February 18th — afternoon, 1:32 PM, currently raining 🌧️ My aesthetic is made up of many things, and one of the main things is witchy/whimsigothic vibes! 🕸️🌙🔮 I found myself drawn to it when I was a child with ‘Sabrina the Teenage Witch’ and ‘Scooby-Doo and the Witch’s Ghost’, and it just kind of snowballed from there 🌀 Along the way, I got into other things, which grabbed my attention more, but in the past year, I’ve found my way back to this vibe 🧹🍂 My favorite witchy movies and shows are: • Charmed • Practical Magic • The Craft • Sabrina the Teenage Witch • Kiki’s Delivery Service • Hocus Pocus • Halloweentown • Good Witch • The Harry Potter movie series Based on your phone battery percentage, find out what kind of witch you are: 🌿🕯️📽️ • 100-75% — Lunar Witch 🌖 • 74-50% — Green Witch 🌲 • 49-25% — Kitchen Witch 🧹 • 24-1% — Sea Witch 🌊 I would be a Green Witch! 🫶🏽 #witchyaesthetic #whimsigoth #whimsigothic #cozyaesthetic #witchyvibe
