After all, isn’t witchcraft all about enhancing our lives?
The first thing I do is to create a sacred space where magical work can be done. It can be an altar room, the top of your dresser or even a portable altar. NOTE: Altar is spelled with 2 A’s. It is “altar”, meaning a flat surface used as the focus for a ritual. It is not “alter”, which means “to change” (probably appropriate, but not correct).
The second part is to consistently use this space as part of a daily, or routine, practice. This will keep you in touch with different aspects of your spirituality including your relationships with deity and your own spirit/lifeforce. Use it for crafting potions, meditation, divination work, a place to work with your deities and magical partners and as a place to keep your sacred tools handy for use.
Third, find the parts of your Craft that sing to you. Not every Witch is meant to be an herbalist or an incense maker. Maybe your witchy talent is divination or spell candles. Spend time on those things that are meaningful and which take you to deeper levels of magic and personal understanding. There are no rules. Don’t subscribe to dogma and don’t let anyone tell you what form your magic should take.
Finally – challenge yourself. Make changes. Find new parts of the Craft path that you have not explored and see if they work with what you’re doing. It does, incorporate it into your work and make yourself unique and multi-faceted. When in doubt, talk to other Witches…but remember those conversations are only touchstones, not directives!
