Beginner's Guide To Witchcraft

Types of magick

There's a lot more but here are a few different types of magick.

Glamour

It's an illusion based on a projection of one's magickal energy altering awareness of a physical form in order to trigger certain emotions. It makes objects and/or living things different from what they really are.

Binding

To bind is to keep someone from doing something. Almost like putting a wall between them and the chosen thing. It is not the most recommended practice. This is very restrictive magick and is often very unethical if used for the wrong reason.

Candle

Often used in spells and rituals. It can be influenced by the shape, colour, scent and number of candles.

Crystal/stone

Can be very diverse. There are many different crystals and stones that each have different meanings.

Dream

Works with dreams. Through dream magick, you can connect to the hidden secrets of your mind and to realms you can't access through the physical.

Elemental

One of the less commonly used magick outside of rituals. It can be used for invoking the energy of the elements for their specific magicks.

Herbal

Uses herbs. Very diverse. Each herb has different meanings so it works for basically anything you want.

Knot

A very ancient practice that usually is based on the number of knots tied on a cord, usually with purposes for each knot.

Healing

Can be accomplished by a variety of different methods.

Poppet

Usually poppets are made of cloth and are activated with a possession, whether that be an object, hair, etc, to attach the energy of a person to the poppet.

Weather

For most, weather magick is the most difficult types of magick to work. It works with controlling the elements in order to change the weather. It is NOT to be taken lightly as weather systems in one area usually can affect the whole world in a domino effect.
