Any advice?

[Mist]

I have been fascinated with magic and the occult as long as I can remember and think this might be the time for me to explore it more.
I just don't know where to start.
All suggestions are welcome!

What triggered your interest (if you know)?

First, it helps to consider your definition of magic (people don't always see it the same way).

Second, create an ethical framework for yourself. When WON'T you use magic (for example, I refuse to help people with love spells because they are on the border of manipulative if done a certain way).

You've just walked under a big umbrella, meaning there is a lot for you to think about in terms of direction. Do you have any specific interests? For example

- herbal arts
- brews & potions
- spellcraft
- ritual
- specific cultural focus

etc.
