21 types of witches

-

There are actually countless types of witches. I'm just going to go over 21 of them because I feel these are the most common types. While looking over this list keep in mind there is some overlap between some types and you may fit into more than one type of witch which is totally fine. 

Why do types of witches matter?

Knowing what type of witch you are, helps you to decide where to focus, what to research, and where your path may lead you. You don't need to fit into one type or another, but with so many different practices and styles, it helps to have an idea of where you land. 

Green Witch

Can also be called garden or forest witches. They are similar to cottage witches and kitchen witches but they focus more on the earth and nature. They recharge by reconnecting with nature. a preferred method of grounding would be to walk barefoot and feel the earth beneath their feet. Some green witches work with nature spirits or the fae. 

Hedge Witch

Generally, they practice alone, meaning without a coven. They tend to seem like a traditional medicine man/woman. They focus on the home and have been known to partner with animals. The word "hedge" refers to the boundary between this world and the spirit world. Hedge witches are known to travel between worlds while practicing. They focus on spirit magic and the natural world. 

Kitchen Witch

Also known as a hearth witch. They practice in the kitchen mostly, with herbs, spices, cooking, baking, potions, and recipes. Their power comes from the process of cooking or baking and all that goes into it. They tend to be capable of healing through food or tea blends.

Cottage Witch

The main focus is practicing in and about the home. Their whole home is a sacred space. In the past, they were the witches who practiced underground, in their homes without anyone knowing while everyone else practiced organized religion. 

Faery Witch

Also known as a Fae witch or Fairy witch. They work with the fae in at least some of their practices and spells. They tend to be fairly eclectic and work with nature spirits, woodland creatures, and trees. They mainly practice in the woods.

Fire Witch

Draw their power from fire. Practices with things like candles, burning herbs, bonfires, and anything else with an open flame.

Divination Witch

Tends to focus on divination practices mostly such as tarot, pendulums, runes, scrying, astrology, and meditation. They tend to consult spirit guides before doing any workings. They incorporate divination methods into their spells.

Solar Witch

Draws power from the sunlight. Charges tools in the sunlight instead of the moonlight. Often dress in warmer colors and enjoy sunbathing. They feel the need to get at least a few minutes of sun every day even if it's through a window because it's too cold out. 

Storm Witch

Draws energy from storms and chaotic weather. Will generally time spells based on the weather rather than the moon phases or days of the week. 

Swamp Witch

Often practices alone and feels out of place among most people. Don't totally agree with social norms or "get" society as a whole. Uses healing elements of nature.

Lunar Witch

Works with the subconscious, emotions, water, and powerful deep magic. Draws power from the moon and is very in tune with the phases of the moon. Always know what phase the moon is in as well as what astrological sign. Power and emotions tend to follow the moon's cycle. 

Sea Witch

Has a strong connection to the ocean and water. Uses ocean water, sand, shells, driftwood, and seaweed in their practices.

Hereditary Witch

Believes witchcraft is a gift passed down through generations. Must have ancestors who were witches. They harness their power from their ancestor's spirits.

Cosmic Witch

Harnesses energy from planets and stars in their magic. Into astrology and astronomy.

Chaos Witch

Chaos Witches are often quite misunderstood. They will try any method for a magical working and tend to use not only traditional deities but pop culture figures as well. There’s much more to them but that’s the basics.

Ceremonial Witch

Also called a traditional witch. Focuses on rituals and draws power from the process of a ceremony. Likely to be in a coven.

City Witch

Also called an urban witch. Draws power from the city itself. Performs spells in small spaces and often uses energy more than tools and herbs.

  When you may need this list.... We don't believe in the three-fold law, nor do we subscribe to the strictly love & light belief... That being said, sometimes a person will come into your life and cause so much damage you feel the need to give them some sort of payback in one way or another. That's when you may turn to casting a curse or hex on them. While we don't want to go around cursing people for every little slight against us, some people do absolutely have it coming. If you come across one of these people in your life, you may want to use this list to give karma a little push in the right direction. We hope to not actually need a list like this in life but it's better to be prepared if the time does come. Always include a taglock to tie the spell to your intended target . Taglocks include  Bodily fluids from the target,  Finger or toenails from the target,  The target's Hair,  A photo of the target,  Personal items of the target's,  Poppet to represe

If you need a guide on how to create your own sigils, check out this post for all the details!

What is a sigil? Sigils are symbols created to represent a word or phrase. They fall under "chaos magic" which encourages its practitioners to experiment and try new things. This is why you'll find so many methods for creating sigils. There is one strict rule to creating sigils, You must activate it. Other than that, it just has to feel right to you, the method, the phrase, the outcome, as long as it feels right to you it's the right way to do it. I'm sharing one method in this post but you can experiment with other methods as well or even take steps from different methods and create your own method. It's your practice, do things your way.
