My name is High Priest Finrod Sere. I have been practicing for over a decade now. So, you've decided that you'd like to enter the circle. Excellent, you are most welcome. But before you begin I'd like to make you aware of a few things.

Magik is not something to be taken lightly. If you're looking for something to show off in front of your friends with - Things that you see in the movies or on TV, witchcraft does not happen like that.

In fact I would go as far to say that magik should be used as a last resort and not the first port of call. I have observed that there has been an abuse of this by many practitioners.

I'd like to share my knowledge as a High Priest. Before you even think think about performing a spell, my friend - take these words into consideration.

"It takes roughly one month work to become a habit."

With that in mind please think carefully before you perform a spell. Some examples of how you can apply the above phrase.

If you seek a spell to gain confidence - Try talking to random strangers for one month. A simple "Hi" or "Good morning" will suffice. Force yourself to it if confidence is a major issue.

If you seek a spell to get a job - Apply for jobs for one month. Get up first thing and start job hunting.

If you seek a spell for luck - Then start taking chances for one month. Play the lottery, horses, if a coupon comes through your door asking you to complete a survey, which has a prize for completing it; then complete it. Someone dear to me once said that "luck isn't something you get given, its something you earn." This passage has a lesson within it. If you learn and understand this lesson, you are a very wise person.

This is not a lecture, rant or a rave. This is simple advice from a friend who has learned many hard lessons which you have yet to learn.
