I would wait to do spells until you have all your information and research and do protection spells for your first spells. Also I wouldn’t do blood magick, as it is very powerful and can have major consequences if you don’t know what your doing, and spirit work or any work with deities.

once you realize that your manifestation is inevitable and that you can accomplish literally anything, life gets so much easier.
you can get literally anything you desire without having to lift a finger. how? because the law works that way.
so if you're stressing about time limits or worried you aren't "doing enough to manifest", relax. it's already yours. you don't need to stress about it.
This is a very simple, beginner method, but with enough practice things will get clearer, and you can see more at once.
1. Facing a white or black wall in good lighting, put you arm straight out in front of you with your palm facing the wall.
2. Spread your fingers, and look between them at the spaces. Keep your eyes relaxed and generally unfocused.
3. You should see an energy field around your fingers developing in your peripheral vision. It usually starts out clear, and with practice you see colour.
4. It may help to move your hand slightly. I find if I do this that the aura leaves a ‘trace’ for a few seconds, allowing me to see it clearly. Sending energy out of your hand or visualizing it becoming stronger also helps.
5. Keep practicing. In time you can see different layers and colours, on yourself as well as other people, coming from the entire body.
Hii! I keep hearing “release release release” how do I release? I’m not sure what I’m supposed to be releasing too
Releasing is process of transmuting feelings and working through old pain so it can be released from your mental/emotional/energetic body.
You should be releasing and working through emotions and emotional states that are getting in the way of you living fulfilled and meaningful life.
Magic exists. But don’t fool yourself into seeing it where it isn’t.
When your dream is about something you saw, heard or thought about in the last few days, it means nothing.
If you watched a documentary about tigers and you dream of a tiger, that is not a divine message. It is just your mind processing information.
But if you dream of being in a medieval banquet, when you have not watched an Arthurian film in months and have not thought about buffets in days, then you might be wandering in a past life.
When you are sleepy or lost in thought, and you find yourself seeing, hearing or smelling things that are not there, they mean nothing.
If you are daydreaming about going to Disneyland and you suddenly hear the sound of a carousel, you simply have an active imagination.
But if you are very focused on finishing a paper, and the words on your screen suddenly warp into the shape of a rollercoaster, then you are having a waking vision.
When the images you see are merely derived from the colors or marks on your scrying instrument, then you are not scrying.
If your crystal ball has a scratch in the shape of a musical note, and you see a piano, your mind is simply thinking creatively.
But if your scrying mirror is entirely spotless, and yet from its center, you see a detailed portrait emerging, only then are you really scrying.
When what you see on your altar are slight movements that take only a moment, your god did not create them.
If you are looking at Venus’ portrait while praying to her, and you see her smile for a second, you are only imagining it.
But if you see her running her hand through her hair while you hear the soft sound of her fingers against it, then she is hearing your prayer and enjoying your presence.
May we have the courage and sensibility to feel all the things that can't be seen.

In Mesoamerican culture, mirrors were seen as portals. Some say that these portals are from one dimension to another, and others say it is a portal to the realm of the dead. This is why many witches suggest covering your mirrors at night or if they are facing your bed. However, some may want to have the full convenience of not covering their mirrors at all, during any time of day. This is where locking mirrors comes in. Not only is it convenient, but it adds another layer of protection to your home. Wards mean nothing if you have an open portal to the dead in your bathroom.
How to lock a mirror:
Gather full moon water, florida water, or another protective liquid that won’t leave a stain on the mirror.
Wash (physically clean) and cleanse (spiritually clean) your hands. You can do this by running them under water or passing them through incense smoke.
Dip your fingers into the moon water, or whatever liquid you are using, and draw a pentacle or protective sigil on the mirror. Imagine the mirror closing (you can visualize this as a light behind the mirror fading, or metal bars locking in front of the mirror--whatever your mind’s eye sees the portal as).
Let the water on the mirror air-dry on its own.
i might do a more in-depth analysis of some of these deities’ lores later but for now here’s a short lil list. these are all deities i’ve either worked with or would like to work with in the future, so if you notice i’m omitting some that’s probably why (or i just forgot lol).
1. Bia - goddess of force and power
2. Morpheus - god of dreams
3. Nyx - goddess of the night and darkness
4. Aether - god of the upper sky
5. Phoebe - goddess of radiance and brightness
6. Hypnos - god of sleep
7. Psyche - goddess of the soul
8. Tyche - goddess of fortune (more famous by her Roman name, Fortuna)
9. Anagke - goddess of destiny
10. Echidna - goddess of monsters
11. Kronos - god of time and (sometimes) chaos (not necessarily lesser-known, i just don’t know anyone who’s worked with him)
12. Peitho - goddess of seduction and persuasion
13. Dike - goddess of justice
14. Sphrosyne - goddess of self-control
15. Terpsichore - goddess of singing and dancing
When performing a Celtic Cross, there are three cards that can reveal when the event will happen: the advice, the outcome, and the card at the bottom of the deck. While your intuition will tell you which is most likely, it is best to acknowledge all three possibilities.

The Magician – It has already begun
The High Priestess – You know exactly when
The Empress – During harvest season
The Emperor – It is almost done
The Hierophant – It is finished
The Lovers – As soon as you make the choice
The Chariot – In just a few moments
Strength – The minute you accept it
The Hermit – Only after you meditate on it
The Wheel of Fortune – During your first or next Saturn return
Justice – When you least expect it
The Hanged Man – When the circumstances change
Death – Whenever it is ready
Temperance – After the storm
The Devil – It is happening right now
The Tower – Soon, unexpectedly and suddenly
The Star – The more you believe, the sooner it will happen
