Hello! I was wondering if you could explain secular witchcraft to me? I'm kind of having trouble using context...
Secular Witchcraft is witchcraft without religion involved in the witchcraft, that’s it.
It says nothing about what you believe, only about what you do. I qualify that I am an agnostic secular witch, but there can be pagan or Christian or Jewish Secular Witches. That would just mean that their witchcraft practice was separate from their religion practices and beliefs.
Most secular witches probably came to witchcraft through sometime like Wicca, as a religion that includes witchcraft, a religon with many followers who conflate witchcraft and Wicca to mean the same thing, which it is not. I say probably because Wicca is the most obvious display of witchcraft with the most books written about it. I’d bet that most secular witches ditched things they read and built up personal practices to suit them rather than have a tradition shape them.
You will not find books on secular witchcraft, but you can find practices and methods that you can weave into your own practice. That’s what’s on this blog, things I as an agnostic secular witch find interesting or think could be useful.
