it out. Anoint and charge 🙌🏽 with intent. Add sigils to other spells. If a sigil is the whole spell then burn or shred the paper at a liminal hour to release the power.
. ❇️ Stone “grid” layouts - lay 🪨,🍂,🐚,🌺,🪶 in geometric designs to radiate the goal outward; 🙌🏽 charge with intent. Remove when the energy dissipates.
. 🪨 Stone stroking - use to induce light trance. Sit & sway side-to-side while stroking a smooth stone & chant your incantation. Use your dominant hand to stroke with. Use any smooth stone that is comfy to hold & rub. Cleanse💦 a stone between uses.
