Witchcraft:
There are six paths a witch can go down; cosmic witchcraft, divination witchcraft, kitchen witchcraft, green witchcraft, sea witchcraft and eclectic witchcraft.

A cosmic witch is a witch who is drawn to the cosmos, astrology and astronomy. They base their witchcraft around these things and often do their spells and rituals based around the alignment of the stars and planets.

Divination witches are more intune with spirits and energies around them. Their main tools are often tarot cards, pendulums, crystal balls and ouija boards. Unlike contrary beliefs ouija boards are used to speak to spirits by drawing the witch towards answers they have rather than moving it themselves. Divination witches also practice palmistry which is more commonly known as palm reading, as well as I Ching.

kitchen witches tend to one of the most creative paths of witchcraft as they make homemade offerings as well as do a lot of cooking. This is also one of the most commonly used paths of witchcraft, especially for those just starting out as they can very easily add it into a part of their daily routines. An example of this is when stirring drinks if you want to invoke something do it clockwise and if you want to banish something to stir counter clockwise.

Green witches or nature witches work with herbs and essential oils in their craft. This means that they often spend a lot of time in the outdoors in the greenhouse collecting their supplies.

Sea witches magic is based around water and they often have many tools for their craft. This means that they often take trips down to the beach or lakes to collect the different things they may need.

Eclectic witches are witches who use many different forms of witchcraft and choose the aspects that feel right to them making their craft extremely personalised.

Alchemists:
Alchemy is an ancestral science and art of achieving exteric (which is outer layers or material) and esoteric (which is inside of you, linking to spiritual vibes) perfection. Alchemy is to chemistry what Astrology is to Astronomy. Material Perfection is for metals like gold and for humans in the case of longevity. Spiritual perfection is gnosis or enlightenment. The term is now broadly applied to any process of positive transformation, partially in the realms of consciousness and the arts.
