Hello, I am just starting to get into Wicca and wanting to become an Eclectic Wiccan and was wondering where do I start? I have no idea where to start now.

I started by reading this blog "Wicca for the Rest of Us." I bought the four books recommended for beginners. Also, there is information under this subforum (Wicca) too; many have asked the same question as you did.

Blessed be,

eclectic wiccans can't really start anywhere. You gotta be already like halfway finished filling out your eharmony profile before you can even get that 2 stroke go ped to purr like a boss hoss. Some initiates also just study youtube videos of marty mcfly skateboarding to school to the tune of "power of love". It is highly recommended that you sing along or the spheres won't be able to vibrate at your specific frickin gangsta frequencies.

Hello October Sky

I recommend; A Practical Guide to Witchcraft and Magick Spells by Cassandra Eason

My advice, OctoberSky, is to ignore books -they are merely opinions of other people. Wicca and the deeper levels are all accented to Nature and that it where you begin. Immerse yourself in Nature until you become part of it. Find somewhere that strikes a chord with you and become part of it yourself. Think of this as Wicca 101. This phase can last a long time [ decades in my case ] but it is very satisfying. Many of us begin in Wicca but then take off for deeper levels, some for Traditional Witchcraft, some for the older ways like mine - Cunning Craft - the deepest immersion possible.
Think of it as a journey with no ending, it lasts a lifetime.

Wicca and the rest are not based on knowledge but are experiential, emotional, empathetic.

Eclectic Wicca takes bits and pieces from all the different traditions of Wicca. So, to be able to do that you need to study, research and understand the many diverse strands and paths of Wicca. Here are a few:- Gardnerian Wicca, Alexandrian Wicca, Faery Wicca, Dianic, Georgian, Sacred Wheel, Seax and Circle Wicca etc. And then there's the practice of Witchcraft.

To study each and every one will take a long time but if you want to pick and choose what you like from each one and then incorporate those bits and pieces into a practice that you can work successfully then that's what you're going to have to do. Some people just take parts of one or two traditions and make do with that.
