Rowan's witchy tip of the day: You should try to "rinse" your energy at least once a month. Not only does it feel great, it makes delicate tasks much easier to achieve.
Rowan's Witchy Tips 1.1: Terminology is extremely flexible and will vary from person to person, depending on how they were taught. I'd like to spend some time researching witch nomenclature, but for the time beingβ "energy" refers to the manipulatable, metaphysical stuff that exists in and around us. I'd call itγπππππ πππγbut that name probably only appeals to me 
Rowan's Witchy Tips #2: Practicing the basics is important. There's no point in trying anything complex without the stability of basic exercises.
Rowan's Witchy Tips #3: Basic shielding is good for you. A simple barrier around your living space will deter all manner of bugaboos and grabblesnorps.
Rowan's Witchy Tips #3.1: If you use witchcraft as an excuse to not wear a mask in public I *will* punch you in the face and then say a grabblesnorp did it
Rowan's Witchy Tips #5: Nobody I know will actually take Tip #4 seriously, so here's a crash course:
1) brush up on your fundamentals
2) have a plan set up BEFORE you begin. What with the familiar's role be? How will they achieve that role? Where will they get their energy from?
3) gather up materialsβ at the bare minimum you will want an object of some significance to you that will store the necessary πππππ πππ.
4) Charge up your πππ πππππππ over the course of several weeks
5) do the thing

[oh no what if this becomes the guide]
