tips for those who write witch characters from an actual witch

• witches don’t have to be wiccan to be a witch
• witches don’t have to be pagan to be a witch
• witches can be christian and still be a witch
• witches don’t need a religion to be a witch
• witchcraft and religion are two different things
• witches come in all genders
• witch is a gender neutral term
• witches don’t have to be able-bodied to be a witch
• witches don’t have to be neurotypical to be a witch
• anyone can be a witch regardless of gender, age, race, disability, or sexuality
• try to avoid the terms “black magic” and “white magic” for they have racist connotations
• try to also avoid the term “magick” for it was coined by alastair crowley who was a raging anti-semitic

if i missed any i’m sure my fellow witches could add on!

also definitely do not describe them as “hook-nosed” or any of that trite shit, that stereotype is based in anti-semitism
