Our Commitment to Quality
At Witchcraft For Beginners, we're committed to providing accurate, helpful, and respectful content about witchcraft and magical practice. This editorial policy explains how we create, review, and maintain our content to serve you better.
How We Research Content
Source Standards
Our content draws from multiple types of sources:
- Historical texts and grimoires – Referenced when discussing traditional practices
- Academic sources – Scholarly work on folklore, anthropology, and religious studies
- Respected practitioners – Published authors and recognized voices in the witchcraft community
- Practical experience – Techniques verified through actual practice
- Community knowledge – Wisdom shared within established witchcraft traditions
What We Avoid
- Unverified claims presented as fact
- Appropriation of closed cultural practices without proper context
- Medical, legal, or financial advice (we're not licensed professionals in these fields)
- Content that could encourage harm to self or others
Content Creation Process
Step 1: Topic Research
Before writing, we research the topic across multiple sources to ensure accuracy and depth. For traditional practices, we trace origins and variations across different paths.
Step 2: Drafting
Content is written with beginners in mind, explaining terminology and providing context. We aim to be thorough without being overwhelming.
Step 3: Review
All content is reviewed for:
- Factual accuracy
- Clarity and accessibility
- Respectful treatment of traditions
- Safety considerations
- Practical applicability
Step 4: Publication & Updates
After publication, we monitor for feedback and update content as needed to maintain accuracy.
Content Updates & Corrections

We take errors seriously. If we discover or are alerted to inaccuracies:

Cultural Sensitivity & Respect
Our Approach to Traditions
We recognize that witchcraft encompasses many traditions, cultures, and practices. Our approach:
- Open practices – We freely share information about practices open to all seekers
- Closed practices – We acknowledge and respect that some practices are closed to outsiders, and we don't teach these without proper attribution and context
- Cultural origins – We credit cultural origins when discussing practices from specific traditions
- Multiple paths – We present options without declaring any single path as “correct”
