Eclectic Wicca: A Guide for the Modern Witch (Eclectic Witch, Book on Witchcraft)

Product Information

A storm witch generally casts spells based on the weather rather than based on the moon and needs a whole lot of chaotic energy to pour into a spell. This is a pretty strong type of witchcraft!

Chaos witches often perform magic with intense music, during storms, after a fight with a friend or significant other, or even when they’re feeling a bit crazy emotionally. These witches can also perform powerful spells after a chaotic event in the world occurs. They probably don’t mind using energy to cast hexes and jinxes. You can be a swamp witch and work well in marshy areas, too, not only the swamps of the mid-southern US. Here in New England, we definitely have a swampy vibe in the marsh. 13.

Other than this one distinction, secular witches can and do incorporate almost every other element of witchcraft into the practice. Luciferian: those magical practitioners who invoke and worship Lucifer, who is revered as the bringer of light and the morning star Some cosmic witches are starseeds and integrate practices from their home planet into the craft.

Left-Hand PathDivination: a witch specialising in divination, such as tarot cards, scrying, or other such means of discovering occult and hidden information Within Wicca there is much variety of emphasis on the factors I have mentioned. But the strength of Wicca is its flexibility. Rigid dogma, conformism, and monolithic organization are foreign to its spirit. The basic unit of Wicca is not any particular sect, but the individual coven and the people who compose it. Each coven has its own way, its own character, its own emphasis—and its own contribution. The mine of tradition is so rich that each coven can work its own seam. These witches are very powerful as long as they’re performing spells that feel right intuitively and don’t get in over their heads. Chaotic energy is simply strong energy, but chaos witchcraft needs to be performed and harnessed in a specific manner.
