I’m reading a book called ‘What Type of Witch Are You?’ By Julie Wilder. Once I’m done with it, I’ll come back and give you all a book review. I did find two blogs that have great blog posts about the types of witches. I’ll also link below a few witch quizzes you can take to see what type of witch you are. I tested them all out and they’ve been pretty spot on for me.
