The decision is become a Wiccan or a Witch is something that people consider carefully before making the final decision. Sometimes some element of witchcraft fascinates people and they decide to take a closer look. Or, they may have friends who are involved in witchcraft and they become interested. In many cases people discover that Wicca and Witchcraft beliefs are the same as their own beliefs. Here are some things to do to get started.

Read everything you can find to get more information about Wicca and Witchcraft.

Learn as much as you can about the basic beliefs and tenets of this path so that you can decide if the old ways are right for you.

Meet witches in your local area and get to know them.

Make a list of the reasons why you think Witchcraft is your path. What does being a Witch mean to you? What do you want to achieve and learn? What are your fears? How do you see the Goddess and God? What does the Divine mean to you?

Those are just a few. My local library has quite a few books, but they are always checked out or on hold. You could easily spend a fortune on all the books that are available, but start with Book of Shadows. See what aspects of witchcraft fascinate you the most and pursue additional details about these particular subjects. You can also search for used books on Amazon and www.half.com. I recently discovered www.paperbackswap.com which has been a great way to trade old books for new things that interest me. There are all sorts of books to consider for your personal magick research library. Something I really like about Amazon is that you can read reviews from others. There will almost always be some good and some bad, but see how the majority of people feel about particular books. This will help you choose the more high quality books on the market.
