Emporiblog - Which Witch Are You? Pt II

-
Hello all! Part 2 of our Which Witch series is.... Element Witches!! View Part 1 here 👉🏻 Which Witch Are You? pt I



Water Witch

A Water Witch draws their power from Water or something that represents Water. This can be:

- Tap water
- Bottled water
- Lakes
- Ponds
- Streams 
- Rivers
- Oceans
- Rain
- Showers/Baths
- Waterfalls

Or any body of Water that they have access too. Of course, a Water Witch can also specialise in specific Water magic such as being a:

- Lake Witch
- River Witch
- Rain Witch/Storm Witch
- Ocean/Sea Witch (covered in pt I)
- Swamp Witch (I will do a separate post!)

You get the idea, you can specialise with any kind of Water or just use the blanket term if you feel more comfortable with that. It's not uncommon for a Water Witch to carry Water with them or at least have it within reach, whether it's a water bottle or a mini jar or to have receptacles on hand to collect Water. Water can be both calm and powerful so be careful how you use these powers. If you're drawn to Water or feel more powerful in, around or in the presence of Water, the Water Witch path might be the one for you. For further reading 👇🏻



Fire Witch

Fire Witches draw their power from a flame or something that represents Fire. They can draw power from:

- The Sun
- Candles
- Hearths/Fireplaces (Hearth Witchcraft covered in pt I)
- Lighters
- Incense
- An actual Fire
- Coal
- Flint
- Matches

Fire Witches can also be specify their practice (Candle Witches covered in pt I!). Whilst Fire magic can be used to enhance passion, cleanse and give strength, it can also bring great destruction and misuse of this power will burn out the user in more ways than one so, use caution and make sure you understand what you are doing and practice safely!! If you have a strong, passionate nature and are drawn to the Flame, the path of the Fire Witch may be the one for you. Further reading 👇🏻



Earth Witch

Earth Witches draw energies either directly from the Earth itself or nature (Green and Hedge Witchery covered in pt I). This can also be further subcategorised into:

- Sand Witch (not the edible kind!) 
- Stone Witch
- Mineral Witch
- Soil Witch

Or any item that is linked directly to the Earth. 

Nature is the key focal point of the Earth Witch and they work closely with it to better understand nature's powers. Be warned, while the Earth is kind and gentle, nature can be fierce and destructive so, be careful how you drawn apon these energies and what you intend to use them for. Knowledge is also a key part to this craft, knowing what's what and what's safe to use is important to know for everyday and ritual use but, you must give back to the Earth! If you are drawn to the Earth and feel strongest when you're close to the Earth, then this path might be the one for you! Further reading 👇🏻



Air Witch

Air is the most accessible element, it's all around us and without it we wouldn't exist! The Air carries everything from seeds to birds to our thoughts and wishes. Because of this, Air is associated with the mind, communication and travel. Air Witchery is about understanding and connecting the mind, body and spirit, usually with ones breath. Breath Work is exactly what it says. Breathing has a huge impact on how our energy is directed and released. If we're breathing frantically our energies can become overwhelming and chaotic but if our breathing is calm and steady, our energies flow freely or as directed and we and our energies are more focused on the task at hand. Our words and intentions can be carried far by Air so be careful what you say because once it's said, it's hard to take back. If you find power in the slightest breeze or feel at peace when you control your breath, then Air Witchery might be something to look into. Further reading 👇🏻

Emporiblog - November Full Moon + Total Lunar Eclipse 2022

Hello all!! Don't be confused by the picture, all will be revealed!! This month's Full Moon in Taurus ♉ will be accompanied by a total Lunar Eclipse!! So, with the total lunar eclipse, and a meteor shower to boot, energies are quite fraught this month, and that counts as the energies within you too. This turbulent time is said to activate your inner rebel, that little voice within you that says 'what if we just...' Authority will grate on you, especially if it is misused and power is being abused, and this will prompt you to start flouting the rules. There is lots of incoherent stuff in your mind at the moment, the Moon calls you to surrender that, the eclipse calls you to do so fully and without abandon. Start marching to the sound of your own beat!  We need to shift this out of the way, so that we can align with our purpose. Sitting quietly tonight, letting everything go and embracing what is left will allow you to do this successfully.  You have probably

Emporiblog - Correcting Misinformation

Hello all! Today's post is kind of a serious one. Looking back through some of our previous posts, I have realised that some of the information that I gave is in fact, incorrect ! This post will hopefully set the record straight. The previous posts will still stand to serve as a reminder to always cross-reference and research thoroughly to avoid the mistakes that I made. Correction 1  ROSEMARY IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR ANY HERB!  Rosemary can only be substituted for herbs that it shares properties with. And, while we're here: - Rose cannot be substituted for any flower. Only the ones it shares properties with - Frankincense and Copal cannot be substituted for any incense/oil/gum resin. Only the ones that they share properties with - Tobacco cannot be substituted for any poisonous herbs. Only the ones that it shares properties with - Clear Quartz cannot be used as a substitute for any Crystal. Only the ones that it shares properties with As far as I know, White candle
