Connecting with the elements?
Posted by EmeraldDragonfly on 2010-04-26 19:51:25 |
| Hello im one of those "newbies". However I have been reading for the past 7 months and am on a solitary wiccan path. I haventdone any spells or rituals yet but am wanting to cast a circle to just connect with the elements and the Goddess and basically meditate for awhile. I am however afraid of doing something wrong, I read in a book that if you do mess up that the elements can make your life a little messy. So I wasnt sure if I read that right or if I misunderstood what I was reading. Thank you for your time and help. Blessed Be |

| darlin' several things: a) you shouldnt be afraid of doing something wrong, because you'll never learn if you dont make mistakes b) with something so simple as a circle, if you DO make a mistake. there arent exactly many consequences. c) deities wont exactly mind, (nor with the elements) if you call them out of order. or forget the words. especially if your just new and trying it out. let loose a little! |

| Thanks Almost! Too truly spoken! Calm down, the Way is all about the natural flow. If you're doing this powerful ritual and calling up all of these energies, you're only going to get a little trouble if you simply walk away from it all without any type of closure. You'll do fine, just breathe! *laughs* |

| forgot to add: if you're worried about messing up. plan it to the nines. write it down. practice setting up before you put the energy into it. you can say what your going to say, without it having any effect, just for practice. it works when you say it with conviction and purpose. write it down step by step and take the paper into the circle with you for the first few times until you feel a little more comfortable |

| There really isn't a "wrong" way to do anything in Wicca, it's one of the reasons I love it so much. When casting a circle, just empty your mind of negativity and focus, maybe try it outside in the woods. As long as you go with good intentions, the gods and spirits will recognize it and guide you on your path. No spell or ritual is set in stone, you can ALWAYS change a word, an herb, a candle, a type of incense, even the deity or element it's directed at to make it feel right to you and suit your needs. Just be confident and everything will workout. |

| Hey Emerald Dragonfly! Just wanted to say Hello because I think we started at almost the same time. I started end of September last year but I see you're doing better than I am because see i even haven't figured out my wiccan name. hehe. Anyway, no rush for me. I've thought of several names before but whenever I'm about to accept my new name, a newer and *better* one would just pop out of my head. So, just like with everything else, there's always the right time. I'm still on the learning side though, haven't done any practice for the same reason as yours. But Almost is right. nothing to worry about. c: PS. Hi Almost! Nice to see you're back! |
