When spooky season sets in, so does that familiar feeling we used to have growing up. You know the one: you watch Teen Witch or Hocus Pocus [1] and wish you had magical powers too, or at least some special intuition that would set you apart from the rest. While we still wait for those powers to set in, did you know you can still get your witchy fix on TikTok?
#WitchTok is a hashtag where you can find tons of videos from practicing witches [2] and witch enthusiasts alike. Just don't assume it's full of stereotypes like pointy hats and broomsticks, because it's actually a lot more spiritual. For instance, one TikTok user informs witches on how to be respectful at cemeteries, and another video teaches you how to make homemade potions and seal them in jars. This entire subgenre on TikTok is proof you should channel your inner witch not only around Halloween [3], but all year round. Keep reading for some great #WitchTok videos that you'll want to bookmark for later (and yes, there's a love potion!).
