5 Ways to Tell if you are a Water Witch c2018
5 Ways to Tell if you are a Water Witch
So you are a witch and you love the water! In fact you might even be a just a little obsessed with it. You tend to find yourself walking the shores and collecting river rock and sea shells. If you tend to work with spirits that are associated with the water and worship goddesses born of the waves then chances are you are a Water Witch. Water Witchcraft is a “genre” of witchcraft that honors and derives its power from the water. Sea witches have a long history in both ancient and more modern folk and mythic stories. So if you are drawn to the water and witchcraft here are 5 ways to know if your genre of witchcraft is Water Witch or Sea Witch.
1) You Spend time with the water!
Do you spend time near the water? Great! That is the first step to an active Water Witch practice! Becoming one with the energies of the water, be it the ocean, river, or lake, is an important part of being a Water Witch. If you haven’t spent time by a bubbling brook or a raging ocean what are you waiting for? Studies show that spending time near the ocean is good for your health! It’s going to be good for your Witchcraft too! No doubt walking the shores of a river or the ocean in a light meditative state while opening up and listening to the water is a going to deepen your connection with water!
If you are a land locked Sea Witch try getting a friend to send you a bottle of sea water from your favorite ocean. If you are a home bound Water Witch, try working with the water that you can access from your home! Water can be stored in clean glass jars and placed on your altar!
2) You give offerings and do rituals by the Water!
Witches do spells and rituals! That much we can agree on right? Well Water Witches do them too! You may find a Sea Witch drawing sigils in the sand or collecting sea water! You may find a River Witch meditating in a quite space under low hanging trees over a rippling river. Flowers are often found on the beach, remnants of a ritual that was performed there before, however they can often be problematic, and other offerings can often be toxic to the environment. The best offering we can give the Water is to keep it clean, collect trash, help keep the waters clean and send healing spells to the water. More about offerings here
3) You Collect Water!
Witches in general tend to have many boxes, bags, and bottles! But Water Witches tend to have more bottles and jars than anything! Why? Well they hold the various waters we work with! A witch’s cabinet is just as unique as the witch varying with their tradition and path. In it you may find various jars of water including, ocean water, muddy water, rain water, full moon water, holy water, water from various sacred springs and local water sources, florida water, war water, floral essences, gem essences and other strange watery concoctions!
4) You Make Magic Waters!
There are so many different types of magical waters to work with, however a basic skill every water witch needs is how to create holy water! Every witch has their own way; some with a hag stone, salt or silver, others charge water from a sacred spring or under the full moon as a basic water to empower their spells and rituals. Holy water is also useful in cleansing and purification rites and learning how to make your own will be useful in case you wanted to take a sacred bath in a tub of holy water! Because Water Witches love their sacred baths too!
5) You work with a Water or Ocean Spirit, God or Guide!
Depending on your path you most likely work with some type of spirit. Spirits come in many forms, Godlike, ancestral, angelic, demonic, animal, Faery, plant, etc. Most pantheons have water spirits! Even the Ancestral realm has extinct water creatures such as the Megalodon or mythological sea monsters. You could also explore working with the spirit of a pirate or Davey Jones Locker. There are Water Faery and Gods abound and are too numerous to list with each pantheon having multiple deities! Chances are that you have a shrine or altar space that is watery in nature or even dedicated to the water or a water god/ess. Or perhaps a collection of prized sea shells intermingled with candles that are more to you than decoration.
There are many other ways to be a water witch and these are not mutually exclusive and there are many other ways to incorporate water into your practice. Divination may play a large roll in your practice or perhaps it is ritual for you. You may be an energy worker practicing on the sea shore, it doesn’t matter really! It just matters that you are doing the work and following your own path. I do hope you enjoyed the article and a fun way of categorizing Water Witch traits!

Spell for Monday – Psychic Communication
(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)
Psychic Communication Spell
This spell will help increase your long-distance psychic abilities. For it, you’ll need a like-minded partner who does not live with you. Set a time when you can perform this ritual with your friend. You’ll both need a white candle and charged amethyst stone. At the designated time, each of you should light your candle and gaze at the flame. Handle the amethyst stone. Concentrate on one thought; visualize a blue-white light surrounding the candle. Then, project your thought in the direction of your partner. Limit this exercise to about ten minutes. Extinguish the candle and call your friend. Tell each other what you felt, thought, or any images you saw. Perform this ritual at least once a month and you will increase your psychic awareness. Ideally, this spell should be worked on Mondays or Wednesdays, during a waxing Moon.

July 22, 2025 Current Southern Hemisphere/Tomorrow’s Northern Hemisphere Moon Phase
Source: nineplanets.org
The current moon phase for July 22nd, 2025 is the Waning Crescent phase.
On this day, the moon is 26.98 days old and 8.64% illuminated with a tilt of -41.51°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 369,278.79 km and the moon sign is Gemini.
The Moon phase for July 22nd, 2025 is a Waning Crescent phase. This is the phase where the moon is less than 50% illuminated but has not yet reached 0% illumination (which would be a New Moon).
In this part of the moon cycle, it is getting closer and closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing earth with a decreasingly thin crescent being illuminated.
The waning (shrinking) crescement Moon will rise at around midnight, transit the meridian after sunrise, before setting after noon. This phase is best viewed 1-2 hours before sunrise and is a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the illuminated crescent you can see the craters and mountains of the moon casting long shadows.
The Waxing Gibbous phase, like all moon phases, will last for just over 7 days. The actual length will vary because of the elliptical shaped orbit of the moon. During this Waxing Gibbous phase the moon will rise in the east in the mid- to late-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset.
Assuming it’s a clear night, the Waxing Gibbous moon will then be visible through most of the night before setting just before sunrise.
Fun fact: the illuminated side of a waning crescent moon is always pointed eastwards, towards the sunrise.

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waning Crescent phase. This phase is best viewed just before the sunrise in the western sky. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this part of the Moon cycle, the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.
Today’s Waning Crescent Phase
The Waning Crescent on July 22 has an illumination of 6%. This is the percentage of the Moon illuminated by the Sun. The illumination is constantly changing and can vary up to 10% a day.

It takes 29.53 days for the Moon to orbit the Earth and go through the lunar cycle of all 8 Moon phases.

May it bring you everything you want if it is supposed to be and everything you need. May sorrow be unknown, and any negativity be minimal. May the wind always be at your back.
As a Cancer born on July 21st, you have an artistic nature but at the same time, a commercial sense as well. You put great price on your stability but also seek to disrupt it in order to challenge yourself.
In life, you are often in close proximity to important people and some of them might actually help you with your endeavours, in time. Get ready to better understand your horoscope profile below.
The zodiac sign for July 21 is Cancer.
Astrological symbol: Crab. The sign of the Crab represents people born June 21 – July 22, when the Sun is placed in Cancer. It suggests the emotional and protective nature of these people.
The Cancer Constellation, one of the 12 zodiac constellations is spread on an area of 506 sq degrees and its visible latitudes are +90° to -60°. The brightest star is Cancri and its neighboring constellations are Gemini to the West and Leo to the East.
The name Cancer is the Latin name for Crab. In Greece, Karkinos is the name of the sign for July 21 zodiac sign, while in Spain and France they also use Cancer.
Opposite sign: Capricorn. It is considered that partnerships of any kind between the Cancer and Capricorn sun sign people are the best in the zodiac and highlight generosity and freedom.
Modality: Cardinal. Reveals how much loving sense and daring state exists in the lives of those born on July 21 and how sincere they are in general.
Ruling house: The fourth house. This house governs ancestry, home stability and family relations and is exactly what these sensible beings need to surround with. Cancerians are also oriented towards remembering passed times and collecting souvenirs.
Ruling body: Moon. This celestial planet is said to influence emotions and intuition. It is also to be mentioned about the moodiness of these natives. The glyph of the Moon is a crescent.
Element: Water. This is the element of the romantics, those born under the July 21 zodiac sign who are quick to offer compassion and to unravel how they feel. The depth of water reveals the depth of these complex individuals.
Lucky day: Monday. Ruled by the Moon this day symbolizes patience and the shadowy side of life and seems to have the same emotional flow as the lives of Cancer individuals.
Lucky numbers: 4, 9, 10, 16, 26.
Motto: “I feel!”
People born on July 21 try to build a convenient life for themselves and for those dear to them and crave for cohesion above all. They are pragmatic beings with their feet well grounded and who prefer establishing some sort of ordinary and then dealing with well established tasks. They seek for calm and soothing settings to recharge their batteries but at the same time they are quick to abandon them when something exciting comes up.
Positive Traits: These natives are knowledgeable, responsible and have a great self control. Cancer people are usually disciplined and attentive when it comes to relevant things and amicable and fun the rest of the time. Those born under this sign are also witty and balanced. They enjoy knowing as many things as possible but they also know when and with whom to share their extended awareness.
Negative Traits: One of the things Cancer needs to learn is to stop being so naive and trusting, not everyone has the best intentions. Those born on this day are overly cautious, rigid and pessimistic. They hardly embrace change and adventure. They always seem to have this fixed and suspicious attitude whenever they deal with something fun, risky or simply new.
Love and Compatibility: Lovers born on July 21 are extremely romantic and passionate. They are also the most protective lovers from the whole zodiac once their own security and stability needs are fulfilled. They have an extra quality in love, they are highly intuitive and usually follow their gut so they are rarely wrong in their choices. They are attracted to creative and imaginative people. You can conquer the heart of Cancer if you know how to offer the support and protection they need and love them unconditionally.
They are likely to surprise everyone around them with the passionate love they are capable of, only if they come across someone that will truly awake their interest. Otherwise they are aware of their attractiveness and this leads them to a tumultuous love life, falling in and out of love. A creative, freedom lover, once decided to settle will invest all their attention in their family and they will probably have brilliant children. Some struggle, trial and error will govern parts of their love life but in the end everything will be worth it. They are most compatible with those born on the 6th, 9th, 15th, 18th, 24th and 27th.
July 21 Zodiac people are very attracted to the other water signs: Scorpio and Pisces as they tend to share the same vision of life. In life, Cancer is constantly seeking for someone who can understand their moody nature and the most suitable to offer them this is the native from Virgo. Cancer is thought to be least compatible with Aquarius. As for the rest of compatibilities between the other star signs and Cancer, you know what they say, stars predispose but people dispose.
Lucky Color: Silver is the lucky color for Cancer zodiac.
The closer grey goes to black, the mysterious and dramatic it gets. The closer it goes to white the more illuminating and pure becomes. And so is Cancer, dwelling between extremes. Silver as a power color doubles the stellar accent on those born on July 21.
Other colors preferred by people born on July 21 are violet, blue and pastels.
Representative Birthstone: The birthstone for Cancer zodiac is the delicate Pearl.
Because Cancer zodiac is the child of the moon, it is only natural that its sign stone is the exquisite Pearl, also known as the ‘teardrop of the moon’. Pearls symbolize sensitivity, purity and innocence and are said to bring clarity of mind and confidence to the wearer.
Another gemstone that is considered beneficial for people born on July 21 is the Moonstone.
Characteristic Flower: The lucky flower for Cancer zodiac is Accanthus.
Just like the Cancer, Accanthus radiates sensitivity and reveals a nurturing spirit oriented towards both people and environment. This is a precious flower, with purple and white petals oriented towards the sky.
Other flowers suggestive for Cancer are Water Lilies.
Symbolic Metal: Silver is the metal considered lucky for Cancer zodiac.
Silver is a malleable precious material known to sooth and influence Cancer towards introspection and pondering on the deeper questions of life.
Another metal thought to be lucky for people born on July 21 is Platinum.
Characteristics: July 21 Zodiac belongs to the third decan of CANCER (July 14-July 22). This decan is strongly influenced by the planet Neptune. This is representative for people who are curious and dreamy just like Cancer and ready to seize all opportunities just like Neptune. This period tempers the positive and negative characteristics of Aries zodiac sign, slightly enhancing the negative ones.
What Statistics Say: In the Gregorian Calendar, July 21 appears as the 202nd day of the year or the 203rd day in case of leap years and there are 163 days left until the end of the year. The fifty first day of summer, this is also the Racial Harmony Day as observed in Singapore.
If you were born on July 21, you may not be a troublemaker, but trouble seems to find you everywhere you go! You’ve had some bouts of bad luck that could have put you in some not-so-good situations. Rather than lay down and play victim to this lifestyle, you take trouble by the horns and ride it out! You’re known to be adventurous, daring, rebellious, and pretty cool. Don’t forget that you’re not invincible and remember to appreciate the people in your life who have had your back — even when you’re being bad to the bone!
July 21 Cancer at Their Best: Exciting, cunning, brave
July 21 Cancer at Their Worst: Manipulative, aggressive, reckless
What to Wear: Khaki shorts, patio dresses and flip-flops. This constantly comfy creature may even show up in a favorite beach cover-up or Hawaiian shirt.
What to Eat: Totally simple, homemade fair — anything from macaroni and cheese to hamburgers and hot dogs, accompanied by Mom’s secret cole slaw and potato salad as sides.
Who to Invite: If you don’t think a normal adult would want to extend invites to an eclectic group of slightly weird family members, Cancer might surprise you.
Where to Go: Home. Your house, or better yet — theirs. A party where all the guests yell “Surprise!“ would produce tears of total joy, even if it wasn’t unexpected.
JULY 21 birthday horoscope predicts that you are hypersensitive, observant and expressive. That‘s a lot of goodness rolled into one person. It doesn’t stop there. You are bestowed with intuitive and artistic qualities that can provide a particular movement within you. Different forms of art have different effects on your day-to-day life.
As the zodiac sign for July 21st is cusp of Cancer and Leo, you can be irritable when motionless. Those born on this day can be very outgoing and sociable individuals. Naturally, you are protective and have a deep concern for your loved ones.
The July 21st birthday personality characteristics predict that you love your family and your home. It is quite charming as are you, Cancer. On the other hand, you have a few weaknesses.
Those of you born under this zodiac sign can be moody, grumpy or unstable even. You stand your ground, however, when it comes to your individuality and your space. Cancer, according to the July 21st birthday, are personalities who are very inventive or creative. You have a spectacular imagination. People love you, as you are a wonderful person who is always helpful and nice.
Can we talk about your love life? The July 21 birthday love compatibility analysis says that you can be unrealistic and naive when it comes to issues of the heart. You can be overly sensitive and disappointed as you tend to expect too much.
If today July 21 is your birthday, you can do many things as an artist, but you cannot make someone love you or act the way you want them to. Despite your best efforts, you should redesign your approach to love and commitment.
As the July 21 horoscope rightly say, you are incredible, and someone would be happy to share your goals and dreams with you. Because the person born on this day has suffered disappointments before, you are likely a Crab that has trust issues.
A person desiring to make you their “Boo” should be funny, emotionally secure, and have the same values. This Cancer birthday personality is compassionate and easy to talk too. It is very likely that you will want to talk over your fantasies. You love a rainy night.
A job has never been hard for the July 21 zodiac person to find. You are well-groomed, talented, and skilled. What more could a sensible employer want than someone like you? Sometimes, you are hired based on your capabilities rather than your experience. You are innovative, and that is what most employers are looking for bright and energetic personnel.
You have discipline too except for when it comes to shopping. Those born on this birthday July 21st can shop until you drop. Mainly though, you save and prepare for the future so, this typically will not bind you if done in moderation. Sunsigns.org has information on everything under the sun including tips on how to budget and save money.
The July 21 birthday personalities typically are easy to be influenced, believe it or not. When it comes to picking up bad habits, you will! Contrary to the Crab’s nature, there are times when you do not take care of personal hygiene; basic grooming efforts go lacking and more so, your attitude toward health.
Habits likely to draw Cancer’s attention are smoking and drinking. The two go hand in hand. I am sorry Cancer, but both of those habits stink in more ways than one. It is suggested that you should use these vices in moderation. Try doing something productive and positive such as exercising. The next time you splurge, treat yourself to a spa day. This could be very relaxing and enjoyable.
The July 21 zodiac personality shows you can have negative traits such as being irritable, grumpy and obsessive. If you behave this way, you will be left all alone in this world. Otherwise, you are active at home and on the job. You desire someone to share it with someone that is sensitive to your dreams.
Occasionally, you wind up being disappointed because of your unrealistic expectations. Then you likely will go out and have a few drinks to avoid depression or stress and could form an addiction. Stick to more solutions that are positive so we can talk about everything under the sun long into retirement years. Take care of yourself you are most important.
