• Witchcraft isn’t a religion – you’re all making it into this weird culty thing and Tumblr has turned it into something stale and conformed
• Wiccan and witch are not synonymous – there are witches of all religions
• There’s not a right or wrong way to practice – do whatever feels right in every situation
• You don’t need to believe in any gods, worship anything at all, have crystals or buy things from Instagram witch shops (most of the time they’re just capitalists anyway)
• You don’t need to declare what specific type of witch you are – you can strive to be balanced
• You create your own rules no matter what – it’s a deeply personalized way of life or thought process to each culture and each person
• if someone tries to dictate how you do what you do, they’re gatekeeping pricks and should be throat slapped
• Be true to yourself – this is only about harnessing your own strength and emotions and figuring out what parts you play in the world, not about an aesthetic or a fashion or trying to be the best witchling for other people’s admiration
• Try to have fun and stop taking it so seriously, you uptight nerds
