Books, Diaries, Journals & Grimoires

 

Reading about the different types of witchcraft out there can help you figure out what kind of magic calls to you; it can give you a specific area to begin practicing magic.

Knowledge can also help you to define what elements you wish to use in the craft when you start designing your own spells and writing your own book of shadows.

You probably won’t be drawn to every kind of witchcraft so hopefully through reading and research you can narrow down how you want to practice magic.  

It’s likely that at least a few different types of witchcraft will call to you. However, remember that your power will be the strongest when you’re using the elements that you’re most drawn to, which is why it’s helpful to do a bit of research before you dive right in.

Most witches (nowadays, at least) identify as eclectic.  I know I do, that means that they practice at least a few different kinds of magic.
