What kind of witch are you? Are you a good witch or a bad witch? In popular culture, witches are often portrayed as either wicked and evil or as virtuous and benevolent. But in reality, witchcraft is an incredibly diverse practice with a wide range of beliefs and traditions. One of the most well-known types of witches is the "white witch" or "good witch". These witches typically use their powers for the greater good and are often associated with healing, protection, and guidance. They may use herbs, crystals, and other natural elements in their spells and rituals. White witches often follow the Wiccan religion, which focuses on worshiping nature and practicing magic in harmony with the earth.

Hedge Witch, Kitchen Witch, and Green Witch are well known, but there’s a lot more that you may not be aware of. Today we’re going to find out what type of witch you are! I’ve compiled a list of nine different types of witches so you can figure out which one best suits you! If none of them resonate with you or you don’t want to put a label on yourself, that is 100% okay. You do you!
You may resonate with one now, but that could completely change in the future. Witchcraft is ever-evolving and changing, and it will depend on where you’re in life and what kind of practice you’re working with. Not sure if you’re a witch? Here are 20 examples you’re a real witch.
1. Hedge Witch
A person who crosses over the hedge to the spirit world. It’s someone who works in the liminal space. It’s a witch that likes to work and commune with Spirits, whether that is the Flora and Fauna of the area or the spirit world.
Hedge witchery is nature-based. Most hedge witches perform day-to-day small actions and magic that help themselves and other people. There is a deep connection to home, hearth, nature, and animals. With the hedge witch practice, there is a deep connection to divination and communicating with the spirits to bring their messages to our world.
2. Green Witch (aka garden witch or forest witch)
The element of earth is incredibly important to these witches. They probably have an amazing herb garden and an affinity for keeping plants alive and thriving. They also tend to know each plant’s nature and how it can be used to help, heal, or hex. This type of witch likes to walk barefoot in nature and have a deep connection to the land they’re on. Green witches have an affinity for working with all things closely connected with nature.
These natural loving witches can be seen cleaning rubbish from nature to ensure everything stays thriving. Your bookshelf is likely filled with books on herbs or local plants.
3. Kitchen Witch
As the title suggests, this witch thrives in the kitchen. They know spells, potions, tinctures, and concoctions that you can ingest or drink. These are the people you want making you teas and healing chicken soup. Kitchen witches infuse magic into everything they make.
Kitchen witches know all of the practical things to add to your practice to cure just about anything. Many kitchen witches are natural caretakers and tend to look after everyone around them. Their kitchen is likely stocked full of spices, herbs, and their biggest tools are their kitchen utensils.
4. Divination Witch
This is the witch who knows everything and anything to do with divination. This includes Tarot or Oracle readings, tea leaves, coffee scrying, pendulums, and crystal balls. Anything to divine or see the foresee the future is going to be in this witch’s toolbox.
They tend to have a very close connection with their spirit guides and use their intuition above all else. They can read a person’s energy just by being in the same room and can usually see through what people are saying. They’re never without their divination tools. They’re a master at unlocking the keys of cartomancy systems for high magic.
5. Norse Witch (aka Viking Witch or Rune Witch)
The Norse witch is drawn to working with the Norse Pantheon. They practice nordic shamanic rights and ceremonies. You may also find the Norse Witch is someone who is drawn to the way of the warrior. Vocal magic is a gift and art form that they work hard for.
The Norse witch will work with runes in all of their practices, not only as a way to divine but also to work with their gods and their language.
6. Elemental Witch
This is the witch who works with the elements as the primordial practice; the earth, air, fire, and water. They use the elements when they’re casting spells and might have an affinity for a specific type of element. An elemental witch can tap into each element’s creative and destructive magick and power, understanding one cannot live without the other and how to harness that in their own magical practice.
Elemental witches also like to bring all the elements together in harmony within themselves and the world around them. It’s someone who understands each of the elements and how it played a part in their spiritual journey and magical practice.
7. Sea Witch (aka Water Witch or River Witch)
This type of witch is a water baby. They’re drawn to all bodies of natural water and even swimming pools. This is someone who adores everything to do with water; the creatures that live there and the ecosystem that are attached to it. They have a deep connection to the tides of the moon and weather magic.
They will have a beautiful collection of shells, river stones, or any treasures that have washed up. You’ll catch the sea witch performing their rituals by the water or in a storm.
8. Traditional Witch (aka Wiccan Witch)
This is the witch that has taken the path of the Wiccan but also practices witchcraft. They follow the Wiccan wheel of the year and also celebrates the sabbats. They follow the rules of Wicca, including “do no harm”. They’re the type of witch who looks into old folk magic, especially of Europe. They love doing tons of research on the lineages of witches around the world. They have a great understanding of folk magic.
9. Eclectic Witch
The eclectic witch encompasses all different types of magic practices. I identify as an eclectic witch. They don’t adhere to any specific kind of practice, religion, or belief. They take what feels right for them and uses that in their magic. The only “rule” is you have to have more than one type of affinity or practice in your craft. If you find yourself drawn to more than one type of witchcraft, then you may be an eclectic witch.
Remember, babes, no one gets to tell you what type of witch you are. Whatever you choose should deeply resonate with you. I hope you found this interesting.

Estimated Read Time: 6 Minutes While it may be hard to believe, witchcraft has become a desirable skill set. Since it is no longer frowned upon, people from different spiritual backgrounds and walks of life choose to practice it. But although witches are everywhere in pop culture, there isn’t enough reliable information about the different types of witches there are. For this reason, we will cover the most common types of witches and their unique aspects. Who knows, perhaps you have already crossed paths with some of them. To find out if you have, stick around!
White witches often follow the Wiccan religion, which focuses on worshiping nature and practicing magic in harmony with the earth. On the other hand, there is the "dark witch" or "black witch". These witches are often associated with curses, hexes, and other forms of dark magic.
Augury Witch
Augury witches focus on foretelling future events and delivering prophecies. For this reason, they have another name — “diviners.” Like shamans, augury witches can serve as a guiding light for those embarking on a spiritual journey. Because their specialty is gleaning information through omens and symbols, people often think of these witches as interpreters of the divine. Augury witches perform divinations in an altered state of consciousness. To achieve this, they use different items to harness magick energy. While most augury witches call upon tarot cards and crystals in their practice, some include animals as well.
They may use their powers for personal gain or to harm others. However, it's important to note that not all dark witches are evil. Some may use their powers to seek justice or to protect themselves from harm. There are also many other types of witches that fall outside of the white and dark witch dichotomy. For example, there are elemental witches who specialize in working with the elements of nature, such as air, fire, water, and earth. There are also kitchen witches who use their magic in cooking and domestic tasks. Green witches are connected to nature and focus on herbalism and plant magic. And there are many more. Ultimately, what kind of witch you are is up to you. Witchcraft is a deeply personal practice, and each witch may have their own unique beliefs, practices, and areas of focus. Whether you consider yourself a good witch, a bad witch, or something in between, the most important thing is to practice with intention, respect, and a commitment to personal growth and responsibility. So ask yourself, what kind of witch are you? And remember, there is no right or wrong answer. Embrace your unique path, embrace your powers, and embrace the magic that lies within you..

"What kind of witch are you" had so much potential, but it failed to deliver in some aspects. While I appreciated the unique premise and intriguing world-building, I found the execution to be lacking. The writing style could have been more polished and engaging, and the dialogue felt forced and unnatural at times. The romantic subplot also felt rushed and lacking in chemistry. However, the book did have its redeeming qualities, particularly in its exploration of themes like power and identity. Ultimately, though, I was left wanting more from this book.
