The Way of Witch Mission Statement
The Way of Witch features emerging voices from the growing witchcraft, pagan and magickal/occult communities. Every month, we provide thought-provoking content that helps witches along all stages of their paths; that supports them in their journeys toward self-healing and self-sovereignty.
Equally important, the articles we publish should engage, inform, teach and entertain. By all means, weave us a tale around our themes! We love a good story paired with a ritual, recipe, sigil, spell, tarot spread, writing prompt or other feature that engages the reader.
By and large, our online community consists of fully engaged witches, pagans and magickal practitioners. So our written content should share the tales of our magickal experiences and hard fought knowledge with our readership. In short, if you haven’t lived the magick, this is not the right place for you to publish! Above everything else, we value authenticity.

The Way of Witch fosters an inclusive community featuring the voices of witches of all walks of life. We welcome contributions from witches and pagans of all races, religions, ages, backgrounds the LGBTQAII+ community as well as chronically ill and disabled practitioners and those living with mental illness. As a result, no bigotry of any kind will be tolerated: that means no racism, sexism, transphobia, biphobia, homophobia or xenophobia or other hatred.

Hi! I saw your post. I am witchy writer with my current articles on analogmagazine.home.blog. I am also a philosophy and religions major writing my thesis about the witch woman in paganism, as well as other metaphysical topics. These topics include The God Problem, Personal Identity, and the nature of The Self.
Much of my work independent from academia is combine with mythology and witchcraft. This includes the different forms of deities, and the first creed “know thy self”. I enjoy combining the philosophical, the mystical, and reality.
Personally, I work mainly with tarot, astrology candle magic, and Hellenic deities. I also own a art witch etsy shop called The Witchere. I would love to hear more about the witchy writing opportunity and can send sample works if necessary. I have linked one of my articles from Analog.
