When I did my first spells, I was afraid of making a mistake.
This fear kept me from doing magick because I was afraid of doing something wrong.

Over the years, I have learned certain things, including what I call the “hidden requirements of spellwork.”

1. Start small.

The simplest spell you can do is “thank you.” You can light a candle and some incense to say thank you to the God and Goddess for the blessings you currently experience.

2. Hold to humility.

I started as a solitary witch. I did not do more involved spells until I was in a coven with spiritual elders.

I find that holding to humility is helpful. Why? You make space to learn more.

3. Make space for a time duration.

Have you noticed that many worthwhile things in life take time? It takes time to practice. You may make a mistake, and that’s a time when your awareness is expanded.

Here’s a prayer you can use:

Lord and Lady,
Help my studies grow.
Let me learn and know.
Help my knowledge fall in line.
Give me hope at this time.
So Mote It Be

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
