New to the craft

Greetings from GeminiBen,

Hello everyone. I would like to introduce myself, I’m a 61 year male new to the craft and am currently researching as much as I can about witchcraft. All my life I’ve felt drawn to nature.

I am so lucky that my wife is encouraging and very supportive in my pursuit I’ve already started with the basics, I’ve set up my alter following the guidelines recommended and have tried to do some spell jars using herbs and crystals sealing each one with intention and candle wax. I know this will be a long journey with setbacks along the way. Im so grateful to have found this site and reading the posts I know help is there if I need it,

Thank you

Welcome!

I’m also an older male witch, glad you’re here. I began with Candle Magic really, everything grew

from there. This is a friendly place, with a huge resource as the web page.

Terrific Tuesday Gemini,

I am sooooo happy you have found your place, in life, here with us, and with your woman!!:wink:

Before you go into buying all the “goodies”; witchcraft is INTENT!! Not how many times you turn around, or say your “hail mary’s” or which color candle you burn…..it is about your will.

Personally, I use very little “stuff”. I believe in the power of the spoken word, “and God said, let there be light…” and it was so….so, I do not rely on things. It is all about what you manifest into existence. I always suggest, very easy to start….sun and moon water.

I put water in a jar (I use a washed pickle jar, need glass!!), with my Amythest crystal, and chant…. __(goddess of choice, water) thank-you for my water; __(goddess of choice, sun) please send your sensational sunbeams into my water…..ladies thank-you for your blessings today…namaste (abrakadabra….whatever you choose), and place on a window sill.–at eventide, bring the water in, pour into a glass, cup, jar…and bless __(goddess of choice, I use Tiamat) please take this water to repair my___….namaste/abrakadabra. Make moon water, I use a moonstone…refill the jar, _Hanwi of the moon, please send your magnificent moonbeams into my water tonight…..namaste/abrakadabra–place on the sill until morning. Remove from window, pour into your container…thankyou, Hanwi for your magnificent moonbeams, please Tiamat, use this water to repair my __(which ever part of you needs healing), namaste/abrakadabra.

Daily…sun and moon water…..within 6 months, people were commenting on how much better/well I looked. My doctor tests came back better than in over a decade!!!:hushed_face:

Yes, Intent, makes the difference. Start small and see where the cosmos leads you.
