Hello. I am very new to this and have no idea what I am doing lol. I have always felt a pull to the mystical spiritual side of life but even act upon it until recently, A couple of month ago actually, I couldn’t ignore it anymore. Since I am new to this I was wondering if anyone have any suggestions and book for research. I don’t wan to go into this blind.

In addition to KaliMonsterrs great answers, I would also like to recommend "Psychic Witch" by Mat Auryn + any books from the following lists: https://warriorwitchnike.com///beginner-books/ and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HP7Rqo8VGwg. I'm gonna speak from my own experience now, when it comes to energy work, meditation and visualization is a big part of it for me. To ground, you can visualize your legs firmly rooting into the ground, like roots of a tree. Olivia talks about grounding a bit more in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6oxStkMXxo. Focus on yourself and your energy, visualize it, get familiar with it like Kali said and don't be super hard on yourself. Energy work is a skill and has to be practised. Once you get the feeling of your energy down, you can practise manipulating it a bit more.
Thank You so much
I Always recommend Grovedaughter Witchery for brand new beginners since it’s full of very good, practical guidance about the practice of witchcraft with no religious context involved. I also feel Witchery: Embracing the Witch Within is a good beginners book.
as for what to focus on first with magic, we’re i you I’d get very comfortable learning cleansing spells/practices, protection spells/practices, and getting comfortable manipulating your own energy as this will assist in you manifesting! I’d also practice centering, and grounding.
Thank you so much.. this is probably a stupid question. To focus on manipulating my energy and centering/grounding myself. do I keep meditating or is there something else I need to do?
@Sbaswell meditation and visualization is a great way to start! get familiar with how your energy feels, what it looks like to you. Does it make your fingers tingle? Or warm? Ask yourself these questions c:
Experience leads to the true beauty to be upheld...your journey began at the conception in your minds eye...that connection allows for growth into what you choose to do...love...Bart, thanks for a good question...have a true day and night.
