Don't forget Brujos and Brujas, Mexican witches. We work with ancestral deities or Teotl, practice Mexican folk medicine, and work with the ancient pre Columbian calendar.
Yeah, I got Alexa working overtime to figure me out. I finding charging and sweet talk to work the best.... Oh and articulating. ... I mumble sometimes. Lol
I always called my way "mountain witch". Mostly old folk remedies and such. The Appalachian lore is kinda a mash of Native American practice combined with Celtic and Germanic (who were the majority of settlers in the mountains). And because there are aspects of it that are centuries old, I'm always learning new things.
This is my first time hearing about mountain witchcraft as a label, but as an Austrian witch who incorporates alpine folklore into my craft ig that makes me a mountain witch too
@@juliereminiec4937 yeah I have been doing a lot of that in my area to try and lower the Mississippi flood south of mn. On the upside the weather in my town has been eerie enough that people keep talking to me about it and then I just laugh and nod.
It's generally called draconic rather than dragonic witchcraft. I'm so glad you mentioned it, I always feel like I'm practising some kind of reasonably unpopular craft and hardly every hear it acknowledged by anyone else. I hated dragons as figures before I started working with them and their energies and now I'm obsessed. Dragons ftw
is being a color witch a thing? i use color as a centerpiece in my rituals/magick, and the energy associated with that color is what i invoke. my main energy source is from diff colors, and i can also see auras so human energy for me also comes from colors.
Don't mind how im replying to a year old message, but that sounds like an Eclectic witch thing. Many eclectic witches do practices that they made up themselves that work best with them. Or they do a blend of any different types of practices from other witches. End and end, they are a witch that practices witchcraft in their own unique way!
I’m a Solitary Gray Celtic Hedge Witch who works strongly with Crystal, Sigil, and Lunar Magick but I’m not one for labels. 😉 These types/categories are great for identifying yourself for you and other Witches but also shouldn’t limit your workings. I love this girl. She knows her stuff.
I really appreciate the trouble you have gone to to create this video. I have only just found your channel and subscribed after I had watched 2 or 3 of your videos. I love your down to earth, practical approach to explaining things. I hope many youngsters who are searching for their spiritual path will find you before wandering down another, that might lead them into confusion. I have been a witch for more years than you have been alive, but rarely met anyone that has impressed me so much. Thank you.
thank you so much for this. i've never fit in with the green/cosmic witch category perfectly even though some of the ways i approach the world and my craft are so similar to how those veins of witchcraft are described. i felt like a 'fake witch' and sham for so long because i was told so by certain people on pinterest and such. but i know my power, i have seen it and felt it since i was a child. thank you for saying all that you did, it was so comforting to me. you're very very special, hearth 🥺
I am a hereditary sea witch. I learn many things from my family in other worlds. Hence, I focus on water element and connection with water Goddesses, Nereids and others.
I waa an only child raised by a single mother who ran a small coven. I grew up in ritual circle. So thanks to mom I took my 1st Degree at the age of 14. So I guess I am a "Hereditary" kind of witch. That means nothing to me though. I mean that title and $10 will get a coffee at starbucks. No perks or freebies. I tend to only work solo from my home , I love all the "toys" that can be used in ceremonial magick. My backyard is a year round harvest of food , herbs , flowers and I compost everything I can . I have healthiest lawn in the neighborhood. LoL
That's really cool! So would that mean that you are Wiccan (if you took your first degree)? And would that also mean that your mother was High Priestess? Sorry, I'm just new here and very curious 😄
Two years after your comment, I’m compelled to offer a response : You sound like a grounded, multi-skilled young man with a healthy sense of humor about yourself-and I’m guessing, a great Mom… As you have your (Wiccan?) shared history of ceremonial majick in common, have you considered writing a BOOK together? Something tells me that the combination of Family and Witchcraft would be fascinating to a wide cross-section of people ; a highly marketable Publishing Project, indeed… Plus, your writer’s “Voice” comes through loud and clear!
I usually call myself a Green Witch, as that is the term I prefer, however I could probably fit into either Green Witchcraft, Cottage Witchcraft, and Hedge Witchcraft. Edit: also, I do incorporate a Wiccan (and also Hindu) influence to my work, however, I do not consider myself Wiccan (or Hindu) and have more of a secular view of my craft.
it seems impossibly boring to be only one of these for any extended period of time. I'm an old witch, I've practiced most of these. Always just called it traditional.
I have a deep connection with the sun, but at some point when i was in sixth and seventh grade, i was really intuned with the rain. Whenever i came to my extra English tutor class early, it would rain. I didn't know why and everyone around me had joked about me being a witch and came early before the rain (because i had a reputation of being late to class at this tutor center, but every single time, in 2 years without fail, if i came early, then it would rain later that day). And once i came almost 2 hours early, it rained right after my arrival, and on that day the biggest storm of the year came, the center's power was cut off for 2 hours and i found out that there was an accident happen on my way home to this center, and i had just missed it
XD i think i might have put some magic and stuff in everything i cook without realizing it. My mother says always that the food i make tastes different but great. And when i eat food from other people i tend to not feel something. Like something is missing. The usual spark of happiness & hope i taste in my own food just doesnt appear in other peoples food when they cook. XD oh well.
Thank you for explaining hedge witch so beautifully! I’d like to add to it for my sister hedge witches who may not know their calling just yet...if you’ve found a talent in attending BOTH deaths and births as a doula, midwife, or CNA (worked in nursing homes or hospices) and can feel energies in the room, maybe can even manipulate them...you are a hedge witch. Don’t hide anymore. Come out of the broom closet. ♥️
Woah I didn’t know how many paths of witchcraft there were, thank you for the very informative video! I deeply resonate with hedge or cosmic witchcraft! ✨👽🧙🏼♀️
Her: and yes a crystal witch... they usually go above and beyond.... me: as I have a bunch of crystals on me and all around me *i don’t know what ur talking about looool*
Me with my amethyst that came to me in elementary: “they talking bout us?” Nah Fr, I connected with hearth, it gave me flashes of my past life where I was a solitude hearth green witch. I wish my familiar would return to me, I miss my black kitty so much even though I have never met them in this life. I cry whenever I get flashbacks of me kissing them on the chin like they loved or them curling by my feet while the fireplace crackled. I know she is happy wherever she is..
You're the shiznit at teaching the basics & theory of wc 101 & setting newcomers & window shoppers straight on at least where to begin & what to expect. What a great service you're providing to fellow practitioners & the craft in general. Many blessings should be returned to you! Great day!
Thank you so much for posting videos! My magical journey has been quite incredible over the five years. It used to be just burning sage in the apartment, to learning about Native American practice, to full on practicing. I always have so many things I want to learn and haven't yet. You're an exceptional teacher. Xx
I'd love more in depth videos on Hearth & Lunar. I have dabbled in both practices and have been looking to go further. Wonderful video, thanks for your work!
I really like your videos 💕 A lot of my friends are Pagan and Wiccan and some practice Witchcraft ! These videos really help and ya boi trying to be supportive 🌻Happy spring btw!
Thank you so much for this video! I love that through this examination of types of witches, your enthusiasm is the same for each type! Even though you are a proud hearth witch (I tend to lean this way as well), you invoke equal enthusiasm when discussing the different types. Love it!
This was very educational. I love that everything is well thought out and objective. Drawn towards the path of witchcraft at a young age, I took a detour down the yogic path, I have recently felt drawn back towards this path (now in my late 40’s). it’s such a gift that a young and intelligent witch as yourself are touching so many, imparting your knowledge to others. Good luck as you continue on.
I'm mainly a non-theistic solitary cosmic witch even though I dabble in many other categories. Very interesting. Thank you for the very informational video.
From my understanding, sigil Magic, Effigy dolls, creating spirit servitors, Etc are all considered chaos magic. I think there's a lot of things that figure into the chaos magic, because it's more of the eclectic witch practice in a way? Since it is all very freestyle. And I'm sure many practitioners have figure it out some sort of system with what they have been learning and tried to make up some ritual of Their Own.
Thank you for such a comprehensive and informative video! I'm very curious about the Craft of Witchcraft, and this is such a simple intro to further peek ones' interest.
You know I have gone down rabbit holes about witches just cuz I always like to listen to others even if I “already know” . You have by far broke it down for a good reference or someone who is new . Can’t wait to watch more of your videos.
This video is very informative. I fall into a few of these categories. I work with candles and dried herbs. I don't worship deities as I am not religious. I only observe the equinoxes, solstices, the season's, and certain cycles of life( birth, death, marriage, coming of age, ect.) I tried wicca, but for me, believing in deities is not for me, however, I do believe in masculine and feminine energies in nature and people, but they are just that, energies, not deities to me. The triple goddes to me only represents the cycle of a womans life from youth to elderhood, but not as a goddess itsself, just a representation of the feminine life cycle. I do work with certain angels and spirits when the need arises, and I am not above baneful magick. I will perform baneful magick, have been approached and show things by demons in the past who wished to teach me the "infernal mysteries" (as they called it) and have shown me some wickedly dark things. Their energy is extremely heavy and dark. One cannot be weak or careless to work with them. I very much tow the line between light and dark and depending on the situation can vere either way. I respect my craft highly, my path definitely very unique.
I am a hereditary witch, sea witch, Solitary witch, cosmic witch, empath witch, Astral witch, tea witch, literary witch, Crystal witch, hedge witch, kitchen witch, medicinal witch, and Root witch. I might go into pop culture, I love Harry Potter, Charmed, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, And Every Witch Way, And Wits Academy. My late grandma on my mom’s side worked with crystals,, meditAted, and had a reiki book she passed down to me. She wanted me to have her book so now I own it. She also had a mortor and pestle. I am a water sign so I am more drawn to water.
I shared your channel with MY teacher a 2nd Degree Priest and he LOVES this video in particular...we all love you...keep giving all this great information!
I've seen a blend between secular and religious, in a way. For example, despite incorporating spirits or Deities, they don't necessarily stay associated with any one entity or Deity for long or consider it worship. They may see them as a means to an end or even a part of themselves or lesser beings, as "we are the real Deities."
These videos of yours are just pure freaking gold. Your Cancer Sun and Cap Moon lend the most fantastic balance of understanding and determination with relaying these incredibly important magickal details to us all. Thank you so much, Hearth, from the bottom of my heart. BTW - Are you an Aries rising? Just a thought I was being nosy about. Much love to you and yours, Hearth!
I agree with what you say that you can’t force yourself to study anything you see about witchcrafts because if it’s really your gift you will be guided into that path . Even people tell you to study a certain things but your soul is not into it ,I can say it will never learn .Why you want to learn is what your soul wants you to learn and understand.
I watched this to try and determine what witch path I might be interested in trying out and my deities both agreed I would probably like being a hedge witch. I just finished your explanation and it sounds perfect! Thank you for making this video!
This was so interesting. Though it makes sense in hindsight, I never knew there were so many variations of witchcraft or the difference between Wiccan and Witch. Thanks for sharing! :)
New sub today Thank you for the extensive list and excellent explanations... I have been told all my life I am a witch and I could not even think of a type that might apply.... thank you...

What about those of us who have had a lifelong fascination with a specific ancient culture and try to piece meal together a "Reconstructionist Tradition". I myself am a Babylonian Reconatructionist Witch and "Keeper of the Shrine of Twin Rivers Rising" . But I realize there are way too many types of Witchcraft to keep up with them all
Thank you so much for this. Gave me so many new ideas. Im a 20 year practitioner and I love when I can learn new things. So much information...so little time. Keep up the good work my dear. You're amazing! 😁
I am not sure that you could say that Kitchen Witchin' is easy (not that any form of whitching is easy). A kitchen witch needs to be able to cook in the first place. Then there is putting the ingredients together in a way that tastes good. Now let's move on to the nutritional properties of food. Knowing which items provide what vitamins, which ones give you your carbs and so on. Then there comes the medicinal properties. What foods will help with... stomach problems, what strengthens immunities, what ones calm you down or wake you up, and on and on. And then there are the magical aspects of each ingredient. Are you going to introduce an energy that might weaken your work? Will a tea that is supposed to calm as well as relax do that, or will it be anesthetic? And have you ever tried getting a cheesecake out of the oven and cooled WITHOUT it splitting? Not easy. I don't think that kitchen Witchin' is that much harder than any other form of witchin'. Each type has its own difficulties that are unique to that tradition. But I would not call kitchen witchin' easy. I will say that most kitchen witches make it LOOK easy. But then... we are doing something we love to do.
I had always been in love with witch craft but never knew where to start growing up so I eventually set it aside...The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina had jump started my love for the craft again, but I was always afraid that this made me following some type of trend due to its inaccurate representation of actual Satanism and it’s exaggeration of Christian-based devil-inspired witchcraft... And to find out that Pop Culture Witches Are actually a THING? This just made me so happy!!!
I'm solitary, kind of a newbie. I'm just observing the sabbats, and learning more about the different kinds of witchcraft/wicca/hoodoo. I'm from Kentucky and my ancestors were Germans from Pennsylvania (Deitch) who migrated to Kentucky with Daniel Boone in the 1700s. So, I'm attracted to Appalachian style folk magic (which is what the folklife culture here feels like - it's witchy without knowing it's witchy), hoodoo, braucherei, but really anything that feels witchy with or without the label. Some of my favorite non-witchy witchy books are the Foxfire series of books about different aspects of Appalachian folklife, my "Wildflowers and Ferns of Kentucky" book, that type of thing. I do incorporate god/goddess and work with some aspects of draconic wicca, but it's not my main thing. Wildcrafting, gardening, and reducing my carbon footprint are my main "witchy" practices that aren't. The Liziqi youtube channel really is more "witchy" to me than most witchy youtube channels, because she mainly just does wildcrafting and cooking and living in harmony with nature, which to me is what it's all about. I do love *your* channel 'though. :) And Madame Pamita's stuff, and New Age Hipster. I think I *might* describe myself as New Age Folksy.
can you do a video on elemental witches please. this was such an educational video. i just discovered you & am learning sm. thank you for all that you do!!
As always, your videos are so insightful and absent of bias. I help run a witchcraft discord server having your videos are a huge boon for explaining topics to the baby witches-as well as, topics that I don’t research personally. Thank you again, and see you around the witching community! I would be interested in learning more about faery witchcraft.
What are you talking about? She's a baby witch. All she did was name a list of wiccan buzzwords. She only addressed one system of magick. There are thousands upon thousands, and she never once mentioned a different type of witch. Let's hear about Mambos, Chinese Wujiao, or Native American Medicine women. They are witches in every sense. They don't fall into these categories. That's what a different type of witch is. That's when the rules change and you actually start seeing another kind of magick.
Good information! I will be following your videos and with your assistance, I am going to teach myself well. I have already had a wish come true, was looking for someone I can trust to guide me through this and here u are! You're awesome.
Rich cultures there. Brujos are Mexican witches that follow pre Columbian pagan ways. In Africa witchcraft is still very common, although more persecuted these days after the introduction of Christianity and Islam. African witchcraft can often be synonymous with Vodoun.
Namaste Sacred Sister... I am one of the Celtic "Ancients of the Days" on my Earth walk I have met many Beautiful. Wonderful. Amazing Witches...One of them once said to me "The best number of Witches in a Coven is " One" ha!! Thank you for your Wisdom..."Kierr-nah-wie " Brother. 🙏🙏
You are certianly the most informed person ive seen do these videos thank you so much for being so well rounded on the craft. I have alot of curiosity about air witches and their practice if you could do a video that explores that or even the elemental witch
hearth, I'm a Traditional Atmospheric Solitary Witch.. I work with the elements, weather & changes in the atmosphere ,temperature & weather... . I will be this type of witch(with music added at a later time) as soon as I'm living else where
I'd say I bop in-between Solutary witch, secular, Eclectic and also being a crystal witch. I've been in the broom closet for 4 years as of 3rd of February and practicing for 2. I felt scared to come out to my parents because I was raised to find my own religion and I felt drawn to the earth and nature. My stepdad was unsure at first and has gone out of his way to sit with me and ask about it as well as respect my privacy when I'm practicing. My mum had an inkling I was a witch deep in her soul. She somehow knew i was one before I knew and she's a Christian who lost her faith before my brother was born in 85. I feel so at home with my faith 😌 and at my true self.
Loving your videos so much. Thank u. I definitely feel eclectic in a way and I wish I was more outdoorsy because I love working with nature and herbs and flowers and I live in the countryside but I love to practice inside the house and definitely relate to feeling like a homebody and working at home and in the kitchen most of all. I feel called by nature though... Xx
ScentsAndStones yes definitely 😂 I used to love baking and cooking and I’d keep herbs but anything beyond the herbs like flowers outside would just die. I was terrible at gardening. It’s something I really want to work on. 😊
Emily J C F Diamond I’m going to work on it this year, too. When I was younger I did so much, and then when I got sick a few years ago (autoimmune disease and fibromyalgia)I didn’t care about gardening or my plants at all. I couldn’t keep a thing alive lol. Now that I’m no longer working and finally actually taking care of myself, I feel better and am keeping houseplants alive again, and looking forward to gardening as well.
ScentsAndStones that’s wonderful that you’re healing and inspired to get back out there. It’s very inspiring for me too. I don’t know what it is really holding me back about being outside more but exploring shadow work is helping me. So interesting. I will definitely do my best to push myself out there more. It’s so beautiful when I do 😊 sending blessings for your journey too Xx
I would love for you to do all 15 in 15 separate videos or maybe 2-3 in one . It might be a little too much though but would love a fire witch video always been drawn to it.
Don't forget Brujos and Brujas, Mexican witches. We work with ancestral deities or Teotl, practice Mexican folk medicine, and work with the ancient pre Columbian calendar.
That probably wasn't included because it's seen as a more closed tradition
Wow! I was not familiar with this. Gracias!
I think it may not have been included because it's a closed practice
Do you have any resources to learn more about Mexican witchcraft? I am a Mexican I would like to look more into the Brujería practice :)
@@CelesteSinger1 No I'm white lmao but maybe someone else does here
Another common variety: the lazy witch
Rofl yes. I'll clean up the wax... Eventually

Lol I don't want to be lazy lol
probably gonna be me lmao

I've never heard of a color witch. It's very interesting. Has the use of colors helped you in manifesting change in your life?
It is if you say it is. Witchcraft is very individual. If that's the name that you fell best describes you then you absolutely can call yourself that.
That’s so lovely!

Is that like practicing Runic Magicks ? If so I am very into my Runes for lots of things.
Thank you so much for posting videos! My magical journey has been quite incredible over the five years. It used to be just burning sage in the apartment, to learning about Native American practice, to full on practicing. I always have so many things I want to learn and haven't yet. You're an exceptional teacher. Xx
Oh my gods, I'm so happy I found your channel! I'm so glad you included us Draconic witches in this video! 💕
I'd love more in depth videos on Hearth & Lunar. I have dabbled in both practices and have been looking to go further. Wonderful video, thanks for your work!
I really like your videos 💕 A lot of my friends are Pagan and Wiccan and some practice Witchcraft ! These videos really help and ya boi trying to be supportive 🌻Happy spring btw!
Thank you so much for this video! I love that through this examination of types of witches, your enthusiasm is the same for each type! Even though you are a proud hearth witch (I tend to lean this way as well), you invoke equal enthusiasm when discussing the different types. Love it!
This was very educational. I love that everything is well thought out and objective. Drawn towards the path of witchcraft at a young age, I took a detour down the yogic path, I have recently felt drawn back towards this path (now in my late 40’s). it’s such a gift that a young and intelligent witch as yourself are touching so many, imparting your knowledge to others. Good luck as you continue on.
I also heard about art and music witches! Thank you so much for the explanation ✨🍀💜😊
I'm mainly a non-theistic solitary cosmic witch even though I dabble in many other categories. Very interesting. Thank you for the very informational video.
Thanks!
I would really really LOVE a video on the path of a Heart Witch.
Lovely!! Would’ve liked to see Chaos Witches in the list, but super informative regardless. I’m interested in Elemental Witchcraft as well. 🔥🍄🌪💧
Angie Ray do u think it's real?
I am just getting into Chaos Magic. I've been on the path five years now and my practice has been feeling...lacking. Like it's not quite me.
Meadow Rae maybe someone or something doesn't want you to get there
From my understanding, sigil Magic, Effigy dolls, creating spirit servitors, Etc are all considered chaos magic. I think there's a lot of things that figure into the chaos magic, because it's more of the eclectic witch practice in a way? Since it is all very freestyle. And I'm sure many practitioners have figure it out some sort of system with what they have been learning and tried to make up some ritual of Their Own.
Jiwon is that effective?? Creating own rituals
Your videos are beyond amazing! I always learn so much from them. You explained it always so well! Love it! Grateful! 🙏🧝🏻♀️
Thank you so much xx
Thank you for such a comprehensive and informative video! I'm very curious about the Craft of Witchcraft, and this is such a simple intro to further peek ones' interest.
You know I have gone down rabbit holes about witches just cuz I always like to listen to others even if I “already know” . You have by far broke it down for a good reference or someone who is new . Can’t wait to watch more of your videos.
This video is very informative. I fall into a few of these categories. I work with candles and dried herbs. I don't worship deities as I am not religious. I only observe the equinoxes, solstices, the season's, and certain cycles of life( birth, death, marriage, coming of age, ect.) I tried wicca, but for me, believing in deities is not for me, however, I do believe in masculine and feminine energies in nature and people, but they are just that, energies, not deities to me. The triple goddes to me only represents the cycle of a womans life from youth to elderhood, but not as a goddess itsself, just a representation of the feminine life cycle. I do work with certain angels and spirits when the need arises, and I am not above baneful magick. I will perform baneful magick, have been approached and show things by demons in the past who wished to teach me the "infernal mysteries" (as they called it) and have shown me some wickedly dark things. Their energy is extremely heavy and dark. One cannot be weak or careless to work with them. I very much tow the line between light and dark and depending on the situation can vere either way. I respect my craft highly, my path definitely very unique.
I am a hereditary witch, sea witch, Solitary witch, cosmic witch, empath witch, Astral witch, tea witch, literary witch, Crystal witch, hedge witch, kitchen witch, medicinal witch, and Root witch. I might go into pop culture, I love Harry Potter, Charmed, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, And Every Witch Way, And Wits Academy. My late grandma on my mom’s side worked with crystals,, meditAted, and had a reiki book she passed down to me. She wanted me to have her book so now I own it. She also had a mortor and pestle. I am a water sign so I am more drawn to water.
I shared your channel with MY teacher a 2nd Degree Priest and he LOVES this video in particular...we all love you...keep giving all this great information!
I've seen a blend between secular and religious, in a way. For example, despite incorporating spirits or Deities, they don't necessarily stay associated with any one entity or Deity for long or consider it worship. They may see them as a means to an end or even a part of themselves or lesser beings, as "we are the real Deities."
I always learn so much from your videos! Thanks for all your hard work on this channel!
I'm a new witch and this has been very helpful
These videos of yours are just pure freaking gold. Your Cancer Sun and Cap Moon lend the most fantastic balance of understanding and determination with relaying these incredibly important magickal details to us all. Thank you so much, Hearth, from the bottom of my heart. BTW - Are you an Aries rising? Just a thought I was being nosy about. Much love to you and yours, Hearth!
I agree with what you say that you can’t force yourself to study anything you see about witchcrafts because if it’s really your gift you will be guided into that path . Even people tell you to study a certain things but your soul is not into it ,I can say it will never learn .Why you want to learn is what your soul wants you to learn and understand.
I watched this to try and determine what witch path I might be interested in trying out and my deities both agreed I would probably like being a hedge witch. I just finished your explanation and it sounds perfect! Thank you for making this video!
I'm a gray, solitary, water/sea and animal witch.
This was so interesting. Though it makes sense in hindsight, I never knew there were so many variations of witchcraft or the difference between Wiccan and Witch. Thanks for sharing! :)

And chaos witch
What about those of us who have had a lifelong fascination with a specific ancient culture and try to piece meal together a "Reconstructionist Tradition". I myself am a Babylonian Reconatructionist Witch and "Keeper of the Shrine of Twin Rivers Rising" .
But I realize there are way too many types of Witchcraft to keep up with them all
@@stagehandjay4683 I've always been interested in Sumerian Witchcraft...
is it similar to Babylonian Witchcraft?
Thank you so much for making these videos, I'm just staring my witchcraft journey and you videos are an amazing source of information!
I'd love to know more about green witchcraft. Thank you!
Great video!!!
Thank you so much for this. Gave me so many new ideas. Im a 20 year practitioner and I love when I can learn new things. So much information...so little time. Keep up the good work my dear. You're amazing! 😁
I am not sure that you could say that Kitchen Witchin' is easy (not that any form of whitching is easy).
A kitchen witch needs to be able to cook in the first place. Then there is putting the ingredients together in a way that tastes good.
Now let's move on to the nutritional properties of food. Knowing which items provide what vitamins, which ones give you your carbs and so on.
Then there comes the medicinal properties. What foods will help with... stomach problems, what strengthens immunities, what ones calm you down or wake you up, and on and on.
And then there are the magical aspects of each ingredient. Are you going to introduce an energy that might weaken your work? Will a tea that is supposed to calm as well as relax do that, or will it be anesthetic?
And have you ever tried getting a cheesecake out of the oven and cooled WITHOUT it splitting? Not easy.
I don't think that kitchen Witchin' is that much harder than any other form of witchin'. Each type has its own difficulties that are unique to that tradition. But I would not call kitchen witchin' easy.
I will say that most kitchen witches make it LOOK easy. But then... we are doing something we love to do.
I had always been in love with witch craft but never knew where to start growing up so I eventually set it aside...The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina had jump started my love for the craft again, but I was always afraid that this made me following some type of trend due to its inaccurate representation of actual Satanism and it’s exaggeration of Christian-based devil-inspired witchcraft...
And to find out that Pop Culture Witches Are actually a THING?
This just made me so happy!!!
I'm solitary, kind of a newbie. I'm just observing the sabbats, and learning more about the different kinds of witchcraft/wicca/hoodoo. I'm from Kentucky and my ancestors were Germans from Pennsylvania (Deitch) who migrated to Kentucky with Daniel Boone in the 1700s. So, I'm attracted to Appalachian style folk magic (which is what the folklife culture here feels like - it's witchy without knowing it's witchy), hoodoo, braucherei, but really anything that feels witchy with or without the label. Some of my favorite non-witchy witchy books are the Foxfire series of books about different aspects of Appalachian folklife, my "Wildflowers and Ferns of Kentucky" book, that type of thing. I do incorporate god/goddess and work with some aspects of draconic wicca, but it's not my main thing. Wildcrafting, gardening, and reducing my carbon footprint are my main "witchy" practices that aren't. The Liziqi youtube channel really is more "witchy" to me than most witchy youtube channels, because she mainly just does wildcrafting and cooking and living in harmony with nature, which to me is what it's all about. I do love *your* channel 'though. :) And Madame Pamita's stuff, and New Age Hipster. I think I *might* describe myself as New Age Folksy.
I combine everything and I don’t like to put myself into a type. I do a lot.
can you do a video on elemental witches please. this was such an educational video. i just discovered you & am learning sm. thank you for all that you do!!
As always, your videos are so insightful and absent of bias. I help run a witchcraft discord server having your videos are a huge boon for explaining topics to the baby witches-as well as, topics that I don’t research personally. Thank you again, and see you around the witching community!
I would be interested in learning more about faery witchcraft.
What is your discord server called? I’m interested 😁
What are you talking about? She's a baby witch. All she did was name a list of wiccan buzzwords. She only addressed one system of magick. There are thousands upon thousands, and she never once mentioned a different type of witch. Let's hear about Mambos, Chinese Wujiao, or Native American Medicine women. They are witches in every sense. They don't fall into these categories. That's what a different type of witch is. That's when the rules change and you actually start seeing another kind of magick.
this helped me with my witchy research thank you :D
Definitely an Eccletic Wizard here. I study what comes across my path. A little bit of everything to form my way and my path.
I'm getting started, and I'm looking at sea, green and hedge witchery
TIL i am also a hearth witch! A combo of green + kitchen + introversion 🤗
this is the exact video i have been looking for. new to all of this and would get lost in other vids! thank youuu
Love this! Please make a full video on hedgewitchraft
Another great video. You are so thorough, it's amazing♥
This was such an interesting video! I am really excited to learn more about each one and adding bits and pieces of each to my practice. Thanks Hearth
This is absolutely what I needed! 💜 Thank you
Good information! I will be following your videos and with your assistance, I am going to teach myself well. I have already had a wish come true, was looking for someone I can trust to guide me through this and here u are! You're awesome.
I'm air,earth, green natural, and exploring fae :)
So, most of us are a little from column A, a little from B, and some C thrown in for spice? Sounds like a very twisty and fun path to walk.
Hearth witches give off the best kind of Grandma energy
Thank you for this video 💞💞💞
Could you please do a video on Solar Witches
Any info on North American, African, or Asian witch craft, Hearth?
Rich cultures there. Brujos are Mexican witches that follow pre Columbian pagan ways. In Africa witchcraft is still very common, although more persecuted these days after the introduction of Christianity and Islam. African witchcraft can often be synonymous with Vodoun.
Shamanic witches draw their knowledge from native American traditions from north America
I would love to learn more about candle magic and sigil. I am loving all your videos!
Namaste Sacred Sister... I am one of the Celtic "Ancients of the Days" on my Earth walk I have met many Beautiful. Wonderful. Amazing Witches...One of them once said to me "The best number of Witches in a Coven is " One" ha!!
Thank you for your Wisdom..."Kierr-nah-wie " Brother. 🙏🙏
I'm a Vedic astrologer and astro-gemologist. My great-grandparents were from Okney Islands, Scotland.
Amazing, so informative and understandable! Thank youu
very useful and documented information. I found myself as green witch. thank you 💗
Hello! Thank you for the wonderful video!
You are certianly the most informed person ive seen do these videos thank you so much for being so well rounded on the craft.
I have alot of curiosity about air witches and their practice if you could do a video that explores that or even the elemental witch
hearth, I'm a Traditional Atmospheric Solitary Witch.. I work with the elements, weather & changes in the atmosphere ,temperature & weather... . I will be this type of witch(with music added at a later time) as soon as I'm living else where
I'd say I bop in-between Solutary witch, secular, Eclectic and also being a crystal witch. I've been in the broom closet for 4 years as of 3rd of February and practicing for 2.
I felt scared to come out to my parents because I was raised to find my own religion and I felt drawn to the earth and nature. My stepdad was unsure at first and has gone out of his way to sit with me and ask about it as well as respect my privacy when I'm practicing. My mum had an inkling I was a witch deep in her soul. She somehow knew i was one before I knew and she's a Christian who lost her faith before my brother was born in 85.
I feel so at home with my faith 😌 and at my true self.
Loving your videos so much. Thank u. I definitely feel eclectic in a way and I wish I was more outdoorsy because I love working with nature and herbs and flowers and I live in the countryside but I love to practice inside the house and definitely relate to feeling like a homebody and working at home and in the kitchen most of all. I feel called by nature though... Xx
Emily J C F Diamond Sounds like me! Plus, I don’t like to be hot or cold - so I’m a fair-weather green witch haha.
ScentsAndStones yes definitely 😂 I used to love baking and cooking and I’d keep herbs but anything beyond the herbs like flowers outside would just die. I was terrible at gardening. It’s something I really want to work on. 😊
Emily J C F Diamond I’m going to work on it this year, too. When I was younger I did so much, and then when I got sick a few years ago (autoimmune disease and fibromyalgia)I didn’t care about gardening or my plants at all. I couldn’t keep a thing alive lol. Now that I’m no longer working and finally actually taking care of myself, I feel better and am keeping houseplants alive again, and looking forward to gardening as well.
ScentsAndStones that’s wonderful that you’re healing and inspired to get back out there. It’s very inspiring for me too. I don’t know what it is really holding me back about being outside more but exploring shadow work is helping me. So interesting. I will definitely do my best to push myself out there more. It’s so beautiful when I do 😊 sending blessings for your journey too Xx
Emily J C F Diamond Good luck in getting out there and digging in the dirt, and blessings to you as well! 🧡
Excellent! Very informative!
Your so good at teaching this good job 👍
Thank you for this video! Also, just wanted to say... I love hearing you talk! Have a blessed day!
Would love a link to find out more about solar witches 🙌 I’ve always been ‘solar powered’ so really interested to find out more about this ✨
This was such a helpful video!!!
Awesome breakdown, thank you!
I would love for you to do all 15 in 15 separate videos or maybe 2-3 in one . It might be a little too much though but would love a fire witch video always been drawn to it.
I think I am an eclectic witch but more into Sea, Kitchen, Water, Cosmo, and Crystals. I definitely use a bit of all of those.
So informative always,love watching you my favorite so far others talk to much and no useful info thanks.
