New to this Journey

Hello my follow witches! I am new to this journey, I always been drawn to this path but I am just now opening all the way to learn the path and love to meet new friends and getting any recommendations that can help me know where to start.

Merry Monday Silver,

I recommend to read to start, Wicca: For the Solitary Practitioner, Scott Cunningham; “Buckland’s Big Blue”, Buckland’s Complete Book of Witchcraft, Raymond Buckland; and A Witches Bible , Janet and Stewart Farrar. Witches Bible, is very ritualistic and is Garnerian (don’t worry, you’ll learn what that is), has very good background and knowledge. Buckland’s is a little lighter reading, and not quite as technical. Cunningham’s book is a very easy read and makes a lot of sense. I think Cunningham is the one to start with, and work up in difficult/technicalities, Buckland second, and Withes Bible, last. Hope this helps.:smiley:

I have a daily tarot pull, and a general discussion. The daily pull is under Feb tarot, I make it for each week. A general discussion I have labeled Water Cooler, and start a new one each month, so the postings won’t get too long.

Thanks you so much for taking the time to recommend some starting points for me. I will definitely look in to all of them. I want to learn as much as I can to help me grow. And I did see that post, I will take a look at that as well.

It really means a lot to me that you reached out. Thank you so much. :beating_heart: Blessed Be

Welcome! A Shaman here (same same as Hedge Witch) I now ask new witches if they’ve

found a local coven yet and if they have decided what kind of practice they are drawn to?

(I have links for both) Blessed Be!

Thanks, I am staying open right now since I am so new to everything I am not sure what path I may take yet. I have been unable to find a coven where I am located but I am not even sure where to look. I am hoping to find one that can help me learn and grow and as well as help me find my path. Here to new adventure.

Thank you so much for taking the time to welcome me.

Blessed Be

Here’s how I found the coven I’m in:

There are actually two by me, one is Alexandrian, I already had a Goddess so not compatible.

Fitting in with a local coven might be a deciding factor so l recommend looking into that first,

unless like many you wish to be a solo practitioner, which is also a popular path. Blessed be!

Merry Meet

I would also suggest reading many of the posts/threads here. We represent a very wide range of personal practices and reading what others post may help you refine your own interests. Brightest Blessings!

If you cant find a coven, a mentor is another good option.
Make sure there are no red flags with them and that they are right for you.
A mentor can be in person or online.

Both good suggestions. I’m fortunate the second coven was eclectic so accepts this silly shaman.
