Witchcraft doesn’t have to be detailed rituals under a full moon. Magic can be everyday. ✨
Witchcraft is talking to your plants and explaining to them why they're being re-potted
Witchcraft is wearing your favorite shirt for luck.
Witchcraft is saying "thank you" to old items before discarding them.
Witchcraft is a deep breath and a murmured assurance of, "I can do this" before a big day.
Witchcraft is keeping a candle lit on your desk because you find it relaxing.
Witchcraft is throwing open your windows and playing some comforting music.
Witchcraft is the little things, too.

Is "Witch" Gender Neutral?
A lot of people say that the term "witch" is a gender-neutral term, and I agree. It's gender-neutral in that anyone should be able to freely identify with it, regardless of someone's sex or gender. People who don't identify as women are absolutely allowed to use the term "witch," and shouldn't have any other terms forced on them if that's what they prefer.
However.
There are a lot of witches who insist that "witch" has no gendered connotation, and that there is no reason why someone who practices witchcraft should want another term. "Witch" is purely gender neutral, isn't it?
"Witch" is not gender-neutral in that it connotes a person of any gender. Think of a witch. Do you think of a man? Do you think of someone whose masculine? Because I and many others do not.
Don't take my word for it? What does the internet define a witch to be and look like?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's feminine connotation is further emphasised by its etymology and historical use:
Old English wicce "female magician, sorceress," in later use especially "a woman supposed to have dealings with the devil or evil spirits and to be able by their cooperation to perform supernatural acts," fem[inine form] of Old English wicca "sorcerer, wizard, man who practices witchcraft or magic[."] … [W]itchcraft was specifically singled out as a woman's craft[.] … Witch in reference to a man survived in dialect into [the 20th century], but the fem[inine] form was so dominant by 1601 that men-witches or he-witch began to be used.
"Witch" is a term with a feminine connotation. People who do not identify as women, especially those who are transgender, do not appreciate having a term like this forced upon them. I have seen multiple posts on this site from transmasculine people that say that this term is a source of dysphoria for them, that they are expected to identify as witches if they want to find community in witchcraft. It is cruel to suggest that these people should put up with tacit misgendering because "any gender can be a witch, including men!"
That's missing the point. Yes, any gender can identify with the term "witch." People who believe that “witch” is woman-exclusive often exclude other actual women from the term. However, just because they can identify with it, does not mean that they will. The reasons why they don't identify with the term are their own and they do not owe you an explanation for why they don't use it.
To everyone who doesn't identify as a woman fully or at all out there: you do not need to use the term "witch." If you feel a connection to the word, if it makes you happy to use it, by all means, use it. But if "witch" makes you feel dysphoric, if you cringe calling yourself it, or if you just don't like the way the word looks or sounds, you do not need to use it and you aren't any less of a serious practitioner for it.
Neutral/Masculine Terms
But that begs the question: what terms are out there that aren't "witch?" I've compiled a short list.
Wizard: Wizard is perhaps the most popular masculine alternative to witch, at least in fiction, and is the term I like since it communicates what it needs to. Wizard is derived from wise and -ard, an old suffix equivalent to modern -er. Initially it meant a philosopher or sage (someone who is wise, a wise-ard), and due to philosophy melding with magic in the Middle Ages, took on the meaning of "someone with magical power." Thanks it being a class in D&D, this may be applied to women, but this is a term mostly associated with men.
Warlock: This is another popular masculine term, almost exclusively associated with men. Warlock is derived from an Old English word meaning "traitor, oath-breaker," and initially applied to the Christian Satan. Over time, the word began to be used to refer to people connected with Satan, and from that, men who practice magic. I've only see women warlocks in D&D, where it is a player class.
Sorcerer: Compare with sorceress. Derived from Medieval Latin sortarius, meaning "fortune-teller." Due to a feminine term existing (sorceress), sorcerer is often only applied to men. Again, I have only seen women sorcerers in the context of D&D, where it is another class.
Mage: Mage is a gender-neutral term; a Google Image search returns roughly the same amount of men as it does women. Mage is derived from Latin magus, meaning "magician," which was in turn borrowed from a Persian word meaning the same thing. Magus is also used in magical communities, but I see it more applied to people in positions of power within magical organisations. Same meaning as above.
(Magical/Witchcraft) practitioner: This is the gender-neutral term I tend to prefer. This emphasises what we're doing more than what we are.
Occultist: Occultist seems to be a rarer term, and is defined as "someone who studies/practices the occult."
Magician: Another rarer term that I see with a lot of older ceremonial magic groups. Often not used to not be confused with stage-magicians, but can still be used to describe spiritual magic.
Specific paths: If you're referring to a group of people who follow a specific path connected to witchcraft, opt for the name of that path. If you're referring to Wiccans, use "Wiccans." If you're referring to Hellenics, use "Hellenics."
Specific practices: Again, if you're referring to a group of people who are doing a specific magical practice, use that practice. If you're talking about astrology, use "astrologer." If you're talking to people who worship demons, use "demonolater."
As with “witch,” just because a gender bias exists, does not mean that you can’t use a term. There’s no reason to stop a woman from being a warlock if they resonate with the term, just as there’s no reason to stop a man from being a witch. But if you’re looking for alternatives with a masculine or neutral gender bias, here you go.
I welcome any additions to the list, if anyone has them.

LED Light Cleansing
Tumblr media
Okay so I am a spoonie witch and as I have autism and depression it can be hard to have the energy to get up and cleanse my space all the time.
But I wondered why my space doesn’t need cleansed as frequently as it used to, and then it hit me.
I was using my LED strip lights as cleansing. I associate different color lights with different properties, using the whole color magic associations I learned. So I without thinking about it too much thought oh when I turn on this light color, it does this.
This can be utilized in your practice!
I commonly use orange for balancing the energy, creativity boosts, positivity, helping balance emotions(which can prevent gross stagnant energy), and bringing in warm positive energy overall
I use white a lot too! This is used for mental clarity, cleansing and purification of the energy, and calm
You can use any color with your intentions and the properties, but using LED strip lights can be a game changer if you have them on hand. While I wouldn’t suggest replacing all cleansing ever with keeping them on 24/7, it helps a lot!
