MC’s Guidebook: Witches

sleepywitchmc:

There are shockingly a lot of different witches out there. Many of them you can find on here! So I compiled a list of witches and what they do. Please remember there are many different witches and I could have forgotten some things. Let’s start with the basics!

The Basics:

What Makes a Witch a Witch?

A witch is anyone who practices magic. You can be male, female, trans, non-binary whatever. It doesn’t make you less of a witch(some may say otherwise don’t listen to them).

Do I have to follow a Religion to be a Witch?

Absolutely not but it doesn’t mean you can’t have one. There are some common religions that witches to follow such as Wicca and Paganism, but you do not inherently have to have a religion to be a witch. You do not have to give up your current religion to be a witch(another common misconception).

Do I have to be only one kind of witch?

Nope! You can have a main focus(mine is herbs and divination) but you can also delve into many other paths(on the side i enjoy astrology, spell jars, sigils, etc).

How do I choose?

Honestly, just think of all the things you enjoy and most likely you can turn that into a type of magic fitted just for you.

Are there any rules?

No not really. I prefer telling people this: if you don’t want someone doing it to you don’t do it to someone else. Spells do have pros and cons. Please be aware of that.

Now, lets go into a quick list of witches. I say quick but this may end up long.
