How To Become A Witch

Did you know that witchcraft is one of the strongest trends in the category of mind, body and spirit with interest continuing unabated? There is no perfect way to track witches in America, but we know that Wicca is popular according to a number of studies, a religion whose roots at least date back to England in the 1950s.

If you have heard or seen witches in popular culture, there is nothing wrong with that. But what we hear and see about witches in popular culture is completely wrong.

If you are interested in being a witch, you know that there is not a type of witchcraft that you should follow. Witchcraft is as diverse as place to place, sanctuary to sanctuary, and individual to individual.

There are different kinds of witchcraft that you can practice depending on what you want to achieve. Green witchcraft is perfect for those who feel they do not belong in society, or who feel strong enough to be connected to the outside world. There are many ways to practice witchcraft, and some use elements of closed practice.

If your intentions are pure, your spells work and you notice significant changes in your life, you may be able to call yourself a witch. Remember that witchcraft, unlike Harry Potter and the Wizard of Waverly Place, follows the rules of natural law.

If you are male, non-binary, trans or gender neutral, you can be a witch. Witches of all economic backgrounds have been practising for centuries with all the tools at their disposal.

If you want to learn how to become a witch you must learn and practice magic. You will have to follow these simple steps to get there, but you will still want to do it. Once you learn more about magic and start casting your own spells, you can consider yourself a real witch.

Tools such as crystals, tarot cards and incense are handy for rituals and can help sharpen your practice. If you are a witch and practice magic, you have some of the most powerful crystals that money can buy.

No group is a monolith, and individuals from disenfranchised communities have different views on these issues. There are many Latin American, indigenous and black witches practicing their craft, whether it is learning about colonial history of witchcraft or avoiding practices that do not mean creating one’s own rituals. There is a web of actionable advice behind which we can stand. You can buy certain supplies that you will need if you practice witchcraft as soon as possible in stores, but it is best to find them in the natural world.

There are ethical ways to practise modern witchcraft, but you can never really decolonise it. Anti-racist and anti-colonial witchcraft requires daily work, and unless you are a baby witch, this will be for many lives.

Many other communities in the occult world have problematic members who insist that in order to be a witch, one must come from a magical lineage. Some people are witches because they have a family, and if you are looking for a spirit to work with, a magical ancestor is a powerful ancestor choice. But if you come from non-magical families, are not close to them, or have broken off contact with them out of necessity, then you are not just a witch.

Witches are in tune with Mother Earth, healing themselves and offering to heal others. Being a witch means honouring the cycles of the earth, thinking about your own journey and using as much magic as possible.

Long ago, Aurora Luna explained that the modern recovery of witchcraft is about women taking the Neo-pagan religion away from the men who have succeeded. It is about anchoring witchcraft outside the cis-heteronormative gender binary.

The purpose of this study was to investigate and learn about marginalized communities that practise as witches. The extent of marginality in these communities has shaped learning and practice in the group.

I was a solo practitioner for several years before I was invited to join a coven. Now that I knew the people in the coven, I tried it out and learned that the community gave me a witch-sister experience in my life.
