Welcome!
About the Witching Hour Webring
I know so many witches who worry about sharing their practices on social media because of a history of backlash, hateful commentary, and other bullshit (looking at you, Tumblr!). Between that and the enshittification of so many big platforms and social media sites, there's more need than ever for small-web communities. But how do you find those websites??? Search engines are no help anymore, so it seems impossible to find good indie websites made by actual witches!
Enter this webring! Witches of all flavors and paths are welcome to join us. If you're an adult witch with a website that's got at least a little witchcraft on it, read on to learn about joining. Let's all hold hands and link our sites to create that old-school feel of surfing the web and discovering new websites organically.
The manager of this webring is me, Aese of Spades! Hello! I have the time, energy, and attention span to put this together and keep it running, so I've decided to go ahead and do it. I'm very much inspired by the witchcraft websites of yore and the webrings that connected them together - I wouldn't be a witch today without them! My goal is to give that same experience to others... real resources, real discussions, real spells, real witches. No bullshit.
This webring was created in March 2026 using petrapixel's wonderful Webringu script! Massive thanks to Petra for all of her resources.
Webring Guidelines
We have a couple of rules for being part of this webring:
- The site must be a handmade website on the "small web" - Neocities, Nekoweb, Bearblog, Mastodon instances, a domain you own/host yourself, etc. No social media sites (Tumblr, Bluesky, etc.), Medium blogs, etc. No GenAI use, either; template-based layouts are perfectly fine.
- Sites must be at least partly related to witchcraft. This means personal writings about your craft, witchcraft book reviews, collections of resource links, whatever; it doesn't have to be the whole site, but it's gotta be more than "personal and totally unrelated website of someone who happens to be a witch"! This includes history, spells, correspondences/materials, divination, spirit work... if it means witchcraft to you, it counts.
- Your site should be more than a shop or advertisement. Sharing commission/Patreon/Ko-Fi links and/or shop listings somewhere on your site is perfectly fine (please do!), but your site should be more than a storefront or ad for a storefront.
- Sites must be have at least a basic homepage and one "complete" subpage, OR a moderately "complete"/full single-page website that's intended to be one page. Basically, there should be something to actually read on your site! This could be as simple as a basic homepage and an "about my practice" page, though! (This rule is to prevent having a bunch of empty websites in the rotation - no one would want to surf our webring if there's nothing to read!)
- No bigotry of any flavor, including racism, antisemitism, appropriation, queerphobia, fatphobia, ableism etc. This includes espousing racist and/or ableist concepts (starseeds/indigo children, magical white people building the pyramids, lizard people in the government, and so forth).
- No encouragement of dangerous practices or spreading misinformation, such as promoting unsafe fire habits, ingesting toxic materials, stalking/harassment, conspiracy theories, parroting incorrect history as fact, etc. (This does not forbid hexing/cursing, which is both fun and cool.)
- No plagiarism. Sources should be cited when possible. (Resource link collections are okay if stuff is credited appropriately!)
You do not have to:
- Censor yourself. Swears, mature content, and the like are fine. Join and/or surf at your own risk and discretion.
- Pay for a domain. Subdomains (yourname.domain.com) are more than welcome.
- Be an expert coder. Beginners, template layouts, and unrefined appearances are more than welcome. It's the content that matters!
- Be a Neocities subscriber. You're not running any external JavaScript code, so free accounts will work fine.
- Make constant updates. Just share what you care about whenever you have time.
- Be an expert witch. Novices and intermediate witches are welcome.
- Only have witchcraft content. You can have whatever else you want on your site - it's your site, after all.
