NONE of this would be happening in the Berenstein universe
Imagine one of those vampires that spent a few decades napping and now they’re trying to catch up as best they can so they’re in a library looking through years of old magazines and overhear some middle-schooler discussing her project about the moon-landing and they’re like “WHAT!!!”
someone: [presenting misinformation about a special interest of mine that I have an unhealthy obsession with researching]
me, internally: aw jeez, stay cool. stay cool. you WILL look like a know-it-all. just don’t. don’t do it. stay cool.

So you want to be a witch! Here is my own mini guide to help you get started~
First, ask yourself: 1. What are my interests? How could these interests be incorporated into my personal craft? For example, if you love to cook or bake, kitchen witchery may be something you’d like to explore. If you have a passion for nature, you may like to explore green witchery. The list is endless. If multiple paths interest you, explore them all! You don’t need to pick just one. You may be an eclectic witch. Eclectic witches incorporate many different paths to form their own unique path!
Types of witches include (but are not limited to): kitchen, green, sea, cosmic, hedge, urban, traditional, elemental, eclectic, weather, chaos, divination, etc.
There is also Wicca. However, ignore everything by Silver Ravenwolf.
In addition, there is Druidry, Celtic polytheism, Norse polytheism, Hellenic polytheism, Kemeticism, Christian witchcraft, and more.
You do not have to be religious to be a witch! Many see witchcraft as a skill. Not all witches worship Satan. Witches are not “good” or “evil.” Take everything you read, by anyone, with a grain of salt. Witchcraft is highly personal, and there is a lot of misinformation floating about. Not everything will be factual.
Fancy tools are not a requirement! Tools you make or find by yourself in nature will work just as well (and usually better!) Make your wand from a stick you find on a hike, for example! Then you can customize it however you wish. Add crystals, ribbons, glitter, just make it YOURS! The same thing goes for your Grimoire. You can just use a normal notebook, or binder, and personalize it. You don’t have to spend big money on a book (unless you want to). Witchcraft can be as simple or elaborate as you want it to be. There is much more to explore than in this post alone, so stay tuned for additional posts on a variety of topics! Feel free to shoot me an ask if you have any questions! Stay spooky, be safe, and HAVE FUN!
Muslim and Mexican friends and strangers: you have an ally in me. I will not watch anyone terrorize you. I will not listen to anyone call for your death or deportation. If you need help, or just an ear, I am here for you. I will stand with you.
i realised there was no gender neutral for “my sister from another mister” or “brother from another mother” and so I present to you all “my sib from another crib”
People have been requesting me to compile a list of sources to turn to for a really long time. And i have diligently made a list over the past couple of weeks encompassing all sources that i found useful.
Here is the YouTube edition: (There might be a overlap of math and physics here.)
