Working with the energies within ourselves, the natural world, the spirit world and the Divine, is Witchcraft at its core. When we do magick, we are not only using our own energy, but are also tapping into either the benevolent energy of Creation/Source/the Divine etc, or the darker energies that exist in the Universe and within ourselves. Aspects of any spiritual and magickal practices that have meaning to the Witch are what make each Witch’s Eclectic practice unique.Any unauthorized usage of the text without express written permission of the publisher is a violation of the author’s copyright and is illegal and punishable by law. Uniquely individual practices: An individual may be creating his or her own tradition of beliefs and practices, and because this system can't be defined as something else, it is usually defined as eclectic.

If you see auras, feel energies, love shiny things, and enjoy making grids, then you could be a crystal witch.
