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 #4: Making a metaphysical familiar is tough business. Make sure you're prepared for the task, and know what you're doing beforehand.
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
Rowan's Witchy Tips #6: Do you have no idea what's going on when people talk about witchcraft? You have to pierce the veil first, you goober. There's probably a guide out there somewhere idk
Rowan's Witchy Tips #7: Do not trust the friendly white woman who insists her magic works through the medium of an ASMR youtube video. Just... please, learn how to do meditation and cleansing and whatnot on your own. There is absolutely no way those videos are reliable
Witchy Tips #8: Always remember that nobody knows what they're doing~
Witchy Tips #9: If you're making instant hot chocolate and you don't feel like going through the hassle of heating up milk, just pretend you're making instant tea/coffee and add the milk in afterwards.
Witchy Tips #10: Out of body experiences are great! Just... y'know...
Be careful about messing with stuff out there
Witchy Tips #11: Connecting with your own mindscape and going out-of-body are not the same thingβ make sure you know the difference~
Witchy Tips #12: Experience can drown out belief, with time. There is no need to believe in something half-heartedly when you can experience it fully.
Witchy Tips #13: In the midnight hours, staring up at a full moon, you will feel a slight emptiness. Grab onto it and hold it close to your chestβ then, open your eyes.
Witchy Tips #14: The moon does not carry the same weight as the Earth, and yet its potential energy is far stronger. Feel confident when the moon sways you.
Witchy Tips #15: Liminal spaces are excellent for witchcraft, but they carry their own dangers. Just as the world around you feels susceptible to change, you open yourself up to change as well. Be cautious.
Witch Tips #17: Do not attempt to find meaning in dreams.
Witch Tips #18: Always attempt to find meaning in dreams.
Witch Tips #19: Do not // attempt to dream walk. Do not // attempt to contact another witch through dreams. Do not // climb the stairs to the top floor of the library. Do not // enter the elevator. Do not // speak with the woman in the spider dress.
Witch Tips #20: Do you still have no idea what the fuck we're talking about? Try meditating until your limbs feel numb and unresponsive. The next step is a secret~
Witch Tips #21: If you can't make your own ancestral nature deity, store bought is fine
Witch Tips #22: Start a microbrewery.
Witch Tips #23: Coincidences are only coincidences until you prove them otherwise.
Witch Tips #24: There is nothing actually special about four in the morning. You're just tired.
Witch Tips #25: You keep seeing something from the corner of your eye. It's a bit haunting, but you are well aware that it means you no harm. One day you catch it in full view, and
You keep seeing something from the corner of your eye.
Witch Tips #26: Liminal spaces can be exited by using the standard method that you've set up in advance.
You did set up the method in advance, right?

Witch Tips #28: Nightmares can be gentle, if you nurture them
Witch Tips #29: Do not hesitate.
Witch Tips #30: You don't need to spend money on an athame if you're not feeling it. In fact, it may work better to use a simple stand-in that you're familiar with.
Witch Tips #31: If you think somebody may be a witch, and you're worried about asking them about it, don't be. Assuming you're not being an overbearing asshole about it, most of us won't mind
Witch Tips #32: If somebody peddles their method as "the only REAL way to practice witchcraft" they should be avoided at all costs
Witch Tips #33: No seriously there was a coven I saw on a forum that claimed only Irish people could perform real witchcraftβ specifically, you had to be ethnically Irish, be born in Ireland, and live in Ireland for the grand majority of your life. If you somehow managed to fail these requirements (/s) then you could still join, given that you acknowledge that your witchcraft will always be inferior to "real Irish witches."
It was really fuckin weird.
Witch Tips #34: The bramble will entwine itself around you and within you. Do not be afraid.
