Hello, I am fairly new to the Wicca ways I am willing to learn but have no one to learn from. I know some of the basics, but I also know that you can spend years on the path and never learn every stone and tree. Any advice or shared knowledge would be happily received.

Just practices, reading material, just things like that. I am still kind of new, and even though I have heard that there are no set ways i would like to hear the views and learn what ever i can. Before i dive in my self.

Well one thing I have to offer is what I found to be a very important site.

My path is Wiccan based, and this site mainly discusses just that.

They have all different interesting sections :)

Hope you find it helpful!

Just like anything else in life there are many paths when it comes to Wicca/Witchcraft. While this site does offer a lot of information I'm not sure it provides specifics on the most common paths. I'm sure someone would be more than happy to provide you with a run down though.

Good luck in your venture, and don't forget that using the search feature up top can save you a lot of time :)

:mrgreen: Study Suggestions
. Look up free PDF books in Media section-book review sub topic and F.A.Q.s
. Read about subjects that interest you - one topic a month; Google unfamiliar terms
. Write it down; ask specific questions - what exactly do you want to know?
. Focus on local plants & minerals to practice with; Hands-on teaches what works for you, or doesn’t; be observant
. Rub leaves between your fingers & sniff; your subtle senses suggest magical uses
. Stones with unique markings ⚡️or shapes 🌙💛suggest magical uses
. The Charge of the Goddess and the Wiccan Rede are guidelines

🗝 Key Points
. The Lady🪆and Lord 🦌 represent Nature’s duality
. Holidays are Nature’s seasonal cycles 🎃All Hallows’,🕯Candlemas, 🌺May Day, 🍞Lammas
. Nature’s Elements manifest intentions 🌏earth, 💦water, 💨air, 🔥fire, ✨ether
. Magic works with Nature
. Both the Circle and the Altar are replicas of the ✨Cosmos and the 🌎Earth
. You do not need the ritual regalia to start

Easy Peasy 💫Circle Rite
. Broom sweep ↪️. Light incense. Pull power on the breath to the gut, point 👆🏽& push to cast the circle↩️.
. Do divination, meditation, up to 3 spells (for you, for a friend & for family/the community).
. Say thanks & ground yourself to end the rite.

About Spells :mrgreen: simplify and substitute
. Use incantations to say what you expect results to be & don’t say what you don’t want
. Pull power to the belly on the breath, focus intent, push power thru hands to set intent into spells
. Be passionate, involve emotions, feel the fire in the belly
. Spell methods - bag/bottle, candle, cord/knot, grid/mandala, potion, petition, sigil, trance/chant
. Herbs, Incense, Oils - use sweet scents for love, citrusy to cleanse, woodsy-wellness, spicy-protection
. Useful supplies 📝 🙌🏽 🕯🧂& 🫖

Daily Practice
. Greet ☀️Sol, 🌎Gaia & 4-💨 Boreus, Eurus, Notos & Zephyrus (NESW)
. Candle gaze 🕯👀 to improve holding your attention without wandering
. Ground and center frequently during the day; shield as needed
. Meditate 10-30 min
