Energetic Opposition

Covens, groups of practitioners within Wicca and other traditions, do not engage in “energetic warfare” in the sense of a literal, physical battle. 

Instead, their practices often involve working with energy for self-protection, healing, or to influence situations in positive ways, according to Rebecca Beattie and Medium. 

This is often done through rituals, spellcasting, and connecting with the elements. 

Here’s a more detailed look: 

• Self-Protection: Covens often employ rituals and practices to protect themselves from negative energies or unwanted influences. This can involve creating a sacred space, casting protective wards, or using specific symbols and chants. 
• Healing and Restoration: Coven practices can be used to heal individuals or communities, both physically and emotionally. This might involve utilizing the power of the elements, working with herbs, or employing energy-clearing techniques. 
• Influencing Circumstances: Covens may use their knowledge of magical working to influence situations or events in a positive and constructive way. This might involve spellcasting, working with the elements, or invoking deities or spirits. 
• Positive Energy Work: Instead of “energetic warfare,” covens focus on cultivating and channeling positive energies for healing, self-protection, and influencing situations in a beneficial way, according to Rebecca Beattie and Medium.
