Once this calling comes to you, you should read everything that you can find in bookstores and on the internet if you can. Read about Wicca, its history, the persecutions it suffered under ignorant tyrants and the golden age that we see now where more and more people are joining this religion without fear of reprisal.

Write your thoughts daily in a diary or journal. Learn more about the Goddess and God and the Deities that may be called upon to assist during rituals. Think about what you love about this religion and what you don’t. Learn more about yourself, what you like, what you want your future to be and how to go about creating it.

Think of a dedication ritual that you can do to initiate yourself into this religion. If you would like to have others help you through this stage, you can find a coven or grove near your home so that you can celebrate festivals and other sacred holidays together.

Make a commitment to yourself and to the Divine that you will live in close harmony with nature and the Earth. Learn about the importance of casting circles, calling quarters, invoking the Goddess and God and raising energy for your spells and rituals. Also learn about grounding, centering, closing and opening the circle.

To be a good witch, you need to strengthen your powers of concentration, meditation and visualization. Like everything else in life, practice makes everything perfect.
