Howdy my witchy b
ches!
I’m just curious to know? What were your very first experiences as a practitioner? Of course, everyone was a beginner at some point in time, but what was the first thing you hands on attempted?
Was it protection? Was it divination? Was it some other type of spell work? what happened? Did it turn out as expected? Or not so much? Were you able to fix it if it wasn’t as expected? What did you learn from that experience that you can share as a little tidbit since everyone is much wiser and seasoned ?
I’m so curious to know, and get to know you guys better! 
When I first started in 2022, I really focused first on protection and casting a circle. Nowadays, I tend to envision myself encircled in protective white light by opening my crown and root chakras. I like to feel grounded in Mother Earth and to expand my energy into the cosmos. I will even cover or surround anyone or object around me if I feel the need to. I prefer to use visualization and energy more than I do actual tools.
The other thing I first started with is learning tarot. I have always been fascinated by the cards and their history. That interest has now extended to include Lenormand cards, oracle cards, and runes.
I love that we never stop learning. That there is always something new on the horizon!
Just a suggestion, if you want deeper answers and more experiences, if you move the post to Sacred Space, this makes people’s answers held in the coven only as opposed to available online for anyone to see. Not a criticism just some of our members prefer to keep their fabulous experiences within the privacy of the coven.

I feel like I’ve always practiced in some form or other, just not consciously if that makes sense.
Since joining Spells8 I have expanded into divination with Lenormand cards. I honestly intended to learn tarot, but Lenormand is fulfilling me so beautifully right now. 
There’s always a chance we’ll be ready for each other down the road.
Other aspects of my practice involve more intention when working in my kitchen, being mindful of the herbs I grow and how I approach food preparation.
Divination through Tarot and Lenormand reading, and from there I’ve branched into protective magick. Eventually, I want to learn all types of healing and protective magick. I don’t perform many spells.
I’ve always been into morning rituals. Especially when I first started, and I was working in telemarketing. I fell out of it when we moved later on, but that really helped me get through the day!
But until I joined in here, I wasn’t brave enough to do much else. This place really helped my confidence!
