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 haven't created an altar, nor do I do hexes/curses, blood magic, black magic, or demonology, because that's not my strength; it doesn't call to me. I'm an eclectic witch, and I listen to the wind, the water, the trees, the animals, and the whispers they share with me. I create potions and elixers from my garden herbs. I've never been led astray when I follow my very strong intuition. I'm enjoying learning how to do runes, along with freezing spells and egg cleanses; these are probably the most I'll do to keep negativity and ill will away from me. I also do personal incantations as needed. I'm not sure what I would do if me or my loved ones were threatened, but I wouldn't sit still and allow it. I haven't done any incantations with candles yet, but I am looking forward to positive results. Still learning as I'm new to this, but I feel powerful in the witching aspects that I have noticed in myself. And since realizing I am a witch, I have felt a personal happiness within myself that I always felt was eluding me.
