Why Cultural Attribution Matters in Witchcraft

Send us Fan Mail

What does it really mean to practice with respect when we borrow from folklore, deity work, and traditions outside our own direct lineage? 

In this episode, Leandra Witchwood and Elyse Welles explore the importance of cultural attribution in witchcraft and why naming the roots of a practice matters. They talk about the difference between appropriation and respectful engagement, how social media often strips spiritual traditions of their depth, and why it is not enough to simply repeat something because it looks magical online.
