The earliest scholars of the natural world were magicians, priests, shamans, astrologers and philosophers. They categorized things in ways that are meaningful to them; by comparing them to other things in the natural world, and according to their magical and medicinal uses. These are the basis for modern tables of correspondences. Some things were categorized according to the doctrine of signatures , assigning meaning to the physical appearance of a thing, others categorized things according to their properties and aligned them to the properties of the planets. Later, elemental correspondences inherited properties of the planets with which they were associated and as new items were discovered and added to the magical formulary, they were assigned correspondences accordingly. Linneaus categorized plants and animals according to their reproductive traits in the s and brought about our modern methods, which are also useful to know, especially for wildcrafting and plant identification. You can find herbs listed according to the linnean classification system at Herbs Listed by Botanical Family. For magick users, Tables of Correspondence remain relevant today.

Welcome to Witch Week , a campaign dedicated to exploring how witchcraft, magick and beauty intersect. Over the last few years, interest in spirituality and more specifically witchcraft has been growing among younger generations. Old misconceptions of spooky satanic worship and dangerous cult-like covens are being rebuked by an army of young influencers finding solace and meaning in magick. The ability to share information like never before has been intrinsic to the growth of witchcraft, an art that by nature is an adaptation of old traditions into new diverse and flexible paths. Those who cast spells believe in Karma and the threefold law which states anything you do will be returned to you three times as strong. This is why practitioners stay away from harmful magick, curses and hexes. While witchcraft outside of Wicca has no laws or ethical codes which forbids or advises against the use of curses and the like, in witchcraft, many will choose not to add to their karmic debt and follow their own morals. In uneasy times, as they are now, with debates swirling around gender equality and growing unease around climate change, the next generation is turning for more spiritual modes of existence and, in some cases, liberal practises of magick.
