| Most importantly, listen to your inner voice. It is usually very good council and will not lead you astray :If everything still feels right and you are sure Witchcraft is the path for you wish to follow after all this studying, now is the time to perform a dedication |
| This ritual should be yours and yours alone A dedication ritual means exactly what it sounds like You are dedicating yourself to the Craft and making the decision to live life in closer harmony and balance with the earth and nature. You are making a commitment to yourself and the Divine. You need to complete the first two steps before you even think about working with spells!!!!!!!!! |
| Before you begin working with magick, you need to understand what it is, where it comes from and the ethics involved. You will also need to learn and understand the basic structure of rituals, Casting circles, calling quarters, invoking the Goddess and God, raising and directing energy, grounding, centering and closing the circle. Magick is raising and channeling the energy found in yourself, nature and in the Divine. "An It Harm None." Magick is not Hollywood hocus-pocus. It is not bending the natural order of things to fit your needsor desires. If that is what you are looking for, you are in the wrong place. Witches have had enough bad press over the past few centuries And are working hard to turn those misconceptions around. We do not need people running around claiming to put spells and hexes on peoplebecause they cannot face reality, are not willing to work for what they want or are looking for an easy solution to their problems. Magick doesn't work that way... :You will also find that meditation and visualization exercises will increase your concentration If you are interested in joining a Coven most will require the traditional year and a day of study before initiating new members. This gives you time to explore the religion and decide if it is the right path for you as well asgiving you and the Coven members time to get to know one another Covens are generally very selective and rightfully so. There are many out there who seek this path for all the wrong reasons. ~*~Blessed Be and may your path be Bright!~*~ |
