1) 25
2) 14 Years (yeah, i’ve been a witch for longer than I wasn’t)
3) when I first started learning I learned from more experienced witches and pagans. I also read several books; most of which were published by the Lewellen publishing company (they tend to do really thorough research as to what is accurate and what is not). As I began to progress though I started learning from the spirits and entities around me more than books (there’s only so much you can learn from the pages of a book)
4) I work with faeries. (notice I said I work with them, they don’t work for me nor I for them)

I am college age. Saying any more than that on the Internet is not safe.

I have been interested in magic, and studied it to an extent, since sixth grade.

I have learned what I know primarily from the Internet.

I can’t think of any one thing that really got me interested in it… Perhaps it was the power of storms…

Here are some websites that might help you. I’m not sure you really know what magic is.

not a witch persee, but a Celtic Pagan.

1-your age

2-how long have you studied it,

11 years seriously. 18 if you count childhood dabbling

3-what are training tools-books, online, and so forth

some books about the history of the celts. and the gods that they worshiped. and a lot of time spent with other pagans to learn their practices and beliefs.

4-what got you interested in studying.

always believed in some higher power. never liked the christian religion. (Islam and jewish beliefs fell into that because they are all started by Aberham. ) decided to study all religions untill i found one that worked for me.

1. 23
2. For 14 years
3. I use books mostly, some online resources, depending on what I need to know. Most online resources are just elaborations or repetition of what you find in books,
4. My parents celebrated no denomination. At a young age I was fascinated by magic like most children are. I found a book of wicca that gave focus to that. I found as I grew that my beliefs matured and wicca has given me a spiritual focal point.

Hi…..I hope that my information will help you with your project. If you would like more information, please feel free to e-mail me.

1. I’m 46 years old.

2. I’ve practiced Wicca for 20+ Years. Also Wiccan continually study, so we are never truly "finished with our studies.

3. There are several wonderful books out which will help you, should you decide that you would like to check them out. Please go to Borders Books and look in the "New Age" section. There are simply too many to mention here on Yahoo Answers.

4. I’ve always been interested in Witchcraft ever since I was a very young child. My earliest memory of proclaming myself a Witch was when I was in 3rd grade. I told this to a little boy who sat near me and using my mind’s eye (seeing it in my mind) – not knowing what I was doing, which I thought was just playing, I described something to him that actually happened a few minutes later between two teachers. He was stunned, awed, and afraid of me all at once. There was no way that I could have ever predicted what would happen, but it did and the really amazing part of it was that it was something so out of the ordinary that there was no way that it was random chance. Ever since that incidient, I was more and more interested in Witchcraft. By the time I was a teenager my entire room was dominated by Witches and Witchy things.

I know that you said simple answers, but I figured that it would give you a bit more background to go by.

Have a lovely rest of the evening. Bright Blessings.

1) 48
2) Most of my life, most intensely the last fifteen years
3) Eclectic, self-taught — a good deal of reading ethnographic and historic documents, then feminist spirituality by way of Starhawk and Diane Stein; Cat Yronwode and Phil Hine for a better understanding of magic and how it works. Euell Gibbons and Scott Cunningham for different ways of seeing plants around us.
4) I’ve been interested since I was a kid. Raised in a Baptist home, I was raised to have a hungry mind that never understood the difference between miracles and magic, so I read what I could and practiced when I was unobserved.

Hope this was simple enough. Peace
