Good grounding techniques?

I've got a few meditation tactics to try, but I would love to hear from witches about grounding techniques. I haven't seen it in the books I've read. Also, what other basics should I practice before anything else? I want to have a good foundation before I do anything beyond that :)

Advice on protection spells?

Hi there, I made a previous post which got some traction and I can safely say I've ready 2 books and am staring on my third with another on the way. I was still questioning where to physically start. I did my first round of meditation today and soon I want to make moon water and try a protection spell.

HOWEVER, I move out in 5 days into my dorm again, which means I will no longer be able to use flame. (I haven't cast a candle spell yet, but if I can try before move in I will) I was looking into maybe casting a water protection spell with rosemary and quartz? But I don't have any validity on whether this would work or not. Could some experienced witches let me know of any water protection spells they've cast? Or if that's even possible? I have a tiny altar set up as well with some candles (which I know I will not be able to use in my dorm sigh).

Also I will be doing more meditation and grounding before casting my first spell- this is just in advance so I know a little more of what to expect. :)

Edit: I have also heard of spell oils, could they be used in water as well?

Just starting out witchcraft! Help please!

Hello everyone, I've decided after learning you can be a witch and an athiest that I would start learning witchcraft to feel more connected with myself and the sea. I've been drawn to it my entire life and want to learn how to meditate and connect to it through witchcraft.

I am a huge advocate on learning through book reading and am looking for beginner witchcraft books or even beginner sea witchcraft books. Obviously I'm an athiest so I would prefer if they didn't contain deities, but if they do it's not a problem. Please let me know what books I should read!

I have only gotten recommended Power of the Witch by Lori Cabot. Is this a good read for a beginner?

How to start as a baby (sea) witch??

Hi, I have a couple questions regarding the witch community. I've always been interested, but felt as an athiest that it wasn't for me. However I recently learned that you CAN be a witch and be athiestic- so here I am.

I've always been fascinated by witchcraft, even when I was a christian, and was wondering how to start out or what type of witch I would even be? I know that if I CAN choose (Idk if I can or not, I really know NOTHING), I would be a water or a sea witch. I've always been drawn to the ocean and lakes, pretty much any body of water. If I could, I would live in the sea. I feel like doing certain practices or rituals would make me feel closer to the water if that makes sense.

I would really like some tips from witches who have been involved to help me out! I've heard that witchcraft doesn't follow rules like a religion, so it could be up for interpretation, but I need some guidance. Thank you so much in advance to anyone who comments or messages me!

Should I switch devices for my 4.0 EX license? Is it safe??

https://preview.redd.it/3ngc8oip8r2h1.png?width=415&format=png&auto=webp&s=ee60304e54be0d0c905180e806072d50fa93abbc

So, recently I bought the one device, one time EXPENSIVE EX 4.0 license for my laptop for the spring semester. I used it and planned to switch devices to my PC this summer, but when I planned to switch, it told me the following in the attached picture. This held me up because suddenly I'm not sure if I should deactivate my laptop's license. If I do that, will I be able to switch back in August?

I quite literally cannot afford the 200-ish dollars to rebuy it in the fall if I cannot switch back to my laptop. I also am in college for another year or so, so I'll be switching again in the summer, fall, and winter. It's not like I'll be switching everyday, mainly twice or thrice a year.

If I 'deactivate' my laptop's license, will I be able to switch back in August? Will it suspend my license and force me to rebuy it?

Please help! I have commissions and work to do on CSP and need to make a decision as to switch or not within the next day or so.
