The 13 Witch Tenets
To Be Announced
The tenets are being prepared for release. They will be published here as the WCC establishes its formal foundation.
An ever-growing list of types of witches throughout magical existence.
🌍 Earth Witch
Earth witches honour the Earth through the Wheel of the Year — each season, each hemisphere, each turning of the cycle.
🕯️ White Candle Witch
A white candle with purpose and will can always be used in place of any other colour. Intent is the key.
💚 Healing Witch
Practice centred on healing — of self, others, and the world around them. Often working with herbs, energy, and ritual.
🎬 Hollywood Witch
Long pointy hats, cauldrons, wolfsbane — from the Wizard of Oz to Sabrina. Many versions, many lessons.
🌿 Digital Witch
Modern practitioners sharing their craft through social media and beyond. A growing community in the digital age.
⚡ Political Witch
A witch who sees the crisis the world is in and tries to heal the Earth via changing political and ecological law. Activism as craft.
🔭 Tech Witch
Using code, data, and digital tools as extensions of magical practice. Building systems that bridge the sacred and the scientific.
🌊 Sea Witch
Drawing power from water, tides, and the moon's pull on the ocean. Salt, shells, and the rhythms of the deep.
Eight sabbats marking the turning of the seasons. Both hemispheres observed.

Select a sign above to receive today's reading.
Wicca
Under the Pagan umbrella — a well-known Earth-based religion with structured practice and the Wheel of the Year at its heart.
Pagan
An umbrella term for Earth-based spiritual paths outside the main Abrahamic religions. Many paths, one word.
Sabbat
The eight seasonal celebrations marking the Wheel of the Year. Tied to solstices, equinoxes, and cross-quarter days.
Esbat
Monthly moon celebrations, typically at the full moon. A time for working magic, ritual, and honouring the lunar cycle.
Grimoire
A book of magical knowledge — spells, correspondences, rituals, and personal practice. A witch's working reference.
Book of Shadows
A personal magical diary. Where a witch documents their practice, experiences, and growth over time.
Correspondence
The magical associations of herbs, crystals, colours, planets, and days. Using "like calls to like" to strengthen intent.
Intent
The focused will and purpose behind a spell or ritual. In many traditions, the most essential magical ingredient.
Casting a Circle
Creating a sacred, protected space for magical work. The circle defines the boundary between ordinary and sacred space.
Grounding
Releasing excess energy and reconnecting with the Earth after magical work. Essential for balance and wellbeing.
Deosil / Widdershins
Clockwise (deosil) for building and attracting; counter-clockwise (widdershins) for banishing and releasing.
Amulet
A charged object worn or carried for protection or to attract specific energies. Distinct from a talisman in that an amulet is typically a found or natural object rather than crafted with intent.
Athame
A ritual blade — typically double-edged, typically black-handled. Used to direct energy, cast circle, and invoke the elements. Does not cut physical things; it cuts energy. Wiccan tradition; not universal to all practices.
Banishing
Magical work to remove an influence, entity, habit, or energy from your life or space. Typically performed on a waning moon. Distinct from binding (which restricts rather than removes).
Binding
A spell or working to restrict a person or energy from causing harm — to themselves or others. Ethically complex; many practitioners only bind to protect, not to control.
Book of Shadows
A witch's personal magical journal — spells, rituals, correspondences, dreams, and learnings recorded over time. Historically kept secret. Some traditions share them; others consider them strictly personal.
Coven
A group of witches who practice together, typically with a shared tradition or structure. Historically thirteen members, though modern covens vary widely in size and organization.
Craft Name
A name taken by a witch for use in ritual, magical, or community contexts. May remain private or be used publicly. Carries the intention of who the witch is becoming rather than who they were born.
Deosil
Clockwise movement, following the path of the Sun through the sky in the northern hemisphere. Used in workings of growth, manifestation, and attraction. See also: Widdershins.
Divination
The practice of seeking insight through symbolic systems — tarot, runes, scrying, pendulum, bibliomancy, and many others. Understood as accessing intuition, pattern-recognition, or synchronicity rather than predicting a fixed future.
Esbat
A monthly gathering held at the full moon (or sometimes new moon). Distinct from a sabbat, which marks the solar year. Esbats are for working magic; sabbats are for celebration and reflection.
Familiar
An animal companion that is also a magical partner — historically associated with spirit guides in animal form, often misrepresented in the historical record of witch trials. In modern practice: a beloved animal whose presence is part of a witch's spiritual life.
Glamour
A charm or working to alter how one appears — to others or to oneself. Old meaning: a spell cast over the eyes to make one see differently. Modern use: magical work around presentation, self-image, and presence.
Grounding
The practice of anchoring energy into the earth after working magic or raising energy. Prevents energy overwhelm; clears excess. Physically: breathwork, touching the ground, eating something substantial.
Handfasting
A Pagan/Wiccan ceremony of commitment between partners — historically a temporary bonding for a year and a day, now often used as a permanent union ceremony outside civil or religious frameworks.
Hedge Witch
A solitary practitioner who works with liminal spaces — the hedge being the boundary between worlds. Associated with spirit contact, trance work, and dreamwalking. Typically works alone and outside formal traditions.
Herbalism
The use of plants for healing, magical correspondence, ritual, or daily life. In craft practice: plants carry energetic signatures that correspond to magical intentions. In scientific practice: phytochemistry studies the active compounds responsible for physiological effects.
Imbolc
The sabbat of early spring (February 1–2) sacred to Brigid — goddess of healing, poetry, and smithcraft. Seeds are planted in intention. Fires are lit to call back the light. Northern hemisphere: late winter. Southern hemisphere: early autumn.
Invocation
Calling a deity, spirit, or energy into oneself or into a ritual space. Distinct from evocation (calling a presence to appear outside oneself). Used in drawing down the moon, channeling, and deity work.
Kitchen Witch
A practitioner who centers their craft in the home, the hearth, and the everyday — cooking, cleaning, and domestic life as magical acts. Often solitary, practical, and grounded. The hearth as sacred space.
Liminal
Of or relating to a threshold — a space or time that is in-between. Dawn, dusk, equinoxes, crossroads, shorelines, doorways. Liminal spaces are considered especially potent for magic because they belong to neither world fully.
Manifestation
The process of bringing intention into material reality through focused will, visualization, and action. Not passive wishing — most craft traditions emphasize that magic works in tandem with real-world effort.
Moon Water
Water charged under moonlight — particularly the full moon — for use in spells, cleansing, anointing, or ritual. Different moon phases charge water with different qualities. A simple, accessible form of magical preparation.
Offering
A gift given to a deity, ancestor, or spirit — food, drink, incense, flowers, handmade objects, or acts of service. Offerings are reciprocal: you give something of value to build relationship. Do not leave non-biodegradable items in nature.
Oracle
A divination tool — specifically card decks that do not follow the structure of the traditional tarot's 78-card system. More free-form than tarot; typically themed around a specific mythology or correspondence system.
Pentacle
A five-pointed star within a circle — the primary symbol of Wicca and many pagan traditions. Each point represents an element: Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Spirit. Used as protection, as altar tool, and as identification.
Ritual
A structured, intentional ceremonial act. Unlike a spell (which is usually goal-directed), a ritual may be devotional, celebratory, or transformative in nature. Rituals create sacred space and mark transitions.
Sabbat
One of the eight solar celebrations that mark the Wheel of the Year — the solstices, equinoxes, and four cross-quarter days between them. Sabbats are celebrations of the turning cycle rather than working magic.
Scrying
A form of divination using a reflective or translucent surface — a mirror, a bowl of water, a crystal ball, or a candle flame — to receive symbolic visions or intuitive impressions.
Sigil
A symbol created to encode a magical intention — typically through reducing a statement of intent to an abstract glyph. Activated through concentration, fire, or other means. Popularized by Austin Osman Spare; widely used in chaos magic.
Solitary
A witch who practices alone, outside of a coven or formal group. By choice or circumstance. No less valid than group practice. The majority of contemporary witches identify as solitary.
Talisman
A crafted object charged with magical intention — typically made with specific materials, symbols, and timing to attract or amplify a desired quality. Distinct from an amulet in that it is intentionally created rather than found.
Theban Script
A witches' alphabet used for writing in journals, spell books, and on tools. Also called the Witch's Alphabet. Origin unclear; attributed to Honorius of Thebes in the 16th century. Used for privacy and to mark objects as magical.
Triple Goddess
A concept of the divine feminine expressed in three aspects: Maiden (new beginnings, independence), Mother (fertility, care, creation), and Crone (wisdom, endings, death). Often associated with the waxing, full, and waning moon.
Visualization
The intentional formation of clear mental imagery as part of magical work — seeing the desired outcome as already true, sensing it with all senses. The cognitive mechanism by which intention becomes emotionally real before it manifests physically.
Warding
Placing protective magical barriers around a space, object, or person. Wards can be sigils, charged stones, salt, or energetic shields. Unlike banishing (which removes), warding prevents unwanted entry.

What Are Runes?
The Elder Futhark is the oldest runic alphabet, used by Germanic peoples from roughly the 2nd to 8th centuries CE. 24 characters, each phonetic and conceptual simultaneously. The word "rune" derives from Proto-Germanic rūnō — meaning "secret" or "whispered."
Archaeological evidence includes runic inscriptions on weapons, jewelry, bracteates, and memorial stones across Scandinavia, Britain, and continental Europe. Tacitus (Germania, 98 CE) describes lot-casting among Germanic peoples — the earliest textual reference to runic divination.
Modern runic divination is largely a 20th-century development. The specific meanings used today draw on older tradition but were significantly elaborated by figures such as Ralph Blum (1982). Both the historical record and the modern practice are real — they deserve to be understood separately.
Life Path Number

VIGIL (Variable Index Global Infrastructure and Life) is a 69-node environmental monitoring system that aggregates publicly available data from open-meteo, Environment Canada, NOAA SWPC, and similar government and scientific sources. It tracks weather patterns, air quality indicators, space weather, and environmental conditions across a global node network.
VIGIL is not an investigative journalism tool. It is not an advocacy platform. It is not designed to target, implicate, or surveil any specific company, individual, or operation. It is a personal and community wellness infrastructure — the same category as a home weather station, magnified to a global scale.
✓ No user geolocation is ever collected · ✓ No proprietary data accessed or stored · ✓ All source data is publicly available government and scientific feeds · ✓ No user identifying information linked to node readings
These are not loopholes. They are architecture. They were designed deliberately and must never be removed.
The Fort St. John node (FSJ) sits within the Coastal GasLink pipeline corridor. Taylor, BC is flagged for upwind risk monitoring. The system tracks benzene μg/m³ as part of the air quality feed. This is the node with the highest potential for readings that could be mischaracterized or attract external attention.
The FSJ node is not a surveillance operation against any company. It is personal health and environmental monitoring for a resident living within that corridor — which is a legal, protected, and entirely legitimate activity.
| Source | Type | Status |
|---|---|---|
| open-meteo | Public API, no key required | ✓ Clean |
| Environment Canada | Government feed | ✓ Clean |
| NOAA SWPC | US government feed | ✓ Clean |
| open-meteo air quality | Public API, benzene field | ✓ Clean |
| VIGIL node readings | Aggregated public data, Supabase | ✓ Clean |
The entire system is built on the same category of information a person reads on a government weather website — just structured, logged, and analyzed across multiple nodes. That is not dangerous. That is science.
We protect ourselves not because we are doing anything wrong, but because the history of environmental monitoring shows that powerful interests sometimes respond to truth with pressure rather than accountability.
The four-layer structure — Riven, Brass, Morgan, SonyaClaire — exists so that when our data says something real, it says it with unassailable methodology behind it. And so that every person who contributed to that work is protected by the structure, not exposed by it.
Regular events across the Wheel of the Year. All gatherings hold the dual standard — what the tradition says, and what the astronomy says. Online sessions are open to verified members.
The WCC doesn't require credentials — it requires character. Claire's standard: show up, be honest, care about the work. Formal credentials will come with time. Community knowledge counts now. Interest in any role? Use the suggestion box or email us.
Interested? Every role begins at the Student level and grows from there. The WCC invests in people who show up.
