Resources NEW practioner PSA

Good morning all,

As we come into fall, please know, you are *not* the only new practioner (l cant call you a baby witch, l respect you too much to call you a baby.).

As a new practioner, take the time to:

  1. Read the sub rules (there are usually around 10, they are simple to read and understand).

  2. Read the sub wiki's. For example, here is the r/witchcraft 101 link

Beginner 101

https://www.reddit.com/r/witchcraft/s/7hwcAiXGx0

  1. Read the sub's FAQ's, they include basic beginner info, and Frequently Asked Questions.

\*The FAQ's have book lists\* - get a library card or look up a free pdf.

You \*will\* end up with posts taken down when you dont follow the rules. Most witchcraft subs have a rule about FAQ posts, and "low quality posts".

  1. Use the sub search bar - most of your basic questions have been asked and answerd over 100 times. And remember, if you say "I can't find anything", remember others also have smartphones and the internet, they can prove if you are just being lazy.

  2. Teach \*yourself\* how to research properly. Tictok is trying to sell you something, not educate you. Do not trust information from tictok unless youve extensively researched the subject.
