#tipsforbeginnerwitches #witchcraft #babywitchtips

Do you want to become a real witch and are wondering how to start your witchcraft journey?

My name is Bex and I have been a practicing, secular witch for almost 18 years now - mainly focusing on kitchen witchery, cottage witchcraft, and green witchcraft.

Today I am going to share a thorough step-by-step guide with you on how you as a witchcraft beginner can become a real witch and what to keep in mind when starting your witchcraft journey. I do hope you enjoy my ¨baby witch tips¨ / tips for beginner witches.

As always, these tips for beginner witches come from my personal experience and background and are not written in stone, so take the ones that resonate with you and disregard the ones that don't.

This video does not only contain advice for beginner witches but Might also be a good refresher for more seasoned practitioners - we all live and learn :)

Witchcraft is an umbrella term for many different practices from all around the world that are all built on some kind of cultural, spiritual, traditional, religious, or philosophical belief.
Witchcraft is a craft, practice, and lifestyle. In itself, it is not a religion.
However, Wicca in all its subcategories is a religion and the people following the various branches of Wicca do practice witchcraft.
Some witches might be pagan, thus follow one or more pagan pantheons, work with deities of following ancient pagan traditions, celebrations, and practices. However, not all pagans automatically practice witchcraft.
In this video, I will be speaking about witchcraft in its simplest form - as a craft without any religious ties. But all of the 12 steps will apply to anyone following a Wiccan or pagan path too.

Lovely video Bex, because magick is exactly this, something so simple that a complicated world has some difficulty understanding. We, witches are here to remember and try to show how it feels good and how it is easy to be connected to the nature, to this great mother earth that keep nourishing and protecting us. Much love to you, dear.

This is exactly what I was looking for. In the past I thought being a witch meant worshiping the god and goddess and celebrating the sabats but now I see that is more Wicca and being a witch is more mindfulness and energy intention work. That’s definitely more my thing as I am sort of in the closet about this but want to practice fully m. Thanks for making this video 🙏

Thank you, been dipping my toes in witchcraft to enhance my therapy. Honestly the parallels between witchcraft and cognitive behavioral therapy are astonishing.

I am a Grey witch, practicing for just over 30 years now. The Craft has evolved so much over the years. You have iterated the base of Craft perfectly. The first years of Craft can be a little tedious as you learn to ground, visualize and gather your power/intention but it is absolutely vital. One thing that I would advise is to practice and study for the first year or so as a solitary witch and don’t seek a coven until you have enough knowledge to chose wisely. If any coven insists that you take off your clothes, avoid that unless you completely resonate with that. There is no one tradition that holds the “ Truth” or “Power”. Engage critical thought at each step.

Love this. Being a witch can be as simple or as flamboyant as you like. Some days I may just do a 5-10 min morning guided meditation and one thing I do everyday is when I am stirring my morning cup of coffee, I say/ set an intention for the day. Something as simple as “ with this brew I will find peace and calmness all the day through”. Simple.,

I am a 61 year old baby witch. Thank you for these tips. I felt like if I wasn't practicing everyday or casting spells I wasn't a witch. Your tips made me realize that I am a witch! I also realized that I have already been creating my grimoire as you suggested. I write down everything first in a notepad then transfer it to my journal then those spells or research I have completed goes into my Book of Shadows (with a little art and flourish 😊). My sister, who is also a witch, teases me for being a perfectionist 😂 Thank you again for your thoughts and ideas.

I made my own runes out of an amazon card box yesterday! Made my wand just by drying a rose rod and a pentacle from the rest of the bouquet. You really can do your stuff on your own <3

I absolutely love your videos. Thank you for what you do!

I’m Secular/Agnostic, and sometimes I feel silly being so drawn to Witchcraft; however, watching this video really reaffirms the reasons why I am so drawn to it in the first place. Witchcraft to me represent intention, mindfulness, self work, appreciating the life around us, the people around us, and all the little things in between. Life and everything around us is absolutely magical.

You don't become a witch~ You just polish your skills and remember your real self. Lovely video

Listening to this in the car, and I love how open and free you describe being a witch. So many folks present it with rigidity and that is not how I have experienced being a witch. I suppose it’s because I am green witch and it’s all about whatever. It’s so freeing! Yay. I loved this. It was a lovely overview. Truly.

I honestly feel ive been a witch since I was a tiny girl. My dad and I bonded through adventures in nature...wading in creeks, catching butteflies, collecting leaves. Even as an elementary school child, I felt the connection to nature. To this day, it is my happy place and where I connect with the divine.

[NicoleFordThomas]

You truly cover the basics here, and I appreciate your emphasis on the craft being something you create, not buy. We are the magic, not the tools, so using what we have readily available in our environment is as good as, if not better, store bought.

This video was so beautiful to me. Thank you for creating this. I grew up christian and was taught witchcraft is a gateway to negative entities. I was terrified to watch this video, but feel so renewed and happy after watching this. Thank you truly for teaching us the basics of witchcraft and shining light on the beauty of it.

Been a Witch for 13 years, and stumbled upon your video; watched it out of curiosity. You are so warm! So funny! I loved it! Thank you for sharing all this, it's what newbies need. Much Light and Blessings from a Secular Witch to another.

[beanbaghagwag]

This was so beautiful. YOU are so beautiful. The possibilities are endless! I remember how everything felt so exciting when I was new.

As a 48 yr old single, child free South Asian female who was born Hindu, I was always attracted to the ritual & paganism part of Hinduism. I started becoming interested in being a witch imin the last few years. Thank you so much for this video 🙏🏾❤️. I have been so into meditation, morning practice rituals, tarot, law of attraction/assumption etc. I guess I was already a witch on her journey!

[elisakrivas]

I was just curious and intrigued. I didn't know witches were real. Oddly someone on YouTube said they were a witch and they were very nice and not how people stereotype witches. I've started a journey and path on reconnecting with myself, opening up again, embracing my broken past, learning balance, and exploring different options of different things, so obviously, talking to a witch who seemed to act similarly to me intrigued me to know more. I see I'm sort of already unintentionally on this sort of path. This obviously is making me more interested. Magick sounds interesting too. I recently have begun to believe that everything, in a way, is magical. Science itself is something that puzzles scientists and makes them want to discover more about the world. In a way, isn't it magical that we have electricity, medicine, chemical reactions, or even devices that connect to the internet, which is invisible to the naked eye? It makes sense to me that it would also exist in more simple things such as nature that we can see as well as the energies we simply feel. Our very existence could be classified as magical. Perhaps this is just my strange way of viewing things.

My Book of Shadows is a digital file on my computer, a USB, and in a three ring binder. If someone was to quickly glance at it they would think it’s for a university class. It’s so much more organized and I can easily cite where I found my information and refer back to it.
I got an English degree and I will use it damn it!

[MagicalCrafting]

I love this video! One of my favorite parts of the discussion was trends in witchy topics on Social Media, and how we tend to believe things we hear over and over. So true. Keeping an open mind and even having the patience to wait these trends out is so important.

As someone who is interested witchcraft, I really enjoy your videos! Thank you for all the awesome information and tips!
