Product Information

Amythyst includes a few basic spells and rituals that will allow the reader a better understanding of what it is to be a witch. We take huge amounts of pride in offering highly requested services which always leave you wanting to come back for the Magick that is The Grey Witch. Gray magic incorporates all the beneficial purposes of white magic but also works towards ridding the world of evils. This is a very beginner book and a general good place to start for people just getting into the craft.

A rather different meaning to the term was given by Roy Bowers, a British Neopagan witch of the 1960s. This came with a shift in my mentality and understanding that I don’t have to become numb to my pain; I need to embrace it and give it the same attention and love as I would give to myself during times of joy. Green witches respect nature above all else (although many other types of witches work with nature too! There are grey witches who only use white (beneficial) magick until a situation is dire enough to use black (harmful) magick.

Yes, it is euphoric watching someone's life fall into ruin after they've broken the lives of others, but this will only fill you with more hostile feelings and cause you to become corrupt and power-hungry. Those concepts are for very modern wiccan-types (wicca is only 80 years old), concepts for witches who live in fear of their place in history, and in fear of their own power. However, a grey witch seeks no outside approval; what matters to them is how they feel when inspired at the moment and how they process their inner healing.

With a historical figure as substantial as Dickens recognizing the entity of the grey witch, there is little doubt that she is a very real part of the legacy of witchcraft.She understands and respects the merits of dark arts and has likely invoked an infernal deity or two in the past. I have made a similar post to this one on Tumblr, but many people have asked me how I avoid the backlash of curses, handle the karmic implications, and overrall just why and how I use curses, and so I thought I'd make a crash-course guide for the witches of this subreddit.

To wrap this up, I’ll say this: I think Amythyst Raine had a great idea, but the execution could have been done much better. Today, many people from many different spiritual traditions and cultures are reclaiming the word “witch. In other words there's no theatrics here; just solid, reliable, constructive information that the reader can either file away mentally or make the personal choice to use as they choose.They allow themselves to be happy but leave enough room for bad feelings to run their courses, such as jealousy, anger, and sadness.

Just like the name sounds, a hereditary witch is someone who inherited their powers or their practice through their family line. Whether this means working with both white and black magick, dabbling in light and dark spectrums, or simply following a neutral path depends on how the witch defines grey witchcraft for herself.

Personally, I have been Working for over 20 years, but even I read some things I didn't know about (having never been a part of a coven), and I will definitely be incorporating some things into my practice. These books, though informative and well written as they may be, have totally missed the spirit of the gray witch - who she really is, how she relates to the world of shadow and light, and exactly what she's willing to do to stand her ground. Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections—they may also appear in recommendations and other places.Even love-and-light witches I know see why some people use curses and see their usefulness, even if they don't use them themselves. Grey witches feel the power when recognizing the power in both sides of things instead of suppressing one part to succumb to another.
