"How does one practice as a sea witch?": An open dialogue
Hello! Something I've been thinking about today is, what does it mean to be a sea witch? Namely, what does one's practice look like as a sea witch?
🐚 What tool(s), ingredient(s), and/or magical actions does a sea witch use in spells?
🐠 What deity(ies), if any, does a sea witch use in their practice?
🫧 Do their visualization(s) and meditations involve sounds of the ocean, music that invokes imagery of the sea, viewing pictures or videos of the ocean, holding seashells or other items collected from previous beach visits?
🐡 Do sea witches invoke just the powers of the sea in their craft, or any body(ies) of water?
💧 Does one look to just the ocean for one's power, or things related to the ocean like sea creatures, seaweed, etc.?
These are the questions that inspired this post! I'd love to hear from other sea witches what their practices look like. If you're a sea witch, feel free to share however much or however little of your sea witchcraft you'd like. 💙
To ease us into things, I'll start with my own craft:
🌊 Whenever I'm feeling decalibrated, or if I know a full moon is coming up, I go to the beach! I'm lucky to live close by, so I make the trip whenever I can. Nothing has made me feel more powerful as a with than dancing under the full moon light on the beach and hearing the waves crash fervently onto the shore.
🌊 I collect items from the beach whenever I can - mainly seashells, driftwood, and sand. I thank the ocean for whatever I collect, and I make sure to pick up any trash I see while I'm collecting as a way of giving back!
🌊 When gathering energy, I'll imagine I'm underwater sitting on the sea floor, and I have a small bubble in my hands. As I chant, I imagine the bubble growing bigger until there's enough energy inside it to envelope me inside it.
🌊 I invoke the power of the sea (and water in general) when casting spells.
🌊 I write runes or sigils on seashells.
🌊 I keep seashells and a vial of sand on my altar. The seashell is nice to hold during meditations.
🌊 I use sand in my cauldron when I'm burning incense or spell ingredients.
🌊 I have a mermaid-themed tarot deck! I connected with it right away & it has yet to steer me wrong in any reading.
🌊 I made a playlist on Spotify with songs that remind me of the water! Some songs contain bubbles, ocean waves, and sea life sound effects, which is so so so useful when I'm meditating.
I'm excited to hear from my fellow sea witches what they do in their practices! And I hope this post helps anyone tinkering with the idea of sea witchcraft! 😊

If you're interested in weather witchcraft and magic, this book is your best friend, hands down:
No, it's not a "witchy" book, but I can't recommend it highly enough. It will teach you the basics of reading the weather around you at any given moment and help you learn to identify patterns that forecast what is to come - all without the help of a radar or fancy weather gadgets. This can help inform your practice and ritual timing. I have it in digital, audio, and now physical forms because it's really just THAT good.
