Pointy hat. Broomstick. Wart-covered nose. Witch? Maybe…or maybe not. Contrary to popular belief, the witches you’ve read about in fairytales and seen in movies aren’t a true depiction of witches and Wiccan practices (as you probably know if you’re a witch already). Anyone can be a witch—even you!
But how do you know what type of witch you’d be or are? Would you harness your magic with plants, water, crystals, or delicious treats? All you have to do to find out is answer a few questions about your personality and witchy vibe.

Types of Witches & Their Powers
When someone says “witch,” you may think of a woman with a long, wart-covered nose, pointy hat, and ear-piercing cackle. But what if we told you this broom-riding hag isn’t an accurate depiction of a witch, but a fictional stereotype?
Believe it or not, anyone can be a witch, and you don’t need a pointy nose or hideous grin to meet the criteria. So, what do you need to be a witch? Witches see the world through a dimensional lens and open mind. They have a passion for healing others and protecting the natural world. Although they still brew potions and perform spells, it isn’t all about standing over a cauldron singing songs of toil and trouble.
Each type of witch performs witchcraft differently, depending on where they draw their energy. Many witches label their craft or beliefs to find like-minded people and practices within the witch community, and you can too! Knowing what type of witch you resonate with the most can help you dive deeper into your practice and expand your witchy knowledge to best serve you.
There are many types and sub-types of witches out there, but here are the most popular:
Sea Witches are practically mermaids. They love all things aquatic and use water or seashells in their practice.
Kitchen Witches enjoy healing others with food. They can often be found in the kitchen whipping up a delicious treat or soothing tonic.
Cosmic Witches love all things astrology and astronomy. They practice under the stars and pay close attention to celestial events.
Green Witches focus on nature and healing. They love caring and tending to plants and often grow their own spell and ritual ingredients.
Hedge Witches follow their own witchy path and prefer practicing alone. They’re drawn to the natural elements but don’t necessarily have a green thumb.
Eclectic Witches do a little bit of everything. They love collecting magical and curious objects and like practicing their craft in new places.
Hearth Witches like to cultivate welcoming spaces. They often use candles and incense to cleanse the air and welcome positive energy.
Elemental Witches focus their practices on earth, air, fire, and water. They believe each element has a specific connection to planetary positions and everyday occurrences.
Crystal Witches have a deep connection with crystals, gems, and stones. They use crystal magic to amplify their powers to cleanse auras and manifest opportunities.
