TWF you have a very magical ability. you can use logic to turn any bullshit thread into a dead horse. I am in envy of your power.
isnt âwitchâ unisex. does it really matter what you call yourself. your a practitioner of the occult, a walker between worlds. you are the puppeteer of reality. so whats in a name?
Itâs a gift.
I see this question come up a lot and it always boggles my mind, I mean does your title somehow dictate ability? Can sorcerer do something a magician canât do? To me itâs like saying youâre a bank teller or a fry cook, neither of these terms define you or what youâre capable of so why worry about it?
Personally, I just like to have names for my arts because it helps me to better categorize and make sense of them internally. If I can say, Oh, this is Necromancy⌠or⌠This is witchcraft⌠or, WHATEVER. I use labels because otherwise not having that label/semblance of order stresses me out. Which is really stupid since everything is connected to each other in some way and areoften mixed. But hey, itâs my fucking freakshow.
I understand that, categorizing or compartmentalizing different practices is one thing but saying you must call yourself a sorceror OR a necromancer OR a diviner OR whatever is what gets me.

Itâs just good old fashioned sexism. That which is associated with women is seen as inferior. To be fair this is seen a lot less in magick circles due to the numerous powerful spirits depicted as women, but thatâs the root cause.
If itâs good enough for the witch-king of angmar, lord of the nazgul, itâs good enough for me.
