Modern witchcraft is a fascinating phenomenon
It’s fascinating the way modern witchcraft is this giant amalgam of old and new traditions. Like, we have witches who are getting super into crystals and Buddhist meditation. Witches who keep their BOS online and do things like make sigils under their nail polish. Witches who embrace ancient shamanistic practices of earth worship and animism, and witches who use modern technology to work their magick. Witches who worship Frida Kahlo. Witches who worship the most primordial earth goddesses. Witches who worship no one.
We’re quickly approaching a new era (the Fourth Turning, as some describe it), and our renewed interest in magick, spiritual fulfillment, and the spirit world reflects that. The old ways of magick-working still run through our veins, calling us back to a time when we heeded our inner magick and the world of spirits all around us. And our unique expressions of witchcraft perfectly sum up how diverse and pervasive this desire to connect with our inner power is.
Witchcraft isn’t “fake” if it incorporates new elements from all across cultures. Witchcraft evolves and changes with the human race. As we grow, so does our craft. Keep on being yourself and shaping your craft based on what YOU feel is powerful and awe-inspiring.
Don’t ever feel stupid or “not good enough” if you don’t have a classically Wiccan or otherwise old-timey craft. We are all evolving together. Let your inner power shine!
