This old Q was never replied to. So, better late than ignored IMO.

Some guidelines ...

Honor the Lady and the Lord of Nature
. The Wiccan Rede long form & Charge of the Goddess are guidelines for practice; the Legend of the Descent of the Goddess is basic history
. Holidays are the Earthโ€™s cycles - ๐ŸŽƒAll-Hallows, ๐Ÿ•ฏCandlemas, ๐ŸŒธMay Eve & ๐ŸžLoafmas
. Nature is generally perceived as divine with two forces: The ๐ŸŒ™ Goddess and The ๐ŸฆŒGod who have many names, ex., Diana and Cernunnos. Deities are viewed as representing Natureโ€™s duality & as aspects of The Goddess & God, & as Beings all at the same time.
. Goddess titles: Primordial Star Goddess, Triple Goddess Maid-Mother-Crone, Mother Earth, Lady o/t Sea, Mother Goose.
. God titles: Horned Lord of Death & Rebirth, Forest King-the Elder, Corn King-the Younger, Green Man, Santa Claus
. The elements manifest intent - Earth ๐ŸŒŽsolids, Water ๐Ÿ’ฆliquid, Air ๐Ÿ’จvapor & Fire๐Ÿ”ฅplasma

Honor Nature in Ritual
. Daily- Extend your subtle senses to your surroundings; greet the "Genius Loci" where you are
. On holidays & full moons, cast circle & greet the spirit of the season; share cakes & ale ๐Ÿฅ๐Ÿบ
. Place offerings directly on the ground either during or after the rite

A Simple Rite
. Place gear inside your workspace; Start & end each pass at the north
. Sweep ๐Ÿ”„ to remove stagnant energy. Light some incense. Walk deosil โ†ฉ๏ธ to project the circle.
Optional: If you call the quarters you must also dismiss; & if you welcome Deity you must also farewell
. Do what you came for - worship, meditation, divination, spells
. A simple circle dissipates by walking through it

Honor Frequencies
. Supplies represent elements: Air๐Ÿ’จincense - Fire๐Ÿ•ฏcandles &โšฑ๏ธoil - Water H2O ๐Ÿ’ฆ,โ˜•๏ธ,๐Ÿซ– - Earth๐Ÿง‚salt,๐Ÿชดherbs & ๐Ÿชจstones
.

If you have Amazon Prime they have a free Wicca and Witchcraft class. It's very basic starter and free. Just ask Alexa to search for it.
