So You Think You Might Be a Witch?
Growing up, you’ve probably heard all kinds of wild theories about witches and what witchcraft really is. From whispered stories about the Salem Witch Trials to terrifying warnings from religious circles, there’s no shortage of mystery and misinformation surrounding the topic.
But let’s get something straight: What is witchcraft, really? At its core, it’s energy work. That’s it. No different than a Christian praying with intention or a baker infusing love into every loaf they craft. Witchcraft is about working with energy, intuition, and intention. Each practitioner walks their own path, guided by personal belief, ancestral connection, or spiritual curiosity. There’s no one right way to practice—and that’s the beauty of it. Anyone can learn, grow, and practice witchcraft, just like anyone can develop their psychic abilities if they feel called to.
For me, it’s in my bones. Each time I’ve returned to this Earth in a new body, witchcraft has found its way back into my life. In a past life regression meditation (which I talk more about in another post), I was given a glimpse into two previous lifetimes that solidified what I already knew deep down.
In the first, I looked down and saw pointed black shoes. When I looked up, I was watching my own body burn at the stake in the middle of a small town square. I was young—likely in my 20s—with pale skin, long black hair, and a black dress. That soul version of me still lingers; I see her when I close my eyes. She feels like my core essence—silent strength, misunderstood, but powerful.
The second past life came as a brief flash: the 1920s. I was walking the stone paths of a European estate, arm-in-arm with another woman who felt familiar. We wore flapper dresses and fur coats, bobbed hair bouncing as we laughed on our way to a glamorous party. It was light, free, and joyful. Another echo of who I am now.
And strangely—or not so strangely—both of these lifetimes have fascinated me for as long as I can remember. It’s like puzzle pieces clicking into place. Since my early 20s, I’ve been chasing the threads of these memories, trying to uncover the truths I once knew—the secrets of the universe, the rituals, the wisdom. I know there’s a feminine energy guiding me in this lifetime—nudging me to remember my connection to roses, to healing, to magick.
So if you think you might be witchy? Chances are, you’re absolutely right.
I was the kid collecting gemstones, gazing at the moon, and knowing things I couldn’t explain. As an adult, I started noticing lunar cycles, dove into psychic development, began meditating, and found myself drawn deeper into the occult. Trust me—nothing is random. If your soul is yearning for something more, don’t resist it. Follow the call.
A Brief History of Witchcraft
Ancient Times
Witchcraft—or magick—has existed for millennia. In ancient civilizations like Egypt, Greece, and Babylon, it was woven into religion, medicine, and daily life. Deities were honored, spells were cast, and the natural world was seen as sacred.
Middle Ages (500–1500 CE)
In medieval Europe, the Church began to paint folk healers, midwives, and wise women as dangerous. What was once respected became feared. Witchcraft was rebranded as heresy.
Witch Hunts (15th–18th Century)
This was the darkest time. Panic, misogyny, and ignorance collided. Tens of thousands of people—mostly women—were accused, tortured, and killed across Europe and colonial America. Salem, Massachusetts is one of the most infamous cases.
19th–20th Century Revival
As the Age of Enlightenment ushered in rationalism, public belief in witches faded—but interest in the occult simmered beneath the surface. In the 20th century, traditions like Wicca emerged, reclaiming witchcraft as a path of nature-based spirituality and empowerment.
Modern Day
Today, witchcraft is diverse and evolving. There are Wiccans, Green Witches, Chaos Magicians, Eclectic Witches, secular practitioners, and ancestral paths rooted in specific cultures. At its heart, though, it’s still about energy, intention, and connecting with something greater.
For me, witchcraft doesn’t always look like casting spells or brewing potions—though it can. In this lifetime, I’m more focused on manifestation, psychic development, and deep inner work. I believe in the power of intention—but I also believe that intention alone isn’t enough. You must put action behind your desire to truly move energy through the universe.
Witchcraft is many things to many people. But for all of us, it begins with one truth: we are powerful beings capable of shifting energy, healing ourselves, and remembering who we are.
So if you feel the call—whether through moonlight, roses, intuition, or ancient memory—know this: You’re not crazy. You’re remembering.
Welcome back, witch. Until next time, stay well and stay tuned all! Thanks for reading!
