Day Five

Prompt: How long have you been practicing witchcraft and why do you think you kept at it?

I've been practicing witchcraft, to some extent, since I was about 12 or 13. I didn't get serious about it until I graduated high school though so, I guess I'd say that I've been learning about witchcraft for 15 years and actively practicing witchcraft for 10. I did do some spells and definitely did some spirit work in high school though...I actually just asked my partner and they said that the distinction doesn't really make much sense, so...15 years! That's over half of my life.

I kept at it because I genuinely enjoy it. I don't do spells as much, just because I really only do them out of necessity (ie binding to stop somebody from harassing my partner and I), but I definitely do divination pretty regularly and try to do spirit work whenever I can. Magic is also part of my pagan practice, though the magic for that is different than what most people think of when they think of witchcraft.
