What are some of the top mistakes you see new witches make (aside from not warding)?

Another wonderful question like the last one! I love that you know about my not-warding complaints. This is not meant to mock or shame new witches in any way, you guys are welcome here and I hope you know that. It's just for education and a bit of fun.

Common New Witch Mistakes

Let's start with a lightning round, here are all things that are false:

You need to be born into a witch family

You need to be a woman

Certain beliefs are required or you can't believe in God

You have to work with spirits and deities

You must pick a witch type

You need a metaphysical or witchy store to get supplies

Specific kinds of tools or supplies must be used

You need to be Pagan/Wiccan

Witchcraft is the only magical practice there is

Tools must be gifted

You need an altar & fancy supplies

Here are some further mistakes:

Not following mundane safety tips Practice fire safety! Wear gloves when you forage! Don't ingest essential oils! Don't take medical advice from strangers online! I see a long list of things spread around that are just really physically or mentally unhealthy for people.

Believing something just because you heard it in passing Just because you heard somewhere witches have to use crystals doesn't mean it's true. Take things with a grain of salt. Consider them. Cross reference. Knowing how to research and find solid information will serve you as a witch FOREVER.

Missing out on core practices Warding is one of them but also goes for cleansing, charging, grounding. You can decide to not do these things and I can't stop you but you need to know what they are first.

Jumping into spell work Doing a simple low risk spell after some research is fine but I see people trying really risky spells without any research! Backfire is a thing people.

Posting information someone could use against you  Do not show exactly how you do a spell. Do not show exactly how you ward. Do not post your whole birth chart. I see witches and non witches alike do the last one and it sends me off on a tangent every time.  

Lack of attention to themselves Know yourself. Find your intuition and follow it. What do you think about that? What do you believe? What do you want your path to be like? Knowing yourself and following your intuition is something that will serve you forever, just like knowing how to research.

Lack of experimentation You're a witch, not a pretentious ceremonial magician. Experiment! As you advance you can write your own spells. You can do tarot without a guide book. You can find your own ingredients. I could go on.

I am NOT a Perfect Witch

I’ve seen a few asks/comments running around about how the witches of Tumblr seem to have all their ducks in a row and do magic spells 24/7 and are generally “perfect” because of it. I can tell you this is probably not the case. At least for me its not. I am not a Perfect Witch. I don’t rigorously follow the phases of the moon, most of the time i forget anyways. I don’t do spells on a regular basis (at least not what i consider to be spells) Heck most of the time the most witchy things i do is reblog stuff to this tumblr.  So for newbie witches and hidden witches please understand: It’s completely okay to not be a “perfect” witch. Once you’ve discovered that you’re a witch you don’t have to cast spells 24/7 in order to protect your title. The Title of Witch is yours as soon as you decide you want to Claim It. No one can or should tell you how to run your path. That is something you will have to discover for yourself, and honestly that’s the best part of the journey. So you forgot a sabbat, big whoop. Sabbats come and go and i rarely do anything for them anyways (maybe halloween but thats tradition haha) Another full moon pass you by? That’s okay, some people don’t like working with the moon and that’s also okay. Try casting a spell and you don’t think it worked? Trust me i still do spells and most of the time they don’t work too. So to all the newbies and hidden witches: Do not fret. You have plenty of time to come into your path and please please please do not feel like you HAVE to be perfect in your path. I am proud to follow my path with all its bumps and turns it throws at me

the way ivan aivazovsky looks at the sea…i think…i think that’s what love looks like.

guys will try to impress you by telling you they know everything about draconic mythology and folklore and then not even be able to tell you the difference between a wyrm and a wyvern

Types of Witches

Once again, it’s time for one of those posts that baby witches love to flock to in order to see what branches of witchcraft are out there that they can dive into. There’s no reason for me to make this post other than the fact I’ve always wanted to make one. In fact, sometimes I explicitly go into the tag just to see these sorts of posts for the nostalgia that they bring for when I discovered a witchcraft community on tumblr.

So for the baby witches out there looking to conduct their own research about the craft, here is another post you can look at to get a look at some notable branches of witchcraft. Just remember, there are numerous branches out there that are already established and that can be brought to light. So maybe if none of these sorts of branches call your interest, I would definitely suggest looking at your surroundings and the things you are drawn to and experimenting with them magically to see what correspondences they hold and using that for witchcraft.

If you find that popping popcorn helps you with spells, do it. Be the Popcorn Witch or Blacksmith Witch, you never thought possible. Just respect others crafts, research in depth what cultures are closed or semi-close or open, and have fun figuring your path out.

(Though keep in mind you don’t need to label yourself as a ‘type’ of witch, just do what feels right. Many witches, regardless of type, may use any method of casting their spells whether it be candles, crystals, or water they’ve collected so don’t feel that you need to limit yourself with your tools because of a path you may want to follow.)

This post includes small summaries about a small handful of particular paths, a handful of blogs in that path to check out, some 101 posts for those interested in a branch I mention, as well as some spells you may want to try out. So take your time and really look through a branch you may truly feel called towards.

Art Witch: A witch that uses art in their craft whether it be whether traditional or digital. They’ll utilize color correspondences, sigils, or what have you to get the job done in more visual spells. The medium the art witch chooses is irrelevant as long as it is art, this to me, can be interpretive to the individual. Personally I include writing as a form of art. So do with that, what you will! From what I’ve seen, some art witches will even have their sketchbooks act as a sort of grimoire or book of shadows. Art Witchcraft Blog(s): @artwitchpath, @modernwitchesdaily Art Witchcraft Post(s): Intro to Art Witchcraft, Art Witch Tip, Color Casting Notable Spell(s): Self Love Sigil, Health and Healing Sigil, Focus Sigil, Luck Sigil

Bath Witch: A witch that will utilize herbs, flowers, essential oils in a different way that burning something into a candle– the bath. These witches make a second home out of their shower, using the magical correspondences of certain material to manifest particular outcomes into their lives. Showers are also part of this sort of magic for those who aren’t fans of sitting in their tub and prefer to stand. Bath Witchcraft Blog(s): (While I was unable to find witches that went under a ‘bath witch’ title here are some witches who have talked about bath magic a good deal) @themanicnami, @orriculum Bath Witchcraft Post(s): Bath Witchcraft 101, Bath Bomb Magic, Shower Magic, Bath Magic Notable Spell(s): Rose Bath Spell, Lucky Waters Bath Spell, Sea Foam Latte, Kickstart My Heart Bath Spell

Cosmic Witch: A witch that utilizes and draws upon the energy of celestial bodies, including our sun, various moons, stars, galaxies, nebulae, and comets. You name it, they do it. Some cosmic witches in particular consistently rely on specific celestial bodies, for instance Pluto or Jupiter and may coin themselves with more specific titles such as ‘Plutonian Witch’ or ‘Jovian Witch’, etc. Cosmic Witchcraft Blogs: @lunaesteria, @phaesphore Cosmic Witchcraft Post(s): Cosmic Witchcraft Masterpost, Cosmic Witchcraft 101, Types of Cosmic Witches Notable Spell(s): Jupiter Self Love Spell, Quasar Banishing Spell, Neptunian Clairvoyance Spell, Shooting Star Hex

Death Witch: A witch that works with death. This path can include helping the deceased move on, finding power and acceptance in the inevitability of death. Instead of finding death the end of one’s life it can represent the end of many things in our lives from friendship to certain opportunities. This path can also include vulture culture, though that varies from witch to witch. Chthonic deity worship is often followed in this practice. Death Witchcraft Blog(s): @death-witch-envy, @chthonic-curiosities, @gravemire​ Death Witchcraft Post(s): Death Witchcraft 101, Graveyard Dirt Collecting, What Death Witchcraft Taught Me, Bone Correspondences Notable Spell(s): Relieving Grief Spell, Honor the Dead Spell, Pet Funerary Spell,

Divination Witch: A witch whose primary focus is divination. This doesn’t stop at just standard and mainstream divination such as tarot or pendulum. This can include any method in which a witch sees the possible futures around them. Divination can be done through many methods including throwing bones, birds, seashells, candle wax, leaves, clouds, and even pop culture methods. The possibilities are endless. Divination Witchcraft Blog(s): @witchservicesbymuriel​ Divination Witchcraft Post(s): Tarot Tips, Scrying 101, Augury 101, Pendulum 101, Unusual divination, Conchomancy/Seashell Divination, Cardcaptor Sakura Clow Cards

Dream Witch: A witch that works with the subconscious mind and prepares their spells to influence their dreams. Their spells can revolve around sending messages, lucid dreaming, as well divination in order to divine any signs their dreams may be telling them. Dream journaling is recommended often to those who wish to practice this path as remembering your dreams is quite a big part of it. Dream Witchcraft Blog(s): @sundreamous​ Dream Witchcraft Post(s): Putting Things Under Your Pillow, Dream Work Correspondence Masterpost, Lucid Dreaming Masterpost, How to Send Dreams Notable Spell(s): Love Advice Dream Spell, Remember Your Dreams Jar Spell, Sleep Protection Jar Spell, I Dream of my Past Life Sigil

Eclectic Witch: A witch whose path is an accumulation of various branches of witchcraft and as such, each eclectic witch is different. For instance a witch whose path is a mixture of cosmic, green, and pop culture magic versus an eclectic witch who uses technology and occasionally tosses something into a jar and uses game cards for spells. There is no real way to find bloggers or spells of this branch as it is one that is your very own. My suggestion for those who feel they may lean into an eclectic path, try out various branches of witchcraft and continue on with whatever calls to you.

Faerie Witch: A witch that works closely with the fae. This can include working with particular Courts, using certain fae magic such as glamours, and leaving offerings for the fae to connect with them and express gratitude for any help they may have given you in a spell. This is a particularly difficult branch of witchcraft as you must be very knowledgeable about dealing with the fae, fae etiquette, and avoiding them. There is a discrepancy in what sort of spirits constitute as fae as far as merfolk and elves being included between practitioners, I suggest asking the mermaid and elf themselves if they consider themselves a fae as some may and some may not. Fae Witchcraft Blog(s): @moon-lightfaerie​ Fae Witchcraft Post(s): Faerie Witchcraft 101, Signs of House Fae, Casting Glamours, Faerie Rings, My Fae Stories Notable Spell(s): Faerie Milk Bath, Faerieland Sigil, Fae Attraction Charm, Faeries Are Welcome Sigil

Green Witch: A witch who works closely with the earth and uses herbs and flowers to manifest outcomes. There are other sub-branches of this path such as a Floral Witch and Garden Witch, but the spells are all the same. These are witches who are in tune with their plants and the nature around them. Though it may look like it, not every green witch is born with a green thumb and there are plenty who developed one over time. Be careful with plant identification and edible plants, it’s greatly recommended to either grow your own organic plants or just buy herbs if you wish to do spellwork that includes consuming herbs. Green Witch Blog(s): @herbwicc​, @sleepydryad​ Green Witchcraft Post(s): Flowers in Witchcraft, Green Correspondences, Biodegradable Planters, Green Witch Path, Green Witch Tip Notable Spell(s): Personal Growth Spell, My Garden Will Flourish Sigil, Calming Spell, Prosperity Poppet

Hedge Witch: A witch that works closely with spirits and “rides the hedge”, or as its often put, travels to liminal planes such as the astral. This is a path that is rather close to the green witch and traditional witch paths, often using herbs to help with meditation and hedge riding. This path requires patience as not everyone can freely and easily astral project or travel or hear the voices of non-physical entities. Hedge Witch Blog(s): @hedge-witchcraft​, @todayinastralhistory​ Hedge Witchcraft Post(s): Liminal Spaces in Witchcraft, Co-existing with Local Spirits,  House Rules,  Warding 101 Notable Spell(s): Malignant Spirits Begone, Family/Loved Ones Protection Jar, Quick Protection Ward, Astral Safety Sigil

Kitchen Witch: A witch who uses their ingredients’ magical correspondences and cooks them to cast and manifest their spells. This can include the standard ingredients in their recipes or using additional herbs and spices for a kitchen witch spell. Should these witches celebrate the Sabbats, the harvest festivals are when they would shine. Kitchen Witch Blog(s): @kitchenwitchcraft​. Kitchen Witchcraft Post(s): Taste Correspondences, Fruit Correspondences, Food Correspondences, Notable Spell(s): Grilled Cheese Spell, Luck and Love Bread Spell, Biscotti Heart Warming Spell, Spirit Soup, Prosperity Dutch Baby Spell

Love Witch: A witch whose magic focuses around love magic. This can include attracting love their way, self-love, platonic love, familial love, or even ending relationships. When it comes to this path, there is a general consensus against forcing one to love you or another person. If you’re going to practice love magic, focus on yourself or just raising the opportunity for you to meet someone you can start a romantic relationship with. Love Witch Blog(s): (couldn’t really find specific love witches) Love Witchcraft Post(s): Love Correspondences, Love Witch Self-Care Tip, Notable Spell(s): Begone Pining Spell, Tinder Matches Love Spell, Communication Emoji Spell, Lucky Love Charm, Self-Love Spell

Lunar Witch: A witch that follows a specific branch of witchcraft in correspondence to a moon and may typically practice spells at night. More often than not, our moon, but this includes the moons of other planets such as Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto, etc. Each phase of the moon in particular will have their own correspondences and as such, it’s important to plan ahead in your spells and track the moon to perform the spell you would like. Lunar Witch Blog(s): @lunaesteria​ Lunar Witchcraft Post(s): Moon Phase Correspondences, Making Moon Water, Plutonian Moon Magic Notable Spell(s): Moonbeam Ward, Over the Moon Love Spell, Good Luck Charm Spell, Waxing Crescent Jack O’ Lantern Prosperity Spell

Pop Culture Witch: A witch who draws inspiration from tv shows, books, anime, and movies for their spells. A spell based off of the Screaming Rick meme? This can happen in pop culture witchcraft. A glamour that makes you feel as gorgeous as your favorite character in Sailor Moon? This is possible in this branch of witchcraft. It has even gone so far as for some pc witches to find pop culture deities to worship and find guidance from. Pop Culture Witch Blog(s): @pop-witch​, @themanicnami​ Pop Culture Witchcraft Post(s): Pop Culture Witchcraft Resources, Pokemon/Planet Correspondences, Pop Culture Witchcraft and Banishing, Pokemon Pop Culture Spirits Notable Spell(s): Sailor Jupiter Banishing Spell, Sailor Moon Glamour, Pepperup Potion, Irma W.I.T.C.H. Fog Calling Spell, TDP Past Life “Historia Viventem Spell”

Sea Witch: A witch who works with the ocean, drawing its energy and using its gifts to cast their magic. There are variants of the sea witch that work with water, but not directly with the sea (ex. ponds, lakes, rivers). Sea witches typically work closely with sea (and even lunar) deities and other spirits of the sea such as merfolk and faeries such as kelpies and selkies. Sea Witch Blog(s): @naomi121406​, @mothmaam​ Sea Witchcraft Post(s): Intro to Sea Witchcraft, Landlocked Witch Tips, Water Correspondences, Sea Magic and the Tides, Sea Creature Correspondences Notable Spell(s): One Word Mermaid Spells, Beauty Sea Spell, Symbolic Sinking Spell, Sea Knot Wish Spell

Solar Witch: A witch, like the lunar witch, follows a specific branch of witchcraft in that they draw and utilize the energy of the sun for their spells. Typically, these witches cast their spells during the day when the sun is both present and at its strongest. Some solar witch activities include making sun water, sun tea, and charging stones. While the sun does not follow phases, there are different times of day best for certain magic and like how moon water takes the properties of the phase it was left out in, the same goes for sun water. For solar witches who wish to cast magic but its nighttime, they can draw energy from the stars as the sun is scientifically considered a star. Solar Witch Blog(s): @healing-sun-witch​, @solarianwitch​ Solar Witchcraft Post(s): Sun Water, Sunrise Magic, Noontime Magic, Sunset Magic, Sun Tea Notable Spell(s): Solar Charged Heat Ward, Forever Sun-kissed Spell, Seeds of Happiness Spell, Glow like the Sun Spell

Tea Witch: A witch whose craft surrounds preparing drinks such as tea into magical creations. Choosing teas based off correspondence and even incorporating stirring motions to grant magical aid alongside herbs, edible flowers, honey, sugar, etc. Iced, Hot, Lukewarm, it’s up to the witch on how they prepare their witchy brews. Tea Witch Blog(s): @orriculum​ Tea Witchcraft Post(s): Teas That Aid Divination, Herbal Tea Correspondences, Fruit Tea Correspondences, Normal Tea Correspondences, Stirring Magic Notable Spell(s): Lunar Rose Milk Tea Self-Love Spell, Thunder Focus Spell, Daytime Witch Tea

Tech Witch: A witch that, unlike most, prefers to use technology quite heavily in their craft beyond constellation and moon apps. These witches typically use their laptops, computers, and phones in their spell. They may keep their BoS/Grimoires as apps and even go as far as to using code for sigils and color magic, emoji spells, scrying via their blacked out phone or laptop screens, or use their own WiFi routers as the wards that protect their home. There unfortunately isn’t many resources for this branch of witchcraft as readily as some other paths. Tech Witch Blog(s): @spellbookbitch​ Tech Witchcraft Post(s): Tech Witchcraft 101, Animal Crossing Witchcraft, Recommended Witchcraft Apps Notable Spell(s): Money Abundance Emoji Spell, Love Attraction Emoji Spell, Tech Witch Wishing Spell, Negative Thoughts Begone Emoji Spell

Weather Witch: A witch whose path is dictated by the weather as their spells resolve around it. From using storm water to give their spells an extra oomph or calling in a bigger chance for rain, these witches pay close attention to their weekly weather forecast. Some weather witches in particular will utilize and call upon particular weather patterns such as snow, rain, or storm and may label themselves as Snow Witches, Rain Witches, or Storm Witches specifically.
