Welcome Alexis!! 
Absolutely. You need both hands to steer any vehicle down a winding road!
In my opinion, depending on what definition of “Left Hand Path” you use, you could argue that all of us are doing some LHP Magic (with your craft being all about yourself and your own personal gain).
I think most witches are somewhere in the middle. This could be comparable to what in Buddhism is called “the middle way of moderation”, between the extremes of sensual indulgence and self-mortification.
At a very young age (I’m 49 now) I always felt and saw images (faces in burning fireplaces for example) at first I was a little afraid but in time I came to expect and welcome it. To this day I am still aware of spirits around me, smells, sound, images that no one else around me experiences. My best friend from the age of 13 reached out to me about a month ago after more than 20 yrs of no contact and she herself is a Luciferian High priestess (she recommended your site to me). I have always been a believer of Lucifer and higher powers. I am drawn more to animals than people, I love being outdoors I can site for hours just listening to the different birds and creatures around me.
The more I think back to my childhood and my parents the more I feel they may have been practicing as well ( more my father) I have seen objects online that many witches have and my dad had the same things. There was always incense burning (may just have been to hide the smell of weed) Patchouli was a hit with my dad, as well there were what I called nic nacs at the time all over the house. He was a very calm open minded creative person.
He was with a woman for many many years who was heavily into meditation and would often “play” Ouija board with me and I thought it was great.
Soooo I could go on and on …… but in short I would like to start actually being able to communicate with a higher being, start with cleansing and opening myself up and move on to spell work. It seems I have been surrounded all my life by witches and have always felt I was a little witchy myself, I wish to start my journey.
I love patchouli! It’s one of my favorite smells ever! For protection I also recommend Frankincense and Sandalwood.
That’s amazing that your friend recommended you this site! Tell her I say thanks!!
I suggest you follow this Guided Grounding Meditation (Grounding is usually the first step to touching base with Nature, releasing energy back into the Eternal Flow),
Another useful technique is visualizing a Circle of Protection as explained here to invoke peace and balance.
I also wrote a post on Energy Work Basics, it’s good that you’re comfortable handling and directing your own energy. Regarding spells, here’s a curated list of Spell Collections!

Hello! My name is Elena and I have been learning about wicca for quite some time now. I have had experience with many different religions with my family growing up, but neither me nor my family were comfortable with the mindsets and the setup of these religions. About a year ago I cane across wicca and after some research and thought, everything concerning my path in life just clicked. I have been doing a lot of studying and practice as an eclectic witch but I still consider myself to be a beginner as I like to take things nice and slowly and ensure that whatever I am doing is right and with full intent. I am open to learning new things anytime, and I appreciate being able to introduce myself today!
Merry Meet, @elena! Welcome to the Forum!! 
I always felt that way!! I knew there was a big spiritual side of me but I just couldn’t engage with any religion because they didn’t make sense to me. Only when I found out what the Craft is and what Wicca is everything started to fall into place…
I’m glad you are taking it slowly! You know what they say: A year and a day of self study (minimum!) 
Even after that, you will always be finding new information and reshaping your view of the world and your beliefs. Feel free to explore the Forum and ask any questions you may have.
Blessed Be! 
Thank you so much, Francisco! I am really looking forward to it.
Blessed be!
Warm greetings, everyone!
My name is Brianna and while I am originally from the USA, I now roam the world to study various languages, cultures, and the fascinating beliefs and practices found across our fascinating earth! My spiritual journey began long ago with my mother, who works magic in her gardens. Green magic and herbalism will always have a place in my heart, and I also dabble in tarot readings, crystals, and studying the moon.
My true passion is in making magic in all its forms more accessible and approachable, especially for those on the road or those who have limited time and resources for the practice. I believe that we all find our unique paths in special ways and we have so much to gain from coming together as a community to share ideas and insights.
I am so excited to meet all of you, and I look forward to learning and growing within this wonderful witchy community! 
Merry Meet, Brianna!!
That was a great introduction!
I hope you’ll enjoy your time here and also share the Magic of your travels with us! 
Blessed Be!
