Witchcraft is not one thing. It never has been.
Even within a single tradition, no two practitioners work the same way. But over centuries of folk practice and decades of modern revival, certain distinct types have emerged. Recognisable not by rigid rules or formal initiation, but by the energy they are drawn to, the tools they reach for, the part of the world (seen and unseen) they feel most at home in.
What follows is not an exhaustive taxonomy. It is a field guide. Some witches will recognise themselves immediately in one entry. Others will find themselves scattered across five. Most practitioners are a blend, with one or two threads running stronger than the rest.
Read with an open hand. Take what fits.
