Other Witches and You
There are many other witches in the world, and no two witches’ crafts are exactly alike. Here are some common themes/traditions that you can choose whether or not to incorporate into your craft
📚 threefold law/wiccan rede - a lot of people don’t realize that if you’re not wiccan, you don’t have to follow this. some non-wiccans do follow it. it’s a nice philosophy, to not harm anyone, but like every philosophy, it is not a mandatory way of thinking
💣 don’t curse - goes in hand with the rede, some witches are very adamant about not cursing. and that is their choice! but they don’t get a say in whether or not you get to curse, or whether or not you should. you have your reasons, and they have theirs.
🚫 initiation only - if you choose to go through one, all the power to you. initiation can really help some witches become confident in their abilities, and others feel they are a witch from day one. however, no one can tell you you’re not a true witch because you’re not initiated in any traditions
📖 tutored - a traditionalist notion among some witches is that being an apprentice to another witch with more experience than you is necessary. it can be cool to have a mentor, but there are mentors that abuse that power. a mentor can only teach you the craft as they have perceived it, and you are welcome to learn it that way, but know if you don’t want a mentor you can become a witch by teaching yourself, as many do
💖 love and light - a lot of witches say this constantly, and it can get a bit awkward if you didn’t turn to witchcraft for those reasons. witchcraft can be about good things and positivity, but it can also be about revenge, curses, and protecting oneself. both are valid approaches to witchcraft
👥 have to be in a coven - though it’s not as common as it used to be, being a solitary witch was once a built it community of witches can be a great thing to have, but it isn’t for everyone.
🎋 must cleanse/ground/cast a circle for every spell - though you may use a spell someone else wrote, casting circles and constant cleansing and grounding isn’t necessary for every witch. some witches it must be done, but others it’s just something you might do
😃 emoji spells - no one is forcing you to use them, you don’t have to if you don’t think they actually work. but if they work for you, use them all you want! if you can find the magic in something unconventional and new, all the power to you.
🍃 naturalist - the typical idea of witchcraft is that it involves old, natural things. some people choose to only use natural things in their craft because they like the connection to nature, or don’t feel that synthetic objects fit into witchcraft.
💡 synthetic - some witches, particularly tech witches, incorporate a lot of modern technology. some have a hard time finding the magic in a plastic object. it really depends on you and whether or not you can see things as magical that have not traditionally been interpreted as such or just haven’t been around long enough to feel like legitimate magic
⛪religion - it can be hard to comprehend where the power behind a spell is if a god hasn’t blessed it for some witches. but if you don’t feel connected to a god, or aren’t uplifted by your religion, you don’t need to force yourself to find one. witchcraft it plenty powerful without religion.
what you CANT pick and choose:
smudging
karma/chakras
spirit animals
voodoo/Santeria
general cultural appropriative stuff
stuff from closed cultures
remember! your craft if yours, his craft is his, her craft is hers, their craft is theirs. none of them have to follow any of the other’s traditions, and no one should force or pressure someone else into incorporating certain aspects in their
if anyone ever tells you, “you MUST do it this way” take a moment and figure out if it agrees with your path or not.

I've felt like this as well. Actually, still am. But the only reason I'm not in a coven is because there isn't one in my area 😓
Don’t know if anyone can relate, but as a witch who loves socializing within the community and connecting deeply with other witches, the thought of dedicating myself to a coven has crossed my mind several times.
This is, of course, a reflection of an insecurity in belonging that I need to meditate and work through. However, the innate desire to be part of a community is so human that I almost can’t blame myself for having this thought often.
With that said, a coven is a huge responsibility. Is anyone in a coven currently (if you cannot share that’s perfectly fine) and if you are or are not, what is your reasoning for it? Do you think covens are more a thing of the past? Are you acquainted with a community of witches near you? Have you felt this feeling recently too?

Some more stuff I drew a while ago. My take on the combos of different TOH covens with the abomination coven. I'm thinking of maybe doing more combos when I have time. Also maybe redoing the abomination x healing. Anyways. Art tips are more than welcome.
