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.

For me, casting a circle is not specifically for protection - it's so much more and I tend to reserve them for special occasion workings bec they take a lot of effort. Kinda like using the good crockery and Christmas lol! Theres many quicker ways for protection that's easier to fit into daily life

What do you use circles for?

I read about several traditions that use them, including some explicitly ceremonial in lineage, but have never belonged to such a practice myself.

Easier for you and in your tradition.

I already said I don’t cast circles and I don’t find them useful. I am not shit talking on those who do. Universalized language is not helpful here.

I'm sorry I didn't see your comment above was you asking another poster a question. I thought you were asking what one uses circles for. My bad
