Witchcraft = a practice, not a religion. PAGAN vs WICCA vs WITCHCRAFT (...not the same) SOLITARY vs SECULAR vs COVEN BASED (...not the same) Common misconceptions -You don’t have to be a certain gender to be a witch -Magick is not inherently evil, nor tied to evil, etc. -All witches are not satanists, …But, some are!!! -You don’t need to be in a coven. -You don’t actually need any specific tools. -You don’t need to spend money to get started! MAGICK is different from what is seen in most books, movies, television, & other media. It is a series of techniques used to manifest by harnessing energy (both internally and externally) in order to change yourself and/or your surroundings. How do I get started? My advice is to meditate! Self reflection is going to be so important in your craft. As you dive into your journey, reflect on what it is you are drawn to about witchcraft and what you’re hoping to get out of it. Go slow and start with the basics! Common Practices and Symbols: Deasil, Widdershins Invocation, Evocation Elements: Spirit, Water, Earth, Fire, Air Types of Magick: Low, Neutral, and High Pentacle Witch’s Knot Goddess of the moon Realms of Witchcraft: Green, Hedge, Cottage, Kitchen, Psychic or Chaos, …and so many others. Spiritual Assistance: Deities (aspects of human nature), Ancestors (energy of past loved ones), Spirit (energy of creatures, objects or surroundings), Guides (Spiritual influences), The Fey (Nature spirits), …and many others. “There are just as many types of witches as there are witches.” - Unknown.

www.AskaGreyWitch.com About this website: Thoughts. Experiences. Inspiration. Home I’m so glad you’ve come! Grey: An ill-defined topic, situation or area of activity not readily conforming to a category or set of rules. Grey Witch: Working within the "Grey Areas" of Witchcraft and finding balance within the spectrum of energies. AskaGreyWitch.com is where I share with you what interests me most as a Humanist Wiccan, my personal practice! I hope to spark excitement so that you can nurture your own passions and projects. For years, I have served as a useful source of motivation, assistance or advice. I finally decided to own that role and be more intentional about it. I started Ask a Grey Witch: with a mission to give others a taste of my thoughts and experiences by answering submitted questions. What started as occasional posts has evolved into a rich site filled with a variety of information about various topics that are near and dear to my being. Take some time to explore the blogs and find what sparks your interest. Submitted questions are very much appreciated! The main focus of this website has become to serve as a support platform for the Astral Sacred Meadow Circle. More about that can be found at: www.askagreywitch.com/coven As a Wiccan male and practitioner of energy work and manifestation, I share my perspective and experience in a way that I hope makes sense and is helpful to others. I want to be clear that what I say is not what goes. I'm not trying to say that what I think is the only way... each and every one of us has our own way of thinking and individual beliefs, traditions, etc. Quite often I find myself offering guidance, answering questions, providing information and giving advice to other practitioners of magick finding their own way. This website is maintained as a safe place where perspectives are shared, ideas can be explored, and submitted questions can be answered honestly without inquirers made to feel centre staged, or stereotyped, or discriminated against, etc. like what can happen in online communities or on social media these days. Lots about workings and experiences can be shared by simply answering submitted questions in a short blog style format. By doing so, together we may be able to help break some of the misconceptions that still exist out there about modern witches, wiccans, or other interesting folk. The blog appears in the order that the questions were asked. Therefore, the newer more recent posts are found at the top of the blog entry list and the older blog entries can be found below in the list with the oldest/first entry at the bottom. There is a search option if that helps to narrow down the subject of the blog that you are interested in reading about. It is my hope that by sharing some knowledge of my own perspectives in this way that it's convenient and helpful to others determining what's best for themselves and will allow me to divide my time more evenly for those requesting mentorship. Enjoy your visit and the information that is shared about beliefs, experiences, and manifestation. All of the blog entries are written to answer a submitted question in a short, yet informative post (the blog entries have an average reading time of around five minutes. The videos have an average length of about 6 minutes). We all need something to motivate us. Take a look around; perhaps you’ll be motivated to discover what exhilarates and fits best for you. After all, the more personally satisfying workings feel to the practitioner, the more likely manifestations will materialize into reality. AskaGreyWitch.com does not currently produce it's own income. There are however costs associated with maintaining a website. And so, the hosting service and domain registration associated has been mostly paid for by my profession as an intuitive reader. Therefore, this website is made possible thanks to Stafford Tarot , Intuitive Readings. At the request of a couple of website visitors, I have decided to add additional pages that will focus on workings advice and witchcraft related information. This is where I can share examples of some of the suggestions and recommendations for certain topics such as cleansings, protections, self empowerment, and other 'high magick' or non baneful topics at https://www.askagreywitch.com/witchcraft Please feel free to share any concerns, suggestions, or comments that you may have as I always appreciate feedback.

Rune Divination An Ancient Oracle Just as Tarot Reading, Rune casting is not considered a form of fortune telling. But rather, a very old technique of oracle consultation. Each a charector, a letter, a magickal symbol, and can have altered meanings depending on how it lands or how it is pulled from a bag. My runes stones Runes can mark stones, sticks, chips, and any other divination tool that can be cast. They can also be drawn as magickal markings to hold intention and power, and even as an alphebet charector set.
