Why I Started My Practice
Hewo! So, my practice started when I was being harrased by a whole group of sparrows seemed to be following me and hovering over my house. That was the beginning of it. They'd tap on my window, fly overhead when I was outside, but they disappeared on a Friday.
The next thing that started happening was I kept seeing figures and/or voices wherever I was. I once sat in my room one evening and then a tall shadow figure stood at the end of my bed and started sprinting away when I looked at it.
I also then started having weird dreams, dreams that were generally about me before something really bad happened and people in these dreams knowing who I was and urging me to leave this place because I was the one person who could escape. That was why I started my practice.
How I Started My Practice
What I began doing when I started my practice was putting eggshells near entrances to my room, making protective jars and a banner to hang above my bed saying things such as "I am protected" and "I am safe and prosperous", while researching. These sort of paranormal occurrences had been happening for years, I'd have dreams that would come true, I'd remember things from when I was really young that didn't make any sense because I shouldn't have been able to remember and I remembered silhouettes of tiny people and I'd lose things frequently. So I decided, I'm going to protect myself from whatever this is, because it's obvious they're feeding off of it.
And then I find out about numerology and astrology and I was born on a SUPER MOON?! from my sister, so the dots were finally adding up.
Tips From A Witch
If you're going to enter witchcraft, please do your research because my belongings getting lost, things popping up in random places, SILOHUETTES OF TINY PEOPLE were actually the Fair Folk and if I accepted those gifts I was going to be in some big trouble. If you're wondering what to research I strongly recommend researching:
-Your ancestry. It may help you find out what they were drawn to and give you a place to start sculpting your path. I have a Celtic background, so my path would be slightly different from someone of African descent. This also can help you find out what practices you are welcome to or not.
-Your birthchart. I think looking up your birthchart is a really great way of discovering things about yourself and it's cute to see how compatible you are with people. For example, as a Taurus, I have heaps of Virgo and Cancer friends.
-Protection wards, sigils and spells. My main problem that brought me to witchcraft was the fact I was allowing things that weren't human to latch themselves onto me and I couldn't protect myself from them.
-Methods of cleansing. If something does come in or you just get bad vibes know what works for you to fix it.
-The different paths. Find out what kind of witch you want to be!! I'm a green witch, so I like plants and vibing in moss because that's me, and you need to find you! Don't feel as if you have to work only within that label, because hey, I am so intensely fascinated by dead things, corpses and just death in general, because I was seeing ghosts and felt entities presences all the time. That doesn't sound so much like a green witch, but that doesn't mean I can't do it. Find out what interests you, shape your practice for you.
Blessed Be
