What is Trad Witchcraft?
Trad Witchcraft is a loose family of Trads (or groups, denominations, or covens) in Traditionalist British Witchcraft. It is the modern day version of what use to be called The Old Craft and which was known by many other regional and local names. It is the old magical spirituality of the British Isles, the Old Ways that use to be part of the religions that were popular before the arrival of Dark Ages in Britain. We have a belief system and perhaps the highest commonly-held belief is that of the inherent sanctity and supremacy of Nature above all else. We believe that the Divine (or God) and Nature are the same thing. In that manner we are pantheists. Thus we believe that the divine is everywhere. Note that while The Traditional Craft is sometimes referred to as Traditional Witchcraft, academics will point out that their use of the term “traditional witchcraft” applies to the traditional witchcraft of all societies and cultures worldwide, and not just that of the British Isles.
