lol dont be silly! We woudl all love to here your stories. This is what this board is aobut - sharing stories (and of course info and experiecnes, etc too!) So whenever you have time, if you want to or if you feel like it, just start a thread about your stories! lol yes im quite sure many parents would flip out seeing such a book! lol maybe cover it with paper, or HIDE IT IN A VERY SAFE PLACE!!! Or maybe just borrow your friends books or when you go over to their house or sumtin - read it! Another thing - you cant live in fear of being discovered for your whole life. Youve gotta let them know one day anyways right? Parents can be surprising sometimes (jsut sometimes ) and they might be a little more accepting than youd think. Well mine were - well not really, they dont accept it, they jsut dont care. They think ill get over it - we'll see! And im pretty sure you can find many articles from some of those books put on the internet...ive come across quite a few! Just look around...(not the entire book, but jsut a few interesting pages/articles)

ok I dont know if this question was taking care of or not but hey whats another opinion right.
When it is time to worship a particular deity you will not have to ask anyone you will just know.
Yea ha ha right it dont make sence but say your patron diety which of course is the diety that you are more attunded with, will know how to make contact with you.
For example I am as you all cant tell a person who likes knowlege and wisdom I was leaning towards Athena, I had a dream where an owl spoke to me and ask me to follow it. I woke up and nothing else was told to me that night. THe very next day I went to a craft bazar. Sitting in a booth hidden behind a bunch of junk was a copper staute. I like shinry things so I went to uncover it and to see what it was. YOu won't believe what it was ......................................It was a staute of Athena (Greek Goddess of Widsom, war and crafts for the wiccan /deity beginner)

umm I guess whenver you feel you're ready and really have the time to concentrate on it. But personally I'd wanna read up all i can on Wicca for atleast a good few months before getting into divination but that's just me.

Well considering that divination isn't only restricted for wiccans/witches only - I'd say anytime youre ready. You dont have to know a whole ton about wicca before you start divination. Some people have done divination their whole life but have never heard of wicca. You just need the concentration and focus to pracitice divination. If you feel youre ready - go and try it! There is never harm in trying! And it might not work the first time, or the second time - but that doesnt mean that youre not ready yet - it jsut takes practice, as everything does.
So my answer, in short is - whenever youre ready, try it!

I agree KA - with everythign you just said.
A dollar shop can really be a pagan's best friends...in terms of supplies! (and our wallets!)
And yeah, when the new moon comes around - start divination. New moons are a good time to start new projects. Whenever i write a novel or start a piece of art (or anything that takes a long time to finish) i always start it on a new moon.
Works for me - so when you feel ready to start divination, wait until the new moon!

Its just that the moon has differnet phases and each phase has its own power.
Here, this use to be an article on Wiccan Pride that I wrote - it might clear things up (or give a little more depth into the subject).
-- Working With Lunar Energy
The moon is full of energy, as you probably have already realized. In Wicca, you can do different kinds of magick under each different phase of the moon.
The New Moon : Initiation During the new moon, its good to start new adventures or projects, or if you’ve just met a new love, do some magick to make the relationship flourish! This is also a good time to get pregnant, as it would be a new beginning for a child. You could also start a new life, career, life, etc. Look for change and difference, something new!
The Waxing Moon : Growth Potential This is when the moon is growing larger, therefore it is a time for you to grow too. A time for you to develop and continue to build what you’ve already begun. Continue to construct. For example if you’re pregnant, develop your pregnancy into a normal healthy way.
The Full Moon : Heart’s Desire Seek Take from the Wiccan Rede – ‘When the Moon rides at her peak, then you heart’s desire seek!’ This is a time to get what you really want, the moon is most powerful at this state. This is a time to accomplish and to get things done! The energy of the full moon lasts 3 days before the full moon and three days after. There are usually 12-13 full moons in a year. This is also an Esbat. Many witches like to perform a magickal working during this time. Whether it may be a ritual or spell, take this time to honor your connection with the goddess.
The Waning Moon : Taking Away As the moon is getting smaller, it is a good time to banish things too. Get rid of things you don’t need, banish negative energies, get rid of extra weight or negative influences, get rid of negative people who bring you down, banish stress, tension, anxiety, etc.
The Dark Moon : Take A Break This is when the moon is all dark and not visible in the sky. Many witches believe that magick should not be done during this period, which lasts for about three days. These three days is the period when the goddess is in the underworld and her energy is lowest at this point. Some witches like to do negative workings during this time because they call on her dark powers, but I personally just agree with those witches who think its time to take a break!
---
Hope it helps!
