These things can be cheap and/or you probably already have them somewhere. If you don't have them then you can go to pretty much any store and get them.  Herbs Candles Bowls of water Pen & Paper Fabric Jars Salt Dirt/Sticks/Flowers/Rocks/Crystals/Gems Journals/Sketchbooks Color Magic Mirrors Printing things (tarot cards or sigils) Yarn/String/Cord Paint Clay You can get these things at all kinds of stores or you might already have them (or you can just make them). Just look around for them. Pretty much anything can be used for witchcraft. 

 I don't know why i even have to explain this, it should be obvious.  I want to start with saying putting a love spell on yourself isn't the same as putting a love spell on other people.  Putting a love spell on yourself to attract love or using a love spell on yourself to help you love yourself more isn't bad, attracting love isn't the same a putting spells on others. Putting love spells on others is you not caring about their consent or their feelings. You can't just force people to love you, it's not real love. If you care about their consent or their feelings then don't force them to like you. If you want real love you have to look for it, not force it.  You wouldn't want other people trying to force you to do something you wouldn't want to do right? So you shouldn't do it to other people. Consent is important, people's feelings are important, so don't act like they aren't. 

 With everything, there are things you should know and do before doing said thing, witchcraft is no different.  Witchcraft isn't a toy or a game, witchcraft can do harm and damage as well as heal and good. So you should be careful with what you do with it. Witchcraft isn't evil, many people (especially christians) will say that witchcraft is evil. In reality, witchcraft is a tool. Tools can't be good or bad, they are just to help you do something, the person who uses them does good or evil with them. Like a hammer isn't evil. most people use a hammer to tin nails but some people have uses hammers to harm people and hit them with it, that doesn't make hammers evil, just the people are evil.  Real magic isn't like in the media, you may have seen or read The Craft, Snow White, Merlin, Hocus Pocus, Owl House, Enchanted, Practical Magic, Once Upon A Time, Charmed, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, The Love Witch, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Little Mermaid, Every Witch W...

 So you want to be a witch? You have come to the right place... So what is a witch? A witch is someone who does witchcraft. Anything else is just up to person to person. Any religion or lack of religion is just up to you, you don't have to be in any specific religion to be a witch you can have no religion too. There are atheist witches.  What is witchcraft? Witchcraft is a tool, a tool witches use to help them. What is magic? Magic is energy. Everything has energy. You can use anything for magic. So all you really need to do to be a witch is do magic. 

 I see this question a lot. People think spotting a witch is easy or obvious. But it's not really easy. Witches look and act like everyone else. Witches are just normal people, the only difference is that witches do witchcraft. So you can't really look at someone and just say "that's a witch" because that isn't how it works. Just like you can just look at someone and say "that's a gamer". Sure they could wear something that has a witch symbol or a shirt with a video game on it but that doesn't mean they play that game or know what the symbol is.  There are a few things that is common among witches, but again not all witches do this or look like this, and not everyone who looks like this or does these things are witches... Witches are people who do magic, you can't be a witch without doing magic, this is the only thing you need to do to be a witch. So if you know they do witchcraft then you know they are a witch. Other than that there isn...

 So we should go with how you should look first: Real witches look like everyone else, so you don't really need to do anything crazy. But you could do a few things to maybe give off the witchy vibe.  1. Wear colors that are more witchy, black, purple, green, brown, yellow, red, etc. Wear long flowing clothes. If you want to look like a real witch don't wear it like a costume, avoid Halloween costume stores.  2. Wear makeup with similar colors (optional) 3. Wear witchy jewelry, crystals, gems, pentacle, pendulums, etc.  4. Wear things with stars, moons, suns, tarot cards, crystals, gems, pentacles, pendulums,  5. Decorate your room/house with similar things too.  6. Dye your hair black or white (optional) 7. Get or make a spell book, you can put all of your spells in here and keep them in a safe spot. 8. Get a wand, not all witches have wands but you can make one or buy one (optional) 9. Do magic, you can't be a witch without doing magic 10. Have long p...

 Lots of people misunderstand what tarot cards are, i want to help make people not be so ignorant about this topic. Some like to claim they are evil, some like to claim they do this or that, and some claim they are for this or that. But what are they really for? What do they really mean? Are they evil? How can a deck of cards be evil? (Spoiler: they aren't evil) The tarot is a pack of playing cards, used from at least the mid-15th century in various parts of Europe to play card games such as Tarocchini. Tarocchini are point trick-taking tarot card games popular in Bologna, capital city of the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy and has been confined mostly to this area. The original purpose of tarot cards was to play games. A very cursory explanation of rules for a tarot-like deck is given in a manuscript by Martiano da Tortona before 1425. Vague descriptions of game play or game terminology follow for the next two centuries until the earliest known complete description of rules for a F...

  To help stop misinformation I wanted to add more to this topic. Too many people don't know what tarot cards are and don't know were they came from or how it started... Playing cards first entered Europe in the late 14th century, but the origin is unknown. The first records date to 1367 in Berne and they appear to have spread very rapidly across the whole of Europe, as may be seen from the records, mainly of card games being banned. Little is known about the appearance and number of these cards; the only significant information being provided by a text by John of Rheinfelden in 1377 from Freiburg im Breisgau, who, in addition to other versions describes the basic pack as containing the still-current 4 suits of 13 cards, the courts usually being the King, Ober and Unter ("marshals"), although Dames and Queens were already known by then. One early pattern of playing cards that evolved was one with the suits of Batons or Clubs, Coins, Swords, and Cups. These suits are s...
