  • Different Types of Witches

    Here is a list of different types of Witches that you may come accross.  Please note that these descriptions are my thoughts and you may add a comment if you wish.

    Hedgewitches

    We follow a more nature based path and our rituals are often less formal tahn those of the Gardnerians or Alexandrians.  Our magic is often strongly connected with the use of herbs and plants and more often than not takes place in the open or in a kitchen.

    Gardnerians

    This is the tradition taught by Gerald Gardner and his initiates, largely as it was passed on from his original coven.  It does include a lot of formalised rituals.  To become a Gardnerian Witch you ahve to be initiated by a Gardnerian or by one who is recognised by Gardnerian Witches.

    Alexandrians

    Less formalised than Gardnerians.  Its rituals can be adapted to suit people in many circumstances and it is a more open and free form religion.

    Hereditaries

    Hereditary Wicthes are those whose craft is passed down through their family.

    Traditionals

    These Witches are those whose learning and practice cannot be easily traced through either family or coven practice.  Many people say that they are re-incarnated Witches.

    Solitaries

    A term for those who worship or practice alone.

  • My Life

    Why is it that when you tell people you are a Witch they always ask you if you can do spells.

    My religion isn't like that, I am a Hedgewitch.

    What is a Hedgewitch?

    Well my view on it is that it is a person that celebrates nature and tries to live their life respecting and nurturing the area around them. For me it means that I respect the earth and try to live my life by not abusing what we have been given. I'm not one of those people who shoves their religion down people's throat but then again I am also not someone who is afraid to tell people what I beleive.

    I have recently received emails stating that I have sold my soul to the devil and that I will go to hell. Do these people realise what they are saying, that these things can hurt and upset people. It annoys me that these people are happy enough to tell me these things but they don't know anything about my religion and beliefs.

    So the aim of my Blog is to educate people about Witchcraft and hopefully change peoples perspective of this religion.
