Asks for traditionally minded witches

I see a lot of ask posts that seem to focus on modern or eclectic styles of witchcraft, so I wanted make one that was more traditionally minded.

So here we go;

What does "traditional witchcraft" mean to you? and/or How would you describe the differences between traditional witchcraft and modern witchcraft?

What tradition, if any, do you follow? If you're not part of a specific tradition, how would you define your traditional practice?

Is what you practice based more in ancestry, local folk lore, or historical practices?

How do you classify the spirits you work with? Are they local spirits, familiars, gods, fairies, devils, and/or others?

In your view, what defines what a "spirit" is? Are spirits simply non-corporeal entities or something else? Both/Neither?

How do you distinguish spirits from each other within your work as a witch? (For example, if you encountered a spirit in the wild what helps you discern if it's a land spirit, the dead, ect...)

Within your tradition/practice, do you have familiars and how would to define a familiar?

If you do work closely with spirits, have they ever challenged you in some form? For your own growth or otherwise, and if this has happened what did this look like for you?

Do you work closely with the land in your practice, if so what forms does this take?

Do you follow seasonal tides, lunar calendars, or other use other ways of tracking/honoring the passage of time?

Do you incorporate any local costumes into your practice that may or may not be based in tradition?

What are the most important tools in your practice, if any?

Do you think traditional witchcraft can be something that is self-taught? or does it require some type of teacher or linage?

Do you think initiation is paramount?

What books, individuals, and traditions most influenced your practice.

Is secrecy important to your practice?

Is your practice private, or do you share it with your community or family?

How does your practice impact your daily life and worldview?

What are some misconceptions or misunderstandings you think people have about traditional witchcraft?

The Walpurgi’s Night is well known for the famous for the mythological flying and meeting of the witches and spirits, and Floralia is an Ancient Roman's festivity dedicated to the Goddess of Spring, Nature and Fertility Flora, that are celebrated between the 30th April and the 3rd May.

The Walpurgi’s Night and Floralia are very inspiring because they reminds me the duality of the Spring Season: the cozy one with the Flowers and the beauties of the Nature and the dark one that is very suble and invisible, but also very present in the folk stories and myths.

For these reason, I wanted to share with you this Book Suggestions that reminds me the Walpurgi’s Night and Floralia, with the Floral themes and the elements of Witchcraft, mysterious powers and rebirth, just like the Spring Season.

It will be included an old book suggestion from my previous account.

If you want to know more about it or share a books that reminds you the Walpurgi’s Night and/or Floralia, or thought about the video,

🎄 Blessed Yule, witches 🎄

Winter solstice

As the winter solstice, Yule represents the darkest and longest night of the year, symbolizing the triumph of light over darkness. Witches view Yule as a time of introspection, renewal, and spiritual rebirth.

In essence, Yule serves as a spiritual reminder of the cyclical nature of life, death, and rebirth, encouraging everyone to align themselves with the rhythms of the natural world and find spiritual meaning in the changing seasons.

Rituals to celebrate

🕯️ Light a candle or burn a Yule log to reflect on the warmth and hope that light brings during the dark season.

🌲 Decorate your altar and your home with evergreen branches, holly, mistletoe, and other symbols of life and continuity.

❄️ Take a silent walk in nature to connect with the winter landscape.

🎁 Engage in acts of kindness or community service to share the abundance in your life.

🍲 Prepare a Yule feast and share with loved ones.
