Types of Witches and what they focus on

There are various people out there who identify as witches. While these practitioners use some of the same universal techniques such as spell work, manifestation, meditation, etc. not many know of what types of witches they truly align themselves to. There are many types of witches, from green witches who do their work in greenery and gardens, to lunar witches who use their practice to focus on the moon and follow along its phases.

In this blog, I will be sharing some information about the types of witches that exist. I may not be able to list them all, but this will hopefully encourage you to curiosity and perhaps look more closely and research for yourself.

When people start dipping their toes into witchcraft, one of the first questions that inevitably pops up is: “What kind of magic do you practice? White magic? Black magic? Gray magic?”

It’s a question that reveals just how deep the roots of Christianized frameworks still run in our conversations about magic. These neat little labels — black, white, gray — may seem useful at first glance, but their history is tangled with colonialism, patriarchal control, and the demonization of indigenous and folk traditions. And frankly? They’re overdue for retirement.

Let’s dive into where these terms came from, how they evolved, why they still show up in modern magical communities, and why many witches (myself included) have stepped away from them entirely.
