Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this whole “wizardry and witchcraft” thing, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride. I started out super skeptical, like, is this even real? But I figured, why not try it out and see what happens? Worst case, I waste a bit of time. Best case… well, I become a wizard, right?
Getting Started
First thing I did was hit up the internet, just to see what people were saying about this stuff. Found a ton of websites and forums, some looking more legit than others. I decided to stick with the ones that seemed the least crazy. I focused on the basics, like, what tools do I even need?
Turns out, a lot of it is about intention and focus, which, okay, I can get behind that. But you also need a few physical items. Nothing too crazy, though. Here’s what I gathered:
- Candles: Different colors for different purposes, apparently. I grabbed a bunch of white ones to start, figuring that was a safe bet.
- Crystals: Again, lots of different types. I picked up a clear quartz, because I read it was good for general energy stuff.
- A Journal: To keep track of everything, my thoughts, what I tried, the results…you get the idea. Got myself a nice, leather-bound one, felt more… witchy.
- Incense: For atmosphere, I guess. Went with sandalwood, because it smelled nice.
The First Ritual
So, with my supplies gathered, I decided to try a simple “protection” ritual. I found some instructions online, lit a white candle and some incense, held my crystal, and focused on feeling safe and secure. Honestly, I felt a bit silly at first. I mean, I’m sitting in my living room, surrounded by candles, talking to a crystal. But I kept at it, trying to really feel the intention behind the words I was saying (which I mostly made up, based on the instructions I read).
Did I feel anything? I don’t know. Maybe a little calmer? It was hard to tell if it was the ritual, or just the fact that I was taking some time for myself, away from screens and distractions. I wrote everything down in my journal, even the doubts. Gotta be honest, right?
Keeping it Going
I’ve kept at it for a few weeks now, trying different little rituals and spells. Some days I feel more connected to it than others. I’ve tried meditating with the crystals, visualizing energy flows, the whole nine yards. Some of it feels like I’m just making it up as I go along (which, let’s be real, I probably am). I still think about the first protection ritual I did and wonder if it was a placebo effect.
But here’s the thing: even if it is all in my head, it’s still having a positive effect. I’m more mindful, more focused, and generally feeling a bit better about things. I take the time to think about things in my journal and practice these rituals to give myself some time to be focused.
The Verdict (So Far)
Am I a wizard yet? Probably not. Am I having fun exploring this weird and wonderful world? Absolutely. I don’t think it really hurts me to spend some time on this. Will I keep going? You bet. It’s become a kind of self-care routine, mixed with a bit of mystery and a whole lot of “what if?”. And honestly, who knows what might happen next?
