Beginning Wicca
No matter what you may have heard, there are two steps that are important to get started with Wicca, and these do not involve spells, tools, rituals, or initiation by a coven or coven member.
1) Read! This is incredibly important. In Wicca, knowledge is power. Whether you are a member of a Wicca coven or a solitary practitioner, there is always more to learn about Wicca. The more you know, the more powerful you are, so the more you know about Wicca traditions and Wicca practices, the more success you'll have with it.
2) Spend time with nature. Get to know it and respect it. Watch it, breathe it, learn from it. This is a hands-on type of study, the results of which you won't get from books.
If you follow both of these guidelines, you're well on your way!

Yes, I agree. You can never get the feel of our Mother Nature without spending time listening to the winds and the trees. Also, reading is a big part of it, since most wiccans I find these days seem to think wicca is hundreds years old not realizing this is a neo-pagan belief. Nevertheless, great tip.

i completely agree that knowledge is power and that reading can help you to atain this knowledge,though you can never get experience from just reading words on paper. after and during reading, try some things out. work on what you're reading. you can never stop learning, blessed be.

This is the ultimate tip for beginners. So many times I see people start with wanting to learn spellcasting without learning what the religion behind it really is. In order to be a true believer you must start at the beginning, learn learn and learn more, the rest will follow naturally. 8/11/07
