WITCHCRAFT

I am a solitary eclectic witch, which means I perform magick/spells in private and I don't follow strict traditions. I combine a bunch of techniques I've learnt to make my own unique practices.

The way I practice witchcraft is always evolving and changing, but I like to focus on ways to make the world an overall better place, and promote healing in myself and others. I like to express my beliefs by wearing pentagram imagery, and using quotes such as "an it harm none, do as thou wilt" and "do no harm, take no shit".

What is magick?

I believe this link sums it up well, but in my own words, magick is the manipulation of and the ability to redirect natural energy.

I believe something as simple as saying "I love you" can be a spell, because it's redirecting your positive energy onto someone else.

All about the pentagram

This link has the complete history of the pentagram. I personally take on the interpretation of the 5 elements; fire, air, water, earth, and spirit. I like this symbol and interpretation because it reminds me that we're all one with nature. we humans are not above the Earth and its beauty, everything and everyone has a vital role in this world, and I believe it's important to keep this in mind when progressing through life.

Debunked misconceptions:

• Witches and witchcraft aren't just make-believe. You don't have to believe in it, but to us it is very real.
• We aren't the same as witches you see in pop culture, ugly old women with hooked noses, pointy hats, broomsticks etc. There are many types of witches. Here is a brief incomplete list to get your research started: link
• Witch is a gender neutral term, it doesn't just refer to women.
• Witchcraft is not inherently linked to satanism or the devil. Although some people can be witches and satanists, it's not a necessity. I personally do not believe in Satan, but I do believe in evil forces/energy.
• The pentagram is not a satanic symbol. the church of Satan uses a similar but different symbol for their beliefs.
