Misconceptions For Beginner Witches (A Debunking)

Misconceptions for Beginner Witches (A debunking)

Yo! It’s that time where I should be productive again. This time I’m specifically talking to the beginner or “baby” witches. Hi there, friend, how you doing? This is the equivalent of your cool disaster drunk aunt or cousin in the witch community. Today, I’m gonna tell you about things you shouldn’t feel guilt and/or FOMO about in your witchcraft journey. These are just some things I’ve observed myself or had some guilt/fomo about myself.

Meditating “correctly” - Bud… There’s no one template for mediation. You’re opening yourself. There’s a ton of ways to do that and a lot of us have issues with attention. You’re doing fine. Just acknowledge your random thoughts and push them away for later. Keep trying.

Misconceptions For Beginner Witches (A Debunking)

Tools needed for “proper” witchcraft- Nah. Magic does not care about your finances. It’s all about that intent. If some witch is flanting about how any witch worth their salt needs ___; they may just be salty they spent a small fortune on some rocks for not much. Chances are, they’re a gatekeeping asshole and you don’t need that. Intent and creativity is free. You can make a wand out of anything and you can definitely make anything a tool for your craft.

Every witch needs a deity- that’s… seriously not true. Witches don’t have to have a deity/guide. You shouldn’t have to force a relationship with a deity/spirit/religion. Your craft is yours. If you don’t feel any deity calling…they might not be. And that’s okay. You’re not less of a witch for not having an entity. I know I was like that for a while before Apollo pretty much crossed his arms like “Am I a joke to you?”. I wanted a new guide/deity so bad and I didn’t work on myself. Perhaps you don’t get a deity/entity for now. Maybe that’s not part of your journey. Maybe it’ll never be. Maybe you’ll work with multiple entities on a one time exchange thing (yes, that happens and it’s perfectly fine, it’s like a magical business deal). It is all okay. Whatever your path may be, it does not have to have a deity in it. So don’t jump in a relationship with one cause they’ll be just as confused sometimes.

A little controversial; but you have to renounce Christianity- I was raised Christian and I left it myself, do you have to do it? No, no you don’t. I’ve seen some discourse on Christian witches and I have a very religious family, so I admit I’ve got a small bias on this topic. I’ve just decided to treat Christian witches the same way I treat LGBTQ+ Christians…I commend you for willingingly being in a community that seriously doesn’t seem to like y’all. To each their own, have a good life. It’s none of my fucking business anyway.

Everyone needs to follow the Threefold laws- I remember someone tried to get me to do that and the moment I told them I wasn’t Wiccan, they were stumped. No, you don’t have to follow the Threefold laws. You’ll be fine if you don’t. Promise. If you want to follow it, do so. But only if you wish to. Edit: I literally fucking forgot Wiccans existed like the WHOLE time I wrote and adjusted this so…yeah. My bad. Threefold is mainly a Wiccan thing. Not Pagan. Got corrected. They were right.

Stick to a path- Eclectic and Chaos witches exist. They are living negation of that idea.

All witches must be in a coven- No they don’t. Solitary Witches exist and are perfectly fine. Perfect example: Moi. Also: those who choose to be solitary can visit a coven and hang with them for a moment if the coven and the solo witch agree. Perhaps someone needs help or a second opinion or something. Collaboration is a thing. And it’s perfectly fine. A friend of mine started a coven, I’m allowed to chill and hang with the coven any time, but we both know I’m not a part of her coven and I doubt I will be.

It’s always about the craft- No. Just no. You don’t have to be a witch all the time and its more than okay to take a break, however long you need. Witchcraft can be exhausting. More important things can be happening. You’re not a failure of a witch if you’re not a witch every second of your life. Be you.

Well, that’s enough of that. Beginner witches, I hope you are a little more at ease or you have some concerns addressed if not…welp. Maybe next time. Anyway, be good and love yourself~
