Gatekeeping is For Gardens, Not Witchcraft
Consider it a little taste of the unfiltered magic coming your way in The Chaos Chronicles...
Hey magical babes! As part of The Chaos Chronicles launch, I'm giving you a special sneak peek at one of our exclusive content series: "Witch, Please" - where we get real about issues in the witch community.
Starting next week, these spicy takes will only be available to Chaos Chronicles subscribers, but I wanted to share this one with everyone because this message needs to be heard. Consider it a little taste of the unfiltered magic coming your way in The Chaos Chronicles...
Listen up witches, because I'm about to get real about something that's been making my cauldron bubble: gatekeeping in the witch community. You know what I'm talking about - those self-appointed "keepers of true witchcraft" who act like they're the magical mall cops of spirituality.
"You can't be a real witch unless you were initiated by a certified coven under a full moon while Mercury was in retrograde and Venus was in your fifth house..." PLEASE. 🙄
Witchcraft isn't some exclusive country club with a dress code and secret handshake. It's a wild, personal journey that's different for every single one of us. Your practice might involve dancing naked under the stars, while someone else's might mean quietly blessing their morning coffee before logging into their 9-5. Both are equally valid and equally powerful.
The "Rules" Are Made Up and the Points Don't Matter
Let's talk about these so-called "rules" of witchcraft that some people love to throw around like they're the magic police. Newsflash: those crusty old books written by old white dudes aren't actually sacred texts handed down by the gods. They're guides, inspiration, starting points - not fucking gospel.
You want to know the real tea about witchcraft rules? THERE AREN'T ANY. Except maybe "don't be a judgmental asshole," but that's just basic human decency.
"But My Grandmother's Sister's Cousin Was a REAL Witch..."
Oh, you were born into a witch family? That's awesome! You weren't? THAT'S ALSO AWESOME.
Being born into witchcraft doesn't make you any more valid than someone who discovered it through TikTok last week. You know what makes you a real witch? DECIDING YOU'RE A FUCKING WITCH. That's it. That's the tweet.
The Only Bad Witch is a Judgmental One
Want to know what actually makes our community look bad? It's not the baby witch learning from social media. It's not the kitchen witch who's never touched a crystal. It's not the corporate witch doing sigils in their office bathroom.
It's the witches who spend their energy tearing others down instead of building their own power up. It's the ones who gatekeep and judge and try to dim the sparkling diversity that makes our community so goddamn beautiful.
Your Magic, Your Rules
Here's the only witch rule book you need:
Does it feel right to you? Do it.
Does it harm someone? Do they deserve it? Will you feel guilty afterward? You decide.
Does someone or some book tell you you're doing it wrong? Tell them to piss off.
Your path is YOURS. Whether you're a chaos witch throwing random ingredients in a jar and shaking it with intention, or a traditional witch following centuries-old recipes to the letter - you're doing it right if it works for YOU.
The Revolution Will Not Be Gatekept
The future of witchcraft isn't in maintaining rigid boundaries and exclusive clubs. It's in throwing the doors wide open and letting every witch find their own way to shine. It's in celebrating the beautiful chaos of different practices, beliefs, and ways of connecting with magic.
So to all the gatekeepers out there: your time is up. The new generation of witches isn't asking for permission or validation. They're here, they're magical, and they're doing it their way.
And to every witch who's ever been told you're not "real" enough: you are valid. Your magic is valid. Your practice is valid. And anyone who says differently can get hexed.
Welcome to the new age of witchcraft, where the only rule is there are no rules, and the only bad witch is a judgmental one. Now go forth and make magic however the fuck you want. ✨
