My teachings will be on my own personal thoughts and I am going to do a lesson on my assigned dates.I don't have a lot of time for a lesson everyday so my ending homework will be due on my next lesson posting :)
So Lesson 1(Natural Witch)
In my teachings and being a Solo Witch I've had to learn on my own and really hardcore study myself and learn harder than being taught how I wished by my family and grandmother. So today is about the Natual gift of a witch.
I will start most feel you need a circle to perform magic or potions,herbs and spells all combine. It is seen with in history that Yes an effective method really it is just a way to increase power and maybe need in diffenert situation such as summoning or containing spirits, speically if your dealing with evil enities.In turn as A gift Witch I rarely use a circle or potions or herbs. I will use candles it to me helps magnify whatever I am focusing on. Though I just have a talent in creating hand-written spells to the situation I wish change to happen and never for personal gain. I always gather the facts and tools needed because it helps really the natural meaning behind the spell.
Hand-written spells are much more powerful than using someone else's spells because it had thier intentions behind it and may or may not work to your advantage so I suggest writing your own.
Your inner witch is a powerful force to develop into again once your older because the innocent factor in our minds gets weaker,which I noticed as a child through 7-10 I could cast any spell I found and really influence nature as I pleased it was really cool I even had my first Air Spell work and I had the air even though unseen circle like a funnel in my hands, but since I was inexperinced my good intentions brung a storm that I new I created,but being a head strong which I created a circle spell to stop the rain and all I did was draw a pentagram on my window and said a random spell and really focused and the sun appeared and I new how strong I was even though that power is more surpress now.
So if you see my example, you inner Witch is more powerful, than you think and it is all on the intentions and how you bring it about. Meditations helps me focus my energy to one place and thats my heart because I feel power is emotion and you must control your emotions or your spells,or ritual can run amoke and thats something to becarful of even with harmless spells.
Your belief also,effect your inner power,even though you may feel magic is right and believe it doesn't mean your going to see fairies and magical creatures or move things with your mind.Its not that easy,my grandmother always said " to me even soemtimes faith can go sofar.We must let our power grow with patience's and love only than will true magick come forth for those who prove worthy" I must say this statement is pretty true!
Example, I was 7 years old,I had a big issue with my dad,and one day he physical hit me and I went upstaris and cried and I notice my lamp shook but it was a sturdy lamp nothing was moving,and I lift my head up and without knowing my anger and hurt moved it to shatter on the floor.It scared me so much,I was never able to make such a feat again.So do I think my telekinetec ability is in me somewhere yes but its so surpressed its hard to bring it about because I'm nolonger in that emotional place or state of mind anymore!
So this is to show that we grow up used to the normal things in life, some of our magic might is lost and may not return unless we bring it from surpression to the real mind.
The last thing in my lesson will be always knowing who you are.It is a vaild point in being a Witch,Shaman,or ect in whatever you believe you are just like my family believed in witchcraft and such even though my cousin was a Elementalist and I had a Sorceress in my family. The point is whatever you are you must have that strong belief in yourself because you power and life is tied to the heart and emotions and you can't hope to do anything in magic or life with believing in yourself.
So my long-term assignment is to Over the course intill my next due date for lesson two is to explore your inner witch and yourself intill january and keep a diary on everything you have explore and than on the due date I want everyone to e-mail me on here a 3 page paper of thier thoughts on my lesson and how you feel yor inner witch has grown. Really take your time, explore different parts of yourself and I will see you in January :)
Homework Due January 8th,2012 at midnight,late turn in Jan 9th on my next Lesson!

This is a brilliant post! Your right about writing your own spells it just feels more powerful. I suggest everyone that reads this to keep on carrying on a journal of everything magickal (or non magickal that has importance) in a journal as it not only helps you track your thoughts but it shows how much you grow spiritually, I've been keeping a ritual journal,a dream journal and a thought journal for the past couple of years and the way my thoughts have changed in just a couple of years is amazing.
