I'm a baby witch, and for the moment mainly just researching witchcraft. I have an anxiety disorder and have always been very afraid of anything to do with the spirit world (with the exception of nature spirits). I guess what I'm asking is if it's possible to practice without coming into contact with spirits?

Hello! A lot of spirits won't bother to try and contact you if you don't make the first move. If you specifically state that you do not wish to be contacted by any spirits, I doubt they will try to contact you anyway. And if they do, you can still ask them to not contact you again and ignore them. Be careful with how you word things, do not be disrespectful to them. Just because you don't work with them doesn't mean that you don't need to respect them.
Corvins answer is awesome. Honestly I think your going to be surprised. Craft working and all around it can actually be of great use in decreasing anxiety issues. This type of anxiety in which i completely understand can cause people to not do anything at all just in the fear of the "What ifs".Id say take your time and focus on getting a great foundation and grounding. Yes you can do great in your craft path without the use any deity/entity involvement at all. When you start out the personal energy work that you will discoverer is beautiful,mind blowing,uplifting all within itself..and that's not even getting into other nature energies yet.
