The one thing I can say as I was led on my spiritual journey is that when I started to find out about Wicca or should I say when I was introduced to Wicca by an ex-girlfriend in middle school I expected a lot of things that you would see in a movie like Harry Potter but I soon got to see that it's more like the tv show charmed for those of you that don't know charmed is a show about three sisters whom powers become unlock when there mom dies its an interesting show but what I can say now as I look back on it I love their authenticity
Of the matter it shows when they are doing spells and making a potion now I don't know if the spells they have are authentic but the way it shows the work that is put in place when saying a spell or doing a ritual group or solitary the actions are still true the way that their emotions are put into play during the workings is exactly how it should be but let's be honest this forum title says developmental stages to energy manipulation so why to mention charmed well it's simple it's because I wanted a clear picture on the aim of many people starting on the path of the craft especially of the wise one must know of if you are going to aim for anything in life any goal then the aim must be accurate and many scenes show energy balls being thrown which is an accurate depiction of what one is usually trying to go for focusing the energy to do ones will manifest the desired goal at hand.
So if you've read the post on practical energy development for beginners then this will be your go-to for fellowship and getting feedback on what they're doing and what is there accomplishments and failures are for the work being done.
All start from the beginning and all finish at the end Practice makes for experience on this path which is the result.
