Show notes

Maps major witchcraft paths and labels so beginners can tell Wicca, folk magic, ceremonial magic, secular practice, reconstructionism and eclectic craft apart.

In this episode:

  • Wicca is not a synonym for witchcraft
  • Folk magic belongs to specific places and communities
  • Ceremonial systems have their own histories
  • Eclectic practice requires context and restraint
  • Choose practices before choosing a brand

Series approach: The Witching Hour distinguishes documented history, research, folklore, symbolic practice, personal experience and metaphysical belief. Educational discussion is not medical, legal or financial advice.
