Anything written in this post is my opinion, not law, or gospel. Perhaps it’s whimsy?
There’s a very old saying, that goes something like this:
There are 99 ways to skin a cat. And none of them are wrong."
Are names, titles, & labels similar? Names, as labels can be helpful or hurtful, or even descriptive. The Oxford Dictionary explains, that as a verb, it is a place in a particular class or group.
What I’d like to do is to compare labels to this question.
“What kind of Witch are you?”
There are so many directions one can go in this journey. At times it’s difficult to classify one’s self as anything, not in one word.
I, am a solitary, eclectic witch, with flavors of healing, herbs, spices, elements, cosmic. etc.
Of course, you can label yourself as anything that you want, You can ‘label’ yourself with a single title but that doesn’t tell me what you do. It limits the spectrum of your abilities. It’s…limiting.
Take the title, “Kitchen Witch” This term, doesn’t just make magick in her cooking. She/he is a healer, a nurturer, a teacher, and so much more.
What I’m trying to put forth is that there are innumerable ways to be a witch and none of them are wrong. You are strong, you are wise, and you are loving and gifted. Those are titles too. Wear them proudly.
Best of all, you are a Witch!

I fully agree!
