F.A.Q.
Inspired by littlecitywitch’s faq directory I decided it was time to set up a proper faq page after a year’s worth of messages and questions being asked, some being repeated. It is also much easier to see what’s been
Before you ask a question please look here first and see if it’s already been asked. If you don’t see your question here then feel free to send me a message.
Where to start?
- I have recently taken an interest in Wicca and Paganism. Are there any good books you can suggest on the subjects?
- Well im interested in Wicca and Witchcraft really, but I don’t know much about both, there’s just so much information, where do I start?
- I am interested in becoming pagan, where should I start
- So I’ve recently been getting into Wiccanism.. But I don’t really know what the initiation ritual is
- I’m a high school student, and my friends and I are starting a Metaphysical/Witchcraft Club at School. We have some ideas as to do for the club, such as group spells, reading tarot and tea leaves, as well as celebrations for all the Sabbats. However, I was wondering if you had any suggestions as to what else we could do? we want to be able to make the club open to those of all religions, not just those who practice Wicca.
- Do you have any suggestions on a Book of Shadows?
- what do you think of covens/study groups? do you have to join a coven and how do i do that?
- was wondering if you knew any spells for pregnant women? or if you could point me in the direction of someone who does, or perhaps a book containing such spells?
- i was wondering if it’s possible to be wiccan without believing in any god
- recently i’ve been reading a lot about wicca because i think it’s really fascinating, and i pretty much agree with everything i’ve read, except for the fact that i don’t believe in any god(s)
- I’ve been struggling to figure out what path to follow, belief-wise and I agree with a lot of things I’ve read on here, about Paganism and Wicca. I know I’m different than most people I meet but I’m just not sure what I can categorize myself as
- read in a different answer that there’s something called Reconstuctionists, and that some of them practise something Finnish? As I’m half Finnish it immediately caught my attention. Can you tell me more about this, or somewhere I can find information about it?
- Can you give me some advice on sabbats, and rituals i can perform for them.
- can u tell me whats the difference between a pentagram/pentacle made of silver, metal, rock, wood or any other material?
- What is the root or connection of Paganism with the earth and it’s animals?
- I was just wondering, how does one find out who their patron Goddess/God (s) is/are
- what do you mean when you say that our patron god/goddess chooses us, and that we don’t choose them?
- Would it be wrong to worship a pantheon outside of your culture? For example, I am not Native American so would it be wrong of me to worship Native American gods/goddesses?
- What do you say when someone asks what gods you believe in?
Crystals
- What are the ideal crystals (or stones) for the chakras? I’m planning on buying some, but I have no idea where to start!
- when u charge ur stones (for chakra work) do you then put it in ur receptive hand til it tingles and let the energy flow back in
- I recently broke open a rock (I hope that’s not bad or cruel to the earth) because it sparkled on the outside. It sparkled even brighter on the inside. what would you call this type of rock, if you could?
- Where might one find a crystal? Besides in shops?
- what do you consider to be one of the most powerful crystals or stones to help heal a loved one?
- I’m sorry, but the way you’re justifying your meat consumption sounds like you’re saying “it’s hurting something either way, so why not?” I don’t want to seem like I’m attacking you, because I’m not, I just think perhaps you should see how big an impact even organic, free-range livestock raising before you continue to support eating meat, especially as a Pagan :/ Perhaps look into it a bit and maybe condone reducing meat intake?
- You mentioned the pre-colonialism folk religion of the Philippines. As a Filipina and a polytheist, this really sparked my interest. I started looking around on Wikipedia, but if you could recommend any books or websites for further reading/research, I’d really appreciate it.
- are you excited for the consciousness shift on the 21st of December?
- What do you believe the shift is going to be…just wondering. Because many people try to scare me and others with the end of the world stuff. I don’t believe anything will really happen. Just a nice lunar event. Im not sure. I just want a general nice answer to the situation. It bothers me here and there due to the fears.
