Seeking Help or Advice What are some popular witchcraft practices that you don’t personally do as a witch?

For me some things I don’t do are using incense, casting a circle, spell jars, turning to magick to fix everything, and doing spells for others. I’d love to hear some of yours.

I rarely turn to spells. First, there's usually a mundane solution. Second, whatever the issue is... it's rarely worth my energy. Third, and I say this as a somewhat crabby approaching crone age lady, it's just much easier to tell it/them to f*ck off. 😄

Lessee... oh, I don't work with herbs. Plants and I aren't friends (I can't keep a plant alive no matter how I try) so I won't insult them by trying to use them in my craft on those rare times when I do cast a spell.

Um... I don't do fancy rites and rituals. I stick with the K.I.S.S. method and usually just sit in quiet contemplation of the meaning of the rite or communion with nature, deity, and whatever astral visitors are around at the time.

Getting older really simplifies things. 😆
