Some little things I've learned over a decade of witchcraft:
- If you are feel called to work but are tired/drained, sit outside. Take in all the energies around you. Nature can help charge you
- Every witch does a little bit of a bunch of types of magic but sticks mainly to one or two in general. You usually won't be eclectic forever. You'll find what magics work best with you.
- Never be lazy or cut corners with spirits. Always be respectful and always tell them to leave when you're done
- When you see a plant or ingredient with a long list of properties, there are different things at play. Season of collection, the part of the plant, the health of the plant, etc all play a role in impacting which properties it will carry.
- Don't call on spirits unless you have confidence and control
- Be careful with sea/water magic. Get into it gently and slowly until you have the energy figured out because it can get out of hand quickly.
- Adding a little pinch of magic into your breakfast can make a major difference in your day.
- Your personal emotions/feelings over something will impact a work
- Planting some plants is good, not only to have a garden, but the dirt helps cleanse you too. Get all dirty and muddy. It's good for ya
- Not all trees are nice
- The more you listen to your intuition, the easier it will be to tell it apart from your anxieties and worries
- Incense is very easy to make which is why it's usually cheap to buy. But you can find a million tutorials online on how to make your own personal incense which is great if you want a spell to take effect over a while but also want to infuse the fire energy in it.
- The more you work with something the better feel you get for it. Cinnamon goes in almost everything i cook and most of my spells because me and cinnamon just get right along
- Your path is yours and no one else's. It will look like yours and no one else's

I get the "what characters inspired [insert character here]" question a lot!
Here's some of em! I was gonna elaborate on each one but I'm lazy hahahaha. I feel like most of them are fairly obvious. Most of these are design-wise but some are based on vibes, or personality. Though a lot of the time a character's vibe and their design go hand in hand.
