In recent times, the witch archetype is making a powerful comeback, as the witch embodies a blend of mysticism, strength, and wisdom that resonates deeply in our modern, disconnected world. There is a deep longing in many women to come back to ourselves and reconnect with Mother Nature.
So, being a modern witch isn’t necessarily about spells and rituals and wearing pointy hats — it’s about embracing our inner power, connecting with nature, and celebrating the unique magic that lives within each of us.
Whether you’re drawn to the ancient traditions or finding your own path, the spirit of witchcraft is about empowerment and self-discovery.
These twenty quotes are here to inspire you, to remind you of your inherent strength, and to encourage you to live authentically and boldly as the incredible witch you are.
