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 - Which Witch Closed Edition - Draconic

Hello all!! Today we're returning to our Which Witch Closed Edition series and kicking off our Dragon series!! DISCLAIMER: This is a closed practices and cannot be practiced by everyone, including myself! I have done my best to research as much as possible but since I cannot practice this, resources are limited. Draconic Witchcraft centers around Dragons and not necessarily the ones you've seen on TV and in books. Dragons are completely separate entities and working with them isn't for the faint of heart or something that just anyone can do as Dragons are very picky and secretive when it comes to working with people. Draconic Witchcraft is a closed practice but not for the same reasons as our previous practices, it's not tied to a specific ethnicity, place of origin or bloodline; it is closed because you can only become a Draconic Witch with the following 2 requirements: - The Dragons choose you - You must be able to read energy As I stated before, Dragons ...

Earthing

(Photo Credit: Kerenza Jinks) Earthing Although many people see grounding and earthing as the same thing, I do not.  Allow me to elaborate. To me, grounding is a spiritual thing, whereas earthing is a physical one. Although, both can be practiced together. Yes, I'm confused too. I have confused myself!! So, I will try and explain what I see as the difference. Our post on grounding is here . To me, grounding is a practice of getting rid of unwanted energy, it helps me when I feel anxious, overwhelmed or am overthinking. Yes, I go outside to do this quite often, but that is not a necessary practice. I can also meditate to achieve this   Grounding meditation on YouTube . Essentially, grounding helps calm me down, whereas Earthing gives me energy. In walking barefoot on the ground, I feel that I can draw up energy from the Earth herself, and this can be enough to allow me to face a busy day with positivity. Basically, I Earth to feel more energetic, and ground to rid myself of unw...

Hello all! We're kicking off the festive season with a post on Snow Magick! We will also cover ice as well since the two go hand in hand! So, the easiest point to cover is that both snow and ice are different forms of water and can be used in water rituals and magick as a whole as well as for their own individual uses. We have several posts on the uses of water for those who want some extra reading! Snow/Ice is also associated with the following: - Winter - Death - Preservation  - Transformation As well as many deities and beings ( Krampus comes to mind) But, let us look at the uses of snow within the craft... 1 : You can use snow to make a poppet! That's right, you can make a temporary poppet in your own garden by building a snowman or several and enchanting them to protect your property. You can also make regular sized poppets, enchant them and melt them 2 : Get rid of unwanted behaviours by enchanting a snowball or placing a piece of paper into a snowball and t...
