The eclectic path has deep, deeeeeep roots. Even Gerald Gardner pulled from ceremonial magic and folklore along with Eastern traditions when shaping modern Wicca. I make my practice my own by blending what resonates and leaving the rest behind. My energy flows stronger because of it. I would take a moment to read two more recent threads which I think could _really_ help your understanding here: > [@Which Witch Type Are You?

Have you ever felt like the word witch already belonged to you before you ever did anything about it? Maybe it was a pull toward the moon you couldn’t explain. A drawer of collected stones and feathers. A feeling, reading about the craft late at night, of coming home rather than discovering something new. If that’s you, welcome. This post is the one I wish someone had handed me at the very beginning: … Your path is yours alone. If something feels right, trust it. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.witchesgrimoire.org/t/learning-to-be-an-eclectic-witch/91)._
