Sea Witch: Water Magic & Moon Rituals

In modern witchcraft, “witch types” are simply ways to describe what your practice naturally centres on. They are not ranks, rules, or exclusive boxes. Many people blend paths, or shift over time.

Sea witches draw power from water in all its forms: ocean, river, rain, mist, bath, and bowl. Their craft is cleansing, intuitive, and emotionally intelligent, often synced to moon phases and the rhythm of release and return.
