Witchcraft has always intersted me since I was a little girl. I used to watch Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Charmed, Buffy and Angel religiously. I never had the resources at that age to open myself up to it. Now that I have the resources to devote myself to the craft I don’t have the space or tools. I became intersted in the craft again almost over a year ago. I began going to the library to study and learn to see if it was for me without spending the money first. I was honestly so hungry for spiritual fufilment and wicca was calling me. I was unhappy with christianity and pretty much have always been. I was raised in a christian family but I am just rebelious by nature. I needed and wanted something more. I also had gone through a bad break up and wanted to explore spellcraft, especially love spells. Know that I can afford to buy some of my own things I am a part of a book club called Onespirit that I buy resources from. I hope to obtain my own tools soon aswell. The problem is I don’t really have the privacy to practice in my own home. I want my spells to work and that needs time and concentration. My parents overstep my boundaries all the time and there is pretty much nothing I can do about it. I was thinking of going to a local park or finding a local hidden spot to perform spells. As for right know I am using my time to slowly collect resources and supplies. The hardest part of this lifestyle for me is not having anyone to talk to except over the internet. I can’t hardly find a black wiccan either. I do not want to join a coven and wish to stay a free spirit. I haven’t told my family about this but I don’t care what they think. I prefer to keep my life private but if they found out they wouldn’t act too bad. My parents are spiritual but My grandma is a total jesus freak. I would only be worried about my grandma finding out only because I don’t want to deal with her judgemental bullshit.
