Whether you’re looking for advice on which crystal will completely transform your life (hi, moldavite) or a Full Moon ritual or three to try, you can probably find a witch-fluencer telling you all you need to know in a one-minute video or infographic. Divided into 3 groups these lists, linked below, are maintained by a team of RHS staff and are reviewed annually. The obvious one being quilting but they are also widely used for dressmaking that require shape such as shirts and a-line dresses.

In the journal, he dedicates a section to the Witches of England, where he describes the "three classes of witches". They may study the history, traditions, and cultural associations of different plants and herbs as well as use them in rituals, potions, and spells. For myself, after a few years of practicing strictly with lightwork, I found myself more on the path of grey witchcraft.

The world of the gray witch has been largely avoided, misrepresented, or glossed over with various books geared gingerly towards ‘protection magic’. Some of them are a little basic, but I also learned a lot here, or at least made connections to symbols I might not have otherwise.

If you feel drawn to the natural world, have a gift for healing and soothing, and enjoy gardening and tending to plants and herbs, you could be a green witch. Personally, I have been Working for over 20 years, but even I read some things I didn't know about (having never been a part of a coven), and I will definitely be incorporating some things into my practice. I grew up just over an hour from Salem, MA and found some of the background history in regards to different dates as well as rituals inspiring as well as informative. I do not care about karma, I am not Wiccan or Pagan, I am a grey witch and baneful magick is what my goddess wanted from me to punish people who harm children.Part 3, however, had some interesting spells which I will hang onto the book because they could prove a useful resource someday. However, they are correspondences that can be found with just a few keystrokes on Google, with no real link to the concept of Gray Witchcraft.

Grey witches work with a broad spectrum of spirits, celestials, and ancestors both living and those to come. Grey witches, in turn, might also only use their magick when trying to gain balance in the universe for themselves or those they hold dear. Grey witches must incorporate duality and balance into their mentality; often these witches have powerful mental power once mastering this.A folk witch practices folk magic passed down through their family or through their local community. Ann Finnin states that many practitioners of gray magic employ the term because of its vagueness, and to avoid having to consider ethical questions. Those concepts are for very modern wiccan-types (wicca is only 80 years old), concepts for witches who live in fear of their place in history, and in fear of their own power.
