Witches & Witchcraft: Types & Definitions

There is an abundance of types of witches, some being more common than others, for example, death witch or hedge witch. I have provided the different types of witches with a brief description/definition of what they study, believe and tools most commonly used for each.

The types of witchcraft is entirely up to the individual which they prefer to do. One person may only follow on type of magick whereas another may follow several. Listed are a handful of the many kinds, but I'm listing the most common/known types of magick/witchcraft that people fall into.

I have grouped some witches together as they fit together under the same or similar definitions.

Types of Witches

Religious witches;

Christian, Satanic (Theistic), Laveyan Satanic, Hellenic, Celtic and Wiccan, etc. are witches that follow a primary belief system and incorporate their religion into the craft.

Non-Religious witches;

Secular - doesn't work with [a] deity(ies).

Science - (also a craft type), uses metaphysical and scientific fads and theories mixed together.

Other types of witches;

Solitary - works alone and is not part of a coven. Won't typically work with other witches for spell work or any part of their practice.

Eclectic - a practice that includes multiple practises from different areas. A mixture of all practices, may practise one more than another, or all equally.

Hereditary/Generational - a witch who is born into a family whom practice the craft. The term 'Blood witch' is often a hot topic of controversy as to whether it makes one a more powerful witch.

Traditional - a type that is based on honouring the traditional ways of magick, which also ties in nicely with generational/hereditary witches.

Chaotic/Chaos - a witch who utilizes new, non-traditional and unorthodox methods. It's still relatively new and highly individualistic practice while still drawing from common forms of magick.

Types of Witchcraft/Magick

Green Witch; A witch who uses natural magick, such as creating blends of different plants, or primarily using herbs and/or crystals spells in their craft. Tools mostly consist of herbs, crystals, stones, flowers, soil or other greenery.

Hedge Witch; Also know as an astral witch, this type of magick is orientated around spiritual work such as astral projection, lucid dreaming, spirit work, healing and out-of-body magick. Tools mostly consist tarot cards, runes, pendulum, stones, crystal ball, mirrors & candles.

Dream Witch; Mindful and internal magickal practice mainly based from interpreting dreams and/or engaging in lucid dreaming. Practises used to 'de-code' symbols and messages in the dream world can be used similarly to how one would use divination techniques. Tools mostly consist of dream catchers, candles, books of glossaries of symbols.

Sea/Ocean; Derived from materials and abstract ideas involving ocean and the oceanic world. Sea or ocean magick can be worked with by using things found on or relating to a beach/lagoon. A sea witch might draw their energy from such tools. Tools commonly consist of driftwood, pebbles/stones, seashells, ocean water, bones, seaweed, candles.

Storm/Weather; magick used through combining one's energy with the weather; most commonly rain. Weather witches will collect different ingredients provided by the weather, absorb energy from storms, manipulate winnds, or perhaps predict the weather. Tools most commonly consist of rain/snow water, symbols/weather maps, crystals.

Cottage/Hearth; Magick that is weaved and worked or embedded into mundane tasks around the house or for loved ones. Cottage magick is usually worked into cleaning, hobbies or cooking. Tools commonly consist of essential oils, incense, bells, flowers, cleaning utensils, spices and herbs.

Garden/Flora; Mostly (if not all) focused on herbal and botanical measures. Many garden witches have their own garden and plant flowers and herbs to draw in energy for their home and to include in rituals and spells. Tools commonly consist of flowers, soil, seeds, greenery, twigs/tree branches, leaves.

Elemental; Using all 4 (or 5) elements in an honouring or acknowledging form. A witch can choose to work with all, or singular elements. One may have a dedicated area on their alters to a particular elements. Tools consist of anything related to said element.

01. Green witch

The Green Witch embraces nature by drawing on the energies from the earth and of untamed things. They commune with the land, with stones and gems and they reley on plants, flowers and herbs. They call to nature for guidance and respects every living being and they have a strong belief that humans must give back to world and protect it. They tend to be animal/environmental activists and they will go the extra mile to spread awareness.

The Green Witch makes their own ritual tools from found objects in nature and they make sure these are ethically sourced materials. They might also work with Animal Guides and Plant Spirits. The forest is the Green Witch's sacred temple and they often spend time hiking or visiting parks and gardens.

02. Crystal Witch

Crystal Witches focus their magick on healing and manifesting. Crystals are known for their healing energies due to their ability to raise one's own vibration. Crystals emit this constant vibration, that when met with a lower vibration, has the ability to raise, in turn, providing healing qualities through an energetic level, which can therefore fast track our own physical healing.

Crystal Witches may also be drawn to rocks and stones alike and generally appreciate the gift of nature. They may also be attracted to the study of geology and often work with chakras/practice chakra meditation.

Crystals for Witches ~ Eliza Mabelle

03. Kitchen Witch

The Kitchen Witch’s potion is a soup and they’re magical wand is a trusty wooden spoon. Cooking becomes a sacred art for the Kitchen Witch. A Kitchen Witch may not often dedicate a specific time and resources to ceremony, instead they work intuitively rather than ritually to find the magic in everyday life.

Kitchen Witches personalise their space with great intention and care. They instantly know when a space resonates with them or not. They often cook with whole, organic foods and they may also grow their own food. They also tend to enchant ingrediants before using them in a dish and they might sometimes make dishes to treat illnesses.

Books I recommend:

Potions, Elixirs & Brews ~ Anais Alexandre

The Wicca Cookbook ~ Jamie Wood & Tara Seefeldt

Wicca in the Kitchen ~ Scott Cunningham

`04. Sea Witch

A sea witch is a practitioner of witchcraft whose spiritual focus and magical practices are closely tied to the sea and its elements. They use the potent energy of the ocean as a force to drive spellcraft, cleanse the soul and renew the spirit. Sea Witches forge a deep bond with the sea and its inhabitants, working with its energy to manifest their intentions and achieve their goals.

Sea Witches are naturally sensitive and empathetic. The ocean is their sacred space and often times they might live near the ocean or are very drawn to it. They are also very drawn to stroms and enjoy the rain. They might study oceanic mythology and sea animals. They also often collect seashells, pebbles or other beach treasures and may use them in their craft.

Books I recommend:

Sea Witch's Companion ~ Levannah Morgan

Sea Magic ~ Sandra Kynes

Water Witchcraft ~ Annwyn Avalon

Mermaids ~ Skye Alexander

05. Divination Witch

The Divination Witch focuses primarily on divination practices such as tarot & oracle, pendulum, scrying, runes, tea leaf reading, meditation, and connecting to your inner guides/higher being. To them, it’s most important to incorporate these divination practices to their everyday life, or at least in ceremonial rituals.

A Divination Witch may draw power from the earthly elements, mediation, or with the help of seasonal changes that open portals and lower the veil between the physical and spiritual worlds. For those highly in-tuned with their intuition, have the ability to hear, see, or sense what others can’t, find themselves as an empath, and have the uncanny ability to predict the future.

Books I recommend:

The Book of Divination ~ Michael Johnstone

I Ching or Book of Changes ~ C.G. Jung & Richard Wilhelm

Tarot Card Meanings ~ Brigit Esselmont

Chakra Healing ~ Margarita Alcantara

06. Lunar/Cosmic Witch

A Lunar Witch has a fascination and connection with the skies, stars, moon and planets are unparalleled. With the fundamental belief that what happens above in the cosmos is a direct correlation to what happens on Earth, Cosmic Witches focus their study on astrological transits, moon phases, and intertwining that with their own natal birth charts. A strong belief is that as we are born, we are given a blueprint, a snapshot of the skies, that presents past, present and future forecasts of not only ourselves as an individual, but as a collective, sometimes generational viewpoint too.

They draw their power from the Moon and perform certain spells and rituals depending on the phase of the moon.

Jörmungandr Guide

I've been posting a bit about the World Serpent and figured I should make a whole guide on him. Jörmungandr was the second deity that I began working with. And as he is a being with little information, despite having a major role in Norse myth, I find it difficult to easily devote myself to him so here's some advice for others! (Note: Most of the offerings and associations are UPG. This is what I have learned from my experience with Jörmungandr.)

Name: Jörmungandr (Yor-Mun-Gan-Dur). "jǫrmun" means "vast" or "immense". "gandr" is a little uncertain in definition but generally understood to mean "magic", "wand", or "beast".

Other Names: "Miðgarðsormr" meaning "World Serpent" or "Midgard Serpent". In Skaldic poetry, he can be seen as being referred to with some variation of "Reistr Jarðar" meaning "earth-twist" or "earth-curl".

Family:

Father: Loki, The Trickster God

Mother: Angrboða, Mother of Monsters

Brother: Fenrir, He Who Dwells in the Marshes

Sister: Hel, Goddess of Death

Main Myths: Thor lifting Jörmungandr disguised as a cat, Thor's fishing trip, Ragnarök

Common Misconception: Jörmungandr is neither evil nor the cause of Ragnarök. Jörmungandr is a neutral being who is the personification of rebirth and change. He is a warning of Ragnarök beginning, not the reason. Ragnarök is a fated event, always meant to happen. It's important to note that Ragnarök is not the END but the end of the world that WE know. In the myths, there are deities, like both Odin and Thor's children, who survive and begin anew in the new world which will be repopulated. Rebirth is core to Jörmungandr and it should be noted in his myths, besides Ragnarök, it is Thor who finds Jörmungandr. Jörmungandr is described to be an ouroboros who remains wrapped around Midgard, minding his own.

Past this will be UPG(Unverified Personal Gnosis) unless marked with an *, in which case, these symbols are mentioned in his myths.

Personality: Personally, in my presence, Jörmungandr is a very intimidating being. Not because he is purposely trying to scare those who interact with him, but because he is very firm and can be distant in his words. Very forward in his wants for you, he provides advice and doesn't demand anything in turn. Jörmungandr is not one who holds your hand to guide you. He is very much a being who wants to see you take charge in life. He cares less for physical offerings and more devotional acts that are beneficial to yourself. He wants your pursuit of change, your ambitions to thrive, your pursuit of life in general. While other deities may provide a familial bond with those who work with them, Jörmungandr is very much a stoic mentor who is waiting for you to show your efforts.

What you may learn with Jörmungandr: How to set and enforce boundaries, how to be comfortable with change, how to accept change and move on, self-confidence, self-care, how to take charge of your life, learn shadow work, learn ocean magick, learn runes, healing past traumas

Setting up your altar is a personal manifestation of your soul and your personality in the way you practice your Magick. Each witch may have a unique set up that reflects who they are, what type of witchcraft they practice, and what is sentimental to them. As such, every altar may look a little different. There is no specific “correct way” to set up your altar. The right way to set up your altar is what feels right for you. Nevertheless, if you’re setting up your first altar and don’t know where to begin, here are a couple tips on how you can set yours up:

Where to set up your altar:

You can set up your altar anywhere! You can set it up in your home, in your garden, in your workspace (although the best place to set it up would be a more private space) but essentially an altar can exist anywhere you make the room for one. Typically the best place for an altar would be a bedroom, since its a space that most people are connected to spiritually and feel most at rest. My altar is set up in a corner of my walk in closet. It’s on the smaller side but its big enough for me to practice my craft. For those that need a much smaller space, you could set your altar up on a dresser, a nightstand, or even your windowsill. You could even get a portable altar that can be taken down and put up easily, which is good for those that live in smaller housing and those that like to travel.

Which direction should your altar face:

Again, this one is more of a personal decision. In Wiccan history, traditionally the altar is said to be facing North. However, you can face your altar in whatever direction feels right. Perhaps there is a beautiful view facing East that helps you meditate, or perhaps the area you want to set up your altar in only faces South. That is completely OK. As for me, I have my altar facing North-East, based on my preference on the elements I feel most connected to. I have two modes, I’m either completely grounded or completely in the clouds, so the elements I feel most connected to are earth and air; which is how I chose to position my altar. If you want to position your altar for the elements you feel most connected to, you would choose between North (earth), South (fire), East (air), and West (water). However you choose to position your altar should feel right to you.

What to put on your altar:

Your altar can consist of a few traditional things and personal things. You can have plants, crystals, candles, incense, and other traditional tools. You can also have personal items such as photographs, magazine clippings of something you want to manifest in your life, a homemade wreath or jewelry, or anything that feels personal to you such as a seashell or stone you picked yourself on your last hike or adventure. There’s a few things I personally believe every altar should have for spiritual protection purposes (this is my opinion only, not mandatory in any way) and those are:

an altar cloth

a candle

protective crystals (such as black tourmaline, smoky quartz, or amethyst)

incense or white sage

a fireproof bowl or cauldron

Additional things you may want to consider for your altar:

a wand (either premade or handmade) or athame

herbs or crystals for spells

a pendulum board or ouija board (if you wish to commune with spirits)

a chalice

something representing each of the elements

a compass

charms or small statues of things that you connect spiritually with

hand-picked items such as seashells, acorns, pine cones, leaves, feathers, or stones

Important things to remember about your altar:

I know I sound like a broken record saying this, but again, your altar should be personal. A reflection of YOU. If your altar feels right, then it’s right. If it feels like its missing something, add more to it. If it feels too cluttered or like too much, take stuff off. Your altar can change with you! You can switch things out as you feel your energy shift. Something that is very important to remember about your altar, is that it is a sacred place. Cleanse your altar if things start to not feel right after changing things up. Remember that things you find other places, may have picked up energy from that place/people, so be sure to cleanse any items you are bringing into your sacred space.

Blessed be

Hey witches! Are you drawn to the rhythm of the waves, the salty scent of the sea, and the boundless expanse of the ocean stretching to the horizon? If so, you might be attuned to the magic of Sea Magic, a mystical practice that connects with the elemental energies of water and the mysteries of the deep. Here are a few ways to embrace the magic of Sea Magic:

🌊 Connect with the Tide: Sea witches typically have a strong connection to the ocean, drawing inspiration, energy, and spiritual guidance from its vastness and power. Tune into the ebb and flow of the tides, allowing their rhythmic movement to guide your magical workings and rituals. Work with the energy of high tide for abundance and manifestation, and low tide for release and letting go.

🚰 Water Magic: Water is a central element in sea witchery, and practitioners often work with its properties for cleansing, healing, intuition, and emotional balance.

🌙 Moon Magic: Like many other forms of witchcraft, sea witchery often incorporates lunar cycles and phases, harnessing the energy of the moon for rituals and spellcasting.

🪸 Herbalism: Sea witches may work with herbs and plants associated with coastal regions or those that thrive in saline environments for magical purposes.

🐬 Work with Sea Creatures: Connect with the spirits of the sea and the creatures that dwell beneath the waves, such as dolphins, whales, and mermaids, honoring their wisdom and guidance in your magical practice.

🐚 Collect Seashells and Sea Treasures: Sea witches may collect shells, driftwood, seaweed, and other items washed ashore for use in spells, rituals, or as talismans. Gather seashells, sea glass, and other treasures washed ashore by the ocean, incorporating them into your spells, rituals, and altar decorations to infuse your magic with the energy of the sea.

🌊 Invoke Ocean Deities: Cultivate a relationship with ocean deities and spirits, such as Poseidon, Yemaya, or Neptune, by offering prayers, making offerings, and invoking their blessings and protection in your magical workings.

🧜🏼‍♀️ Seafaring Lore and Folk Traditions: Sea witches may draw upon maritime folklore, legends, and traditions for rituals, spells, and divination practices. Marine creatures like dolphins, whales, mermaids, and sea turtles may hold symbolic significance in sea witchcraft, representing various aspects of the ocean's energy and mythology.

🌬️ Navigation and Divination: Some sea witches incorporate navigation techniques, such as reading the stars or using instruments like compasses, into their practice. Divination methods related to the sea, such as scrying with water or shells, may also be used.

🦭 Respect for Nature: Central to sea witchery is a reverence for the natural world, particularly the ocean and its ecosystems, with an emphasis on environmental stewardship and sustainability. Sea witches often perform rituals for protection, purification, healing, and empowerment, drawing upon the strength and resilience of the ocean.

Whether you're a beachcomber, a sailor, or simply a lover of the sea, Sea Magic invites you to dive deep into the mysteries of the ocean and explore the hidden realms that lie beneath the waves. So let the rhythm of the sea guide you, and may your magic flow as freely as the currents of the ocean! 🌊🐚

Exploring the Elements: Incorporating Earth, Air, Fire, and Water into Your Practice

🌿💨🔥🌊✨

The natural world dances with a symphony of elemental energies—earth, air, fire, and water—each holding its unique power and wisdom. As we journey on the path of witchcraft, we embrace the enchanting art of incorporating these elements into our practice.

In this blog post, we'll embark on a mystical exploration of "Exploring the Elements: Incorporating Earth, Air, Fire, and Water into Your Practice," discovering how to tap into their energies to enhance our spells and deepen our connection with the universe.

🌟✨

🌿 Earth: The Foundation of Grounding 🌿

Ground yourself with the nurturing embrace of earth energy. Connect with nature, feel the soil beneath your feet, and honor the sacred plants that provide sustenance. Use crystals like hematite and obsidian to strengthen your grounding, allowing you to be firmly rooted while navigating the spiritual realms.

💨 Air: The Breath of Inspiration 💨

Air carries the whispers of inspiration and the currents of thought. Embrace the winds that carry ideas and connect you to higher realms. Work with incense during rituals to purify the air and create a sacred atmosphere. Use feathers as symbols of air to invoke clarity and swift communication.

🔥 Fire: The Transformative Flame 🔥

Fire is the spark of creation and transformation. Ignite the passion within you with the flame of a candle. Work with the element of fire to bring change, manifestation, and protection into your spells. The cauldron, when lit with fire, becomes a sacred vessel for brewing transformative magic.

🌊 Water: The Flow of Emotions 🌊

Dive into the depths of emotions with the element of water. Use water in cleansing rituals to wash away negativity and promote healing. Embrace the ebb and flow of tides and emotions, and work with sea salt or seashells to harness the energies of the ocean.

🌟✨

Incorporating the elements into your practice is an exquisite dance with the forces of nature. As you honor and align with these elemental energies, you'll find your craft enriched with a balance of power and grace.

So, let us journey together and explore the magic of the elements. Embrace the whispers of the wind, the warmth of the sun, the nurturing embrace of the earth, and the flow of the ever-changing waters. In harmony with the elements, we'll discover the boundless wonders that await us on this magickal path.

Cinnamon, for overall protection

Garlic granules, for extra spell protection

Mint leaves, for emotional protection

Vanilla extract, for self-love

Lavender, to ease anxiety

Other ingredients

Seashells

Ocean sand

Create a salt circle, (disclaimer: it is is very important to protect yourself)

Use a tall blue candle

Carve your name onto it

Dress it with peppermint essential oil and chamomile (tip: cut open a tea bag)

Stand it on a plate

Add the different herbs around the candles, one by one on the plate  

Burn out the candle and visualise all your deep-seated traumas leaving your body

June is upon us, bringing the warmth of the sun and the lushness of summer! As the days grow longer, there’s a magical energy in the air that’s perfect for our witchy practices. Here are some enchanting things to do this month, including a few you might not have thought of! 🌞🔮

1. Celebrate Litha (Summer Solstice): On June 21st, the Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year. It’s a powerful time for manifestation and gratitude. Decorate your altar with sun symbols, fresh flowers, and candles. Consider a sunrise or sunset ritual to honor the sun’s peak.

2. Herb Harvesting: Many herbs are at their peak potency in June. Gather rosemary, thyme, lavender, and sage. Dry them for use in spells, teas, and incense. Remember to thank the plants and leave offerings in return for their bounty.

3. Midsummer Night’s Dream: Inspired by Shakespeare, embrace the fae energy that’s strong during this time. Create a faery garden or leave offerings of milk, honey, and shiny trinkets in your garden to invite the fae into your life. ***Be cautious and be aware of who you are working with. Make sure you study before you call forth anything***

4. Solar Water: Create solar water by leaving a jar of water in the sunlight for several hours. This water can be used for cleansing, charging crystals, or in sun spells to bring energy and vitality into your life.

5. Nature Walks: Take long walks in nature to ground yourself and connect with the Earth. Collect natural items like feathers, stones, and leaves for your altar. Pay attention to animal sightings, as they might bring messages from the spirit world.

6. Fruit Magick: June brings a bounty of fruits like strawberries, cherries, and apricots. Use them in kitchen witchery—bake a pie with intention, make a fruit salad charged with positive energy, or create fruit offerings for deities or spirits.

7. Seashell Spells: If you live near the coast or have access to seashells, use them in your magick. Seashells represent water and can be used in love spells, for emotional healing, or to enhance intuition.

8. Firefly Meditations: If you’re lucky enough to have fireflies in your area, watch them in the evening. Use their gentle light to guide your meditation, symbolizing illumination, hope, and the beauty of small things.

9. Sun Gazing: In the early morning or late evening when the sun is not too strong, practice sun gazing. This can be a form of meditation and can help you absorb the sun’s energy directly.

10. Journaling with Intention: Reflect on the first half of the year and set intentions for the months ahead. June is a midpoint, a perfect time to reassess and realign your goals and dreams.

11. DIY Sun Catchers: Craft sun catchers with crystals, beads, and other shiny objects. Hang them in your windows to catch the sunlight and fill your space with rainbows and positive energy.

12. Create a Summer Spell Jar: Fill a jar with items that represent summer to you—sunflowers, sand, seashells, and herbs. Seal it with a yellow candle and use it to attract summer energy into your home.

13. Moonlit Bath: On a warm night, take a moonlit bath with flowers, essential oils, and sea salt. This can cleanse your aura and connect you with the moon’s feminine energy.

14. Dance Under the Stars: Gather friends or enjoy a solo dance session under the starry sky. Let the rhythm connect you with the universe and raise your vibrations.

15. Make Sun Tea: Place tea bags in a jar of water and let it steep in the sunlight. As it brews, infuse it with your intentions and drink it to absorb the sun’s energy.

Let’s embrace the magic of June and make the most of these sunny, enchanted days! What are your favorite witchy things to do in June? Share in the comments! 🌞🌸🔮

Stay strong, stay well, stay safe. 💕

If there has been anything in this series of posts that I didn’t touch on, or that needs expanding, please don’t hesitate to comment/DM. Thanks for reading along.

The reasons for performing a Ritual usually fall under three categories:

to perform Magick or spellwork

to honor and connect with the Divine

to enact spiritual beliefs in a physical and visual way

But if we think about it, most Rituals accomplish all three purposes. In Sabbat rites, the stage of the God’s life is presented, participants are confronted with Divine presence, and energy is raised and put forth to turn the Wheel of the Year. Moon Rituals are then a time to honor the Goddess specifically and gain Her wisdom; express our belief in Her power, existence, and influence on our lives and the world; and we may also perform other sorts of Magick, such as healing, or for another cause.

This is a verse from a song titled, “Circles,” that I feel sums up Ritual purpose very succinctly:

Circles for healing and working the weather

Circles for knowing the Moon and the Sun

Circles for thanking the Lord and the Lady

Circles for dancing the dance never done

Here are tools that are absolutely needed for a Ritual:

Ritual vs. Rite vs. Spell

My personal guideline is that a Ritual celebrates something and is usually repeated, like a holiday or a Moon phase. A spell is often a one-time or as-needed thing, and may be part of a ritual or done seperately. For example, I could charge a healing amulet in a Ritual, or just ground and center and hold the object in my hands while sitting on the couch. By contrast, doing a Midsummer Rite, while done at the Solstice specifically, adds to and builds upon the rest of the year and every Midsummer before it.

I see spells as having a very specified and narrow focus, as in, "help me get a good job" or, "heal this ailment." Rituals, while they still have focus and intent, are broader. Spells are also time-sensitive. They're finite. They can be part of a Ritual, but they aren't always, and can be done completely separately.

To expand/confuse things further, I call the individual parts of a Ritual "rites." So you have the the Rite of Casting a Circle, the Beltane rite, etc.. And when those are patchworked together, they make a Ritual.

To use an analogy, spells are one-shots, Rituals are chapter fics, and rites are the individual chapters.

The altar itself, draped with a cloth if desired. Usually, it will be placed in the center of the Ritual space, facing North. It may have statues or other representations Deity on it, and may be decorated for the season and/or Ritual. It’s common to include a vase of flowers, regardless of any other decorations.

Candles, one each for the God and Goddess being honored plus four total for the Quarters, and a way to light them (I personally prefer matches, some use disposable lighters). Using heat-safe candle holders is an important safety measure. There may be representations of the Elements near the Quarter candles also, such as a stone for Earth, a feather for Air, an additional red candle for Fire, and a seashell for Water.

Incense appropriate to the Ritual being performed. It should be tended to throughout the ritual so it lasts for the duration.

Two small bowls, one filled with salt and another with water.

A wand. Usually the length of a forearm is sufficient, and the type of wood may vary.

Each participants’ athame. The Priest’s and Priestess’ athames are usually on the altar.

Each participants’ goblet. The Priestess’ goblet is usually placed on the altar itself and used to consecrate drink for the Cakes and Wine rite.

An altar pentacle, or at the very least a plate or platter to hold the food that will be blessed during the Ritual.

Food and drink to consecrate and share. Usually, a separate bowl or other vessel is also provided for libations during Cakes and Wine.

Any other tools/accessories are optional, depending on practice, preference, and necessities of the Ritual. Here is a basic diagram of a possible altar set-up:

These are general guidelines for polite and proper behavior in Ritual. Specific groups/Covens may have other requests of their participants.

Arrive to the Ritual location on time and freshly showered, with any garb, food, or other items you may need.

If you are unable to sit/stand/turn/etc. for several minutes at a time, or under your own power, please make this known prior to Ritual so that appropriate efforts to accommodate you can be made.

Once in Ritual space, only move or turn deosil (clockwise) unless directed otherwise. In some cases, asking permission to move widdershins (counter-clockwise) is acceptable and will be granted if deemed appropriate and necessary.

Please do not touch or pick up another’s tools (athame, goblet/chalice, etc.) without being given express permission of the owner.

Please do not pick up or touch items on the altar without asking or being instructed to do so. When doing so, use either the right hand, or, if necessary, both hands together.

If you hear the phrases, “Blessèd Be,” or, “So Mote It Be,” it’s a pretty safe bet you’re supposed to repeat it (except during Personal Consecrations, only the person being consecrated need repeat the phrase then).

The Priest/ess will usually direct participants as to what actions to take during Ritual. But as a general rule if more than three people are performing the same action together, you’re probably supposed to do it too.

Once the Circle is cast, please do not leave the Ritual space unannounced, except in an immediate emergency. In any other case, please ask the Priest/ess to open the Circle to allow you to pass the boundary.

Please only use participants' Ritual names once the Ritual has begun. If you haven't been explicitly told names already, or if you forget, it's perfectly permissible to ask.

Some groups perform Ritual very solemnly, with a formal air and devoted theatrics. Others take a more jovial and casual approach. You'll get the vibe pretty quickly once Ritual starts.

🕯🌒🌕🌘🕯

Most Rituals follow some kind of formula and structure. The following outline of a Ritual progression was created from a melding of my experiences, and various reading materials.

Prior to Ritual, all participants need to don their robes, and whatever other garb they wish to wear. If there are any special instructions for the Ritual, the Priest/ess will usually explalin them briefly at this time. Other preparation may include a guided meditation tailored to the Ritual’s purpose.

⭐

Self-Blessing.

Before entering the Ritual space, participants go through a small, self-blessing rite, anointing specific points on their bodies with consecrated salt-water. There is usually a space and script provided for this purpose. After this is done, everyone will gather at the Ritual site. Once there, everyone breathes deeply to ground, center, and align with each other. Group chanting may take place here as well to facilitate that alignment.

⭐

Circle Opening.

There are several steps to creating sacred space. During these acts, all present are to lend their energy to the physical actions of the Priest/ess.

1. Lighting Altar Candles. Deity candles are lit, sometimes with brief spoken dedications to the Gods being honored (i.e., “This candle burns for ______, Who represents XYZ”). Incense is also lit at this time.

2. Elemental Dedications. Beginning in the East and moving deosil (clockwise), each of the Quarter candles are lit, along with a brief dedication, usually a poetic description of the Direction and Element and what they mean/represent.

3. Circle Casting. Starting in the East, the Circle is drawn by walking deosil around the boundaries of the Ritual space, the energy directed by the wand. A chant of intent may be spoken at this time.

4. Elemental Blessing. The Elemental representatives of salt and water on the altar are mixed, blessed, and consecrated with a brief statement of intent. The incense may also be similarly blessed at this time.

5. Circle Consecration. The salt-water and incense are carried deosil around the Circle. The water is sprinkled and the incense smoke wafted along the boundary. A chant or invocation may be spoken at this time as well.

6. Personal Consecrations. Each participant has their name stated out loud, is then anointed with consecrated salt-water, and finally cleansed with incense smoke. Appropriate songs or chants may be sung at this time.

7. Deity Invocations. The Gods are formally invited to attend and preside over the rite. This is done here because the space has been prepared for and dedicated to Them by establishing and consecrating the boundaries and participants.

8. Calling the Quarters. Beginning again in the East and still moving deosil, the appropriate directional Element is invoked to watch over lend their energy to the rite. All present should salute the Quarters with their athames.

When all Opening steps are completed, it’s common to ring a bell to signal that this portion is complete.

⭐

Ritual Purpose.

This is the point in the Ritual where things get specific, and any necessary rites are performed. Sabbat rites often include an enaction of the stage of the God’s life at that Sabbat, a dance to raise energy for turning the Wheel of the Year, and can also involve a channeling or guided meditation. Esbat rites also often involve a channeling/meditation in addition to any other Magick or spells that may be performed.

⭐

Cakes and Wine.

Food and drink are ritually blessed and libated to the Gods. Then, all participants share in the food and drink together. This is also a time to discuss the rite that was just performed, and/or any other topic the Priest/ess may have chosen.

⭐

Circle Closing.

The Quarters are banished (beginning in the East and moving deosil), directed to return to their own realms, again accompanied by athame salutes. All candles are extinguished to dismiss the energies that resided there during the rite. The Gods are thanked, and the Deity candles on the altar are extinguished as well. A statement that the rite is ended is usually spoken.

🕯🌒🌕🌘🕯

The basic structure of the ritual is the same every time, but the Ritual Purpose portion can vary according to the purpose of the rite. Often, though, the same script will be read and the same actions performed year-to-year and month-to-month. This is done to create triggers for experience. Repetition of the same actions for the same purpose creates a subconscious memory of what happened last time, and so the mind and spirit then react in similar fashion to generate a new experience this time around. Additionally, the repetition builds the energy on itself; if similar energy is generated each time, the end result is stronger than if it were to change every time. Hence, the number of Ritual scripts needed can be as few as nine, one for each Sabbat, plus an Esbat.

Thank you for reading.

Blessèd Be!
