You can love yourself and still desire to change. I love my garden, but I plant new things constantly.
My love doesn't require immutability.

It's weird how so many people seem to associate crows with the night. I guess because they're black?
Crows sleep through the night, though. In fall and winter you can see them flying off to gather in large roosts just around sunset. I can think of only one encounter I've had with a crow after dark, and that crow was very much dying.
Anyway, the point is that crows are creatures of sunlight. There are a lot of "witchy" crow and moon motifs around, but there should really be more crow and sun.

In my coven (for lack of a more suitable translation), we learn the craft to become powerful. Not to have fun. Not to just try it. Not out of curiosity. But to use it as a weapon. The way the 1% use money as ammunition. And while the depth of our teachings are hidden, here is how it all begins.
1) Record Your Dreams
They are a portal to the future, parallel realities and other worlds. Keep a journal on your nightstand. Every morning, list down everything you saw and heard in your dreams. Dates, names and entire scenarios. Reread your journal every couple of weeks to see how the symbols manifested in your life. This is you learning to harvest prophecies in your sleep.
2) Log Your Predictions
If you read the cards, take a photo of every spread and write down your interpretation. If you scry, record your every vision. Leave a space in your notes so you can come back at a later date and comment on the correctness of your predictions. The more clearly you can see where you went right or wrong, the more you can strive towards precision.
3) Analyze People
When you interact with people, take the time to gaze at them and really listen to what they are saying. Soon enough you will be able to know what is going on inside their mind. You will catch gestures, expressions and intonations that reveal their true intentions This logical exercise will awaken the magical side of mind-reading that may be latent inside you.
4) Embody Confidence
Whether you are extroverted or introverted, find your inner beauty and greatness, and give them a chance to come out of hiding. When you are confident in who you are, other people’s energy are drawn towards you, fueling your spirit. You also attract the attention of nearby entities who may choose to reveal their presence to you and grant you favors.
5) Level Up Your Spellwork
Most of the spells you will find on the internet serve as therapeutic activities that may make you feel better psychologically or emotionally, but have no real magic in them. I recommend acquiring a copy of Witchcraft: A Handbook of Magic Spells and Potions (2016) by Anastasia Greywolf. It is a good introduction to authentic spells from all around the world.
6) Learn Your Natal Chart
The sky when you were born is a map of your gifts and strengths. A great dancer will never torture herself for not being able to sing well. Song is not her craft, movement is. You too must hone the skills you have the potential for. Astro-charts is easy to navigate and offers a free service with the option to switch between different astrological systems.
7) Find Your Divination Method
Not everyone will be great at reading tarot or Lenormand. Perhaps your true talent lies in evoking visions from a crystal ball… in calculating the future through the stars… or in seeing one’s destiny by looking at their palms. I recommend The Divination Handbook (2019) by Liz Dean for an overview of your options.
