The Beginning
Embarking on the path to becoming a witch is an empowering journey of self-discovery, ancient wisdom, and profound connection with the energies that surround us.
It begins with an unwavering desire to explore the depths of one's own spirituality and an open mind eager to embrace the mystical realms. As you take your first steps, immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of knowledge that spans centuries, studying the craft's traditions, spells, and rituals.
