Witchcraft Knowledge

I publish new witchy articles regularly!

Witchcraft is a craft. It is something you create, it is something you nurture, and it can take a long time to work out what that craft is. You might not know why you’ve turned to it, why your curiosity was piqued, but you find answers within the craft that you cannot in the mundane spaces. Folks who start out with an interest in herbalism don’t often go straight into runic divination, but it isn’t unheard of.

Witchcraft isn’t inherently good or evil, much like a gun isn’t good or evil – it’s the user, the owner who decides what to do with it that is the main interest. It is such a unique practice (and it certainly takes practise) that no one witch way is correct, or perfect. Here you will find a selection of articles, spell posts, tips, history and unique perspectives that can shed some awareness on witchcraft.
