hi! can I ask a witchcraft/general spirituality based question? Honestly I’m just looking back into all of these things and wondering if and where I could fall in any of it (paganism, Wicca, witchcraft, or anything else there is) I’m interested in pantheism and being involved with nature, seasons, tarot, maybe spirits, anf astronomy but I’m not sure what that could make me or what I could even do to involve myself in those things in a spiritual or religious way. I like those things but don’t know what to do for them. I have no idea! do u have any input or resources? I’m very new to everything. I don’t know exactly where to look and what kind of label would be right for me

Hello! First I wanted to say thanks for the great questions!

I wanted to take time to answer as well as I could. To start I just want to explain that you do not need a label. I understand the desire to have one and to be able to say "hey, I'm wiccan!" or "Oh yeah! I'm a green witch too!" etc.... It feels good to be sure and it feels like it gives you a more specific place to put your focus. However, I would say one of the most fun parts about witchcraft/alternative spirituality in general is exploration! Being free to learn, grow, explore everything and anything! So try not to feel like you need a label right away! Just have fun and learn about the things that you're interested in. After awhile you might notice most of your research or interests are about botany, Greek myths, Trees, spirit work or something else and that may help steer you down the path you were looking for <3

There are plenty of paths that involve all of the things you're interested in. Nature, seasons, Tarot, spirit work, astronomy...these are broad subjects and I think if you start with one of these and dig deep it will lead you down a wider path of discovery as well.

And if you start out and want to be a wiccan but after a few months feel like you want to be called a folk witch or just a spiritual individual that's okay too! We are ever changing and evolving. Its okay to change your mind!

I remember taking so many quizzes and watching so many videos on all the different kinds of witches/spiritualties. In the end I really just decided that I could call myself whatever I wanted (within reason lol) and be happy with that because there is not ONE right way or a SET number of ways to be spiritual.

If you're interested in Wicca I would suggest:

Thorn Mooney and Scott Cunningham. Reading their work and listening to Thorn's YouTube videos may help you figure out if Wicca is right for you.

If you're interested in witchcraft:

this can cross over with all the rest. Its like a ven-diagram. You can be a witch or practice magic and also be wiccan/pagan/pantheist/etc but being wiccan/pagan/pantheist doesn't necessarily mean you practice witchcraft.

I would suggest people like the Witch Of Wonderlust (Death/folk Witch), ChaoticWitchAunt (Italian Folk), The Green Witch (Green witchery), Witch of Southern Light(witchcraft), Thorn Mooney(Wiccan), Warrior Witch Nike(Norse pagan), Temperance Alden(witchcraft), Molly Roberts(Art witch), and The Norse Witch(Norse witch).

This is just a list of a few people I have trusted over the past few years. You could give them a try if they seem interesting to you!

The last thing I wanted to say is just a quick spiel about religion. If you feel like a more religious practice is what you want that is lovely and I fully support it! On the other hand try not to feel like you NEED a deity. You don't have to jump into deity worship to be valid. Worship yourself first! Take good care of yourself, eat well, stay hydrated, surround yourself with good people who support you, do the things you love, rest, smell the rain! Research different pantheons and gods/goddesses if you're curious though! Everything will come in time I promise!

So I suppose long story short I would say this:

Who cares!? (in a good way!)

EXPLORE YOUR INTERESTS

HAVE AN OPEN MIND

DO WHAT FEELS GOOOOOOOOD

and if a label fits and feels right, beautiful!! I hope this helps at least a little bit! If you have any other questions or need anything cleared up just let me know!!
