Hi Jean,

Eagerness to learn magick is the most important requirement to become a witch. And seem to have plenty of it! J

First of all, you will have to understand more about magick and the Wicca religion if you are serious about becoming a witch. Some books that you can read are:

Buckland’s Complete Book Of Witchcraft by Raymond Buckland

Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner by Scott Cunningham

In addition, you can visit used-book stores and your local library for more information on Wicca and Witchcraft.

When you have made up your mind to join the Wicca religion, try to find a wicca group (coven) near you:

Go to http://www.witchvox.net

Search for your town and see if you can become part of a coven where they will take over the rest of your initiation into the Wicca religion.

If you cannot find a coven near you, or would like to perform self-initiation, then follow the process explained in the guide for the Solitary Practitioner.

As far as the powers of a witch are concerned, there is no difference between one who has been self-initiated and one who was initiated by another. The initiation is just a formal ceremony to mark an individual’s decision to pledge allegiance to the Goddess and God.

One can practice Witchcraft even if they do not know any other witches. Being a witch is an individual right that all humans have and no other human being can give or take away this right. All witches need to pledge however, to never use witchcraft for negative reasons and always preserve and respect nature.

Blessed Be!
