Secular VS Religious: This one is pretty self-explanatory. The majority of the time being a witch does not affect the religion that you practice. If you do not feel like religion is in your path, then you do not have to use religion in your practice. You can be religious and have your practice separate, making your practice completely secular.

Solitary VS Coven: You can choose to be a solitary witch and practice on your own. Alternatively, other witches can belong to a group called a coven. Covens tend to practice together and use their combined energies to complete workings and spells.

Air/Fire/Earth/Water Witch: These witches feel very attached to their element and use this element in thier practice. They can be associated to this element through their zodiac sign or just through energetic connection. They tend to use their chosen element in a lot of their workings through multiple methods and sometimes work with deities associated to their chosen element.

Cosmic Witch: A cosmic witch works mainly with planetary and cosmic energy. They use astrology and the moon cycles in their practice.

Crystal Witch: Crystals are commonly used in this witch's practice and they use the energies from the crystals in their practice. Their practice ranges from crystal therapies to charms, to charging the crystals in their chosen method (e.g. sunlight or moonlight).

Draconic Witch: This is one that I find extremely interesting myself and I am currently researching at this moment in time. These witches work with draconic spirits in their practice. Draconian magick is, by definition, magick that is fuelled by the symbolism and energies of Dragons.

Earth Witch: An earth with is very deeply connected to the earth element; they use a lot of nature in their workings, work with earth deities, and most likely will use things that they have collected from nature within their workings. They tend to be very centered individuals and if they develop their practice they move very naturally between the natural world and day to day world.

Eclectic Witch: Eclectic witches tend to pick aspects of different paths/traditions and use these to form their own unique practice. Because of this, no eclectic witch's path will look the same.

Elemental Witch: Elemental witches work with all four elements and sometimes fifth, they consider the spirit element and use all of those throughout all of their workings. They are not more associated witch any specific element as they use all of them.

Faery Witch: These witches work with the Fae. They leave offerings for the Fae, set up altars for the Fae, and the fae help them in their magical workings.

Gardnerian Witch: Gardnerian witches follow a sect of wicca. The Gardnerian religion was set up by Gerald Gardner and is a closed religion.

Green witch: Green Witches work very closely to nature through working with herbs, tree spirits of any nature gods/goddesses. It is possible to be a green witch in a city - you just need to find the right environmental spaces for your practice.

Hearth Witch: Generally a combination of green witchcraft and kitchen witchcraft, these witches are sometimes referred to as cottage witches. This witchcraft surrounds the home and hearth of the people within it. Their practice tends to be only done for the home using things around their home and for the people in their home.

Hedge Witch: I find this type of witchcraft very interesting as these witches walk the hedge between the spiritual world and the real world. This is a very traditional folklore type of witch.

Hereditary Witch: These witches have family members that are also witches who have passed down their craft through their lineage. This does not just mean being born into a witch family. They can also have spells/rituals/grimoires etc that have been handed down through the family.

Kitchen Witch: Kitchen witches do a lot of witchcraft (as you probably guessed) in the kitchen. They use a lot of ingredients and spells in their cooking to serve to people in their home. They also can use their food to bless the people that eat this through different herbs/ingredients and intentions.

Lunar/Solar witch: Lunar witches are deeply connected to the moon and lunar cycles. They can include things like the tides and the moon cycles in their workings. They tend to feel very energised by the moon. Solar witches however are deeply connected to the sun and like to use the sun in almost all of their workings.

Pop Culture Witch: This witchcraft is relatively new from what I can gather. They use pop-culture in their witchcraft. For example, using incantations or sigils found in movies/tv shows.

Sea Witch: Sea witches are closely connected to the ocean and currents. Different witches can be associated with different bodies of water (e.g. river witchcraft/lake witchcraft). Sea witches generally live close to the sea and have a particular ocean that calls to them. They tend to collect ocean water, seaweed, seashells, etc and use these in their workings.

Seasonal Witch: Seasonal witches do their workings and practice in correlation with any season. They can be tied to a specific season if they choose to do so. For example, spring witches would use a lot of blooming flowers and rain water in their workings.

Sigil Witch: A sigil is a symbol that you can draw on things. There is a lot of intention behind this and you do usually have to make these in a particular way through putting thought and effort behind this.

Storm Witch: This is very self explanatory. These witches use storm energy in their practice and workings. I am currently researching this practice and will most likely post more about this in the future.

Tech Witch: This is a very modern form of witchcraft that involves modern technology. For example, using apps to track different parts of your practice.
