What Are the Biggest Trends in Witchcraft?
What is trending in witchcraft right now?
Witchcraft today is personal, eclectic and mostly solitary. The strongest trends are lunar ritual, daily divination, green and eco conscious practice, shadow work, deity work, online covens and, for Australians, celebrating the sabbats in step with Southern Hemisphere seasons.
1. Moon rituals
Working with the lunar cycle is the most popular entry point into the craft: setting intentions at the new moon, charging crystals and making moon water at the full moon, and releasing at the waning moon. See our moon magic spells guide.
2. The divination revival
Tarot, oracle cards, pendulums and runes are more popular than ever, with many witches pulling a daily card for reflection. Start with tarot for beginners.
3. Green and sustainable witchcraft
Witches are choosing ethically sourced crystals, growing their own herbs, refilling spell jars and choosing natural incense. Green witchcraft, which centres plants and the land, keeps growing. Read our green witchcraft guide.
4. Shadow work and healing
Journaling, inner child work and ritual self care have become core parts of many practices. Learn more in shadow work for witches.
5. Deity and ancestor work
More witches are building devotional relationships with gods such as Hecate, Freya and the Morrigan, and keeping ancestor altars.
6. WitchTok and digital covens
Social media has become the new coven: a place to share spells, ask questions and find community. The best practice pairs online learning with real books and your own experience.
7. The Southern Hemisphere wheel
Australian and New Zealand witches increasingly celebrate the sabbats by local seasons, with Samhain in autumn around 1 May and Beltane in spring around 1 November. See the Wheel of the Year explained.
