any Actual Witches willin to tell me a little about their beliefs/practices or link me to some resources/explainers, ive not rly been exposed to witchy stuff much before so im rly ignorant about it and would like not to be? 🌼 thanks 🌷
@roadrunner OT but just imagining you with a bullet journal book of shadows haha. Rather ironic that there don't seem to be any actual witches on witches.town that can tell you this stuff
@ghostlygirl ive seen a few hangin' out but id be too shy to ask them about it directly bc it feels kinda rude to just start quizzing someone over their beliefs lmao
id rock a bujo of shadows tho, maybe 2018s will be incredibly witchy
@roadrunner i'm presuming you're asking about wicca (hi!) in which case the spectrum of answers and materials you'd probably find will have about as much conformity as the individuals who practice (that is, very little)
@roadrunner and then if you just want an even broader "anyone who does mysticism ever" rather than a specific spirituality or sect you're basically asking for everyone from curious psychology professors to new agers who literally believe crystals can cure autism
@galaxgal but yeah thats makes sense, i guess its a pretty broad & personal thing
@roadrunner yeah. a 'witch' could also be any number of other spiritual denominations or beliefs that you can generally presume to be outside of traditional western practices of Christianity
@roadrunner wicca is just a relatively contemporary, well-known (white, western) practice that is often vague and individualized
@galaxgal what prompted this toot was actually seein someone complaining about how not all witches were wiccan, i always thought they were interchangeable but apparently not!!
@roadrunner but... anyone who seriously claims to be an Actual Witch™ is just a liar (???)
