WITCHCRAFT INFO
WHAT IS WITCHCRAFT?
Witchcraft is the practice of metaphysics and energy manipulation, often with occultic ties. Witchcraft is not a religion or belief system, therefore it is extremely widespread and encompasses a variety of practices, traditions, and cultures. In the simplest way possible, witchcraft is the act of harnessing and controlling energies around you in order to obtain a certain outcome. The main difference in being a witch and practicing witchcraft is that witches often use other tools and outside sources to help boost their energies during metaphysical workings. You do not have to convert religions in order to practice witchcraft. There is no certain belief system or initiation you have to partake in to practice witchcraft.
WHAT MAKES SOMEONE A WITCH?
A witch is a person who practices magick. Witches can come from any background, any age, race or gender and religion. The term 'witch' is a gender-neutral, universal name. A being who claims the title may do what they desire with the craft. There are many types of witches, all of which are nature based. Not all witches are interested in the same type practise, however. One may prefer the study and use of crystals, and another being drawn to divination or even one of the elements. A witch is neither good or bad, as they are only human, and there aren't any rules to being a witch (unless your religion states otherwise).
