Nothing at all against Wiccans,

but I’m not one. Even though I know some really rad Wiccans, I’m looking to find some non-Wiccan witch and folk magic blogs to follow. Like/reblog/comment so we can find each other and learn from each other.✌️

When you die, only three things will remain of you, since you will abandon all material things on the threshold of the Otherworld: what you have taught to others, what you have created with your hands, and how much love you have spread. So learn more and more in order to teach wise, long-lasting values. Work more and more to leave to the world things of great beauty. And Love, love, love people around you for the light of Love heals everything.

Witchcraft Series: Types of Witches - Nocturnal Witch

noc·tur·nal -  done, occurring, or active at night

What is a Nocturnal Witch?

A Nocturnal Witch is a witch that works and draws power from the night, from the darkness that surrounds them. A Nocturnal Witch is not someone that solely practices their craft in the night.

Is this a left handed path?

Not generally no.

I do spells at night, am I a Nocturnal Witch?

No. There’s a difference from doing spells at night and drawing energy from the night to do spells. Nocturnal witches primarily work at night, yes, but when they do a spell or something of the sort (or just need a bit of energy) they take energy from the darkness that surrounds them. They work with things that are associated with the night and darkness. 

I’m a Nocturnal Witch, does all my witchy business have to occur at night?

No, but remember Nocturnal Witches are mostly active at night. If you can find a completly dark, no sun lit room, then you can do your witchy business at 3 in the afternoon because your surroundings are dark and you can draw the power from that. 

I want to become a Nocturnal Witch, where do I start?

Energy work. You need to be able to draw energies from the night and the darkness. While you work on that you can begin researching things associated with the night (i.e deities, colors, animals, lunar corresponds, etc…). 

Can I cast any kind of spell at night?

Yes. Here’s a list of what is at it’s strongest during each lunar phase:

New Moon: new beginnings, love spells, job/wealth spells, healing,  protection, shadow work

Waxing Moon: constructive magic, success, relationships

First Quarter: peace/balance, cleaning, positive energy

Waxing Gibbous: glamour, attraction, getting things done, inviting in new energies 

Full Moon: divination, protection, love, energy work, legal matters, attracting wealth/luck, prophetic dreams

Waning Gibbous: letting go, cleansing, undoing bindings

Last Quarter: banishing, letting go

Waning Crescent: banishing, healing, rest, peace, justice

Hello All

Hello there!

I’d like to welcome you to my blog!

You call me Nomad, it’s simple and easy, no?

Now, I’m an Acolyte of sorts. I’ve been studying a multitude of areas of magick and the wyrd for years now, I am a hereditary witch of Druidic decent so Earth and Spirit magicks are my main foray. But I have stuck my fingers into many pies of magick

I’ll be making many posts about all types and variants of Magick, along with posts of nature and travel and other little silly things I find.

This blog may also contain NSFW posts so I’ll be saying now that this blog is Strictly 18+
