“I Remember Everything I Studied”

I recommend keeping this sigil hidden or visibly hung in the area you normally study in (or you can just draw it on paper and keep it on you while you study).

For good measure keep this sigil with you during tests and exams as well.

Skacaga ona, The Personal Guides and Guardians of an Individuals Essence:

Skacaga ona are guides and guardians for an individual’s life. Skacaga ona are emanations of ourselves split off at different moments which embody various aspects of our essence. We can interact with these pieces of ourselves for guidance and protection. Because they are formed from your essence, they may take on the shape and connection of past entities with which your kna has interacted before, but their forms will always be connected to their lessons and the essence of you they represent. These entities are usually related to animals or mythical creatures, and we’ll use that connection to portray their message or what they are connected to. These entities involuntarily exist in and from your mental and spiritual being and are part of you and separate from you. Because of this, they have great insight into your life and can be powerful conduits for you to interact with the world. Every individual has at least one Skacaga though they may not have made their presence known.

They are created at different parts of your life, and they will either be with you the entire time or only temporarily. Lifetime skacaga ona are skacaga ona that will stick with you throughout your whole life or will be created at one point, and we’ll continue until death. Temporary Skacaga ona are guides that will show up from time to time in your life and will only stick with you for a short time.

Skacaga ona will usually come into your life to teach you a lesson and leave once the task is learned. They will come to you in times of great need, dire situations, or when you must learn a life lesson and will last with you tell that time is complete. A lot of the time, they may give you a message in meditation or your dreams. They will try to teach you everything they think you need to know and try to do it in the best manner for you when you are ready to learn it. These guides will help you problem solve and help you work through certain situations to better yourself. They are a lot like good friends that you can always count on for assistance and will help you achieve a particular desire or outcome. The practitioner will usually call on these guides to ask for their help in certain situations, but the guide can always help without being asked. These guides can be called upon when you need healing and may even be short-term guides that pop in to heal you when you are injured. Often, these guides also take the form of animals to heal you using the kna of that animal. They may also help you heal others if you ask them to and can be powerful allies in channeling healing kna. These guides will usually defend you from threats and keep you out of harm’s way. This entity will also protect you when you open yourself up to others’ kna and keep away other entities you do not want to interact with. They will also cover the connection of entities you’re communicating with during spiritual communication. These guides may also tell you how to defend yourself and will keep watch over you. Skacaga ona inspires and motivates practitioners to create and get you to make and create new things. They will try to be your muse, can inspire arts, and can help clear artist block.

Skacaga ona of the shadows:

Skacaga ona of the shadows are guides that challenge you to face the hidden parts of yourself that you don’t usually deal with. This usually makes you deal with fears, insecurities, and remote parts of your sub-conscience, That you may have locked away. These guides may also take forms that you fear or are uncomfortable around to show that they are the shadow guide. They will do all of this to allow you to better yourself and are a manifestation of your shadow side.

Ways of communicating with your Skacaga ona:

There are many ways to communicate with your guides to build bonds and gain insight from them. Individuals and their Skacaga ona can have different preferences for how they would like to communicate. Because of this finding, the right communication method will allow you to communicate more effectively. There are three primary ways to communicate with Skacaga ona: divination, Vaskaknaova, and dreams. You can get their attention by asking aloud for them to appear to you before you dream, divination, or Vaskaknaova. Doing this will call them to appear.

Beginner Witch Tips

Read. Before you even think about practicing magick, you need to study. It sounds tedious, I know, but witchcraft is not a trivial undertaking. 

Start a grimoire/Book of Shadows/Journal. You’ll need a safe place to keep all of the information you’ve gathered safe, and a grimoire (as I call mine), is essentially a notebook for that exact purpose. It doesn’t have to be fancy (though you’re welcome to make it as ostentatious as you like), – it can be a bullet journal if that’s easy for you. Within your grimoire, you should keep all gathered information, spells, failures, successes, records of work you’ve done, etc,. Anything that pertains to your craft.

Don’t put pressure on yourself to pick a path. You might see a lot of witches who class themselves as one thing or another, e.g., storm witches, kitchen witches, elemental witches, spirit/divination witches; green witches; cosmic witches, and so on.That is cool and their prerogative, but you will also see witches known as eclectic. Eclectic Witches, are simply witches who choose to practise many different types of magick and forge their own path, instead of following only one, or following a pre-established path. Basically, there is no need at all, whatsoever, to label yourself. With many of us, our paths found us in time. 

Research paths, secular witchcraft and religious witchcraft.Witchcraft alone, is a practice. However, some paths are indeed religious, such as Wicca. Make sure you know the difference before you begin actively practicing and before you decide on your path, if you do choose to do so.

Carry a little notebook on your person.You can’t always carry your grimoire with you, so I personally like to carry a tiny little notebook with me, for those moments when inspiration takes me, or if something captures my imagination or attention. You can add it to your grimoire/BoS later.

Oh, and one more thing: don’t ever stop learning and reading and recording. Witchcraft is a path of continuous learning.

Things to Research:

Crystals/gemstones/minerals

Herb and crystal correspondences, e.g., such as color and planetary.

Easy Practices for New Witches:
