I think Im going to try this as my first spell tonight! I have been have a really really hard time mentally lately. Its just gotten worse over the past 2 years and honestly I dont know what to do. Im really hoping I can channel what inner magick I have left to help myself prosper. 🖤✨
You do not have to take the path of Wicca. Unfortunately it is extremely prominent to the point of having almost completely overshadowed other practices.
You can choose another path with different deities and different beliefs, don't let yourself feel trapped like I did. You have more options.
You may also choose not to have any religious beliefs at all, and simply perform witchcraft with your own abilities. This is also fine.
Know your options and please be critical of Wicca as it is actually a very new religion that appropriates a lot of culture, and hold heavy misogynistic and trans-exclusionary views.
If you do choose a Wiccan path then please make sure you are not indeed appropriating or being a nasty fuckhead.
