A few tips for the new year
Start your day with meditation.
This is something I read in one of
the first witchy books I ever had. Naturally, I don’t remember what the book
was titled or who wrote it but it speaks to me more now that I am an older
witch. It really will help to open your mind and energies to start your day off
right.
2. Find a balance between your mundane life and witchy workings.
I don’t think enough witches take
this into consideration. Some might think you can’t be a proper witch if you don’t
look a certain way or act a certain way every moment of every day. Being a
witch isn’t the items around you or how you act. Being a witch is who you are.
Finding the balance, what does that really mean?
Well, you probably can’t cast spells
at work or doodle in your grimoire in class. You also don’t want to bring your
calculus homework into your sacred space. You also might not want to change
diapers on your altar.
3. Don’t
worry about not having all the things right away.
It can be very tempting to go into a
metaphysical shop and spend your entire paycheck on all the cool witchy
things you find. It takes a lot of years to accumulate all the tools you
will want to use. Make your own when possible, the tools will be infused with
your energy and will be more powerful.
4. It’s
ok to not be perfect.
No one is perfect. Magic is a
practice, and it takes time to get good at it. I can’t really say that any of
the spells I did during my first two years came outright. But during that time
I got pretty good at divination and reading auras.
Much later I got pretty good at
protection spells and found out that the line between the dark and light isn’t
easy to keep in balance. It is really easy to do harm when you are furious.
If that is your goal, so be it. But I had to learn to be patient and let go of
the negative before I do spell work.
I hope these tips come in handy for
you
