Please add your personal experiences with witchcraft, finding out, etc. I share mine too:

Of course when I had a fascination with crows. I would always wave hi, I felt protected and good energy around them. Then when I found out about witchcraft I replayed those memories and realized all the energy, after a bit when I was younger I had stopped waving to nature but now I do everyday as part of my practice: nature holds the key to helping your spells and you need to appreciate it!!
