( October 2023) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) The basic witch might very well be on a journey to become a more socially conscious kind of witch. Or not. Instead of shaming basic witches the way we once scorned basic bitches, we should hold them accountable when their consumerism slips into exploitation, then take time to reflect on our own seemingly basic behaviors.

A storm witch generally casts spells based on the weather rather than based on the moon and needs a whole lot of chaotic energy to pour into a spell. This is a pretty strong type of witchcraft!The city witch thrives on chaotic city energy, on being around groups of people, and even on the individual energy of the city itself. A chaos witch quite literally draws power from chaos. These are the types of witches to perform emotional, tumultuous magic. Their spells are fueled by energy that clashes.

A cosmic witch is all about the sky. They will look to astrology, astronomy, and the stars and moon in general. They tend to incorporate energy from the stars in their practice and may especially like to study past life astrology. Semple, Sarah (June 1998). "A fear of the past: The place of the prehistoric burial mound in the ideology of middle and later Anglo‐Saxon England". World Archaeology. 30 (1): 109–126. doi: 10.1080/00438243.1998.9980400.

For example, many Faery witches are also Hedge witches, Green witches, etc. The main distinguisher is that a Faery witch works specifically with the Fae during at least some of their spells.

The hallmark of the hedge witch is that they perform small, day-to-day domestic actions that make life easier for both them and others. They often focus quite a bit on the hearth and home and tend to partner with animals. Here are the 23 different types of witchcraft that pagans practice, complete with descriptions about their magical preferences and how they raise energy. Green witches are also called garden witches or forest witches. They are very connected to the earth and draw their magic from the natural world and specifically from earthly elements.

The eclectic witch encompasses all different types of witches and types of witchcraft. It is basically a little of everything! Witchcraft isn’t just fun and games; perks like hexes and love spells can come with a price. The infamous Salem witch trials may seem far in the past, but the persecution of witches (or those suspected of witchcraft) continues today. Despite the mainstream’s growing fascination, the past few years have also seen, for example, a whopping 900 percent rise in (at times lethal) child-abuse cases linked to suspicion of witchcraft and demonic possession in the U.K. There are, of course, methods of protection, like carrying an evil eye. The easiest one, however, is to simply not go around shouting about your newfound identity. Choose your path.

A sea witch has a strong connection to water and to the ocean. Some sea witches are particular to the ocean and to salt water, while others feel a connection to all bodies of water. A secular witch can certainly be spiritual in his/her own time, but their witchcraft specifically works with energy that is unnamed and that doesn’t have a personality. Other than this one distinction, secular witches can and do incorporate almost every other element of witchcraft into the practice. These easy spells are important because they will help you feel comfortable with the practice of spellcasting in the beginning of your path as a Witch. If they don’t work right away, this is completely normal. As you gain experience you will be more and more confident on your own Powers, and your spells will be more successful. The urban witch/city witch finds ways to perform spells in small spaces and uses energy more so than herbs or a huge amount of tools.
