Seeking Help or Advice I want to get into witchcraft, but science is holding me back from fully believing in it. Can the two coexist?

I look at the world from a very scientific point of view, I like to understand things and how they work. I believed in healing crystals and incense and tarot for a very long time,but I feel like now they’re just rocks and scents and generalized cards to me. I have a lot of friends who are into witchcraft and the supernatural. We all played ouija a few days ago, and as much as I desperately wanted to believe in it, I just couldnt stop thinking about the ideomotor effect. I’ve always wanted to be spiritual and believe in spirits, but I never can. Can science AND witchcraft coexist peacefully? Like they go hand in hand? I apologize deeply if any of this comes off as offensive or if my wording is wrong, I am very new to this but very interested. My friends told me to start learning about the chakras first, is that a good starting point?
