Sacred Full Moon
Shining above me with your radiant light
I stand before you
Ready to embrace your mystical might
In this sacred moment of lunar power
I open my heart and soul
To the blessings you bestow

Have an altar, or don't.
Keep it however and wherever you want, if you do want one.
Arrange it how you like it. Put as much or as little stuff as you want on it. Put whatever you feel like on it. Remove it if you no longer like it.
Change it up once in a while, or don't.

Simple/Low Energy Witchcraft
Look, I'm disabled so I know how frustrating it can be when your body is just not up to the ritual you spent a lot of time planning and tweaking. Or perhaps you are simply a busy person who needs quick, easy workings you can fit into your day.
Here are some suggestions:
Color Magick (Color coordinating outfits is a fun way to do this)
Spell Bottles
Jewelry Enchantment/Charging
Breath Work
Candle Magick
Knot Magick (Try weaving a braided cord or bracelet to wear)
Sound Cleansing/healing
Sigils
Petitions
Manifestation Boxes
Verbal Incantations & Blessings
Affirmations
Anointing (Can be done with a perfume oil blessed by you)
10 minutes meditation
Simple Divination (Tarot/Oracle, Runes, Pendulum)
5 minutes of mindfulness (Take 5 minutes to breathe, think about where you are and appreciate any good happening)
Mending Magick (A little magick in each stitch)
Daily Glamour (To go along with any self-care or beauty ritual)
Daily Intention Setting

The Grimoire as a Tool
Here are some great ways to give your grimoire more utility in your practice beyond just being a spell book:
Gazing page for trance and meditation work
Charging sigils for crystals and tools
Altar page (especially great for those who can't have a physical altar)
Altar pages for deities, spirits, guides, etc.
Intent pages decorated with colors, objects, and symbols associated with your chosen intent
Gateway pages for journeying and lucid dreaming
Vision and dream board pages to record dreams and recall them during ritual
Binding page for all the things that need somewhere to go besides your mind (I recommend using another piece of paper or a scrap of fabric to cover this page)
Pendulum board page
Crystal grid layout page
Throwing bones page (can have a grid, cardinal directions, elemental symbols, or other such markings to aid in interpreting throws)
Divination pages (create using scribbling, automatic writing, or ink splotches to create random markings that can later be interpreted)
Mirror gazing page (can be made with a reflective sticker or by pasting in a suitably reflective surface into your book, may be overlayed with thin black fabric or lace to somewhat obscure the reflection)
Invocation page with symbols and sigils for invoking certain entities

Wicca vs. witchcraft
Wicca is a pagan religion, witchcraft is a practice. You can be a different religion and still practice witchcraft. Witchcraft, depending on your path, can be a very individual practice or you can join a coven.

New Age Manifesting vs. spellwork manifesting
New Age (law of attraction! karma punishes your enemies for you! activate your chakras to limit 5g interference! your thoughts are reality! starseeds!) has a concept called manifesting.
Within the realm of practical sorcery, we also use the word manifesting.
But these two words mean different things, and I think it can be really confusing. So I'm going to try and take a stab at delineating these concepts. Especially the sorcery portion is based on how I see people using the word.
New Age: Manifesting is a part of New Age dogma. It's a religious belief with various factors at play. In New Age,
Manifesting is the belief that you are able to bring things into your life only using the power of your thoughts.
Your thoughts must be positive.
Your thoughts must be aligned with your "true purpose" or "highest calling."
Negative or unhappy thoughts may limit your ability to manifest.
Your personal level of spiritual development will limit how well you are able to manifest.
Manifesting is often an ongoing process, akin to a spiritual or holy state of mind that should be maintained as often as possible.
In New Age, "I manifested that" = "I wanted that, and I believe I got it because I am spiritually worthy."
In other words, manifestation is a grading of how close you are to fulfilling your "true purpose" in accordance with a living and benevolent universe. The better you do at upholding tenants such as Positivity and Living Your Truth, the more the universe rewards you.
(Please note that having an inborn purpose, being rewarded for aligning to an inborn purpose, and that the universe is capable of such a thing as co-creation are also just beliefs)
Sorcery: Manifesting is a technical term referring to whether or not a working of magic has influenced our world.
A spell or any working of magic is referred to as having been manifested when its influence has become apparent.
A working has manifested whether or not the manifestation was in line with the spellcaster's intent. "I cast a banishing spell on my boss, but when it manifested I just lost my job instead."
A working is manifesting when the spellcaster is confident the working is underway or when early signs of influence become apparent. "I think my money spell is manifesting - I got a call from the bank saying they're looking into those charges."
In sorcery, "I manifested that" = "I cast a spell for that and I believe the spell worked."
Unlike the New Age concept, sorcerous manifestation usually does not refer to the process of creation, but rather the end results of a prior working.
However, I also sometimes see New Age manifestation adopted as a style of sorcerous spellwork.
In other words, people who ostensibly do not practice New Age sometimes work with a style of magic they call "manifesting," which seems to mostly refer to thinking about a desired goal very intensely with the intent that their will becomes reality.
This practice seems divorced from New Age concepts such as positivity and the law of attraction.
In sorcery, other words are sometimes used instead of manifestation. Conjure is relatively common ("I conjured that money"). Plain language is also sometimes used ("my working was successful." "My spell got me what I wanted").

DIY: Brews and Potions
Witches standing over an open fire while stirring up potions in a cauldron is one of the many romanticized views of witchcraft. Today, witches brew many things for love, luck, health, wealth, and etc. Potions are a widely regarded instrument for witches. Potions are simply liquid spells that can be taken internally or applied externally to the body. Teas, enchanted perfumes, tinctures, and washes are the many forms these spells can come in. Some are used for healing, others are used in ritual or magickal work.
Kitchen Herbs and Common plants for Brews
Back in the day, homemade teas and salves were the only medicine available. Using these things today is still very popular and a holistic approach to health that treats the mind, body, and soul together. What you use does not have to be expensive, it can come from your back yard or your home. Many of what you already have you can use to make tinctures, teas, and decoctions. Also, syrups, tonics, waters, and vinegars. If you work with the herbs you have at home already on hand, you will be able to create your own remedy with a distinct local flavor.
The Power Behind the Plants
It is believed that many spiritual forces animate the world; called animism. When working with a plant or crystal, or performing a spell or ritual at a specific place, witches work with the spirits behind those plants or crystals, and call upon the spirit of that location to help them in their work. There is a special partnership and alliance between the witch and spirit, manifesting in forms of animals (familiars) or in the form of other plants, crystals, and locations. Over time, working with these spirits on various projects will deepen the relationship and the witch will gain information on magical associations, properties, and lore. These things often come through dreams, inspirations, or visions. The spirit will gain energy, attention, and physical shelter as animals or plants or crystals carried as a talisman.
