Basic Skill Sets of Witches.

Hey there! So this post is going to include a basic skill set of being a witch. The list is generalize. After asking Elders and wading through information I came up with these basic skills. Meaning that every witch should practice and be able to do those things listed. Of course my list may not be for everyone, but remember it is in a general direction of trying to include every type of witch.

Basic skill sets of a Witch

1. Energy work- Grounding, centering, and shielding are all energy work. Also psy balls. 
2. Basic divination work- To be able to divine if there are any influences that may make your spell go wrong. Think of it this way, you check the weather before you plan a picnic right? Same concept.
3. Protection- To be able to sufficiently protect yourself, home, family, etc. 
4. Binding-  The basics of binding are to stop someone from hurting you or themselves. However I have heard there are other uses. 
5. Ability to look at things, as one person put it, "sideways". Meaning that you are able to see things as they truly are, instead of what it is packaged as. 
6. Willpower- If you do not have a willpower than nothing will be done. 
7. A sense of humor! Witchcraft is serious but also light hearted.

 Also I would suggest getting a small note pad that you can take with you to most places. If you are like me or any busy human being, you have AWESOME ideas but then forget them 11 minutes later. I bought these at the dollar store in a 3 pack for 1 dollar. Not too shabby. As you can see one is for "Journal notes" for my BOS (when I start it), "Blog notes" well for this blog, and "Random tidbits" because sometimes the elders talk about things that I haven't learned yet and its nice to write it down some where permanent to look at again. Or even quite literally, random tidbits that help me out. 

So first on the list is Energy work. That is what I will be focusing the next couple of blog posts about.

See you soon!
