However, if you’re just starting out, without a doubt, witchcraft can be pretty intimidating. With so many different practices, belief systems, and versatile categories to learn, it can easily leave you feeling overwhelmed and confused about how to even begin with it. But don’t worry, that’s where we come in. And today, we’re going to talk all about witchcraft for beginners. 

With that said, in this article, we’re going to share with you our top 10 personal beginner witch tips to help you transition into your own witchcraft journey a little more smoothly. So whether you’re just starting out or are already along your journey and in need of a little guidance, we hope this article will help you to find a better understanding of the path of the witch and all the magick within you and around you. Let’s get started. 

As we move out of the spiritually charged month of October, we begin making our way through November, welcoming in changes in love, shifts in our emotions, and some much-needed spiritual transformations. As we kick off this autumnal month, we move steadily through the sign of the ambitious and passionate Scorpio, pushing us to explore our romantic and personal endeavors more closely. The Scorpio is a water sign that knows nothing but intensity in all that they do; therefore, with this scorpion symbol leading the way, it’s going to remind us that it’s time to face our fears and stop running. More than anything, it’s time to begin exploring our conscious minds more closely to better understand ourselves in both our light and our dark areas in order to live a balanced and more fulfilling life. This will also have us examining deep emotional problems a little bit closer this month in order to finally cut past ties and move forward freely once and for all. 

Aside from this, there will also be a trine with Mercury and Jupiter at the start of November, which will stir up new opportunities. This will help to give a positive boost to your mind about the possibilities all around you and push you to find a new optimism towards pursuing your goals. This is likely to inspire you to get things done right off the bat and set a productive tone for the remainder of the month. And in the third week of November, the Zodiac wheel will turn once more to the adventurous and intellectual Sagittarius, shifting our minds to a more positive vibration, empowering us to take on anything life throws at us. This, alongside the eclipse in Taurus on the 19th, will skyrocket our lives and shift our minds towards intensity, likely having all the signs feeling a little on edge. 

Overall, November will be a powerful month of working through repressed emotions, trying new things, and seeking balance in all aspects of our lives. But to give you some insight into what you can expect to feel personally through the month, today, we're going to touch on what energies and changes each Zodiac sign can expect throughout November and how you can truly make the most of it. 

For many, the term ‘witch’ puts the image of make-believe, long-nosed, green hags with pointy hats and evil cackles into their mind. These characters were often seen riding brooms, casting spells, and working with black cats on Halloween night to stir up trouble. However, modern-day witches of today are very real and very different. In fact, they exist in many different cultures and religions today and are all around us (and no, they don’t come with the pointy nose and evil cackle - well, at least, most don’t). 

Despite what many believe, witches are much different than their old-time cartoon depictions and are simply souls that own their power through nature-based practices that can be followed uniquely by many different religions, beliefs, and cultures. Because of this, truly no two witches will share the same practice and will likely conduct their craft very differently. However, despite the differences, one thing witches do seem to have in common is many of the same personality traits and lifestyle choices that lead them to this path. And since more people are feeling a call towards the path of witchcraft now more than ever, we wanted to do a fun article about witchcraft today and talk about some signs that you yourself may be a witch and may not even know it. 

So, without further ado and in honor of the spookiest month of the year, here is a list of our top 13 signs that you may be a witch just waiting to awaken.
