A small look into the different types of practitioners and witches you can commonly find. It's important to note that you don't need to be any one of these types of witches, you don't need a label for your practice, these are however, useful guides to allow you to explain your practice to others. This is not a comprehensive list, hopefully I will be able to add further links, to more detailed recourses below:

Another common variety: the lazy witch
Rofl yes. I'll clean up the wax... Eventually
Hahaha🤭
Lmaooo I feel triggered 😅
Lol I don't want to be lazy lol
probably gonna be me lmao
I love how she just wants to educate people about this, I just adore her
Same❤️
🥰🥰🥰🥰 yes, she is just lovely ❤❤❤
Holy moly. When you explained the Tech witch, my Siri unlocked on my iPhone and said: Hey.
HAHAHAHA
Danja Overduin that’s creepy!
Maybe that is a sign
Yeah, I got Alexa working overtime to figure me out. I finding charging and sweet talk to work the best.... Oh and articulating. ... I mumble sometimes. Lol
Tech witch is a thing? Well then I am obviously a mighty wizard. My mouse in one hand and a bag of chips in the other!
NERDUS MAXIMUS!
Don't forget Brujos and Brujas, Mexican witches. We work with ancestral deities or Teotl, practice Mexican folk medicine, and work with the ancient pre Columbian calendar.
That probably wasn't included because it's seen as a more closed tradition
Wow! I was not familiar with this. Gracias!
I think it may not have been included because it's a closed practice
Do you have any resources to learn more about Mexican witchcraft? I am a Mexican I would like to look more into the Brujería practice :)
@@CelesteSinger1 No I'm white lmao but maybe someone else does here
I always called my way "mountain witch". Mostly old folk remedies and such. The Appalachian lore is kinda a mash of Native American practice combined with Celtic and Germanic (who were the majority of settlers in the mountains). And because there are aspects of it that are centuries old, I'm always learning new things.
I am VERY curious about Mountain Witches
This is my first time hearing about mountain witchcraft as a label, but as an Austrian witch who incorporates alpine folklore into my craft ig that makes me a mountain witch too
@@judethaddeus9856 Do you live in the Apalachian mountains,down south ?
Could a Stormbringer also be a Elemental Witch as well ?
It's generally called draconic rather than dragonic witchcraft. I'm so glad you mentioned it, I always feel like I'm practising some kind of reasonably unpopular craft and hardly every hear it acknowledged by anyone else. I hated dragons as figures before I started working with them and their energies and now I'm obsessed. Dragons ftw
I've been obsessed with dragons since I was a little girl and now I know why lol
D.J. Conway Dancing with Dragon's and Mystical Dragon Magick
I'm eclectic. Cosmic, Hedge, Green, Faerie, Tech, Urban mix.
I've done many of the others, not counting pop or sea. Good video. Thanks HearthWitch!
Tom,for the time being ..I'm a weather witch
@@juliereminiec4937 yeah I have been doing a lot of that in my area to try and lower the Mississippi flood south of mn. On the upside the weather in my town has been eerie enough that people keep talking to me about it and then I just laugh and nod.
It makes sense to call yourself an eclectic witch when you’re beginning bc you’re still learning as much as you can from different things.
Im an eclectic witch but ive been practicing since I was 15
Im 34 now.
Took me although til water witch to realize Hearth lists them alphabetically lmao
Ohhh
is being a color witch a thing? i use color as a centerpiece in my rituals/magick, and the energy associated with that color is what i invoke. my main energy source is from diff colors, and i can also see auras so human energy for me also comes from colors.
I've never heard of a color witch. It's very interesting. Has the use of colors helped you in manifesting change in your life?
It is if you say it is. Witchcraft is very individual. If that's the name that you fell best describes you then you absolutely can call yourself that.
That’s so lovely!
Don't mind how im replying to a year old message, but that sounds like an Eclectic witch thing. Many eclectic witches do practices that they made up themselves that work best with them. Or they do a blend of any different types of practices from other witches. End and end, they are a witch that practices witchcraft in their own unique way!
Yes, a color witch is definitely real! Color is central in my practice as well. Colors have powerful frequencies.
I’m a Solitary Gray Celtic Hedge Witch who works strongly with Crystal, Sigil, and Lunar Magick but I’m not one for labels. 😉 These types/categories are great for identifying yourself for you and other Witches but also shouldn’t limit your workings. I love this girl. She knows her stuff.
I love your no nonsense, deeply researched and non judgmental videos. Thank you for your openness and sharing 🥰
I waa an only child raised by a single mother who ran a small coven. I grew up in ritual circle. So thanks to mom I took my 1st Degree at the age of 14. So I guess I am a "Hereditary" kind of witch. That means nothing to me though. I mean that title and $10 will get a coffee at starbucks. No perks or freebies. I tend to only work solo from my home , I love all the "toys" that can be used in ceremonial magick. My backyard is a year round harvest of food , herbs , flowers and I compost everything I can . I have healthiest lawn in the neighborhood. LoL
That's really cool! So would that mean that you are Wiccan (if you took your first degree)? And would that also mean that your mother was High Priestess? Sorry, I'm just new here and very curious 😄
Two years after your comment, I’m compelled to offer a response : You sound like a grounded, multi-skilled young man with a healthy sense of humor about yourself-and I’m guessing, a great Mom… As you have your (Wiccan?) shared history of ceremonial majick in common, have you considered writing a BOOK together? Something tells me that the combination of Family and Witchcraft would be fascinating to a wide cross-section of people ; a highly marketable Publishing Project, indeed… Plus, your writer’s “Voice” comes through loud and clear!
Her: and yes a crystal witch... they usually go above and beyond.... me: as I have a bunch of crystals on me and all around me *i don’t know what ur talking about looool*
And not being able to travel without carrying some of my crystals with me
I have a bunch of crystals😁
Me with my amethyst that came to me in elementary: “they talking bout us?”
Nah Fr, I connected with hearth, it gave me flashes of my past life where I was a solitude hearth green witch. I wish my familiar would return to me, I miss my black kitty so much even though I have never met them in this life. I cry whenever I get flashbacks of me kissing them on the chin like they loved or them curling by my feet while the fireplace crackled. I know she is happy wherever she is..
I am a hereditary sea witch. I learn many things from my family in other worlds. Hence, I focus on water element and connection with water Goddesses, Nereids and others.
That’s amazing do you still practice?
XD i think i might have put some magic and stuff in everything i cook without realizing it.
My mother says always that the food i make tastes different but great.
And when i eat food from other people i tend to not feel something. Like something is missing.
The usual spark of happiness & hope i taste in my own food just doesnt appear in other peoples food when they cook.
XD oh well.
I have a deep connection with the sun, but at some point when i was in sixth and seventh grade, i was really intuned with the rain. Whenever i came to my extra English tutor class early, it would rain. I didn't know why and everyone around me had joked about me being a witch and came early before the rain (because i had a reputation of being late to class at this tutor center, but every single time, in 2 years without fail, if i came early, then it would rain later that day). And once i came almost 2 hours early, it rained right after my arrival, and on that day the biggest storm of the year came, the center's power was cut off for 2 hours and i found out that there was an accident happen on my way home to this center, and i had just missed it
I usually call myself a Green Witch, as that is the term I prefer, however I could probably fit into either Green Witchcraft, Cottage Witchcraft, and Hedge Witchcraft.
Edit: also, I do incorporate a Wiccan (and also Hindu) influence to my work, however, I do not consider myself Wiccan (or Hindu) and have more of a secular view of my craft.
it seems impossibly boring to be only one of these for any extended period of time. I'm an old witch, I've practiced most of these. Always just called it traditional.

Im a hedge witch the police just knocked on my door.... I dont have a door i live in a tree
Thank you sooo much
U
I cant even keep a plant alive and my zodiac is a Taurus therefore I am a earth witch♧
thank you so much for this. i've never fit in with the green/cosmic witch category perfectly even though some of the ways i approach the world and my craft are so similar to how those veins of witchcraft are described. i felt like a 'fake witch' and sham for so long because i was told so by certain people on pinterest and such. but i know my power, i have seen it and felt it since i was a child. thank you for saying all that you did, it was so comforting to me. you're very very special, hearth 🥺
As ever, this is so thorough, unbiased, clear, helpful and insightful, thank you! It’s wonderful to have some clarity on the many competing titles from a trusted source! And the continual reassurance that there is absolutely no need to pigeon hole your practice either is always a positive and welcome message ☺️ 💕
This video is very informative. I fall into a few of these categories. I work with candles and dried herbs. I don't worship deities as I am not religious. I only observe the equinoxes, solstices, the season's, and certain cycles of life( birth, death, marriage, coming of age, ect.) I tried wicca, but for me, believing in deities is not for me, however, I do believe in masculine and feminine energies in nature and people, but they are just that, energies, not deities to me. The triple goddes to me only represents the cycle of a womans life from youth to elderhood, but not as a goddess itsself, just a representation of the feminine life cycle. I do work with certain angels and spirits when the need arises, and I am not above baneful magick. I will perform baneful magick, have been approached and show things by demons in the past who wished to teach me the "infernal mysteries" (as they called it) and have shown me some wickedly dark things. Their energy is extremely heavy and dark. One cannot be weak or careless to work with them. I very much tow the line between light and dark and depending on the situation can vere either way. I respect my craft highly, my path definitely very unique.
I’m a Tarot Witch, my practice is centered on Tarot and Oracle cards.
Is that like practicing Runic Magicks ? If so I am very into my Runes for lots of things.
Lovely!! Would’ve liked to see Chaos Witches in the list, but super informative regardless. I’m interested in Elemental Witchcraft as well. 🔥🍄🌪💧
Angie Ray do u think it's real?
I am just getting into Chaos Magic. I've been on the path five years now and my practice has been feeling...lacking. Like it's not quite me.
Meadow Rae maybe someone or something doesn't want you to get there
From my understanding, sigil Magic, Effigy dolls, creating spirit servitors, Etc are all considered chaos magic. I think there's a lot of things that figure into the chaos magic, because it's more of the eclectic witch practice in a way? Since it is all very freestyle. And I'm sure many practitioners have figure it out some sort of system with what they have been learning and tried to make up some ritual of Their Own.
Jiwon is that effective?? Creating own rituals
I've seen a blend between secular and religious, in a way. For example, despite incorporating spirits or Deities, they don't necessarily stay associated with any one entity or Deity for long or consider it worship. They may see them as a means to an end or even a part of themselves or lesser beings, as "we are the real Deities."
I feel very drawn to the idea of elemental witchcraft. I love your videos and would love for you to make a video about it. I really appreciate you!
I really appreciate the trouble you have gone to to create this video. I have only just found your channel and subscribed after I had watched 2 or 3 of your videos. I love your down to earth, practical approach to explaining things. I hope many youngsters who are searching for their spiritual path will find you before wandering down another, that might lead them into confusion. I have been a witch for more years than you have been alive, but rarely met anyone that has impressed me so much. Thank you.
You are honestly so amazing! I love your spirit and openness! Your videos are always informative.💗
Thank you so much xxx
@@HearthWitch hi cutie i like you and love u as a friend
Thank you for explaining hedge witch so beautifully! I’d like to add to it for my sister hedge witches who may not know their calling just yet...if you’ve found a talent in attending BOTH deaths and births as a doula, midwife, or CNA (worked in nursing homes or hospices) and can feel energies in the room, maybe can even manipulate them...you are a hedge witch. Don’t hide anymore. Come out of the broom closet. ♥️
This is absolutely what I needed! 💜 Thank you
Woah I didn’t know how many paths of witchcraft there were, thank you for the very informative video!
I deeply resonate with hedge or cosmic witchcraft! ✨👽🧙🏼♀️
I always learn so much from your videos! Thanks for all your hard work on this channel!
Excellent video. Loved it. I would like to see a couple videos on hearthwitch craft and kitchen witchcraft.
Thank you for this video! Also, just wanted to say... I love hearing you talk! Have a blessed day!
This was such an interesting video! I am really excited to learn more about each one and adding bits and pieces of each to my practice. Thanks Hearth
Thank you so much for making these videos, I'm just staring my witchcraft journey and you videos are an amazing source of information!
I really like your videos 💕 A lot of my friends are Pagan and Wiccan and some practice Witchcraft ! These videos really help and ya boi trying to be supportive 🌻Happy spring btw!
I live by the ocean and feel so comfortable in the water and jungle, love this video
Oh my gods, I'm so happy I found your channel! I'm so glad you included us Draconic witches in this video! 💕
Another great video. You are so thorough, it's amazing♥
I'd love more in depth videos on Hearth & Lunar. I have dabbled in both practices and have been looking to go further. Wonderful video, thanks for your work!
Thank you so much for this video! I love that through this examination of types of witches, your enthusiasm is the same for each type! Even though you are a proud hearth witch (I tend to lean this way as well), you invoke equal enthusiasm when discussing the different types. Love it!
Good information! I will be following your videos and with your assistance, I am going to teach myself well. I have already had a wish come true, was looking for someone I can trust to guide me through this and here u are! You're awesome.
Awesome breakdown, thank you!
Thank you so much for this. Gave me so many new ideas. Im a 20 year practitioner and I love when I can learn new things. So much information...so little time. Keep up the good work my dear. You're amazing! 😁
I'm mainly a non-theistic solitary cosmic witch even though I dabble in many other categories. Very interesting. Thank you for the very informational video.
I love this video! It was very informative and easy to understand, as all of your videos are. I’ve subscribed and I’m hoping to keep watching for a good while :)
This is amazing content
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
So much witchery to choose from! Lol
Very inspiring and informative.
Your lesson has really given me so much to think about.
Wow, it's was great! It's something that a haven't thought of I'm a long time. Thanks for your help
You're the shiznit at teaching the basics & theory of wc 101 & setting newcomers & window shoppers straight on at least where to begin & what to expect. What a great service you're providing to fellow practitioners & the craft in general. Many blessings should be returned to you! Great day!
Thank you so much for posting videos! My magical journey has been quite incredible over the five years. It used to be just burning sage in the apartment, to learning about Native American practice, to full on practicing. I always have so many things I want to learn and haven't yet. You're an exceptional teacher. Xx
I had always been in love with witch craft but never knew where to start growing up so I eventually set it aside...The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina had jump started my love for the craft again, but I was always afraid that this made me following some type of trend due to its inaccurate representation of actual Satanism and it’s exaggeration of Christian-based devil-inspired witchcraft...
And to find out that Pop Culture Witches Are actually a THING?
This just made me so happy!!!
I shared your channel with MY teacher a 2nd Degree Priest and he LOVES this video in particular...we all love you...keep giving all this great information!
Wow thank you, very clear video and a lot of positive energy❤😉
This was very educational. I love that everything is well thought out and objective. Drawn towards the path of witchcraft at a young age, I took a detour down the yogic path, I have recently felt drawn back towards this path (now in my late 40’s). it’s such a gift that a young and intelligent witch as yourself are touching so many, imparting your knowledge to others. Good luck as you continue on.
Your videos are beyond amazing! I always learn so much from them. You explained it always so well! Love it! Grateful! 🙏🧝🏻♀️
Thank you so much xx
You know I have gone down rabbit holes about witches just cuz I always like to listen to others even if I “already know” . You have by far broke it down for a good reference or someone who is new . Can’t wait to watch more of your videos.
Thanks so much for this💕. I'm still in my research phase but I'm looking to start practicing magick and knowing the different types of practitioners will really help me 🤗
This was such a helpful video!!!
this is the exact video i have been looking for. new to all of this and would get lost in other vids! thank youuu
I also heard about art and music witches! Thank you so much for the explanation ✨🍀💜😊
Thank you. Very informative for someone like me who's just getting started. ✨🎃
Amazing, so informative and understandable! Thank youu
New sub today
Thank you for the extensive list and excellent explanations... I have been told all my life I am a witch and I could not even think of a type that might apply.... thank you...
Great information, thanks for putting it all together 😊 labels aren't everything, but they sure can be helpful sometimes 😜
Wonderful video! I am many of the aforementioned. Thank you very much. I love your videos.
Always a blessing 🙇♀️🌱❤
I would really really LOVE a video on the path of a Heart Witch.
such a thorough video 🙏 much appreciated!
These videos of yours are just pure freaking gold. Your Cancer Sun and Cap Moon lend the most fantastic balance of understanding and determination with relaying these incredibly important magickal details to us all. Thank you so much, Hearth, from the bottom of my heart. BTW - Are you an Aries rising? Just a thought I was being nosy about. Much love to you and yours, Hearth!
Great video!!!
this helped me with my witchy research thank you :D
This helped me a lot to chose what path I want to work on .thankyou so much. ❤❤
I'm a gray, solitary, water/sea and animal witch.
Thank You!! This was Awsome!!! I had no idea there was so many different witches now days!!! 🌹👍😎😁
Love this! Please make a full video on hedgewitchraft
Tysm love ur channel ❤️
You are certianly the most informed person ive seen do these videos thank you so much for being so well rounded on the craft.
I have alot of curiosity about air witches and their practice if you could do a video that explores that or even the elemental witch
I found your channel “by accident” and I immediately subscribed. Your content is amazing! 😍 This awesome video told me that I’m an secular solitary lunar green crystal elemental sigil witch - for now. 😅 But I guess secular solitary eclectic witch would be much easier. 😂 Thanks for all this wonderful content 💜 I’m off delving among your videos now. 🤓
This was so interesting. Though it makes sense in hindsight, I never knew there were so many variations of witchcraft or the difference between Wiccan and Witch. Thanks for sharing! :)
Sending you so much LOVE!
I'd love to know more about green witchcraft. Thank you!
very useful and documented information. I found myself as green witch. thank you 💗
This has been very informative. Thank you :)
Hello! Thank you for the wonderful video!
Excellent! Very informative!
This is a very informative video so thank you for this video.
So informative always,love watching you my favorite so far others talk to much and no useful info thanks.
Hearth witches give off the best kind of Grandma energy
I love this! I didn't know of a few types of these witches, so that was cool! I've just restarted my practice into witchcraft and such, and though I've been mostly drawn to Wicca (because that's what I was introduced to by a friend as a teen, therefore researched and know the most about), it's been over 10 years since my... belief system war, let's say lol But I've been extremely interested in draconic witchcraft because I've been a dragon otherkin since I was in my late teens, so incorporating that into my practice sounds amazing. But I'm still at the very beginnings of my learnings and practice with spellwork and such, so I'm going to wean into it and just try what feels right to me. c: Thanks for the video!
I watched this to try and determine what witch path I might be interested in trying out and my deities both agreed I would probably like being a hedge witch. I just finished your explanation and it sounds perfect! Thank you for making this video!
My new favorite witch. I love her videos🎃💕
Thank you for all of the information you share with us. :)
Secular Cottage Witch here.~ Very informative video! I hadn't heard of some of these.
As always, your videos are so insightful and absent of bias. I help run a witchcraft discord server having your videos are a huge boon for explaining topics to the baby witches-as well as, topics that I don’t research personally. Thank you again, and see you around the witching community!
I would be interested in learning more about faery witchcraft.
What is your discord server called? I’m interested 😁
What are you talking about? She's a baby witch. All she did was name a list of wiccan buzzwords. She only addressed one system of magick. There are thousands upon thousands, and she never once mentioned a different type of witch. Let's hear about Mambos, Chinese Wujiao, or Native American Medicine women. They are witches in every sense. They don't fall into these categories. That's what a different type of witch is. That's when the rules change and you actually start seeing another kind of magick.
Just discovered your channel and wow you're so informative !! I found my interest in Wicca and witchcraft a long time ago but to be honest I was kind of turned off by the religious aspect of it (no offence I totally understand it, just not my thing) and never pursued it. Now I've just started doing tons of research again and I'm realising that you can pretty much pick and choose whatever resonates with you ! I'm very interested in herbalism and green witchcraft and celebrating nature in general, but not necessarily specific nature gods and goddesses. They're more like metaphors to me. I guess I would be a secular, solitary green witch ^^
Your channel is literally 🔑 to my life tysmmm 💙ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
ʕ·ᴥ·ʔ
Love this video I like you explaining everything
Thank for all your insight! 💜💛💜💛
Fire, technology, draconic, energy, solar. I do it.
