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.

Tea Witch; Creating blends of teas for protection, remedies or even to use for tea-leaf divination. Tools commonly consist of tea, herbs, waters, spices.

Tech Witch; Use of technology in the craft, mostly based through phones or computers. Mostly used for storing of information, grimoires, spell books and Book of Shadows/diaries. Tools consist of apps on the phone, digital sigils, online blogs and pages.

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.

Faery/Fae; Magick for those who communicate with, and/or work with the Fae. Those whom work with fae may also leave offerings regularly as thanks for the assistance of a faery in their spell work. Tools commonly consist of anything sweet, sigils, offerings.

Spirit; A practice which an individual will perform spell work in conjunction with (or the help of) any manner of spirit, including Ouija, demon spirits, spiritual contact of any kind, working with ancestors.

For many years, it was thought that the name "Worm Moon" referred to the earthworms that appear as the soil warms in spring. This invites robins and other birds to feed—a true sign of spring.

However, more research revealed another explanation. In the 1760s, Captain Jonathan Carver visited the Naudowessie (Dakota) and other Native American tribes and wrote that the name Worm Moon refers to a different sort of “worm”—beetle larvae—which begin to emerge from the thawing bark of trees and other winter hideouts at this time.

March’s full Moon often plays a role in religion, specifically in Christianity, this Moon is known as the Lenten Moon if it is the last full Moon of the winter season (i.e., if it occurs before the spring equinox) or as the Paschal Full Moon if it is the first full Moon of spring (i.e., if it occurs after the spring equinox).

This holiday marks the Spring Equinox, which happens before March 19-22. It is the second of three spring celebrations (the midpoint between Imbolc and Beltane)  during which light & darkness are again in balance, with light on the rise. It is a time of new beginnings & of life emerging further from the grips of winter.

There is much debate regarding the origins of Ostara due to the lack of primary sources about this sabbat. One theory is the name of Ostara came from the Anglo-Saxon goddess Eostre. Another theory is that Eostre is more of a localized goddess in Kent County, England. Despite the questions of her origins, Eostre is associated with modern-day Pagan traditions of Ostara.

There is no evidence that the ancient Greeks or Romans celebrated Ostara, although they did celebrate their own spring festivals, such as the Roman festival of Floralia & the Greek festival of Anthesteria. It was a time to honor the returning sun, fertility & rebirth.

Related festivals:

• Nowruz- March 19th

Nowruz marks the first day of spring & renewal of nature. It is celebrated on the day of the astronomical vernal equinox. It is also celebrated as the beginning of the new year by people all around the world for over 3,000 years in the Balkans, the Black Sea Basin, the Caucasus, Central Asia, the Middle East & other regions.

It promotes values of peace & solidarity between generations & within families as well as reconciliation & neighbourliness. Nowruz plays a significant role in strengthening the ties among peoples based on mutual respect & the ideals of peace and good neighbourliness. 

Traditional customs of Nowruz include fire & water, ritual dances, gift exchanges, reciting poetry, symbolic objects & more; these customs differ between the diverse peoples & countries that celebrate the festival.

• Holi- March 25th

Holi is a popular & significant Hindu festival celebrated as the The festival of colors, Love &Spring. It commemorates eternal and divine love of the deities Radha & Krishna. Additionally, the day signifies the triumph of good over evil, as it celebratess the victory of Vishnu as Narasimha over Hiranyakashipu. Holi originated & is predominantly celebrated in the Indian subcontinent, but has also spread to other regions of Asia & parts of the Western world through the Indian diaspora.

Holi also celebrates the arrival of Spring in India, the end of winter & the blossoming of love. It is also an invocation for a good spring harvest season. It lasts for a night & a day, starting on the evening of the Purnima (full moon day) falling on the Hindu calendar month of Phalguna, which falls around the middle of March in the Gregorian calendar.

• Easter- March 31st

also called Pascha or Resurrection Sunday is a Christian festival & cultural holiday commemorating the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, described in the New Testament as having occurred on the third day of his burial following his crucifixion by the Romans at Calvary c. 30 AD. It is the culmination of the Passion of Jesus Christ, preceded by Lent (or Great Lent), a 40-day period of fasting, prayer, & penance.

Easter traditions vary across the Christian world & include sunrise services or late-night vigils, exclamations & exchanges of Paschal greetings, flowering the cross & the decoration and the communal breaking of Easter eggs (a symbol of the empty tomb) among many others. The Easter lily is a symbol of the resurrection in Western Christianity traditionally decorates the chancel area of churches on this day & for the rest of Eastertide. Additional customs that have become associated with Easter & are observed by both Christians & some non-Christians include Easter parades, communal dancing, the Easter Bunny & egg hunting.

Other Celebrations:

• Festival of Luna- March 31st

Is a feast day honoring the Goddess Luna who is seen as the divine embodiment of the Moon.

The Temple of Luna was a temple on the Aventine Hill in Rome, dedicated to Luna, the moon goddess. Its dedication was celebrated on March 31st, thus the celebration.

According to Tacitus, it was built by king Servius Tullius. However, the first confirmed reference to a temple to Luna dates to 182 BC & refers to one of its doors being knocked off its posts by a miraculous blast of air & shot into the back of the Temple of Ceres. That account probably places the temple at the north end of the hill, just above porta Trigemina. The temple was struck by lightning around the time of the death of Cinna, as was the temple of Ceres. After the destruction of Corinth, Lucius Mummius Achaicus dedicated some of his spoils from the city to this temple. It was destroyed in the Great Fire of Rome in 64 AD & not rebuilt.

THE EASY MONEY SPELL THAT GOT ME 100$ IN THREE DAYS! (beginner friendly!)

INGREDIENTS:

Incense

Spell Jar

Cinnamon

Salt

Cloves

Cinnamon sticks

Bay Leaf

Moon water

Candle (Preferably Green or White)

My story:

So when it comes to finances, I’ve been down on my luck. Job searching hasn’t gone quite the best, and I needed money QUICK. I looked at my counter, and I realized I had an empty jar, which I got from the dollar store,

After doing the spell, I carried it with me everywhere, and 3 days later, my absent grandfather (he was never in my life growing up at all, in fact he had abandoned my mother) showed up unannounced and with an invitation to dinner. When there, he handed me 100$ as a gift.

The part you’ve been waiting for, how to make!

Light your green or white candle. Get your spell jar and cleanse with incense, although I also like to double cleanse using a traditional Den-den daiko.

I break the cinnamon sticks (if your jar is big enough, you don’t have to do this), I used 2 sticks. Then, I coated it with another layer of cinnamon.

There, I added in my cloves, and proceeded to coat it with salt.

I got my bay leaf, and with pencil (although you can use marker, eyeliner, etc) I wrote “Money” and put it in the jar.

Here comes my favorite part!

With my candle still on, I close the jar shut, and circle the jar around the candle saying

“Money money come to me

In abundance three times three

May I be enriched on the best of ways

Harming none on its way

This I accept, so mote it be

Bring me money three times three!”

I do and say this three times. Then, I blow out the candle, and pour the wax on the jar to close it shut and seal the spell.

Congratulations! You’ve just done a money spell!

(I’m planning on making a series for easy spells! If you enjoyed, please reblog and follow!)

My firsts rituals

I Spell of Love and Attraction

(from : pinterest)

For this ritual, it is advisable to do it on a Friday of full moon or ascending moon.

You'll need :

Red-pink pen

Blank parchment-type paper

Some plants related to desire (rose, jasmine, cinnamon, basil)/natural incense

Red or pink candles

A cauldron (or container for combustion)

Incense charcoal

A deity to honor (relating to love, sexuality, desire, success, …)

A formula* (example below)

Of hope :) For my part, I will honor Lilith here as an example, but you can adapt the divinity to your beliefs, the important thing is the sincerity of your actions.

How to do it:

Light the candle and write the name and surname of your loved one on the sheet. Then write your own name and surname and circle them all 3 times.

Fold the paper 3 times and then write a symbol related to love on it.

Once the charcoal is lit, burn the plants/incense and recite the formula*, paper in hand and burn completely. You can drop a few drops of candle wax to seal the spell.

After the ashes have cooled, you should place them at the foot of a rose bush.

As for the formula, here is an example:

"I invoke Thee Lilith, O goddess of passion, liberty and courage, grant that my toil and my efforts may enable {her names} to come to me. Open for me the way of his heart, of love and happiness. Very sincerely, soon and forever, thank you."

Keep in mind that the process must be personal and sincere :)

II Spell for luck

(from : pinterest)

For this ritual, it is advisable to do it on a Thursday of full moon or ascending moon.

You'll need:

1 natural fabric pouch

2 green candles (or one green and the other related to the appearance (red-love, yellow-family, …))

1 homemade incense (dandelion or clover)

Salt (similarly, color/variety represents an aspect)

A bay leaf where you will have to write on one side your name and surname and on the other your initials (+possibly a number related to what you are looking for (7 for generally, 9 for the family)

A precious stone to put in the pouch (pyrite, amber, agate, emerald, beryl)

1 memorable object (a coin, a 4-leaf clover, a piece of jewelry)

1 paper with a sigil/symbol/seal of luck

One or more runes or lucky symbols to inscribe on one's hands before the ritual.

A formula* (+possibly a deity to be honored)

Example of a formula: "Uolo felicitatem in uita habere"

For my part, I honor Fortuna, goddess of luck and destiny.

Process:

Installation: Legs not crossed in a sufficiently dark room.

Light the candles and burn the plants/incense while reciting the formula (until the ritual is over).

Put in the bag in order: salt, then laurel, then plants (at least 3 different) and finally the ore.

Add the object and the paper at the same time to the pouch and tie it 3 times with a natural rope.

Keep the pouch in your hands and concentrate (nothing should remain, only the intentions and the incantation) charge with energy with your hands and place on a symbol of sacred geometry (pentagram, Metatron, Merkaba …).

Leave it to charge for 3 days and 3 nights and then you can keep the pouch on you or in a place like your room.

Good luck;)

✨ Protection spell ✨

This is the time of the year to cast protection wards around your home, so here's a simple spell you can do to keep evil out this year.

✨Instructions

Gather the ingredients - ideally directly from your garden, but store-bought is absolutely fine.

Cast a protection circle by your front door. Light a purple candle. Purple is associated with home protection and purification.

Sit and meditate. Focus on what you'd like to attract in 2024, and the negative energies you want to banish.

Add the ingredients, one by one, in a small jar. For each ingredient, spend time with it - smell it, touch it, think about its magical properties.

Once done, close the jar with the wax of the purple candle.

Extinguish the candle. Thank the universe for its protection.

After the spell, keep the jar near your front door. This will protect your home from evil and negative energy this year ✨

Book of Shadows vs Grimoire; What's the difference?

A Book of Shadows (which will be referred to as BOS)

Book of Shadows

A BoS is a witches magick diary, so to speak. It's incredibly personal and may contain pages that consist of shadow work entries, entries on their dreams, sigils, tracking and records, tarot readings & spreads, even spells and their outcomes/progressions if they are making their own. This book is full of mistakes, progression and finalising of creations. You can decided to put anything in your BoS, which is what makes it yours. Many witches usually keep this book hidden or locked to anyone other than the owner of the book. It's quite literally a diary into their craft, so there may be pages in there that are full of vulnerabilities and struggles a witch may face throughout their journey.

Vs. Grimoire

A grimoire is something a little less personal, and more academic and used to find information. A grimoire is used more as a book of information; a guide to meanings, definitions or common information in one place. A grimoire is great when creating/making new spells, rituals, learning of gems and crystals. A grimoire can come in many forms, like a BoS, it can be done online, in a book, or on your phone. It can include key words and sayings, pre-made spells, sigils, prayers, etc. Both the BoS and grimoire can be placed on an altar
