In this episode of Not Every Witch, we’re tackling one of the most common—and frankly, unhelpful—pieces of advice in witchcraft communities: “Just do what you want.” I’m your host, Michael Blackthorn, and today we’re breaking down why this mentality is a complete cop-out. We’ll explore why real magic requires more than vibes and vague directions, and why structure, intention, and understanding how to work with energy are essential to powerful witchcraft.

Whether you’re new to the craft or feeling lost because of this all-too-common advice, we’ll cover the importance of building a strong foundation in your practice. Tune in to learn how to ask the right questions, align your tools with your intentions, and create spells with purpose and focus—no shortcuts, just real magic.
