Emporiblog - Which Witch Are You? pt V

-
Hello all!! As promised, we are here with another installment of Which Witch Are You!

I know it's been a while but this series is back, starting with...



Chaos Witch

Chaos Witchcraft is a personal practice that the Witch will, at times, make up or completely change as they go along so, there really isn't much rhyme or reason to Chaos Witchery, hence the Chaos name. You may also use a lot of science in your craft to help you see a difference in the physical plain that corresponds to your magicks in the metaphysical plain. It is also uncommon for a Chaos Witch to rely on advice, power and messages from a Deity to help them with their practice as, Chaos Witches tend to use magicks as and when they need them but this doesn't mean that a Chaos Witch cannot work with Deities as that is a personal choice, there are also several Deities associated with Chaos and the like! If you find yourself constantly substituting ingredients and tools in your craft or drifting away from more "traditional" paths and don't know how to define your craft, chances are Chaos is calling to you!

Shadow Witch

Shadow Witchcraft isn't as ominous as it sounds. Shadow Work (I will cover this if it's the last thing I do!) is actually a huge part of Witchcraft that allows you to better understand yourself and your craft. Shadow Witchery is about working past and understanding blocks both personal and magical, understanding and healing from emotional pain and understanding the subconscious. The key to Shadow Witchery is self awareness and understanding of the self, once you've achieved that, you can then begin to help others overcome their pain. Journaling and divination will allow a Shadow Witch to keep healing, growing and understanding themselves so they can be the best version of themselves. A Shadow Witch may also experience vivid dreams so a separate dream journal may be needed so that they can interpret them and better understand their subconscious. If you feel a strong desire to better understand yourself and heal through your pain and trauma, are naturally empathic and intuitive and self care is a high priority, then chances are that you are a Shadow Witch! For those of us that need a little help with self care 👇🏻





Stitch Witch

Once again, this path is not as ominous as the name suggests. Stitch Witches love to work with clothing, often making their own clothes and other items and find peace and power in things like knitting, sewing and crafting with materials in general (Craft Witchery in a separate post). Stitch Witches pay a lot of attention to what fabrics and colour to use for each particular project to best align with their intention and the purpose of the object. Knot Magic may be a favourite Magic of the Stitch Witch as different materials will represent different purposes and intentions and will give an added boost to to Spell. Stitch Witches may prefer to handmake presents and gifts that they can fill with positive intentions. If colour symbolism means a lot to you and you have a particular proclivity for crafting clothing and working with materials, then the path of the Stitch Witch may be the one for you!

Creature Witch

Creature Witches work with animals to aid their craft. Every animal has a specific meaning and a purpose and a Cteature Witch undersnds that and can understand when an animal is there to give a message or ask for help. What we may see as a random animal encounter will in fact hold great meaning for a Creature Witch. Familiars will also have great reverence in this path and a Creature Witch may have one or more at a time and several throughout their lives. Your mind's eye could be triggered around animals with pictures, thoughts and emotions becoming stronger as this may be the way that the animal communicates with you. If you notice that you're seeing an animal more often, either the actual animal itself or pictures, on TV or figurines then you could be drawn to that animal for a reason so, it might be worth looking into the symbolism of that animal. If animals constantly come up to you and you feel at peace being with animals, then the path of the Creature Witch may be calling to you! Further reading 👇🏻




I hope you've enjoyed this Which Witch post! I know I've fallen behind with our series but I will get back and stay on track!! If you can think of any paths that you would like featured in this series, please leave a comment!

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
