How to Discover Your Inner Witch Style as a Beginner

If you're just starting out on your Craft journey, you're likely overwhelmed by all the info that's out there. The world of witchcraft contains a myriad of practices, traditions, and paths to explore. For those just getting started, figuring out where you fit in as a new witch can be exciting yet overwhelming. Kitchen witch, hedge witch, Wiccan, and green witch are all possibilities, but how do you know which path is right for you? By tuning into your own interests and inclinations, you can start unveiling the type of witchcraft that calls to your spirit.

Here's how to figure out what type of witch you are:

Pay attention to what originally drew you to witchcraft in the first place - was it herbalism, divination, connecting with spirits, crystals, studying the moon phases? Your attraction likely hints at where your witchy energies flow. Look closer at paths that align with those interests.

Notice what kinds of tools, ingredients, or rituals appeal to you instinctively when you browse witchy blogs and shops. Do wands, tarot cards, crystals, candles, or cauldrons seem more alluring? Work backward from the gear that gives you joy.

Experiment with practices from different witch types - try growing some herbs like a kitchen witch, learn about moon cycles for astrology witches, and cook a themed ritual meal if hedge witchery intrigues you. See what it feels like coming home.

Use the Wheel of the Year as your guide. Are you drawn to the light and planting of spring? Do winter hearth traditions spark your imagination? Aligning your witch path with matching seasonal energies can feel potent.

Trust your intuition when exploring witch types. The one meant for you should feel spiritually exhilarating, comforting, and destined when you start practicing it. Don't ignore signs of discomfort, either.

Remember, you don't have to commit to a label right away (or ever!). Follow inspiration where it leads organically. In time, through experience, your inner witch style will reveal itself.

Above all, let curiosity, excitement, and wonder about the witchy arts shape your journey. Finding kindred spirits, books, or online groups around prospective paths will help it come into focus.

Your magical home awaits.
