Practicing Witchcraft By: Aria de Lima
In the past, the practice of witchcraft was something that was commonly looked down on. Oftentimes, people kept their practices a secret to avoid the backlash and criticism from society. Today, practicing witchcraft is actually very common and openly talked about. Entire communities have been built as a place for people to learn, share and interact with others who have similar beliefs. Tori Smith was one of those
people. At the young age of 14, Tori found herself taking a passionate interest in crystals. Over the next several years, she began to notice that her intuition and draw towards certain practices continued to grow. About a year ago, she connected with the online community through the help of Instagram and Tik Tok. She was able to learn from others and eventually found her mentor. “I’ve sort of been a witch my whole life without really knowing about it. I’ve always had a really good intuition,” she said.
