hi my name is Domanick and i'm like super new to this religion and i realy want to learn but im haveing truble with clearing my mind and the actual preforming of spells
well try meditating it really does help and I do have a spell that 100% works with meditation its on spell caster's and spells I would be practicing should be protection or nature spells though's spells usually work
Try the meditation on my bio page. It is to relax and clear the mind. Also learn basics so you understand how magick works. Its not just candles and words, and "poof" it works. Really learn and get to know what magick is all about before casting.

Hi there, I?ve been practicing Wicca for a good many years now and one of the first questions that comes up is the one about where to start. My suggestion is always to start by doing some reading and studying to make certain that you understand what Wicca is really all about, and so that you can then decide whether this is truly the path that you want to follow. So with that in mind I thought I would offer some books and websites that are full of sound I information which can help you get started on your path.
To start with, here are some books that I would suggest.
''A Witch Alone'' by Marian Green
''The Elements of Ritual'' by Deborah Lipp
''Witchcrafting'' by Phyllis Curott
''21st Century Wicca'' by Jennifer Hunter
''Before You Cast a Spell'' by Carl McColman
''When, Why...If'' by Robin Wood
''Practical Pagan'' by Dana Eilers
''Wicca; A Year and a Day'' by Timothy Roderick

Here's some websites that you may find useful in helping you with questions.

Hope this helps you get a good start on your studies. And feel free to ask me, or the others here on the board if you have any specific questions we can help you with.
