Greetings All
I am very very new to the world of Magic & Witchcraft. I am wanting to learn so much about the history and literally everything I can. I was curious to know what advice y’all can give to to start my journey? I feel this is my calling in life and I need peace & serenity. I appreciate all that feel a calling to help me on this journey with me…
Blessed Be
Welcome! Thanks for joining our online coven 
Great question. We each have our own journey, but I started through reading books (these are some of my favorite: 5 of the Best Books for Beginner Witches | The Pagan Grimoire) and then diving into the types of magic I felt most called to.
At the end of the day, I believe it’s all about mindset, practice, and intention. The more you practice, the more confident you tend to feel as you believe more in your self-efficacy.
But, at the beginning it does feel like a lot.
What aspects do you feel most called towards?
Your answer might be yes to all the above. But, let us know if any particular direction is calling you the strongest.
Merry Meet!! I am an exclectic witch, myself, meaning I don’t shoose only one or two things to follow. I found out thru Ancestry DNA that I have Celtic/Norse origins, so I’m following that path. Along the way I have started tarot, I do a ittle divination although that is really mors of a “practice” effort I am working on, and I adore crystals!! Tha being said, Amy Cesari has many amaziing books on witchcraft on Amazon, relatively reasonable priced. They also double ass adult coloring books!!! So, you get to be creative and learn too! I love her books.
I have set my alter up (sorry for such a delay in response. Life 
I think for me currently I’m interest in learning the history and physiological side.
I know this is an old thread but would like ask questions anyway. Maybe revive the thread. I would love to learn about different types of divination and dive deeper into tarot. I am slowly opening up my Clair’s and have been practicing/learning about tarot for about a year. Mostly I just do readings for myself because I don’t have the confidence and knowledge yet to read for others. I have an interest in crystals and would like to learn more about herbs and holistic medicine. Wow, that’s a lot. Sorry, lol
Merry Meet!
Whatever form of divination you choose, I think it is very important that you feel a strong connection with it, it should be a part of you, an outer expression of your soul. Know that you are connecting with the infinite power of the universe. When you realize this, your confidence will not be an issue.
I do some work with herbs and essential oils. I use essential oils every day in one way or another. I have an old recipe for Flying Ointment that I have been tempted to try but have never taken the plunge - mostly because every plant in it is highly toxic, like Bella Donna and Henbane - two of the ingredients. 
These days I mostly use…well, I don’t mostly use any one tool. It depends on what type of issue I am divining. These are some of the divining items on or under my altar: A mirror my grandmother gave me that belonged to her mother, my Black Mirror, my “bag of bones”, Tarot, willow wands, elder wands, brass wands, pendulums of various crystal, runes, stones, a large crystal ball (No one needs a crystal ball!), two smaller spheres of different materials, and some other things.
It may seem like I have a lot of divining tools, and by some standards I suppose I do, but it is like any other specialty, one tends to acquire more and more tools specific to one’s interest. I was a witch before I was born. It isn’t something I do, it’s who I am.
Stick with your Tarot, talk with them, hold them at least once every day. It sounds like you are very close to the feeling of connecting with an old friend every time you handle them - if you aren’t already there. You can branch out to other forms of divination if and when you want to. You’ll know because your cards will tell you and you’ll feel it. Brightest Blessings!
