Magic Forums

Hello!

I have never had an interst in magick before, I'm not someone who has seen strange things or has felt '' a gift ''. Im not a natural born '' witch'' if you understand what I mean. But I am very open-minded, and my mother always believed this kind of things. I want to learn. I have some questions! Please try to answer as manyh as you can, if you don't mind. I couln't get wiser from the faqs, newbie and other forum threads.

1. How to know if you've meditated well enough to start a spell?
2. What exactly is grounding and how to do this?
3. What exactly is centering and how to do this?
4. What are some easy ( chant ) spells to start with? ( harmless )
5. How to improve your magick ? Any possibilities to find a '' teacher '' on this website? Corresponding together?
6. How to find your element?
7. Any info about your guardian?
8. Do people have their own special gift, and if so how to find out about it?

I am willing to work on this and I believe but I'm also a bit afraid. I heard some scary things going around, like people becoming out of their mind, being traumatized for life because of a spell. Or the backfiring.
I want to ( in the far future of course ), be able to do chant spells, know my guardian, my element and be able to make my own spells. I don't want to use any ingredi?nts or anything to dangerous or hard. But if you could help me getting started, it would be amazing! I thank you already so much in advance, I know I asked so much, but you all seemed very nice in the other forums, so I thought, I'll give it a shot! :)
