Hi, I’m new here and a baby witch. I’ll probably echo many previous posts but I’ve been exploring things and since I’m trying to go solo (not really much of options either in family or outside to guide and avise while also staying in the broom closet mostly, partner is neuttal supportive but others would probably be negative) I really need a community to help make sense of things. I’m mildly neuro divergent and while i know witchcraft is a very fluid and intuitive art some things i need to understand before i can tackle and feel them…so yeah i have a few questions which go beyond the traditional ‘how do i start’ or ‘how do i make moon water’ because of all the books and articles I’ve read they don’t give me answers to my obsessive need for specific clarity. I hope i can find some ideas from more experienced people here and I’d really appreciate it like A LOT
If anyone can clarify to me for example how do i count the days of the week. (and yes it sounds like an idiotic question, i know! But please hear me out) If i want for example to do the Saturday cleansing but i mostly have a chance to practice at night when nobody can see or hear, do i have to do it before midnight Sat->Sun or does after midnight of Sat-> Sun still count as Saturday energy? Same goes for all kinds of time or day practice. Does midnight count? Also for example the change of astrological sign (i.e. moon in Scorpio) does it have to be on the dot as per the astrological charts (Daff moon user here) or is it like cooking where a pinch or handful can be anywhere between 5 and 50 gr?
Or another question that’s been driving me nuts.
Moon water. i use Daff moon app and according to it for example the upcoming blue moon where i live is bow horizon during night time and thw exact time of full moon above horizon in during daytime. So how am i supposed to get moon water? Cause i really want some blue moon water to try out…
Another question that I’ve been banging my head against hard surfaces over are candle sizes. I use small or cut long ones into cake size because I’m trying to be discreet and i can’t burn coloured candles for too long. But I’ve seen lots of videos of rituals talking about letting a candle burn down and showing these huge candles that would take the entire night or more. Does it matter if my candle burns down in like fifteen/twenty minutes vs 9 or more hours ones? Or if some rituals talk about burning this huge candle for a week, do i get a big one and split it evenly to 7days or can i use multiple small ones?
Yeah sorry for a long intro and maybe silly questions but as much as I’ve been looking into it nobody talks about this, encouraging fluidity and freedom and intuition which doesn’t unfortunately help me. And i guess for people who don’t get hung up on the details it’s ok but yeah for me it’s very overwhelming.
Thank you for your time if you’ve read this far
Blessed be
Sādhu!
