Friendly Reminder

You do not have to believe in a diety to practice witchcraft.

As someone who has been an agnostic their whole life, when i first got into the craft i saw that a large majority of posts were about setting up altars. I thought that to practice the craft you had to have a diety. I tried to force myself into finding one that i could believe in. That obviously didn't work, so for the longest time i felt like i was a fake for not having one.

Witchcraft is all about belief and intent. As long as you believe in yourself, and your own power, it still works just the same.

I am not bashing on people who do have patron dieties, i just wanted to make this post because i really wish someone had told me that i didn't have to believe/pray to a diety to be a witch.

Thanks to an amazing group of people who are also participating in a social media visibility challenge as part of our involvement in the WEALTH program created by @carolynelliott_ my Instagram has a lot of new followers. So, a refresher introduction is in order. My name is Zayda Fleming. I am an artist and an aesthetically motivated person. I primarily work with ink and watercolors but I am planning on experimenting with acrylic paint in the near future. I was raised in a conservative Christian setting but left that path about 5 years ago. I am a feminist. I believe Black Lives Matter. I believe that the history we are taught in this country is heavily skewed by white supremacy, white fragility, and white exceptionalism in the curriculum. I am also a bookworm with a particular obsession with Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels, and an anime fan. I have 3 tattoos and I definitely want more. As some of you may have read in previous post descriptions, I have anxiety, mild depression, a wonderful cat, a supportive partner, and a desire to embody my fullest self. If you want to support my journey, my Etsy store and Patreon are accessible via the linktree in my bio, or DM me if you are interested in commissioning an artwork. Oh and just in case you don’t read the hashtags, I’m a witch.

Hey Witches! We've got DAYS left until our next FREE brew! Sunday May 19, 2024 12 PM PST

Critical Thinking WItch Collective is happy to host a virtual community event on Pop-Culture and Witchcraft!

From Discworld to Billy Shakes, from DnD to Sabrina, and from grandmothers your reindeer couldn’t run over to witchlings making “soup” in muddy backyards – witches are everywhere. And so is pop-culture!  Join your global community of critical thinking witches and visit a topic so pervasive, it even sits on some of our heads: that fascinating intersection of popular culture and witchcraft. We’ll be talking about games, TV shows, pop-culture on our own altars, bedtimes stories, costumes, and so much more.

We'll be discussing different Pop-Culture witches and how they've inspired our craft. Bring your thoughts on pop, and we’ll bring ours!

We’re excited to share that we’ll be joined by Lozzie Stardust, a history-loving witch (to whom “Billy Shakes” should be credited) and occasional contributor to the Hex Positive podcast, as we page through popular culture and make it out own.

Register for this FREE virtual event at :

Critical Thinking Witch Collective, you may already be a member!
