I see a lot of beginner tips on the internet that seem to be for people who have already gotten started, how about some tips from someone who has no idea where to start at all?

Tips for Witches Who Haven’t Even Started Yet

Heads up this guide will be designed assuming someone has learned modern witches are a thing, is interested and maybe wants to be one, but has done none or very little research.  First let’s go ahead and get rid of some COMMON misconceptions people come into my DMs with when they’ve barely begun... 

There are all things you do not have to do to be a witch: 

Do evil things or be a “satan worshiper” 

Be a specific religion, because witchcraft is not a religion

Work with deities or spirits of any kind 

Be a woman, witch is a gender neutral term

Be Wiccan or Pagan

Pick a witch type 

Spend a lot of money 

Be in a coven or know other witches 

Have a big or pretty altar, grimoire, ect 

Have tarot cards or any tools for your practice gifted to you

One final disclaimer Another thing to go into your research with that you may not know if you’re just starting at the very beginning is that there are many paths, practices, belief systems, ect besides the eclectic form of witchcraft I teach here and that you will commonly see presented online. I feel a lot of people may benefit from a more structured, or different path. Keep an open mind. You might come across something more fitting.  So if the above is all false, are there any rules? The only rules I ever push around here are have an understanding of what you’re doing and its consequences, and do not appropriate from closed practices!  Okay, so I read all of the above, now what? If you don’t know where to start at all? Research. Research is always where you should start. That sounds overwhelming and may be something you’ve already seen a few times but it could be as simple as a google search to start and I will be here to make it as simple as possible with this guide. Also as usual my DMs are always open if you have questions. 

Onto how to do that research...  First here is a google doc full of links I’ve compiled that may give you somewhere to start! With that, here are some suggestions for what to research. 

Follow your interests For someone who has just begun I would highly suggest following your interests. What I mean by that is if anything interests you, keep googling, try Youtube maybe, check if your library has books on it, ect. Take notes on what it is, why it interests you and what you find. There are tons of practices and subjects witches study so just keep learning at your own pace and incorporating what works.

If you need somewhere to start, here’s some general topics I’d suggest:

Types of magical/Pagan practices

Cleansing

Charging

Grounding

Warding

Banishing & binding

Divination types

Tools & ingredients

Closed practices

If you’re stuck hopefully doing some searching on the above topics will get you down a rabbit hole of interest. Below is also a bunch of info on how to do GOOD research. Doing good research is very important to me. 

Research tips  Think critically and ask yourself questions like this while researching: 

What are the qualifications, motives and biases of the person giving me this information?

Who recommended this source?

Is anything they're implying or advising here a threat to my or someone else's safety or health? Do I know that this suggestion is safe? 

Does this line up with other things I know to be true? Like science, other factors about witchcraft, your beliefs, ect. Beliefs won't dictate fact but often in witchcraft personal belief is the only thing that will sway you towards one answer or another.

Does it make sense? Like logically does it make sense to you? Why? Just ask yourself why. Ask them why. Ask them for sources or an explanation.

Have I seen someone say this before? How often? Apply the above questions to that source or sources as well.

Here are all my other general research tips: 

Take time to take things with a grain of salt. Try not to categorize them as right or wrong until you're absolutely sure.

Cross reference everything you find. The answer you see the most is likely right. 

Understand that many things are up to personal belief and for many questions the answer will be "Depends on the witch." Both answers might be correct. This path is yours and often you have to dictate how things will work. 

Check out your local library.

Use books that aren't marketed as being about witchcraft or the occult. Folklore, local flora and fauna, nature, botany, gardening, foraging, geology, these are all useful subjects. 

Ask real, experienced witches. Do not rely on them as your soul mentor and ideally and contact multiple witches or groups, but do ask.

Don't worry about making a fancy grimoire or book of shadows or having all the correspondences in the world written out. That's the least of your worries, take notes on the essentials and things that interest you personally. Some things to include are the subject, date & source of what you're reading.  

Take notes, here’s how I mentioned note taking in there and I definitely have more to say on that! A lot of the time people get overwhelmed before they’ve even done anything remotely “witchy” because they feel like they need to have a big fancy grimoire. This is not the case. You can make a google doc or shove a bunch of notes in a binder. This tip has helped a LOT of people including me. I do strongly suggest taking notes, but take them your way. 

General Tips And finally here are some general tips to reference or keep in mind as you research and maybe start practicing witchcraft.

Don’t believe everything you hear and take information with a grain of salt. Most things to do with witchcraft depend on the witch. 

Lots of witchcraft supplies can be found or made. It doesn’t have to be expensive.

You can find supplies at mundane places, the dollar store, craft store, library, ect. 

Follow your intuition! One of the most important things here. To be a good witch and form a solid, personal path you have to know and be able to tune into yourself. 

Experiment! Try different things. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t. 

When you don’t know what to do, return to the basics. Whatever that means for you. Cleansing, warding, your deities, ect. 

If you feel overwhelmed, start with just one topic or two! You don’t need to take in witchcraft as a whole right away. Same goes for if you return from a break from the craft. 

Finally remember that you are always welcome to DM me for any reason with any question or concern throughout your research and practice! After my hiatus I’ve learned helping you guys one on one is my favorite thing, so remember I’m always here 💕

I don’t even know where to start. I know them since I was like 11-12 years old and remember how Reita was my favourite from the beginning.. because of them/ him I started finding the stuff I like that’s how I started my creative journey as well. When my father passed away 3 years ago he and The GazettE was my biggest comfort . So I don’t know how or where to start after this. My biggest regret that never had the chase to so him in his element , in live concert. Sorry guys I have to write out here as I don’t have any friends who are Six Gun’s .

Reita thank you for everything and you will be always my Reita (ray) of sunshine! ☀️💫⭐️

Yours truly, Rita

I recently got a lovely question from someone who wanted to start reading my fics and asked where a good place to start would be. With 32 fics on AO3 (over 700k words), that's a great question, and it really made me think!

I do have a fanfiction masterlist, but still, there are so many (and it's so hard to sort them by LI or trope). So I thought I'd put together a little post with my recommendations.

Whiskey & Scotch - my first fic, my longest (so far?), and by far my most popular. Perfect for any Bobby stan who likes a little angst, it's a slow-burn villa fic that follows the general S2 timeline but changes canon to really focus on the main character. Josie is a polarizing MC who will probably make you want to scream, or maybe throw a pillow at her. The fic also introduces Henrik's brothers (both original characters, not canon), who show up in a few of my other works. A spinoff version with Henrik as endgame is currently in the works (Whiskey & Wildflowers)

it's just a crush - another slow-burn Bobby fic, this one an AU. The MC is Gary's shy younger sister who has a crush on her brother's best friend, Bobby. It's a bit of a coming-of-age fic as well, as it starts when the characters are young and goes through time jumps until they're in their 20s.

Edge of the World - pirate Bobby! If you in any way like pirates or Bobby (or both), or just want to read a fic inspired by the boys' pirate chat at the dinner after beach day, give this one a read! There's also a sequel! Both are mid-length, so they're quick reads.

Bobby, meet Lucas - if you like m/m fics or like Bobcas as a pairing in general, do not miss this fic. I can honestly say it's some of my best writing, and chaptered m/m fics are incredibly rare in the fandom.

cashmere & cocoa - it's mostly Henrik smut, really, but it's a 4-chapter cute fic in which MC is stranded in a Swedish forest during a snowstorm and comes across a cabin.

saving the best for last - a short, fun take on Bobby's journey through the villa while MC is on a hoe route

someone like me - a cute Lucas friends-to-lovers fic

first impressions - a regency-era Bobby fic

the stars shine bright - Henrik camping fluff (fluff is rare for me)

lights, camera... love? - Bobby is a pornstar who falls for his scene partner

dewey decimal system - Noah library smut

doggy fashion - Arjun/Henrik meet cute/smut

Convince Me - a steamier version of the Roberto hot tub date

On the Rocks - a threesome spinoff from Whiskey & Scotch (can be read as a standalone but the scene is an alternate version of one from the main fic). This also has a sequel with a slightly different trio.

And there you have it! As usual these are mostly Bobby fics since that's mostly what I have, but these are definitely good places to start for those interested!
