What is a Witch?
First and foremost, the term ‘witch’ carries a negative connotation and has for a very long time. Generally, witches can be defined in three ways: someone who practices rituals or spells, someone who is a psychic medium or a tarot reader, or someone who worships the Pagan gods. Most commonly, witches simply hone in on the power and energy of the universe to manifest their desires.
To be a witch means you are in tune with the universe and the energy it has to offer. This means you are able to harness the powerful energy the universe naturally emits and use it in your favor. Energy comes from many different sources and as a witch, you would be open to receiving that energy. These energy sources can come from crystals, flowers, herbs, candles, etc.
Being a witch also means you keep the cycle of giving and receiving in balance. It’s about helping others while spreading positivity, love, and peace. Witches have a beautiful way of living in harmony with ALL beings.
