Musing of a witchy writer

Signs you are a witch:

1. You have decided that you are a witch.

wannabe-herbalist:

I don’t even know where to start with the whole witchcraft thing. I want to practice more, to be a practicing Witch but it’s so hard when I don’t have an idea where to start.

Any help?

@breelandwalker has a longer recommendation list because she writes books on this sort of thing. But I have a couple of helpful links that might help get you started

I keep seeing “Signs You’re A Witch” type posts popping up in the tags and ohhhh I’m so tempted to start a fight.

For anyone that needs to hear it, there is NO SUCH THING as being a witch without knowing it.

Being a witch is not a birthright or a genetic marker or a secret superpower or some hidden trait that needs discovering. Being a witch is a conscious personal choice that is entirely up to the individual. There is power in walking the path BECAUSE it is a choice.

There is no quiz or infographic or reading that can tell you whether or not you’re a witch. It doesn’t matter whether you’ve had an affinity to magic and nature since childhood or are only just discovering the craft later in life. It doesn’t matter if you’ve read every book on magic there is or only theorized about what you might like to do. (And yes, you can learn about witchcraft without ever being a witch.) The only one who can decide whether you’re a witch is YOU.

And just to be SUPER clear on the matter, ANYONE can be a witch if they want to. Things like gender, race, religion, and physical ability are not determining factors.

Do you want to be a witch? Are you willing to self-identify as one, even just to yourself, and practice some form of witchcraft?

Congratulations! You can be a witch!

Give it a try if you want to. The path is yours to enter or leave as you will, for as long as you choose to explore it.
