Sea witches are so interesting. They emit very loving and calm vibes. But also a very intense “calm before the storm” vibe. These individuals often work their magic on the sea shore or near the sea. Some who don’t live near the sea, works with close bodies of water.
This list is certainly not all you need to know, but I wrote as much as I could. You also don’t have research all of these either, they’re just suggestions! :)
Enjoy!

how to be a sea witch when you’re not near the sea
Swim. If you, like me, are lucky enough to live by the sea, swim in it. All year round. Get used to the cold. If you are landlocked, find a local pool.
Practice swimming with your legs together, like a mermaid. Even better if you can afford a monofin. And even better if your local pool allows it.
Use sites like Noises Online to listen to waves crashing or water running, close your eyes and let yourself be entranced by the rhythm.
Brush your hair once you leave the sea and shower after leaving the pool. Trust me.
Buy a boss-ass swimsuit that makes you feel amazing both in and out of the water.
Light candles that smell like the seaside while you bathe.
Get a fish tank. Put some fish in there. You have new friends,, take care of them. (Do your research before buying fish!! Make sure the tank is big enough and has what they need.)
Walk with your head high and your shoulders back, as if the waves are carrying you to your destination. You are the crashing of storms on the coast, and the softness of calm shores on a sunny day.

So, I grew up on an island, which means I grew up with a little bit of beach lore that I realized, recently, might not be widespread information, especially inland. So, just in case, anyone is unaware, I wanted to share with you about these:
(photos by me)
These are called wishing stones, where I’m from. A dark stone with an unbroken, naturally occurring white ring around it, not too hard to find on most rocky beaches. What you’re supposed to do is toss it into the water as you make a wish — but I’m sure sea witch tumblr can think of a lot more creative uses for them ;)
That’s all. Just wanted to share a bit of local (or not so local, again, I’m not sure whether other places pass this lore on too), super simple sea witchery that anyone can partake in. Enjoy!
classic southern go to recipe - if you’ve never had it but enjoy shrimp and acidity i highly recommend giving it a try! it’s like southern ceviche. if you’re vegan and omit the shrimp it’s still a very tasty marinated veg! i’m sure tofu would taste just fine as a replacement, too. serve on toasted rye.
½ Fennel Bulb(grounding, protection, courage, awareness) ½Onion(prosperity, stability, protection, healing) 2 cloves Garlic (protection, healing, warding) ½ Fresno ChileorRed Jalapeño (love, warding, cleansing, protection) ½ cup fresh Lemon Juice (warding, purifying, cleansing, healing) ¼ cup Apple Cider Vinegar (protection, cleansing, banishment) ¼ cup Olive Oil (healing, peace, protection) 1 pound Shrimp(protection, strength, abundance) or ½ pound extra firm Tofu (fortune, protection, love, manifestation)
