Enchanting, enchanting items Options

I am new to sorcory in its entirety almost, I am basically starting into it with the expressed purpose of being able to enchant items for myself and others to either increase their luck or help them keep themselves together in tough times (personal strength I guess you could say) I was just wondering if anyone had any advice for anyone in my position that might help them get off on the right foot, aside from read around and try and get a feel for it, mainly due to two reasons, one that is probably how they found this (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yes2.gif) , and two it seems to be common sense that in order to learn you must first seek knowledge. I have looked at the post in this sorcery forum Zen And The Art Of Sorcery. and find it has decent relevence to this however I am still considering that there are always other means to this end. help is appreciated, This doesn't qualify as spell begging does it? cause I am trying to avoid that if it is (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blush2.gif)

Thank you, I was beggining to wonder if anyone in this forum would have any ability to assist my curiosities, I am glad that there are.
I am beggining with the expressed interest in enchanting but I did not mean to implicate that I was excluding the other aspects of sorcery because I do understand that knowing many different aspects of a craft or ability is extremely important and can increase the potency of the main skill one is attempting to attain. I did take much interest in your initial post however i didn't feel this was a topic ment to add to what was there already mainly due to its one sidedness. You did allude to filling the body with the essence of an elemental nature, would it possibly help if you were exposed to that sort of element as this is done, example being, sitting surrounded by candles representing fire (or a campfire), wading in a lake or river, or even as simple as a shower, being outdoors on solid rock or with your bare feet dug into sand. Just curious but do you think this would have any effect on the mentality or potency of the user?
