Do I choose an Element?

Hello!

So, I have been practicing paganism since 2011, so around 5 years now, and I was never clear on something. Do I have to start off as a water witch, a green witch,etc.? or do I just practice?

I apologize profusely, I should know this stuff by now, and I know I shouldn't have to ask questions like this.

You don't need to start off as anything, you can simply practice what you want to practice.

Elements have not much to do with magick and most forms of the craft have nothing to do with an element, like kitchen witch or fae witch.

Most people start off as eclectic and move onto more specific areas, some do it the other way round, it all depends on what you feel most comfortable doing.

thank you very much :)
I guess I still need to keep practicing to find my niche

Choosing an element is difficult. A lot of people meditate to try to find it, or so I've heard. Check the articles on this site, I'm sure you'll find one or two that might be useful. :)

The elements have a lot to do with 'magick' and there is not a single form of the craft that has nothing to do with the elements.

I have never "chose" an element, and I have been practicing witchcraft for two years. There is no need to. If you want to work with elements, it is best to work with all of them and keep a balanced relationship with them. Of course you may have an affinity to one, but that doesn't mean it is "your" element.

Find something that interests you, study it and start practicing. You don't have to start out doing elemental type magic or anything like that, you just need to start somewhere.

Nope, i never chose an Element
If anything im a fire Element
Given the fact that i can fly off the handle extremely very fast.
