Im 15/f. At the moment I'm a Christian, but I'm considering becoming a solitary witch. I've got some questions I'd like to know the answers to from people who actually practise witchcraft and aren't just writing a book
1) Do I need to start praying to the God straight
away?
2) Do I definetely need a separate altar, goddess
shrine, god shrine and lunar shrine because I
only have a small room
3) Does being a witch cost a lot of money?
I'm too young to get a job so I don't have
much money
Don't get me wrong, I really want to become a witch. It's just that the books I'm reading just aren't answering all my questions as they are written by older women dedicated to the craft completely, not a young beginner. Any sources of information or tips on becoming and being a solitary witch are also welcome.
Thanx to the moon and back xxx
I congratulate you for being intelligent enough to question the faith you were raised in. Most people stay Christian because they're used to it, because it is familiar... not because they truly have faith and feel it is right.
As you can see for yourself, you'll probably get a lot of crap for wanting to practice a religion that feels right for you. People don't know any better than to put down what they don't believe in. It is sad, yes, but the small minded have so much to say on things they know so little about.
As for your questions:
1) Praying isn't neccesary.. not for a while anyway. It is more a directing of energy than praying... I always thought praying to be ineffective, myself.
2) One altar is fine, as long as symbols of both the God and Goddess are present.
3) All the money I suggest you spend is the couple of cents for some incense sticks... maybe buy a book or two. I'm fond of anything by Scott Cunningham... "Wicca" is good.. for the Solitary Practicioner.
Don't let anyone tell you what is right for you. If you end up feeling that Christianity is the way for you... then good! If you choose Wicca, even better!... If you wind up Buddhist... that's fine, too. Whatever makes you happy..

Does the ouija board really work?bb
I personally believe it works. I have *seen* it work, and I have plenty of stories about it working. I don't expect you to take my word for it.. but assuming you DO choose to use one, here's a bit of advice:
Be very very careful when you use a ouija board. Although Parker Brothers manufactures some that can be bought in toy stores, it is most definitely NOT a toy! The spirits that communicate through ouija boards have a lot to say, and like not all people are good... not all spirits are good either. They can be tricky and deceptive... they can say they're demons or the Devil himself and really spook whoever is using the board. Unless you are highly capable of controlling the spirits that come through, its not something you want to mess with.
Also, once you call spirits forward using the board, you better know how to make them leave. Good or not, you don't want spirits thinking they've got an open invitation to live with you or follow you around.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to IM me on AIM: tearsthatsear
