How to become a Witch.

    How does one become a witch? Where does one start? Well, anyone can become a witch, 

all you need to be a witch is you. You can use your visualizing and psychic abilities by practicing 

witchery.
 

    By casting spells and believing in our magic, we can manifest to our hearts desire.

    The next best thing we can do if we wish to practice witchery is to find a special place to practice and 

pick times to practice where we will not be disturbed. A pen and paper are really all you need to get 

started, even experienced witches use these tools.

    

    Every witch should have a B.O.S. as a reflective journal to write and practice spells etc. as I am doing in
 
this blog.



    Besides a BOS(Book of Shadows), Grimoire or spell book (which are all the same thing) and a pen and 

paper to write and perform spells... What else can we use?

   



Witch Tools:
 

    Primary: Pentacle, Athame, Wand, Chalice

    
    Pentacle: Disk with sigil or symbol (usually a star, or pentagram to represent elements) Disk symbolizes earth

 element.

    Athame: Sword or knife associated with the element fire.


    Wand: Associated with the air element 


    Chalice: Cup associated with the water element


Note: Wand and athame elements switched in some traditions.



    Other tools:


   

    Candles, Broom, Cauldron, Crystals, Incense, Shells, Feathers, Tarot cards, Oils, Pendulum. 

There are many things that witches use as tools. These are what I will primarily use.


    Altar:  A shrine or place where one may offer offerings (like chocolate and then eating it yourself after

 your ritual hehe..) Altars should be a safe space where one may practice their witchings. There are many 

options in creating alters and they should be unique to the witch. For example, I enjoy having a traveling 

altar in which I can practice witchcraft on the go. I will be making a video and sharing my altar for 

documenting purposes and also for ideas for new witches.

    

    In conclusion, anyone can be a witch, it doesn't take fancy equipment and starting is really simple. It's

 an enjoyable hobby and ritual that I have been enthralled with. I am so excited to be sharing what I 

have learned and what I will continue to learn throughout my experience. I hope you enjoyed this post 

and I hope it inspired you to go on your own witch journey.



What is your favorite primary witch tool? What is your favorite witch tool in general?




Love and light.

What is a Pentacle?

Image
    A Pentacle is a talisman or a disk shaped object  that commonly represents a star pointing  to all  the elements: Air, Earth, Fire, Water, Spirit.           Don't get Pentacle and pentagram mixed up, pentagram is the star symbol, pentacle is a star with circle  around it. Pentacle Art by Sarita Pentagram Art by Sarita      The Pentacle has been seen as good and bad throughout time, it is up to the witch to decide what it   means to them.     Common meanings: Elements:  As said before a pentacle commonly represents and points to the five elements: Air, Fire, Earth, Water and Spirit. Some say that the circle around the five elements contains the power of the witch and  the elements. Circle of Manifestation:  The circle around the star is thought to protect the witch, and meant to manifest to  the witches desire. Satanism:  Many see the star in a different light, if you flip the star to pointing down instead of up, this is seen as the goat of satan with the horns facing upward. We

The Elements In witchcraft.

Image
Art by Sarita     In nature there are four elements in which the world lives and breathes. In witchcraft, and other  traditions however, there is a fifth element... spirit.     A pentagram points to all the elements (as shown above.) In witchcraft we encompass these elements  with a protection or manifestation circle to balance certain aspects of our life. This is called a pentacle.  (As shown below.) Art by Sarita Now let's go over the elements and how they relate and can be used in witchcraft. Air:   This element is associated with intelligence, consciousness, creativity, beginnings and  intangibility.  without permanent form.  Color: Yellow Magic tool:  Wand Planet: Jupiter Zodiac:  Gemini, Libra, Aquarius  Elemental:  Sylph Direction:  East Moon Phase:  Waxing Season:  Spring Time of Day:  Sunrise Earth:  This element is associated with stability, being grounded, fertility, materiality, potential,  silliness, death and rebirth.

Dieties

Image
    Dieties are spirits, gods and or goddesses that one chooses to pray to and work with. Witches may  choose which spirit they wish to work with. You can work with different dieties for different  objectives  in life. It is not necessary for a witch to work with a diety or even have them at their altar.  Working with dieties is meant to be a fun and respectful practice for good. Photo from unsplash Diety Example list: Buddha Mother Earth (Mother nature) Ganesh Bast  Zues Ansestors           So many gods and goddesses are known for many different things. Different dieties possess different  powers. We may also call upon these dieties  to help us achieve our desires, based on their individual power. It is not required to work with dieties, and some witches prefer not to work with them. It is up to  the witch to decide what parts of witchcraft they will adopt into their practice.     Sometimes it does help to have symbols, pictures or figures present while practicing with the diety, but
