What Type of Witch Are You? Here’s How to Tell

People everywhere are getting in touch with their witchy side! And contrary to popular belief, there are more than two sides to this coin. Read on to find out what kind of witch you can be!

10. Solitary Witch

For some witches, their spirituality is very personal. They practice their craft on their own. If this sounds like you, you may be a solitary witch. Solitary witches may follow a certain path or practice, or they may have their own personalized belief system.

9. Coven Witch

Maybe you are the type of witch who craves community and prefers ritualistic ceremonies. If that’s the case then you may want to be part of a coven. In a coven, the members combine their magickal energies to manifest greater results for the group. 

8. Wiccan Witch

You may have heard the words “Wiccan” and “witch” used interchangeably, so this classification may sound redundant. But not all witches are Wiccan. Wiccan witches follow a neopagan religion known as Wicca. You can practice Wicca as a solitary witch, or you can be part of a coven. Wiccan coven members must train and go through initiation. 

7. Kitchen Witch

Do you love to cook? Is cooking more than just a mundane task for you? Do you strive to make your home a sacred safe space? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be a Kitchen witch. Kitchen witches use foods, tea, herbs, and oils as their mediums that they combine with their own intentions and magickal energies. When you eat dinner at a Kitchen witch’s house, you can guarantee that the meal will be made with love and magick.

6. Elemental Witch

Elemental witches could also be called Green witches or Nature witches. These witches work closely with earth, air, fire, and water. They also work with the seasons and the weather. Many Elemental witches are connected and work closely with one particular natural element. Some Elemental witches work closely with fire. While others prefer the sea or storms.

5. Crystal Witch

Do you have a crystal or rock collection? If so, then you may be a Crystal witch. Crystal witches know that their sparkly and colorful stones are more than just rocks. They know that each crystal has a certain property and vibration.  Crystal witches feel connected to these vibrations and use their stones to manifest certain energies and outcomes.

4. Cosmic Witch

Are you an Astro girlie? Do you have your birth chart memorized? Do you have all of your friend’s birth charts memorized? Then you are already on your way to becoming a Cosmic witch. Cosmic witches are sometimes called lunar witches or star witches. Cosmic witches analyze birth charts and tailor their rituals to the position of the stars and the placement and phase of the moon. These are the witches who always remember to leave their moon water out under a full moon. 

3. Traditional Witch

Eclectic witches are similar to solitary witches in that their practice is completely personalized. These witches value spiritual freedom above all else. They curate their belief system by observing an array of practices that are spiritually significant to them. They may practice divination, Shamanism, mediumship, etc. I will advise baby witches to be mindful of closed practices.

Hedge witches may practice the most fascinating type of magick. Their brand of witchcraft is the metaphysical practice of crossing the barrier between the physical world and the spiritual world. These witches may put themselves in a trance-like meditation in order to travel beyond the barrier. They also work with nature and the elements.
