Think witches only exist in fairy tales? Think again. Real witches are everywhere—living in cities and suburbs, raising families, running businesses, and tending gardens under the moonlight. And no, we don’t melt in the rain.

Modern witches are spiritual seekers, intuitive healers, and magic-makers reclaiming ancient wisdom while reshaping it for today’s world. We light candles with intention, track lunar phases, and yes—sometimes, we do own a few cauldrons (purely optional). The truth? Witchcraft today is more alive, diverse, and empowering than ever before.

Who Are Today’s Witches?

Witches today come from all walks of life. We are artists, educators, entrepreneurs, parents, students, and spiritual practitioners. Some follow long-standing traditions like Wicca or Hoodoo, while others craft entirely personal practices. What connects us isn’t a single path—but a shared reverence for nature, intention, and the unseen.

Modern witches are:

• Diverse: There’s no one look, background, or belief system.

• Inclusive: Witchcraft is open to all genders, cultures, and identities.

• Rooted in Intention: Whether casting a spell or stirring tea, it’s the meaning behind the act that gives it power.

You might pass a witch on the street and never know it—and that’s the point. We’re not hiding in shadows; we’re weaving magic into everyday life.

What Do We Actually Do?

Forget Hollywood’s version of witchcraft. Modern witches don’t need flying broomsticks or CGI. Our power lies in how we work with energy, nature, intuition, and ritual.

Witchcraft in practice often looks like:

• Honoring the changing seasons and moon cycles

• Performing energy cleansing for home or self

• Speaking affirmations and setting powerful intentions

• Divining with tarot or pendulums for clarity

• Working healing spells or manifestation rituals

• Deepening spiritual connection through meditation, ancestor work, or deity devotion

For many witches, daily life is the spell. From preparing herbal teas to whispering morning blessings, it’s the intention that turns the mundane into magic.

Tools of the Trade

You don’t need a cupboard full of crystals or a wand collection to be a witch (though they’re fun!). Witchcraft tools are simply extensions of your practice—ways to focus, direct, and amplify energy.

Popular tools include:

• Tarot & Oracle Cards – For divination, reflection, and guidance

• Herbs & Oils – For spells, teas, and energy work

• Journals – For tracking moon phases, dreams, rituals, and shadow work

• Crystals – For energetic support and intention-setting

• Astrology Charts – For working with planetary energies and timing

Most witches build their collection over time—or skip tools altogether and work directly with energy and intuition.

Community Magic

Gone are the days when witches had to hide in silence. Thanks to the internet and social platforms, modern witches connect, learn, and grow together more than ever.

Witchcraft communities today include:

• Virtual Covens – Private groups where members share spells, support, and rituals

• Online Workshops & Classes – Covering everything from moon magic to herbalism

• Instagram/TikTok Witches – Sharing daily magic, humor, and wisdom

• Witchcraft Subscriptions & Newsletters – Like The Witch Club Creations, offering ongoing magical support

Magic thrives in community—and there’s nothing more powerful than witches uplifting one another.

Interview Feature: A Day in the Life of a Cottage Witch

Witch Club Creations Subscriber Spotlight

Meet Marissa, a Cottage Witch from British Columbia and longtime Witch Club Creations subscriber.

“I wake up early, brew lavender tea, and write in my moon journal while my cat stretches in the morning light. My practice is grounded in nature—I forage herbs when I can, cook with intention, and align my home with seasonal energy. Every corner of my house is a spell in progress.”

“My favorite ritual? A weekly hearth blessing. I light a small fire in my kitchen cauldron (a cast iron pot), offer herbs, and whisper thanks for nourishment and warmth. It keeps my home aligned with peace, abundance, and protection.”

“Being a modern witch isn’t about being mystical 24/7—it’s about choosing presence, power, and meaning in the everyday.”
