Witchcraft is not a set of criteria
Witchcraft is a state of mind
Anyone can be a witch, no matter who they - they are just have to accept it.
What religions exactly are "closed"?
Bear in mind this is a rough list, and not all of these are closed completely, but do have sometimes extensive initiation requirements and/or require being taught by a full fledged member of that religionās community.
Voudou
Santeria
certain sects of Hinduism
Mayan
AztecĀ
various Chinese folk traditions and/or religions
Shintoism (certain sects though itās been heavily debated that all should be closed to outsiders)
Korean folk religion
various African theologies
Native American and First Nation spiritualities (which is a broad field and not homogenous)
Pacific Island (various traditions, for example Hawaiian faith is off limits entirely)
Indigenous Australian
nearly all oppressed indigenous religions
Yazidi (so very closed, donāt even dare with Melek Taus)
Abrahamic faiths (Islam, Judaism, Christianity, Druze, etc) have sects with various degrees of initiation requirements
Zoroastrianism
Indigenous Peruvian/Quechua religion
Stregheria and Stregoneria
Rastafarian
Shamanism (Siberian and other traditions)
Some indigenous Caucasian religions are closed off to foreigners and have initiations (places like Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia have closed indigenous religions for safety. If you are of the ethnicity you are allowed to study and initiate you do not have to live in the area unless they say so).Ā
Boost!
Reblogging again because this is important to know
My question is then do you have to be born into these religions or fully convert/dedicate yourself to them?
Some you have to be born into, others may be okay to outsiders fully converting and initiating themselves into the practice
donāt let other witches on tumblr shame you for enjoying the aesthetics of witchcraft! and definitely donāt let anyone tell you that you arenāt a real witch if all you reblog are witchy aesthetic posts, either
i find that the aesthetic posts i reblog are as valuable to me as spell and resource posts - being an incredibly visual person means that images spur my imagination and motivation. i cultivate my tumblr for the purpose of personal inspiration and it always works. this tumblr is as much of a personal tool as my altar, and it is no less valid because of all the pretty pictures.
I wouldnāt have discovered the witchy community here (which led to me finally pursuing witchcraft) if it werenāt for aesthetic posts!
Grounding Yourself
GROUNDING YOURSELF
This is very, VERY important, especially if you are considering doing Astral Travel or any sort of out of body travelling. This, well, to be put simply, grounds you to the earth.
What you can do to ground yourself is rather simple. This is different for every person so I will list a few things that you could do.
METHOD 1: Imagine you are sitting in a forest/park/by a river/etc, somewhere nature related and relax. If youāre not relaxed, this may end up being uncomfortable or it may not work in general. Now, imagine that youāre a tree sprout and youāre rooting yourself in the earth. Imagine yourself growing tall and deeply rooted into the earth. After that, imagine that you turn into the roots and the tree slowly disappears. AFter that, you should be done. IF you do not feel secure or like youre actually rooted then you may need to try again.
METHOD 2: relax and concentrate. Now, this is slightly similar to Method 1, but I find it helpful. Youāre sitting wherever you please and your body is starting to become one with the earth. You are in the earth and one with it, imagine yourself with the roots and with everything around. Once you feel secure or firmly grounded, youāre good.
There are many other things that you could do for grounding, but these are the two methods that I generally use and have seen in the community. If you do have any ideas or methods that you have used, please feel free to message me ^_^ I am always open to new ideas!
Best of luck to you all!

Once an artist creates a work, they own the copyright
None of thisĀ āI paid for the art. It is mine.ā bullshit, unless the artist actually sells you the copyright (something which has to be stated and never assumed, and something you would have to pay extra for) you can not claim ownership over the piece, even if you paid for it.
And yes, this means you can not alter the work in any way, you can not use it for banners/advertisements/etc., you can not print it, you can not sell copiesĀ unless agreed upon with the artist
and artists are also protected under moral rights
meaning that the artist has the right of attribution (the right to be identified and named as the creator of their work), the right against false attribution, and the right of integrity. (Source)
so fuck off with your āI paid for the art. It is mine.ā crap, it doesnāt stick legally

If you have trouble visualising your energy work, utilising images from witchy pop culture may help
Loving the additions!
Huh. Wondered if other people did this. Always used this as inspiration for charging objects/crystals. Minus the adorably dopey smile.
This is turning into such a neat post!
The Four Elements
Fire, earth, air and water are fundamental energies that operate in the physical world. They are the building blocks of life. Rocks and soil, wind, the sun, lakes and streams. These are examples of the physical form in which we see the elements. Equally, if not more important are the vibrational qualities of these four elements.
Sights, sounds, smells, tastes, textures ā pretty much everything ā can be grouped into one of the elemental categories. When you begin to understand these connections you can learn to draw upon these elements to produce the results you desire. Part of your development as a witch involves using these elements to your advantage. You may use them singularly or combine two or more elements to create balance. Each element has its own properties, and itās up to you to decide how to use them.

Simple Tricks for Cleansing Your Room
Smoke Cleansing: Formerly referred to as āsmudgingā (but should not be because that term referred to a specific Native American tradition and should not be appropriated) smoke cleansing is the most widely known form of home cleansing. One should take a bundle of driedĀ sage or cedar and let it on fire until it is lit. Then, walk around the effected room or building spreading the smoke emanating from the bundle until the smoke has sufficiently permeated the air.
Saltwater Cleanse: A simple and effective form of cleansing in a pinch. Mix 1 part salt to 6 parts water (1:6 because the number 6 is considered to be āThe Caretakerā in Numerology). This can be mixed in a bowl, cup, or even in a spray bottle for easy use. Spray/flick the saltwater in all of the corners of the room/house that you want to cleanse. It can also help to repeat a relevant chant or prayer while moving throughout the area.
Van Van Oil Home Cleansing: Wash down all of the wood work in and outside of the house with Van Van Oil mixed in water (also known as Chinese Wash). When you are finished, throw the remaining wash out the front door, facing East. Finish off by sweeping the house back to front with a brand new broom.
Herbal Cleansing Bottle: Get a large bottle. First, put in a sturdy sand bottom layer. Then, add in the following herbs in this order, one of top of the other; Rosemary, lemon peel, sage, cedar, black peppercorns, lavender, dill, bay leaf, and rowan. When the bottle is full, visualize your energy going into it. You should notice a slight yellow/golden glow when it is charged. Seal it fully and inscribe a pentagram or sigil of your choice on the bottle. Set it by a window and uncap and recharge every 6 months.
Home Purification Burn: Make your own incense out of dried Pine needles, Juniper, and Ceder (1 tbs of each). Grind ingredients togetherĀ and burn them while reciting a chosen chant or prayer.
Candle and Salt Cleanse: Get a white candle and some salt. Put the candle in the center of the room that needs cleansing. Pour the salt in a circle around the candle and let it burn until it goes out.
