Q&A for How to Practice Witchcraft

Yes, witchcraft is something you're able to do on your own. It will just take more practice.

Casting a love spell has some consequences. If you cast a love spell on one who doesn't love you, then you have to renew and purify yourself. This can be very long and hard. If the person loves you back, the spell should work. To cast this spell, you must have these ingredients: pink sand (Bermuda Beach has pink sand), cement, conch shell, and a dear object you hold close. Mix the sand, grind up the cement and conch shell, and add water. Drop object into the mixture and chant," Love is yet to come, don't leave your sum. ( person's name) loves me, I plea." chant till you are tired. Wait at least 5 days.

If you think they'll be supportive, just tell them. If you don't think they will, you don't have to.

That depends on how you define witchcraft. Real witchcraft is much different than what Hollywood makes it out to be and is more often considered a form of energy and being able to manipulate that energy to manifest desires.

You may tell a close friend, but don't tell it to your parents or siblings. Remember, part of Wicca is silence.

It helps if you know yourself well and are attuned to change with in you and in your surroundings. Some people can sense when a spell has been cast.

You should feel good about going through with it. If it's a healing spell, you should feel refreshed, healthy, lighter and better than before. Physically, you should feel relaxed, and your mind should be thinking about what the outcome of the spell will be.

Symbolically. Place some salt (earth) in a bowl of (water) and light a candle (fire).

Scaring people and not respecting others' boundaries is too close to dark magic, and is not being promoted here. Stick to the light, and use magic to help, not to hurt anyone.

Wicca is a religion by itself, so no, you can't. However, you can be Christian and practice witchcraft - you would simply be a Christian witch. Witchcraft and Wicca are two different things.

You can find spell books online or by calling your local bookstore. There may also be a New Age store in your area that can help.

You can purify yourself by using holy water, incense, crystals, or tea. Alternatively, you can envision yourself being surrounded by white light that drives out the bad energies inside of you.

You can enhance the power of your spells by gaining followers to channel their power to you. They can be persuaded to do this with minor charms, namely scolopamine.

There is really no such thing as "easy" magic or "hard" magic. You just have to improve your concentration and practice. Spells will become more powerful the more power you put into them. So, if you mean you want to make a spell more powerful, which in turn makes the spell harder to cast, then try to infuse it with as much intent and concentration as you can.

Not in real life but in meditation you can take on a different form. You might even learn to shape shift in your dreams if you can control your dreams or at least influence them.

You can learn witchcraft by reading different books on the topic. A highly recommended book is "The Modern Guide to Witchcraft," by Skye Alexander. Most witchcraft books can be found under the topic "New Age."

Yes, you can. Witchcraft itself is not necessarily a religion (unless you want to initiate and follow the rules of Wicca, which is both a religion and a path in witchcraft).

Of course you can't. You cannot do things with witchcraft that are physically impossible. These are stereotypical images of witches, not the reality.

You really don't need a lot of space. Just try to clear out a spot, organize and move some things, etc. You could even do magic in your closet if you really had nowhere else to go.

Look for groups of people within your age range in you area. Introduce your mom to them to gain her approval. If she doesn't approve, wait until you are older to practice with a group.

This depends on who you don't want to know. Mostly, you just have to refrain from telling anyone. If you live with other people and don't want them to know, I suggest using a temporary altar that you can hide quickly. Get a candle and a lighter in you room and you're good to go for some simple spells.

There are no particular rules about gender roles in Wicca. Men and women are equal and can both participate fully in witchcraft/Wicca if they choose to do so.

Search other websites for easy spells, spells for beginners, etc. A good website is WiccaSpirituality with Erin Dragon Song.

You can do both! You can choose a type just by a description of it, or try it out and see how it feels.

Levitation isn't possible with just witchcraft alone, as witchcraft can't break the laws of physics and aerodynamics.

Yes. Witchcraft has more to do with energies and intent rather than religion. Although there are many religions associated with witchcraft, such as Wicca, you can indeed be an atheist and practice witchcraft.

No, it can be extremely elaborate, or it can be a stick from the ground, just as long as you like it and believe in its magick abilities.

You can do a boomerang spell. This way whatever spell they attempted to put on you will be sent right back to them.

Yes you can, as there are many spells that do not require needing any ingredients.

Of course! Witchcraft is for everyone; there are Christian witches, Muslim witches, there are even atheist witches!
