Witchcraft is Frequency Work (why it’s rising again)
Witchcraft is frequency work: science is literally just now catching up to what ancient wisdom already knew. Like all that talk about neuroplasticity, your RAS system in your brain, nervous system regulation, that’s just the modern day version of spellwork. It’s proof that your body, your words, your energy are constantly putting spells out there. Everything you say to yourself matters. Everything you feel in your body matters. Your nervous system is like your cauldron. If it’s dysregulated and stuck in fear, you’re basically brewing fear potions on repeat. But if you’re calming it, rewiring it, shifting it into love and trust, then you’re literally casting higher-frequency spells without even calling it that.
So yeah, manifestation? That’s witchcraft. It just got rebranded because people freaked out about the word “witch.” If you’re visualizing your future, if you’re journaling, if you’re choosing gratitude.. congrats, babe, you’re doing witch shit. Call it manifestation if that makes you feel safer, but it’s the same exact thing.
Now, let’s get into the frequencies because I know everyone’s obsessed with “high vibes only” or whatever, but I don’t see it that way. For me, low frequencies are fear, shame, scarcity, self-doubt, jealousy, comparison. That nervous energy you get when you’re like “oh my god I don’t know how I’m gonna pay rent”, that’s fear. That sick feeling like you’re not enough, shame. All of those are low frequency, and they’re heavy, and they’re sticky. High frequency is love, gratitude, abundance, trust, excitement, knowing the universe is conspiring with you instead of against you. It’s not about pretending you’re happy all the time, it’s about knowing where you’re tuned. Because every emotion is basically a radio station. Fear puts you on one channel. Gratitude puts you on another. And what you pick up in your reality.. opportunities, relationships, money, miracles.. it depends on which damn station you’re playing. That’s why I keep saying witchcraft is frequency work. Witches were always frequency workers. They just used different language. They said chants, lit candles, brewed herbs, they drummed, they danced under the moon.. all those things regulate the nervous system, open the body, and shift the energy field. Modern witches (aka every single one of you manifesting on TikTok) are doing the same thing but with vision boards, affirmations, somatic healing, and subconscious rewiring. Different aesthetics, same magic.
here’s why witchcraft is rising again!
people are done. They’re done being numb, done being lied to, done pretending capitalism and patriarchy are normal. The divine feminine is waking the fuck up and saying not only “fuck the patriarchy” but also “FUCCKKKK capitalism.” Because both are built on keeping you small, tired, drained, and disconnected from your magic. it’s not just women. It’s not about gender. It’s about divine feminine energy rising again. That creative, intuitive, cyclical, life-giving, deeply connected energy that’s been suppressed for centuries is now busting through the cracks.
the patriarchy knows it TOO!! That’s why women were burned as witches in the first place. It wasn’t about herbs. It wasn’t about broomsticks. It was because women in their full power scared the shit out of systems built on control. Think about Cleopatra. The Romans hated her, not because she was evil but because she was powerful, sexual, intelligent, sovereign. She scared them. If we don’t blink when men are in power, why do people panic when women are? Because they know deep down: we’ve always had the power. And once we remember that? Game over.
This is where I’m gonna get spicy. That whole Christian/Catholic “Eve was made from Adam’s rib” story? Miss me with that. Let’s talk about Lilith. She wasn’t made from anybody’s rib. She was her own being, her own power, her own magic. that’s why she got demonized — because she didn’t submit. The rib story is literally propaganda to make women think they were made to serve. That’s anti-feminist bullshit, and I’m not here for it.
So let’s talk about modern vs old witchcraft. Do I think something got lost when people started manifesting with vision boards and completely ditched candles and herbs? Honestly, yeah. Because those tools weren’t just props. They were bridges back to Gaia. Herbs, crystals, candles... They’re alive. They’re OUR allies. They amplify. And most importantly, they remind you of reciprocity. You don’t just take from the Earth; you work with her. If you want something, you give something back. You honor the cycle. You ground into Gaia.
BuTTTt don’t get me wrong… journaling, affirmations, nervous system work? Those are spells too. In fact, combining them is where the real power is. Journal and visualize. Then light the damn candle. Breathe like your nervous system is your altar. Hold the crystal like it’s your microphone to the universe. Gratitude, movement, herbs, affirmations.. all of it together is witchcraft. That’s frequency work. That’s how you amplify your signal. this matters to me sooooo much because I don’t just see it as a trend. This isn’t just “witchy aesthetic.” It’s remembering who we are. It’s ancient wisdom that says we are one consciousness, one big field of energy creating reality together. Nobody is above you. Nobody is more powerful than you. You are a God. You are Source. You are the witch!!!
In Christian terms, sure, you could say we’re all sparks of God spread across humanity. But let’s call it what it is: you’re not waiting for some external savior. You are the spell. You are the power. You are the frequency.
So what does practical magic look like in 2025? It looks like:
Journaling to rewire your programming and actually seeing where capitalism and patriarchy have lied to you.
Nervous system regulation, breathwork, cold plunges, shaking, chanting.. to remind your body it’s safe so you stop brewing fear spells on autopilot.
Visualization so detailed it tricks your brain into believing it’s already here, which is how new neural pathways are formed.
Gratitude so embodied that your nervous system can’t tell the difference between reality and imagination.
Herbs, crystals, candles.. as amplifiers. Anchors. Physical ways to interact with energy.
This is old witchcraft and new witchcraft braided together. And that’s the frequency work we need.
So here’s my bold statement for 2025.. stop giving a fuck about what anyone else says. Stop listening to people who want you small, tired, or doubting yourself. Recognize your own power. Remember that you’re not just working with your mind, you’re working with Gaia, with space and time itself. You are not limited by time. You are time. You are not separate from the Earth. You are Earth. You’re made of the same elements likee oxygen, hydrogen, carbon.. the same stardust that everything else is made of. You’re not just on this planet; you are this planet expressing itself through human form.
That’s witchcraft. That’s frequency work!!! that’s why it’s rising again. Devine feminine is rising!
Because the spell isn’t out there. The spell is you!!!!!
