Genuine Question about Terminology
So I’m what I think of as a “practical witch” but that feels demeaning and icky I just don’t know how else to call it. So here’s a summary of how I practice I guess.
I have an alter to Loki and Persephone because their stories and history are seriously interesting and resonate with me personally. It has alters I burn incense on it everything but I treat it more like spicy psychology than a religious practice I guess. It’s where I remember the dead or think about how I want things to change while burning nice smelling things and has my cool collection of things.
I practice herb workings making my own teas and candles but it’s more in a medical herbology sense. Like cinnamon in teas and incense for vitality and strength but when I’m planning out recipes my first thought is benefits. Cinnamon is a great antioxidant and anti inflammatory that tastes and smells amazing.
I do other things like tarot and rune reading but again it first thought after I’m done is “oh what I’m taking away from that was unconscious reflection using outside medium for self reflection on…”
What would ya’ll call this kind of practice and thinking?
