oh yeahh and what about astral protection . what should i work on before going to the astral planes

You should practice meditation for a year and a day. This is so you can really learn to focus. You should know all the basics before you attempt to cast any spell. You must understand exactly what you are doing.

Well, the year and a day time slot is specific to the Western traditions such as Witchcraft and Wicca. I wonder what specifications are for the Eastern traditions.

or high magic

Even eastern religions feel you need to practice for a time as you learn to manipulate energy through meditation. It does not mean you don't learn any other from of magic. As you practice meditation read ad much as you can and cross reference material. Memorize the color correspondences, learn herbs, stones, etc. Find a divination topic you like and try that. Don't forget to work on your chakras as well. then perhaps in time you will be able to cast a spell.

did i get a post deleted here? just wondering so i don't commit a second offense, although i cant see what was offensive about the post.

Ok, really new at this, but so excited to cast this one particular spell. Isn't there something I can do to accomplish my objective?

Have you learned your basics hon?^-^

"Meditation,Visualisation,Grounding centering,shielding,tools,colours,correspondances,days,planetary hours,moon phases,energy flow and manipulation"?

FIRST you need to learn your basics and THEN you can cast spells :]

Love and Light xx

Well, I'm on my own. I can sit, meditate, but I'm not sure about this grounding and centering. Is there a book, or is it just something that's learned? Thank you for answering me so quickly!
