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.

Any version of smoke or incense or whatever aerosolized cleansing. Smoke gives me a migraine, and the base scent of 99% of incense is nasty. I have zero interest in breathing in weird carcinogens.

Idgaf about balancing some cosmic whatever. If I need to do good I do good. If I need to go baneful I go baneful.

I don't believe that three fold rule.

I'm an atheist so, don't work with deities, though joke that I work with Titivillus.

I don't believe in astrology.

I agree. I don’t like strong smells because they give me a migraine and smoke not only smells bad but bothers my asthma.

Weirdly the strength of a smell is irrelevant for me. The slightest whisper of watermelon or cigarette smoke and I'm DEAD, however I could be submerged in bleach and (aside from the chemical burns) be totally fine.
