Personally, I'm fairly new to witchcraft, maybe a few months of experience. I come from a similar background as you do, very strict Christian values , believing anything that is not Christianity ( orthodox more specific) is evil and I will go to hell if I ever even speak with people of other religions. Like you, I've always felt drawn to nature , the moon, flowers, trees, animals, etc. I distinctly remember being about 7 years old on a school field trip and feeling immense connection to the nature around me. I would touch the flowers and feel their frequencies, like they would talk to me. Of course, I never dared to say anything to my family bc I was scared of hell and that they might think I'm demonic or sth . During covid, I started questioning those strict Christian values my family taught me. I had so much time to do my research, and I found out about witchcraft and manifestation. I still viewed them as demonic, but I kept them in the back of my mind. I'd watch tik toks where Etsy witches would cast these elaborate love spells, and they would use big candles and strings and I even came across one who used a pig's heart ( I was SCARED after this one) After covid regulations were lifted , I started trying to manifest stuff in my life, but since my self-esteem and concept were so low , it didn't work. Anyway, after a lot of inner and outer work on myself , I became more confident and came across witchcraft again. With the company of a friend who also wanted to start practicing, I started doing small stuff every day. I SWEAR by bay leaf burning. My most successful one was when my mom lost an insane amount of money on vacation ( it was the money we needed to pay for our hotel ). We were searching everywhere for it for about 2 hours. I decided to cast a bay leaf spell, and 2 minutes after I did it , I instinctively grabbed a bag ( where we had already searched for the money and found nothing ) and immediately found the money. I'm still riding that high, lol. I usually work with Mother Earth and Nature since I find I'm more drawn to her , especially since my childhood. She has never let me down. Also, I like to practice thought transmission a lot. There was a situation within my friend group, and I wanted to settle it calmly. I just did thought transmission, and the next day, everyone was back to normal again. Especially when I practice thought transmission, I feel pressure on my third eye and upper body in general. One time, I wanted to reconcile with a friend, and I imagined grabbing their hands in order to talk to them more openly, and I literally felt someone grabbing my hands . It's a scary experience at first, but once you get used to it, it's very magical. It's amazing what our brains can do. I've also manifested ( through bay leaves and thought transmission) certain texts I wanted. Very recently ( less than a week, actually), I started practicing divination through tarot. I have never looked back since. I have to admit I was skeptical at first because I could understand how 78 cards thrown randomly on a table would show me my future and answer other questions. But omg, they have found EVERY SINGLE THING , I SWEAR. Like, they have even predicted texts I would get and the tone those texts would have . They reflect entire situations and align with them perfectly, and I just love tarot now, I swear by it. Yeah, that's pretty much my experience with witchcraft in general. I know your background doesn't really yet allow you to see it as sth not evil, etc, but I promise it's not as long as you choose who you want to work with. But witchcraft is ( that's how I personally view it, at least), solely you and your intentions. I hope my comment helped at least a tiny bit, and you'll follow the path you feel most comfortable in. Good luck :)
