When people hear the word witch, most people automatically co-relate it to the Dark Arts. Unfortunately that is the bias created due to years of BS being fed about what exactly being a witch entails.
This post is going to focus on the different types of witches that exist.
Magick is just magick it is the intention of the person doing that magick that make it good or bad.
Most witches identify as eclectic, which means that they practice at least a few different kinds of magic.
1) Green Witch – Green witches are also known as garden or forest witches, are very connected to the earth & draw their magic from the natural world. They incorporate earthly elements like herbs, plants, into their practice & enjoy study them. They also work with the Fae.
2) Hedge Witch – “Hedge” means boundary between this world & spirit realm; hedge witches are known for “flying” into spiritual world when they practice magic. They perform small, daily domestic actions that make life easier for both them & others. They often focus quite a bit on the hearth, home & tend to partner with animals.
3) Kitchen Witch – They mainly practice magic in the kitchen. They use herbs, cooking, potions, & other types of recipes to concoct spells. Their power stems from the actual process of cooking or baking and the emotions you put into it.
4) Faery Witch – Also known as a Fae witch connect with faeries at the most basic level. Faery witches love nature spirits, woodland creatures, trees, & the Fae. They invite all of these elements into their practice.
5) Fire Witch – Draw power from fire. They love the element, or may have more success with fire spells such as candle spells, potions over an open flame, etc. As a fire witch, they are hot & fiery in nature. They like quick results which is exactly what fire spells bring them.
6) Divination Witch – They focus, on divination practices like Tarot, astrology, scrying, pendulum, meditation, etc. Many divination witches are eclectic as well, they enjoy incorporating divination practices into the craft.
7) Sun Witch – They derive power from the sun. Spells that deal with new beginnings will be better to cast at sunrise, while banishing spells will have more power during sunset.
8) Storm Witch – They draw energy from crazy weather. They might have a preference for a specific type of storm or enjoy chaotic weather energy in general, but they will definitely feel more powerful & excited when the weather is tumultuous.
9) Lunar Witch – The moon represents emotions, water, & the subconscious, as well as powerful, deep magic. A moon witch, is very in-tune with lunar cycles & draws power from the moon.
10) Swamp Witch – The swamp witch uses the healing elements of nature around them (especially mud) and develops their own strong magic through the intense emotions they feel surrounding society and expectations.
11) Elemental Witch – The hallmark of an element witch is incorporating the 4 elements (earth, air, fire, and water) into their practice. Elemental witches use the elements when casting spells; they may only use 1 element at a time or all 4.
12) Sea Witch – A sea witch has a strong connection to water and to the ocean. Sea witches connect with ocean spirits & have an almost psychic connection with the sea. They may use sand, shells, driftwood, or even sea water to perform magic.
13) Crystal Witch – They are deeply connected to the vibration & energetic power of crystals, gems, & stones.
14) Ancestral Witch – To be a hereditary or ancestral witch, one needs to have ancestors who were witches. Hereditary witches harness power from the spirits of their ancestors to perform magic.
15) Cosmic Witch – A cosmic witch is all about the sky. They look to astrology, astronomy, & the stars & moon. They incorporate energy from the stars in their practice & may especially like to study past life astrology. Some cosmic witches are starseeds and integrate practices from their home planet into the craft. They might connect with deities associated with the stars or formulate spells based on planets, the alignment of the stars, etc.
16) Chaos Witch – They draw power from chaos. They perform emotional, tumultuous magic. Their spells are fueled by energy that clashes. Chaos witches often perform magic with intense music, during storms, or even when they’re feeling a bit drained emotionally.
17) Ceremonial Witch – These witches are focused on the ritual of the craft and draw power from performing a ceremony that is meaningful. A ceremonial witch is part of a coven & will treat their ceremonial magic more as a religion. When you practice ceremonial magic (also known as traditional wicca), there isn’t always a clear distinction between “good spells” & “black magic” so your morals & knowledge will depend on the types of traditional ceremonies you follow.
18) Dianic Witch – They focus on the feminine. They usually worship the Roman goddess Diana, but can sometimes focus on all goddesses as the divine feminine is the most important aspect of Dianic witchcraft. Dianic witches will practice a lot of meditation and visualization in addition to their magic. The focus of the practice is to heal inner wounds that these witches have received from the patriarchy.
19) Traditional Witch – They base their practice in very old magic, often known as the “Old Religion”. These witches do a lot of research & take a historical approach to their magical practice.
Fungi are misfit organisms. Although they are much closer genetically to animals than plants, they were considered to be plants for centuries. Their cell structure is unique, as is their manner of living. They belong to a world entirely of their own.
The fungus that is only poisonous if you are also drinking Have you ever eaten the cap mushroom? If you’re chewing a little now, that’s fine. Just do not drink for a while. This fungus does not harm sober people, but it lowers the wrath of God to drinkers. The mushrooms are quite nice that grow well in places occupied by humans. They are taken to lawns, pastures and abandoned land, where the soil is disturbed regularly. They come out of the ground like oblong and white bells that then spread out to look like umbrellas. The gills at the bottom become a striking black, slowly graying the upper half of the fungus. The hats look tasty, and many people should be tempted to eat a bite. For the most part, one bite is fine. Although inky tapas are not food mushrooms, and should not be made at a large meal or long-term meal, usually a single mushroom will not do you any harm. Except that the inky are also called drunken bane. They take a rather puritanical view of the drink. People who drink anywhere from three hours to five days after eating an ink cap will feel that their face starts to turn red, their limbs tingling, and their heart starts to run. Then come nausea, vomiting, and in severe cases, heart problems. The more alcohol the unfortunate sinner drinks, the more they suffer. If things go bad, they will have a heart attack. A person has died from eating an ink cap and then drinking. The inky caps sow their vengeance initiating an immediate and severe hangover. Chemical acetaldehyde is generally associated with hangovers, and experts believe it causes the sweating, nausea and vomiting that so many people regret. Finally, however, enzymes in the body break acetaldehyde and people recover. However, inky caps contain coprine, a chemical that stops the enzyme, which results in an immediate accumulation of acetaldehyde, and there is no end to hangover. It can take days to work coprine out of a person’s system. Coprine was studied extensively by scientists who wanted to use it to make alcoholics reluctant to drink. But their methods, and their long-term effects, proved too severe. The inky do not have such scruples, so be careful with these mushrooms if you want to have a drink. WRITTEN BY ESTHER INGLIS-Arkel
The old threads are unraveling, Get your needles ready. We are stitching a new quilt of Humanity.
Bring your old t-shirts, worn out jeans, scarves, antique gowns, aprons, old pockets of plenty who have held Earth’s treasures, stones, feathers, leaves, love notes on paper.
Each stitch A mindful meditation. Each piece of material A story. The more colour the better, so call in the Tribes.
Threads of browns, whites, reds, oranges Women from all nations start stitching. Let’s recycle the hate, the abuse, the fear, the judgment. Turn it over, wash it clean, ring it out to dry.
It’s a revolution of recycled wears. Threads of greens, blues, purples Colourful threads of peace, kindness, respect, compassion are being stitched from one continent to the next over forests, oceans, mountains.
The work is hard Your fingers may bleed. But each cloth stitched together Brings together a community. A world, our future world Under one colourful quilt. The new quilt of humanity.”
This is a stage of pre-creation, a state of infinite possibility. Follow your instincts freely.
Try not to figure out what lies ahead, but enter the “darkness” with courage. Trust in the higher powers to guide you through this part of the journey.
Evil is Live spelled backwards … and of course, it is hidden behind the Veil.
Violators, master manipulators, those who oppress and dominate the population … this world has been their oyster.
The “Living Bread” to me, is the connection, relationship, and love. It’s not the literal “eating” of the flesh, it is “becoming” the flesh by becoming “Amadeus”.
God’s love. Amadeus is a masculine name of Latin origin meaning “loved by God” or “love of God.” It is derived from the Latin words amare “to love” and Deus meaning “God.”
Amadeus, being a lover of God, and loved by God, is gender neutral.
In life I have learned not to take things too seriously. The slanderous rumors, the defamation of character, the theft and willingness to keep anything of value from me, life was one of scarcity, trial and tribulation. Friendless, partnerless … and the world did it’s best to break me. You can probably relate.
In my experience, i didn’t take anything too seriously, for to do so would be to relinquish the open mindedness required for solution creation. Or so it felt.
These days folks are going to need to learn to take it a little more seriously. Recognition is afoot. Your essence and effort is noted, and a reward, or new role and compensation may soon arrive.
Teaching the youth, molding minds … it begins with one’s own personal mental and emotional stability. If there isn’t stability, chaos will be the result.
You’re going to need to be an steady now. You’re coming into leadership. The time of childish frivolity may be over, unless it’s recess time. 😉
