will-o-the-witch:

Other people can certainly help you become a witch, providing advice or clarification, but they don’t seal the deal. They don’t mark the line between a craft you deem worthy and satisfying and one you do not.

At the end of the day, you are your own witch, not an extension of someone else’s craft. You have your own senses and reasoning; no witch is going to be better at making judgement calls about your craft. YOU decide if a spell is “good” enough to do. YOU decide if the spell was successful. YOU decide if that event was a strange coincidence, or something more.

There won’t always be someone there to validate you every step of the way. You’re smarter and more intuitive than you think. Trust your gut. Trust yourself to be right. Nobody else can do that for you.
