There Are 4 Types of Witches—Here’s Yours, Based on Your Zodiac

Fire Signs: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius

Fire signs start the zodiac wheel of the year (thank you, Aries) and possess a certain kind of action, force and assertion that pairs well with the cosmos. If you’re a fire sign you may consider exploring cosmic witchcraft as it aligns well with your curious, creative and exploratory nature in the zodiac. Cosmic witchcraft is the study of, you guessed it, the skies—think astronomy, astrology, tracking the moon’s monthly cycle, the equinoxes and solstices.

Astrology and our planetary cycles are wonderful tools to track and predict the ebbs and flows of energy that occur as natural, repeatable cycles in our grand cosmos. Have you ever wondered things like, why do I feel so tired some parts of the month or day? Or why do I feel so energetic? Have you tracked your moods and energy levels with the moon’s cycle or even your monthly cycle? When you start to pay attention to the lessons of astrology and the cosmic forecast you can better plan and live your life from a place that works with the magic of the universe’s natural rhythms. It’s accessible magic for anyone willing to study, learn and observe. Start by tracking your next month from New Moon to Full Moon each day and observing your energy levels or patterns (hint: November’s New Moon kicks off on November 19^th in Scorpio). 

Water Signs: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

The heart of the home is always said to be the kitchen, and the heart of the zodiac tends to center around hearth, home, family and transformation of the water signs. What better kind of alchemy than infusing raw ingredients into wholesome, deliberately crafted food that puts a spell of love, wealth and health on all who dine? Kitchen witchery is preparing food that is deliberately infused with intention. It's an age-old practice because it is a powerful, simple approach to magic that is accessible to everyone. Think: a loved one making you chicken soup when you’re sick. Black-eyed peas to ring in a prosperous New Year. A lovingly baked cake on your birthday. The maker creates with deliberate thoughts of love and joy for the one they create for.

Right now is a great season to try your hand at kitchen witchery as it pairs so perfectly with the fall and upcoming winter. Many of the seasonal items that are plentiful right now are the exact staples of this type of fun, easy magic. Some basics include apples (love, healing, wisdom), salt (protective, purifying) and nutmeg (clarity, abundance). 

Air Signs: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius

Air signs embody intelligence, grace, and a willingness to see and so things outside the status quo. Your curious and vibrant personality is a wonderful match for the magic of crystal witchcraft. The world of crystals appeases your stylish streak (air signs have great style!) with the ability to cultivate a crystal collection that looks fabulous in your home or office. You may already have a small crystal collection going. Beyond the aesthetics however, is the deep knowledge of the crystal’s geological and energetic properties. The vast and comprehensive knowledge required to master the world of crystal witchcraft is an ideal match for the curious nature of air signs. Crystal witches utilize the energetic properties of our mineral and gemstone world to amplify their intentions and imbue their physical space with the metaphysical healing, protective and abundance-attracting qualities in our crystal companion world.

If you’re new to crystals, don’t feel overwhelmed or compelled to know it all. Ease your way in with some introductory courses, books and a visit to your local crystal shop to start with the basics and work your way up from there.
