What Witches Wish You Knew?
Are witches real? Well, have you ever had a vivid dream about someone, only for them to text you the very next day? Consider that your intuition was burning bright. When you're overwhelmed and stressed, do you ever turn your bathtub into a cauldron by filling it with soothing salts, perhaps lighting some candles to further set the mood? That's a self-love spell if I ever saw one. Or have you ever found yourself in an overly cluttered apartment thinking, "I just have to tidy up to change the energy in here"? Look at you, performing cleansing rituals.
Witches are real: They're people who practice magick. Magick, which witches like to spell with a "k" to differentiate it from stage magic, is real too. The practice of magick is about raising and directing energy to fulfill your intentions, and if you haven't noticed, witchcraft is in vogue. You may be wondering what in God's (or the Goddess's) name is going on, or even what you need to know if you'd like to practice witchcraft yourself. A very good place to start is by clearing up any misconceptions you may have about witches — here's the truth about nine of the most common myths out there.
