New green witch Aspiring.

Hello and welcome fellow aspiring witch! 😄😄

Well you have so many questions and it's great to have a place to ask them! Magic is certainly not something that you want to step into without much care and concern for things. It's like dealing with electricity. You dabble too much in the unknown without proper guidance and initiation, and you can get electrocuted! That is how many people have negative experiences.

I would say make your practice around what suits you. But from my own Journey, if you don't mind, I would like to offer a few words of advice as wisdom and also precaution to take with you along the way.

I would also like to suggest that you might want to start reading about magic from books by a group of authors known as the "gallery of magick". This is a group of occult practitioners who have spent decades in the craft walking the same Journey. They have experimented and practice many types of magic and not without going straight to the most ancient sources to make discoveries and find out what works, for themselves. They also have many books on Magic calling on different types of entities, diffe types of magick, so that you start to get to know what you're dealing with. And how to do so safely. From those who truly know what they're doing! You can buy the gallery of magick books on Kindle through Amazon for like 4 or $5 a piece. I have worked through several of their books of magic and had absolutely immense success!

Before I share those words of wisdom, as an aside, so that you know a little bit of my background, I am a professional psychic who works through the akashic records to do Soul healing to address any sort of negative emotional, mental, physical or situational patterns and symptoms or concerns that my clients might have. This can have to do with any area of life. I also do entity or Spirit removal, cleanse properties, remove spells, curses, spiritual implant devices and other such soul level mechanisms which have become a negative influence to a person's life.. my purpose is to be a keeper of neutrality and a teacher of love and compassion to all.

That being said, because I do entity removals, I have much experience with various types of entities and have had a lot of experience also doing demonic and Angelic Magic, Jinn Magic and other forms of magic involving entities, since I'm used to dealing with them regularly.

So that is my background...

For a newcomer to the path, I would share this wisdom with you... These are what I would consider Basics, but truly need to be adhered to in any magical or spiritual practice. Because these are the fundamentals that I have gathered up from many practices which have made my own practice safe and fulfilling. And the good news is that they can be applied to any practice.

When performing magic, emotional Alchemy is key. Transforming, transmuting one emotional state of being into another... This shift inside of you informed reality how to reshape in order to align to your new state of being. The shift inside of us is what creates our new reality.

Ritual is an operation of reality manipulation, not a chore to be completed. Approach it with sincerity but did not do too much needless magic or feel the need to do too many rituals. Also, too many rituals at once will really weaken your focus and cause your results to become less Dependable when your focus is spread too thin. So strategize and don't burn out using up your willpower on unnecessary spells. Use your magic and energy wisely. Also remember that worrying about the magic ruins it.

Don't demand that any magick or entity works for you. just expect it to work because you believe that the Universe has got your back. Just "know" things will happen. Be flexible and open to the results that you get I never tell magic how to fulfill your desire. Just be open to opportunity that it allows to Flow To You. Always look for signs of the working that you have done and put in at least some small effort in the real world toward your desire. This lets the universe know that you're serious about what you want. You we'll also want to make sure that you actually truly want the result that you are magically asking the universe to assist you in achieving.

Most importantly, make sure that you are not asking for something for someone else, unless you know that they actually want it. Even if it seems out of your own good intention, you do not know another person's will or their complete situation. This is considered an interference of free will,and might possibly inhibit their own free will. This is against Divine universal law and there can be karmic consequences.

Find a way to do everything out of love, too. There is always immediate karmic consequence or energetic backlash when doing something out of vengeance, anger, negative intention of any kind, Revenge Etc. I have experienced this firsthand, and I have removed and had to address these types of situations with clients. Because negative intention always comes back to you and becomes a soul level wound that can be carried with you through all life times. It will cause you to draw a lot of negativity to yourself and a lot of pain and other hurt to yourself. Magic like curses and hexes are also a mechanism of soul level entity attachment. And if you do a curse or hex on somebody and you die before that person dies, it is possible that if you have not energetically resolve that situation with the other person in this lifetime, you will become an entity attachment to that other person, or the other person will become an entity attachment on you. I have had to remove many past life soul attachments and even deal with full on possession situations, in such types of circumstances with clients.

Okay, so that is my pre caution. And that is why I say do everything out of love or find a way to do it out of love or desire to protect or do something positive for someone else. So if you need to block someone out of your life, don't do it out of anger toward that person, do it out of love of other people so that you can protect those other people from the negative influence of the bad guy! Does that make sense? And I don't know if I should divulge this here but I will... But doing things out of love is what circumvents karmic consequence.

" my people are not bound by the law of this world" -jesus.. the law this world being Karma, and Jesus's people being any of those who follow him in the footsteps of practicing compassion kindness and love.

Now, back to practical magical tips, you will also before a ritual want to cleanse and sanctify your space and your tools and reagents, as you had previously stated. And when opening any portals, calling on entities, opening a circle Etc always set the intention for what you will allow into your Sanctified space. Also make sure you CLOSE your circle or portal so that you do not have an open Highway from the astral planes running through your house! If the energy in your space starts to feel unsettled, unsafe, or as though there's something there that you do not welcome, do a banishing ritual, or the easiest thing is call on the archangels or do an Angelic banishing ritual which can be found in those books from the gallery of magick. These are very quickly done and can be said aloud or in your head and practiced anywhere for a little space cleansing and banishing.

I would definitely suggest reading any of the gallery of magick books about working with different types of entities, but especially the ones on demon or jinn Magic, at least the front part of the book, because it will tell you how to treat entities that you are asking for assistance. It will describe very well to you that you always need to maintain that you are in control. No entity needs any form of sacrifice. Some practitioners would consider that this is simply a form of energy exchange, which it is, but you can give gratitude as an energy Exchange! I enjoy eating really amazing yogurt as energy exchange, or drinking my favourite chai latte... sheer pleasure!. Sacrifice or other forms of reward that you might give an entity can sometimes become a sort of mechanism of attachment and the entity may start hanging around even when you don't want them there. They can kind of become like vultures depending on what it is. So just read up on whatever it is you're wanting to start calling into your space and make sure that any offering you're wanting to make is a positive energetic exchange out of gratitude and significant to the intention of your work. But personally I would say it's never completely necessary. Not with anything. You want to be careful that through offerings or sacrifices you are not giving control to The Entity. Or making them feel like they will not assist you unless they get an offering!

Another absolutely most important thing to remember when dealing with entities is that you are the one in the physical body physically incarnated with power of creation. You are always in control. Assert that. Never give your free will away to anything or Anyone. Always always always always always. Your will be done. Never forget that. And never let an entity make you feel as though you are not in control. If anything tries to Take Over Control of you it is negative and it is not good for you.

All forms of magic, even if there are many deities and entities, always go back to one universal Creator and source of all creation all living things all magic all source of power and all sour of life. You should always go directly to the very highest source to get the best magic result. And also go directly to the highest source to confirm your authority over any other entity that might come in and try to take control over you and your situation by exerting their will upon you instead of the other way around.

Remember that not all entities are positive, many are neutral, some are definitely positive. But many will lie to you, try to trick you, try to speak through you or gain some sort of interaction with the world through you. Many will also want to feed off of your experience in the world as a form of offering, because they are not in a physical body to enjoy the pleasures of this world. They cannot do what we do. So just make sure to take your precautions and sanctify your space.. and practice safely. Always you are your best psychic through your own intuition. That is your most powerful tool in this work. So always go with your gut feeling. You can dabble gradually and get the feel for what resonates with you.

And if you feel like anything has ever gone wrong, or you feel scared or as though there might be a negative entity or anything like that, just let me know, and we'll get it figured out together.

As for your book of shadows, doesn't wonderlust have a video post about Book of Shadows on her YouTube? I can't remember who I heard it from but keep a junk Book of Shadows so that you can scribble in one, and then go back later into your nice book of shadows and make it pretty and organized. I keep many many notebooks around so that I can write stuff down and write spells or ideas or sigils or whatever comes to me. And I'll fill them out like a book of shadows completely and use the whole thing, but then later I organize things that I have learned and experienced and put them all together in my nice Book of Shadows.

Hope that helps!

Gallery of magick also has spell books for protection rituals. Very effective Magic

When dealing with entities, you may also want to keep a journal for yourself kind of like a book of shadows, but write your experience what you notice before during and after your spell work. And anything that doesn't feel like you or natural to you or it feels out of place within you... Make a note of that, because it might be something from the outside coming in to interfere. Like an entity or something trying to attach to you.
