## Resource

Episode: The Basics of Witchcraft & the Terminology Witchcraft can feel overwhelming when you’re first stepping into it… so many terms, so many paths, and a lot of noise around what it’s supposed to look like. In this episode of Between Three Witches , we bring it back to something much simpler: ✨ What witchcraft actually is ✨ The language you’ll hear (and what it really means) ✨ How different paths and practices show up in real life ✨ And how to begin without overcomplicating it This isn’t about rigid rules or perfect definitions, it’s about understanding the foundations in a way that feels grounded, honest, and accessible . We also explore the difference between traditional and modern approaches, the role of tools and intention, and why your practice doesn’t need to look like anyone else’s. And in this week’s “Come Sit With Us” segment, we answer a listener question around shadow work, what it is, why it matters, and why it doesn’t always look the way you expect. If you’ve ever felt unsure where to start, confused by terminology, or like you’re “missing something”… this episode is for you. You can find us all on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook & YouTube (and I am also on Patreon and so is Wheelie) as Gayle The Witch Next Door The Wheelie Green Witch Anon - The anonymous witch
