A Whisper Within

Part One: Carving Your Own Path

“It always gives me a bit of an icky feeling when a ‘witchfluencer’ sits in front of a camera and tells you what you should and should not be doing, especially when customs and folklore vary so much from, not just country to country, but from region to region. I would never tell an Appalachian witch how to approach her practice, just like I would never accept them telling me, a witch who practices on a tiny scrap of land in Oxfordshire, how to practice my craft.”

Welcome to ‘A Whisper Within’, a series of guides that hope to jog the memory of the witch already inside of you. It has been a while since I did my introductory post where I spoke about what I hoped to achieve with this different kind of ‘beginner witch’ guide… I don’t believe you are a beginner at all, but even those with some experience may have to ‘start over’ every now and again.

In this installment, I’m going to gently suggest that you silence the noise of all the online accounts, and massive amounts of media, that tell you what a witch should look like, and instead discover what witchcraft might look like for you. I’m aware of the irony that I myself am offering you advice, but you won’t find lengthy descriptions, lists and must-dos in this post. Just me putting up signposts so that you can find your way…
