What is a Sea Witch?

A Sea Witch, is any Witch who lives in a small coastal village and practices Sea Magic. Few Witches ever strive to become a Sea Witch due to it being a type of Grey Witch, and thus requiring knowledge in and the ability to perform Black Magic in addition to White Magic.

Sea Witches tend to be wilder by nature than your average modern day Witch, with long wind swept hair, and flowing salt water beaten clothen. They believe the strength of their powers come from purification by the ocean itself and thus typically bath in the ocean giving them a salty seaweed scent to their skin, hair, and cloths.

Sea Witches typically use old fashioned, highly superstitious-styles of “scary” witchcraft: Familiars (Black Cats, Water Faeries, etc), Effigy Magic (Voodoo Dolls, Wangas, & Poppets), Hexes (Rune symbols drawn in sand or painted on walls), and other forms of “classic witchcraft”.

Sea Witches are rarely “true Pagans”, and are often former Christians who turned to witchcraft after being outcast by their local community. They are considered Christian by other Witches, but Pagan by other Christians, leading to them being known as Christo-Pagans.

Sea Witchery is considered to be a highly advanced, very difficult, and extraordinarily powerful form of witchcraft, requiring many years of practice in other forms of witchcraft first. As a result it is rare to find a young Sea Witch.

Also known as Hags or Sea Hags, Sea Witches tend to be older Witches, often Crones, and usually Solitaries living a near hermit-like lifestyle. They are what the average non-witch thinks of when they think of witches, hags, or Halloween. It is commonly said by White Witches, Wiccans, and Pagans, that Sea Witches give the rest of the Witch community a bad name, by embodying everything that they try to avoid.
