My Journey begins as a Wicca Apprentice
Hello to everyone who has stopped by to read my first ever blog. Firstly, let me introduce myself, my name is Leanne and this year my friend Erin and I opened a Gothic / Wicca shop called Magic Touch Gothic.
Since the shop opened, I realised quickly that I need to learn all about the Wicca ways, as Erin is extremely knowledgeable. She would consider herself to be an Eclectic witch. Yes, you might be asking yourself the same question I asked myself – what is that and how many different types of witches are there?!
So, I asked Erin this question, and she told me that there are a few different types of witches, it just depends on how you want to apply it to your life. An Eclectic Witch draws on different forms of witchcraft and tailors it to suit their own taste. Meaning, she would dabble in this and that.
What are the different types of witches? To name a few, we have Kitchen Witches, Hereditary Witches and Solitary Witches and so on. Bottom line is no matter what path you wish to choose, you will follow your own beliefs and lifestyle.
My mind was blown, and there was me thinking that a witch was…..well, a witch! One who casted spells, had a broomstick parked in the cupboard, a bubbling cauldron in the kitchen…
At present, I am proud to consider myself to be a “Wicca Apprentice”. Now there’s no need to laugh at me… What will my apprenticeship contain? I will be learning how to cast spells, make potions, learn about the Sabbats – well you never know I might even get a day off work to celebrate them!!
Anyway, I have decided to write this blog to share with you my journey on becoming a witch, as there is much to learn and lots of casting to be done.
