I donât know much on deity work due to it being person and different for everyone, I donât do deity work or worship any gods/goddesses. To start with deity work I would start by looking into what god is to you, and what faith means to you, there are a bunch of deities from other religions and I canât say much on those either, itâs all different for everyone, if you search around for deity work you might find some of others peoples takes on how their practice is with them and that might give you an idea:) I like history books on witchcraft it gives you some deities that are from that time period
Now for spirit work, go for it if you want to! Itâs a screw around and find out, that is how witchcraft is! just make sure you have a protection intention before you start:)
And for researching other information, I like books, but YouTube is the best place or here, I have found my practice through YouTube and Tumblr:) I like Scott Cunningham for books, but I also LOVE the book Wicca made easy by Phyllis Curott, it may be a religion but still has really nice practices that I have incorporated into my practice!
Are there any âbaby witchesâ or beginner witches out there that have any questions?
Would love to help out or hear your thoughts an questions!

Youâre very welcome! These are just some idea to help you get started, they are by all means not very traditional to pagan/Wiccan religions, I am not religious so I can only speak on what I do and my take on them:) but I hope these helped get you started!â¨blessed be!
Hey there! I'm newer (about a year or so) to celebrating the sabbats and was wondering what you like to do for each? I've looked at different online spaces and have found some pretty cool traditions. Blessings for you!
I usually tend to forgot about most of them due to regular life and not being used to celebrating them yet. But I usually do some circle casting and little prayers with intentions of what the sabbat is known for.
What I like to do for all of the sabbats is colour code my outfits of jewelry, and carry a round the crystals that correspond with the sabbat thatâs my way of celebrating them mostly when I am busy
Samhain: I just do my normal Halloween celebration with my family and put skulks/bones on my altar
Yule: I made a Yule log but also celebrated Christmas, I also gather some slow water and put cinnamon sticks out on my alter
Imbolc: I usually like to light more candles the usual and listen to music more, and also celebrate Valentineâs Day, and take a moment to look at my dreams and goals and manifest them
Ostara: I like to do a spring renewal chant with a element and earth invocation and celebrate Easter a little bit, taking the time to honor the balance of things (day and night, light and dark) putting little rabbits on my altar
Beltaine: I have celebrated maypole a few times in the past, I also like to celebrate this sabbat a lot more with colour coronation than anything else, I also like to get mini maypoles and out ribbon around them, I also tied ribbon to trees(collecting them after beltaine is over of course, unless nothing can be harmed by them) I also like to have some ribbon cuttings on my altar
Litha: I put flowers on my altar, I like to meditate on my energy to push forward my dreams and goals for my yoga practice I like to dance through it at this time to celebrate Litha
Lughnasadh: I like to make a symbol that reminds me of my goals and carry it around with me, I also like to make some bread as an offering to the earth, I would also eat some and then leave some for the earth on line a rock, for animals and such, I also like to do spells for nourishment, patience, and strength for my goals
Mabon: I like to carry around acorns and put them on my altar, put some flowers as well on my altar, I also like to do a reflecting spell that gets rid of what doesnât serve my growth or happiness anymore, a time for transformation
I hope this helps a little bit! - thank you so much for the ask! :D blessings to you as well!!â¨đ¤

I wanna say these can all be more of personal preferencesâŚbut
Iâve bought every single one of my tarot decks, thatâs old tradition
I never did an egg cleanse spell for my first spell with spells it can be more of a âscrew around and find outâ type deal, I didnât know what I was doing just have to experiment hah
Cleanse with selenite or sound, or incense or water - you donât have to do a whole spell
I have touched other peoples tarot decks too, like friends and such
I didnât learn how to do protection spells as my first spells, Iâm still heređ
Iâm also not into spirit work or religious so I canât say anything to that
I do have to really agree with things donât need to be expensive at all! I use a stick I found outside for my wand most of the time now, however I did get a $80 wand way before I knew betterđ
Things what I have learnt as a baby witch
As a baby witch who has recently became more spiritually connected and grown as a pagan, i want to give out advice what I have learnt over the 2 years of doing witchcraft.
1) Donât jump straight into the deep end
Never jump into the deep end by doing spellâs straight away, witchcraft isnât some aesthetic cutesy thing, it can be serious, jumping into spells without having no idea what you are doing can be extremely dangerous.
Ideally, you want to ease yourself into it, by doing research, yes the word research can be daunting but it will help you in the long run. Research on what witchcraft is, get an overall understanding what its about, find out the pagans holidays, pagans new year, and so much more!
If you have no idea where to start I highly recommend buying this book - âWicca For Beginnersâ by Frank Bawdoe
The book explains the introduction of the basic Wiccan religion including Wiccan beliefs, a brief history of Wiccan Religion, and their traditions. How to practice Wiccan Religion, the benefits of witchcraft and so much more.
2) Never buy your own tarot deck
this is very important so please take note and to remember! Never! buy your own tarot card decks, in witchcraft, it is extremely bad luck for you to buy your own tarot decks. So always either get a family member or a friend to buy it for you.
3) Connect with your spirit guide and your tarot decks!
Importantly, I personally believe its very useful and helpful to connect with your spirit guide, the more you connect with them, the more youâll know a lot about them and who they are in general.
You can do this through connecting with your tarot decks first and getting a special bond with them, you do this by
- Keeping the tarot decks on your desk when your studying, or reading a book
- Shuffling through the decks every day, you donât even need to do a reading or to use them, just shuffle them. This way youâre putting your energy into the cards.
- Place the tarot decks under your bed when sleeping.
- Ask your spirit guide questions, like what are the tarot cards intentions, am i being protected. Things like that.
- Doing Tarot readings
Doing these things will help you bond with your decks and your spirits guides.
4) Never touch someone elseâs Tarot decks
Iâm highlighting this in red because this is a massive 101 rule in witchcraft is to never touch someone elseâs deck unless they have gave you consent and permission. By breaking this rule, you are also disrespecting and breaking the person who owns the deck boundaries. Everyoneâs tarot deck is very personal for them, its their personal business and item, they are spiritually connected and bounded with that deck. If you touch it, not only are you putting yourself through harm. But youâre also pissing off the personâs spirit guide and disrespecting them too. So donât do it.
5) Things donât have to be expensive!
When people think of witchcraft and hearing about crystals, herbs and books, they think âoh god this is going to be a lot of moneyâ but in reality you donât have to go out your way to buy really expensive things! Iâm from the UK so i buy most of my books from a store called WHSmiths or Work entertainment. Work entertainment is best for spell jars which only cost ÂŁ1 or a simple crystal shop which sells those ÂŁ1.50 crystals!
6) Learn how to do protection spells before doing anything!
If you feel like you are ready to do spells but donât know where to start or what to do, practice doing protection spells, protection spells is pretty self explanatory but it will protect you from any negative energy or spirit
7) What to do if you got a negative spirit/energy
Youâll know when you have a negative energy or spirit around you as your mood and your health will change, if you feel like your mental health has been a bit down for a while and youâre constantly feeling drained and tired. That means something is draining your energy.
So what do you do?
Do an egg cleanse spell! This will help you detect if someone has set a curse, negative spell or if theres negative energy around you.
By doing so, grab a glass cup and fill it up half way with water, adding salt to it is optional but i recommend doing it as salt is really good at protection. Grab an egg, place the egg on your head, with your hand you would want to move the egg counter clock wise around your body, start from the head, and move the egg down to your arms and legs, back round to the other side of your body. Do not let the egg leave the body.
After youâre done crack the egg into the cup and wait 5 minutes, if its all clear then youâre okay! but if the egg whites starts forming like spider cobwebs with bubbles between it, it means someone has set negative energy around you or a curse. If you see a triangle base shape in the cobwebs and a bubble on top. It means you have been hex with the evil eye. If theres also red or brown spots in the yolk it also means a banishing spell or a curse spell.
So you do a return sender, if you got any spices, add a f*ck ton of it in the cup, the more spices the better as that will f*ck whoever sent you the hex up. Grab the cup and pour everything down the toilet, look away while you flush the toilet. Once its flushed look at the bubbles, less the bubbles less of the negative energy. Sometimes you have to do this more than once.
8) Your spirit guides will show you the answers in different ways
One thing Iâve learnt is your spirit guide will show you the answers in different ways, if you want to know if you are protected, there will be signs, for example I personally believe if a a white feather falls in front of you or by you or if you even see a white feather it means youâre being protected by a angel/your spirit guide. So if you see a white feather it means you are protected by them, or if you see your spirit animal or if you know a dead relatives spirit animal and it starts to show up.
Sometimes the signs will be right in front of your face, example for me is: My spirit guide warned me about people being back stabbers and to watch out. After seeing that in a reading, i had my mother who im very spiritually connected with, call me up saying she had a dream about me being stabbed and she feels like it represented me being back stabbed and warned me who i hang out with.
Then my closest friend used my tarot deck which broke my boundaries, pissed off my spirit guide so she started to get headaches, neck pains, back pains and it got to the point she had to leave. When she tried approaching me the day after that, a white feather fell right by me, seconds later, she started to feel unwell and went back inside. I suddenly felt the sense of relief and happiness, and when i said to my self everything is okay, another white feather fell and it landed on my leg. That made me personally feel that it was my spirit guide confirming me and saying yes everything will be okay.
Thatâs all the advice i can think of at the moment but hopefully this has helps a lot of you small baby witches! just remember, if you ever feel burnt out or you start to do witchcraft but dont have the passion or get into it but still want to, thats okay! it takes time!
9) Know what you are doing when doing spells!! And do it when you are ready!
Another thing, i know i said previously doing research is key! but please know what you are doing when doing spells especially jar spells! Donât do what I did, I thought I was ready to do spells, I tried doing a protection spell and I ended up summoning a trickster spirit who is still attached to me and can be a little pissbaby sometimes by moving my things around. But overall he also does protect me when need be so he can be good when he wants to be.
Also if youâd like to know what books I have, i have these! (the pictures below) these have helped me over the past 2 years with my journey so I highly recommend checking them out!
Good luck and i wish you all positive energy!
