Default I'm a young teenager interested in practicing Wicca.I need guidance but I don't know

I've been drawn to Wicca for a while and I'm finally taking action. I'm not looking for a cult, or praising Satan. I am simply drawn to nature, and the independent teachings of Wicca. I'm looking up the history, simple spells, but I'm not sure if I'm doing it right. I have no support from home and no one to contact. So, a ha! The Internet! So, if you have any advice, spill! Ha well, thank you if you do help me out. And blessed be! [=

Buy a guitar and play some music, you'll be much happier.

I've been to book stores and looked in the religion section and i saw books about Wicca. So I'm sure if you go to Borders you can find plenty of books on Wicca. The books can tell you how to practice your religion the right way and all of that stuff. That's all the advice I have to offer.

Our normally recommend reading is:
Scott Cunningham Wicca: A guide for the solitary practitioner
Raymond Buckland: "Buckland's complete book of Witchcraft
Will help you understand how we practice our belief

The Internet is also a wonderful resource,
I'll enter a pagan phrase or term & see where the links lead me.

Paganism is a search of the unknown, there is no right way to follow it.
Grasp things that work for you & reject ones that don't
In the end you've developed your own spirituality

Merry Meet Elii,

If you are interested about learning more about Wicca and/or Witchcraft here are a few legitimate sources to glean knowledge from. First being Witchvox at http://www.witchvox.com/. Here you will gain knowledge through fellowship with other of like mind and knowledge through the countless articles posted. If this is not enough one could look into getting on line training through the Sacred Mists at http://www.sacredmists.com/, and Witch School at http://www.witchschool.com/, or OZ Wicca at http://www.ozwicca.com/, both are pretty decent for learning the Craft on the Web though like any site they have some issues. Also if you are close enough to an active group that specializes in education and development like the SCWF try and join them even if it?s on a limited capacity.

If DVD?s are to your liking try Witchcraft Rebirth of the Old Religion by Raymond Buckland (DVD), Discovering Witchcraft by Janet and Stewart Farrar (DVD), Ancient Mysteries Witches by A&E (DVD), Craftwise Volume 1: Candle Magick by Peter Paddon (DVD), Craftwise Volume 2: Cord Magick by Peter Paddon (DVD), Wish on a Spell, Vo. 1 by Deborah Gray (DVD), Practical Magick DVD, The Craft (DVD).

If books are what you?re interested in I also suggest that you get your hands on Wicca for Beginners by Thea Sabin and/or The Circle Within by Dianne Sylvan. Both of these books are very good reading and both will give you some deeper insight to the Craft and how it relates to you. Also you cannot go wrong with anything by Scott Cunningham.

Study as much as you need to before deciding that you are Wiccan. Find those near you who are reputable and knowledgeable. Also stay away from those who are playing Wicca if you are serious about the religion and the craft, they will only slow you down and/or mislead you. Also, read all the books you can the good ones as well as the bad ones. Ultimately, study, study and then study some more. Find all you can and definitely cross reference whenever possible, this way you can get the best out of all you learn.

Remember, you are the one that decides who?s a good or bad author not someone else because every author in my belief has something to offer, all you have to do is ignore the information that is not accurate and/or wrong. Oh and when the opportunity raises cross reference the information learned for accuracy.

I hope my blurp helps out.

Blessed Be

Nyjh
