An Eclectic witch is a practitioner of witchcraft who draws from various traditions, beliefs, and practices to create a personalized and evolving path, rather than adhering to a single, specific tradition. They might incorporate elements from Wicca, folk magic, ceremonial magic, or other traditions, adapting their practice to suit their own spiritual needs and preferences.
- Wicca: Aspects of Wiccan rituals, beliefs, or deities.
- Folk Magic: Traditional healing practices, herbalism, or spellwork.
- Ceremonial Magic: Structured rituals, symbolism, and working with spirits or deities.
- Nature-Based Practices: Connecting with the earth, herbs, and natural energies.
- Divination: Using tarot, oracle cards, or other tools for guidance.
- Other Spiritual Paths: Incorporating elements from other spiritual or religious traditions.
These witches are particularly drawn to the art of divination and often have a strong intuition and connection to their spirit guides. They use divination to explore their inner world, make decisions, and gain a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them.
A divination witch specializes in using various methods to gain insight into the future or hidden knowledge, often through tools like tarot cards, runes, or scrying. They are skilled in interpreting symbols and connecting with their intuition to understand messages from the spiritual realm. While divination is a common practice within witchcraft, not all witches are divination witches.

Green witchcraft is a branch of magic that revolves around nature. To a green witch, the natural world is alive and teeming with magical energies to be harnessed. While each might have their own specialization or unique practice, green witches frequently work with plants, animals, crystals or stones, the elements, and the seasons to craft their spells.
Green witchcraft encompasses a full range of possible spell workings, from health and prosperity, to empowerment and joy, to warding and protection, and much more.
A green witch’s relationship with the Earth is sacred—it’s an important source of intimacy, safety, and connection. Because of this, many green witches also happen to be environmentalists. They are passionate about transforming our relationship with the natural world and prioritize sustainable living.
- Connect with nature. The basis for all of your workings as a green witch is your relationship with the Earth—so nurture it intentionally!
- Build an altar, witch’s table, or sacred space to anchor your practice. You might feel inspired to include found objects from the natural world, stones or crystals, living plants or dried herbs, images or small statues of animals, and so on.
- Meditate with a certain crystal or herb and notice how its energy feels. Burning herbal incense can help ground your energy while meditating.
- Study the uses of plants and record your favorites, along with your own experiences with or ideas about them. You may wish to begin a grimoire (a self-written book of spells or magical information) for this purpose.
- Learn about the ecology of the land you live on. You might also look into what types of environmental stress your local ecosystems are experiencing and/or getting involved with local conservation work, activism, or cleanups.
- Tune in to the season you’re in and notice how it shapes the natural world. Consider learning more about the Wheel of the Year or living by the rhythm of the seasons.
