hi, i've started looking into traditional witchcraft and folk magic and i'm wondering how to go about separating the new age influences from witchcraft while doing my research. in that same vein, are there some popular/common new age concepts within the witchcraft community to watch out for (crystals being the most immediate thing to come to mind), bc new age is rly not my thing
Perhaps think about why you want to separate yourself from the ‘new age’ first. Crystals are not new age, precious stones have been used in magic for thousands of years. The so-called traditions of Western magic and witchcraft are continually evolving and changing. There is no ‘golden age’ of traditional witchcraft. The desire for the authentic can lead us to discard what actually works.
If you want to learn the old stuff - do your own research. Do not rely on books labelled and marketed as ‘traditional witchcraft.’ I don’t believe in a unified system of initiatory witchcraft pre-dating the 19th century. I see more evidence for a bunch of individual practitioners buying cheap grimoires and making it up as they go along. Don’t worry about being authentic, be effective.

Folklore vs. Superstition - Unlucky Flowers
Anyone who has studied the folklore of British plants will be familiar with frequent prohibitions against bringing certain plants and flowers inside. This belief is so prevalent that in the 1980s the Folklore Society conducted a ‘Survey of Unlucky Plants.’
Approaching this from a witch’s perspective, it serves as a good example of the difference between useful folklore and superstition. Although folklore is a cornerstone of my practice, if I were to obey every prohibition against bringing these plants indoors, I’d be forced to do half my work outside (in the rain most likely.)
As a witch, I acknowledge that certain plants are considered unlucky, even deadly, to bring inside - but I am then curious as to why. Some are obviously poisonous, like the Yew, or associated with death and funerals, like the Lily. Others have Saturnian properties, as does Ivy, or are linked to the fairies, like Hawthorne and Bluebells. Given these associations, the taboos begin to make sense - at least for those who fear death, bad luck and the Good People.
However, if one does not fear these powers, knows ways in which to protect oneself from them and perhaps even works directly with them, then perhaps the prohibitions are less significant. By working closely with the plants themselves, developing a reciprocal relationship and becoming allies, I see no reason to fear them. I also feel there is a difference between growing and nurturing a plant on the windowsill, and hastily ripping up a bunch of flowers from a nearby woodland (where you also run the risk of offending the genius loci.)
In summary, while I wouldn’t bring a bunch of snowdrops to the bedside of an ill friend, I feel it is important to treat tradition with respect but be ready question and adapt it as necessary.

Can you please help a fellow Aussie witch out? A book I'm reading is talking about the celtic moon months (Birch, Elder, Reed etc.) and their associations with the seasons. Since we're in the southern hemisphere should I shift the names forward 6 months (eg. The birch moon falling in june/july rather than december/january) so that they make sense to me and the current season, or is it better to keep things as they were? Thanks in advance :)
Disclaimer: I don’t personally work with a system like this.
That said, I know a lot of Aussie witches (and Southern Hemisphere witches in general) often invert things like the Wheel of the Year, so that Yule actually falls in our winter instead of blistering heat. With that in mind, it makes sense to do the same for a Celtic system of full moons. However, that system likely works with trees that are native to European lands. Correct me if I’m wrong, but you’re not likely to find birch and elder and oak in the Aussie bushland. You may find it hard to personally connect to the properties of trees that you’ve never seen or interacted with. A good project might be to research native Australian trees and any magical correspondences they have, and see if you can connect those with the different Australian seasons.
Elder, Oak and Birch are found in Australia as well as a lot of other native european trees (introduced) so you can change the seasons to that of the southern hemisphere. I live in the south east and collect and see these trees a lot. Often we have european plants that grow wild here and have become pests.
Very true, but they’re not native to our home, which is what I was getting at.
If the original querent is referring to the ‘celtic tree calendar’ - it was invented by Robert Graves in the mid 20th century, by assigning ogham letters to the months, so I see no reason you couldn’t invent your own based on local trees.
(The ‘celtic tree calendar’ often gets mixed up with the ‘Native American moon names’ popularised by farmer’s almanacs in the first half of the 20th century.)
