At the end of it, I know that the projects I do take on – be they jars of herbs or small rituals, necklaces made of certain stones or clothes woven just so – are few and far between. If I light a candle and say a few words, they are more likely to be a prayer than an incantation. Surely that’s not Witchcraft.
@TheWildHuntNews what an absolutely fantastic piece. I resonate with it greatly as someone who does identify as being a witch but seems to interpret "magic" much less literally/supernaturally than I see a lot of people describe their magic. I very rarely perform anything that could be understood as a "spell" & although intensely interested in herbalism I treat claims from random online tincture sellers with extreme skepticism. I practice divination but I can't say it's "predicting the future" because that's not correct.
Of course these are also reasons why I feel at a distance from some other ritualists who don't describe themselves as witches, too, but never mind that — again, this post is really good.
