Witchcraft is Free
Sorry for the odd title, but I’ve noticed a worrying trend in various witchcraft and magical circles. I’ve seen tons of witches, new and experienced, worry if they can practice witchcraft on a tight budget. This is mostly because of the materialism that is pervasive in our culture.
Think about it. When you think “witch,” you think about expensive crystals, athames, an extravagant altar, and more. The image of the witch has been tainted by marketers who want to make a quick buck selling the image of a witch.
Truthfully, witchcraft is free. The magic is within you. Tools and supplies can help amplify and focus your spells, but you can cast a spell with nothing more than your own willpower and some ingredients you can scavenge outside.
So please, don’t stress if you can’t afford all the things your favorite social media witches have. Those tools aren’t required to be a witch, and you aren’t less of a witch if all of your supplies come from discount shops or are found objects. Don’t let social media convince you that witchcraft is inaccessible.
