I pretty much think of it as this: We were created out of nature.. therefore although we might not cognizantly comprehend it fully, we could still discern nature with our own intuition bc this knowledge is imbedded within our being and not a dogma.. our bodies are compasses of nature which derives a practice (not the inverse).. I believe all sciences could theoretically be approached in that manner..
I learned a lot from this video. For me, the different types of witchcraft shouldn’t be viewed as falling under one big “witchcraft” umbrella with various branches, because witchcraft is a practice that is used by people from infinite different backgrounds, sometimes in a religious context, sometimes in a non-religious context.
And that's what's quite beautiful about these "paths". Open to interpretation, generally always changing and evolving with history, humanities, science, and so on. Blessed be 🐝
I couldn't practice my craft without my elemental tools and my beloved Book of Shadows. I definitely couldn't follow the Seax-Wica path...but I respect it & those who follow it. 🖤🖤🖤
Thr Seax-Wica do have a book of shadows but it's called "the Tree". I am a self dedicated Seax Wiccan. I have never seen it stated anywhere but I think the name is a reference to Yggdrasil.
I am glad that you have this on. I lost my Mom in October of 2096 and she use to practice. So I have to carry on now all by myself. Everyone in this house is afraid of Wicca. Not me though.
I just found this channel and I love all the information for beginners! I might suggest Scott Cunningham's book "Wicca, A guide for the Solitary Practitioner" a great starter book. )0( Blessed be!
@@tarot.card.std.diagnosis No hate! Genuinely curious! What makes you say that his are the worst? There are some pretty shit witchcraft books out there, so I'm curious as to what you dislike most about Cunningham's books. ( Personally, I don't like the inaccurate history and outdated information, but feel there's some good stuff in there for beginners). What books would you recommend instead ? :)
@@kittyrosefaerie7464 there certainly is some good stuff in his books, there is good stuff in every book if you look closely enough, but it's still pretty bad if you compare it with older witchcraft books like witches bible or complete book of witchcraft. I feel that a lot of his work is really vague, for example 13 goals of the witch, they don't really mean anything specific. Also i just don't agree with his views on witchcraft and wicca, his works started this way of thinking, that you don't really need to do anything to call yourself a witch you just need to light a candle and say a wish, i don't think that's witchcraft.
its very good to explore and limit yourself to any one label, being 34 now and like many martial artists, i took in the best of everything i learned so its hard to find like minded practitioners or any that can even fathom my beliefs. i started at 13 as a solitary wiccan, ive now (odd as it might sound to some) made a blend of witchcraft , christianity, and very recently a touch of the ancient egyptian beliefs. for many year i considered myself somewhat of a "christian witch" and thought i came up with that on my own but thanks to the internet making world smaller, i found i was far from the only one to do this which was a good feeling. i believe the churches would never admit it but magic was never "forbidden" for us to use but quite the opposite, thats one of the lessons Christ tried to teach as well as how he performed his "miracles." point being, never trust that any one source is 100% correct and has all the answers, learn through meditation as well, you already possess more knowledge that you think you just have to look for it. Know thyself, and thou shalt know the Universe and God. -Pythagoras
You totally forgot to mention the McFarland Dianics! They have a council of 112 witches in Dallas. They also have an offshoot tradition called the Artemisian Tradition.
Huh! I got matched with Alexandrian witch online but now that I've heard of Solitary witch that fits me more than the first one! One of my friends is a druid and has been teaching me the basics until I know enough to make my own path, he's so proud of me for being commited to the craft
In order to be an Alexandrian Witch, you would have to be trained within an Alexandrian coven and be initiated into the tradition. The Alexandrian tradition, like the Gardnerian tradition, is a structured and oath-bound tradition.
Thanks for this information. It's very useful because there are as many different types of witchcraft as there are people. I'm actually an athiest and having to believe in wicca was a big deciding factor. But I think I fall into the relm of spiritual but not religious.
I am a solitary wiccan but my best friend is a witch, i would love to practice with her but we only see eachother on summer. Am i really a solitary witch if i 'have to' practice by myself not 'want to'?
Not sure I understand your question. Are you asking if celebrating as a duo means you are no longer a solitary? My dear, you can easily transition between the two. Life is nothing but change, especially when two energies balance and mesh at Midsummer. Blessed be.
Only 6 of us in my Coven. I joined an Eclectic Coven in my 20s and after achieving my 3rd Degree I circled out. I grew up knowing I am a Chickasaw Indian but was never really exposed to my Culture aside from my Rite of Adulthood at 14. So I spent 20+yrs researching all things Chickasaw. So my Wiccan Tradition is based on my Heritage. We always had Granny Spider as a Goddess. We always had a deer antlered God but he's so old no one knows his name. I do all spoken parts of ritual in Tribal language. Chicka-Wicca anyone ?
im a solitary witch since i think my mom would beat me up behind a chic fil a if i joined a coven, but i think finding other people who work with the greek pantheon would be kiiinda banger ngl
unfortunately the information is not entirely correct. Almost everything she said about alexandrian witchcraft was off. Other things were off to lots of them.
@Doc Savage I am an Alexandrian High Priest it is not required in our training. Many Alexandrians have had leanings towards many aspects of the occult but it is not a basis of the tradition. We also have our own angelic system also not required. In Fact you can watch my videos about my craft on this channel.
This is why alchemy appealed to me in my various studies of wicca. So many variations, i want what the elements determine work. No one wants to agree on much, so much hierarchical fighting. I am content to practice my spirituality alone!
Hello AnonimitySmith - Green Witch and Eclectic Witch are both labels that some witches give to themselves to specify their interests. This video is about different traditions within Wicca and witchcraft. Traditions are different than the labels you've asked about. I hope that helps!

Jesus Christ is the way to stay out of hell for eternity. The Holy Bible says not to use magic of any type. Just trying to save souls from hell. God bless.
Personally, I have always preferred to be a solitary. I have been a Wiccan for years, and being alone has always felt right.
same here
I feel the same way went from initiated Wicca to Seax Wica for awhile Now for many years I have been solitary love it
Same here

I just love all of the paths i am feel so greatful magic is awekening in my life i only wish i would it done it sooner.
Eclectic wicca also
Very good and informative ✨️🌈
I am a solitary wiccan but my best friend is a witch, i would love to practice with her but we only see eachother on summer. Am i really a solitary witch if i 'have to' practice by myself not 'want to'?
If you have to ask then you arent one
Not sure I understand your question. Are you asking if celebrating as a duo means you are no longer a solitary? My dear, you can easily transition between the two. Life is nothing but change, especially when two energies balance and mesh at Midsummer. Blessed be.
yes every Witch may choose to initiate and commit to a tradition for community or have a patron diety etc but you should always retain some autonomy
Only 6 of us in my Coven.
I joined an Eclectic Coven in my 20s and after achieving my 3rd Degree I circled out.

Chicka-Wicca anyone ?
I am Blackfoot, I practice the craft own way. I know some of my ancestors, my craft focuses on nature and ancestry.
So is Wicca a religion I'm kinda confused?
Yes.🎑
im a solitary witch since i think my mom would beat me up behind a chic fil a if i joined a coven, but i think finding other people who work with the greek pantheon would be kiiinda banger ngl
I have a question can you be Wican but work with the Greek gods
@@ViceVibes of course you can, wiccans are duotheistic ( worship of two Gods ) but there are wiccans that are polytheistic ( worship of many Gods )
I'm a mix of traditional witch and solitary witch :D
Great vidoes, but the word "lineage" is pronounced "li-nee-uhj" (three syllables) not "line-uhj" (two syllables).
unfortunately the information is not entirely correct. Almost everything she said about alexandrian witchcraft was off. Other things were off to lots of them.
I was wondering about that!
@Doc Savage I am an Alexandrian High Priest it is not required in our training. Many Alexandrians have had leanings towards many aspects of the occult but it is not a basis of the tradition.

Best thing to do is to read drawing down the moon by Margot Adler. It's full of information.
A traditional Witch: Someone who follows the shit that Cochrane made up rather than the shit that Gardner made up.
This is why alchemy appealed to me in my various studies of wicca. So many variations, i want what the elements determine work. No one wants to agree on much, so much hierarchical fighting. I am content to practice my spirituality alone!
Well. I guess I'll start with being a solitary witch
On the Goddess path….
Green witch? Eclectic witch?

Wicca by far is the weakest form
Jesus Christ is the way to stay out of hell for eternity. The Holy Bible says not to use magic of any type. Just trying to save souls from hell. God bless.
Wiccan don't believe in the bible you know that right?
This is evil, please repent. The Lord provides.
Christianity is evil
I'm trying to figure out what I am
Not all witches are Wiccan
