What Kind of Witch are you?
There are many ways in which you can be attuned to the world around you however you may find that you gravitate to one or possibly many different Witch arche types. Below are some of the common Archetypes you may understand and positively relate to.
What Type of Witch Are You? Kitchen, Cosmic & Hereditary Witch Signs
There is no single way to practice witchcraft.
Some people find magick in the kitchen.
Some cannot stop looking toward the Moon and stars.
Others feel as though spirituality, intuition, folk practices, or unusual experiences have followed their family for generations.
You may even recognize yourself in more than one path.
At Enchanted Crystals in Mesa, Arizona, we believe spiritual practice becomes most meaningful when it feels personal.
So—what kind of witch are you?

🌿 The Kitchen Witch
You may be a Kitchen Witch if your kitchen feels suspiciously close to an altar.
You love learning the traditional symbolism of herbs.
Cooking feels creative, comforting, and occasionally ceremonial.
You may find yourself:
saving interesting herbs and spices
collecting teas
keeping honey in the house at all times
learning about plants you see on walks
growing rosemary, basil, mint, or lavender
using essential oils around the home
stirring intentions into food or tea
becoming unusually excited about beautiful wooden spoons, jars, herbs, and cauldron-shaped pots
Kitchen witchcraft is built around a beautiful idea:
The sacred does not have to exist somewhere separate from ordinary life.
It can happen while making tea.
Baking bread.
Preparing soup.
Adding cinnamon to coffee.
Cleaning the house.
Cooking for someone you love.
Kitchen Witch Energy
Kitchen witches are often drawn to:
Earth • Herbs • Hearth • Nourishment • Seasons • Home • Abundance
Winter can feel especially magical because the home becomes a sanctuary.
Spring brings herbs, flowers, renewal, and the return of green things.
The Kitchen Witch moves naturally between the two:
Winter tends the flame.
Spring tends the garden.
A Kitchen Witch Ritual
Make a cup of tea.
Before drinking it, pause for a moment.
Choose an intention.
Perhaps:
Peace.
Abundance.
Healing.
Confidence.
Protection.
Stir slowly and allow the act itself to mark the intention.
The drink does not have to become something supernatural.
The ritual simply turns an ordinary moment into one you actually notice.
Explore Tea & Honey
Tea, honey, herbs, and beautiful kitchen rituals fit naturally into this path, which is why the Tea & Honey collection is such an easy place for a Kitchen Witch to wander. Enchanted Crystals currently has a dedicated Tea & Honey section alongside its Apothecary and Ritual Tools collections.
Explore Tea, Honey & Kitchen-Witch Treasures
Kitchen Witch Oils
Scent can completely change the atmosphere of a home.
A few especially beautiful options currently carried at Enchanted Crystals include:
Peppermint Oil — fresh, bright, and herbal.
Frankincense Oil Blend — traditionally connected with ritual and spiritual atmosphere.
Myrrh Oil Blend — earthy, resinous, and ancient-feeling.
Sandalwood Oil Blend — warm, grounding, and meditative.
The shop currently lists Peppermint, Frankincense, Myrrh, Sandalwood, and Blue Tansy oil blends among its beauty and ritual offerings.
Explore Essential Oils & Ritual Beauty
Just remember that essential oils should be used according to their individual safety instructions, especially around skin, children, and pets.
Crystals for the Kitchen Witch
Try:
Moss Agate — growth, nature, abundance
Green Aventurine — opportunity and prosperity
Citrine — abundance and confidence
Clear Quartz — intention and clarity
Mookaite Jasper — earth energy, instinct, courage
Mookaite is especially beautiful for an earth-centered witch because of its warm natural reds, creams, ochres, and traditional associations with Earth, courage, and plant correspondences such as sage, cedar, rosemary, cinnamon, and oak.
🌙 The Cosmic Witch
You may be a Cosmic Witch if you automatically ask someone:
What's your sign?
And five minutes later:
Do you know your Moon and Rising too?
Cosmic witches are fascinated by the relationship between spiritual symbolism and the sky.
You may:
follow Moon phases
study astrology
notice planetary transits
love zodiac symbolism
decorate with moons, stars, suns, and constellations
feel unusually alive at night
set intentions around lunar cycles
have strong opinions about Mercury retrograde
guess people's zodiac signs for fun
You may love the Sun.
But the Moon has your attention.
Cosmic Witch Energy
Cosmic witches are often drawn toward:
Astrology • Moon Magick • Divination • Intuition • Cycles • Timing • Stars
The sky becomes a giant symbolic clock.
New Moon?
Begin.
Full Moon?
Notice what has reached fullness.
Retrograde?
Review.
Eclipse?
Pay attention.
The goal does not have to be predicting every event.
Astrology can simply become a symbolic language for noticing patterns.
Your First Cosmic Witch Practice
Learn your:
Sun
Moon
Rising
Then explore:
Venus for love and attraction.
Mars for desire and action.
Mercury for communication.
Jupiter for expansion.
Saturn for discipline and maturity.
Before long, you stop saying:
“I'm just a Scorpio.”
Because there is an entire sky inside the chart.
The Perfect Cosmic Witch Companion
An astrology or oracle deck fits this path almost effortlessly.
Use one beside your birth chart or astrology journal and ask:
What energy deserves my attention today?
Instead of treating divination as a fixed prediction, let it become another symbolic mirror.

Crystals for the Cosmic Witch
Try:
Labradorite — intuition, mystery, transformation
Amethyst — spiritual awareness and reflection
Moonstone — cycles and lunar symbolism
Astrophyllite — cosmic appearance, transformation, self-discovery
Super Seven — grounding combined with higher spiritual symbolism
Astrophyllite is particularly fitting because its golden star-like formations resemble tiny celestial bursts captured inside stone. Enchanted Crystals' guide connects it with astrology, meditation, transformation, and intuitive work.
Super Seven is another beautiful Cosmic Witch stone because its metaphysical correspondences span Neptune, Pluto, Uranus, Jupiter, and Saturn—symbolically combining intuition, transformation, awakening, expansion, and grounding.

🔮 The Hereditary Witch
A Hereditary Witch is generally understood as someone whose spiritual, folk-magick, healing, intuitive, or witchcraft traditions are connected with family lineage.
This does not necessarily mean your grandmother stood over a cauldron wearing a pointed hat.
Family spirituality can be subtle.
Perhaps someone always knew which herbs to use.
A grandmother read cards.
A relative interpreted dreams.
Someone prayed over sick family members.
Another person always seemed unusually intuitive.
Animals were treated as spiritually meaningful.
Folk customs were practiced without anyone necessarily calling them “witchcraft.”
Sometimes the tradition is named.
Sometimes you only recognize it later.
Signs You May Feel Connected With a Hereditary Path
You may strongly identify with this path if:
spiritual practices appear throughout your family
folk remedies were passed between generations
several relatives are unusually intuitive
dreams have always been taken seriously
animals and nature hold special significance in the family
stories about omens, spirits, signs, or unusual experiences are common
you feel drawn toward learning what your ancestors believed or practiced
Some people also report experiences they interpret as claircognizance, lucid dreaming, astral experiences, or unusual intuitive connections with relatives.
These experiences can be personally meaningful without needing to treat every impression as objective fact.
A strong spiritual practice leaves room for mystery and discernment.
The Hereditary Witch & Nature
Many family-based spiritual traditions are closely tied to land.
Herbs.
Weather.
Animals.
Seasons.
Gardens.
Dreams.
The Moon.
Home.
Ancestor stories.
The path may feel less like learning something completely new and more like realizing:
I have seen pieces of this my entire life.
Crystals for Ancestral & Intuitive Work
Try:
Smoky Quartz — grounding and stability
Amethyst — dreams and spiritual reflection
Labradorite — intuition and transformation
Obsidian — truth, grounding, protection, shadow work
Super Seven — integration and spiritual growth
A grounding stone is especially useful when exploring intuitive practices because spirituality works best when curiosity is balanced with perspective.

Animal Symbolism & the Hereditary Witch
If animals repeatedly appear in family stories, dreams, or spiritual symbolism, you may naturally be drawn toward animal archetypes.
The Wolf is especially connected with themes of:
family • loyalty • instinct • protection • ritual • belonging
Enchanted Crystals' Wolf Spirit Animal guide explores the tension between independence and belonging beautifully—the wolf can move alone, but also understands the strength of its pack.
Read: Wolf Spirit Animal — Loyalty, Instinct & Protection
If your family energy feels more observant, secretive, clever, or adaptable, you may resonate more strongly with the Fox.

You Can Be More Than One Type of Witch
Most people will not fit perfectly inside a single category.
You may be a:
Kitchen + Cosmic Witch
who drinks herbal tea while studying the Moon.
A:
Cosmic + Hereditary Witch
whose family has always talked about dreams and intuition.
Or a:
Kitchen + Hereditary Witch
who realizes the recipes, herbs, seasonal traditions, and home remedies passed through the family were part of a spiritual relationship with nature all along.
Your path does not need a perfect label.
Labels are useful only when they help you recognize yourself.
