As a new witch, an important decision is whether to start out following established book spells or if you should create your own. While there's merit in both approaches, I recommend spending time learning and getting comfortable with foundational spells before you leap into creating your own. While no two paths are the same, confidence is key when casting spells, so knowing you're working with a tried and true combination can only help.
The benefits of using existing spells for new witches
Using pre-written spells lets you build a foundation of techniques, components, and structure before drafting rituals from scratch. Studying how experienced witches combine intention and elements teaches core tenets.
Preserving cultural spells honors the witches who shaped your craft's legacy. Following time-tested spells also provides validation when starting out. Success reassures you that magick exists beyond just wishful thinking.
The benefits of creating your own spells
However, working within an existing framework limits exploring your intuitive gifts. Incorporating personalized elements like family heirlooms or homegrown herbs makes the magick distinctly yours, strengthening your connection.
Creating individualized spells also allows complete control over the intention and energy. As you progress, your inner wisdom should guide your path over established dogma.
There's no right or wrong way for new witches to practice spell crafting. Be open to both time-honored traditions and your inner voice. Learn from what came before you, then fearlessly follow your own light. The path unfolds with each step.
