A witch, in her words, isn't a Halloween costume — it's a healer who never got the MD. Lindy runs the Witch Depot in Kenner, Louisiana, and she claims the title without flinching. She grew up Southern Baptist in a small Mississippi town, moved to New Orleans in her twenties, and found Wicca waiting on the other side. Not all Wiccans are witches, she explains — paganism is an umbrella just like Christianity, with Wicca as one room under it. The line that actually separates a Wiccan from a witch isn't faith at all. It's practice. The moment you start manipulating energy, you've crossed it. Know thyself. Balance your energy.
Takeaways
- Lindy defines a witch as a healing-arts practitioner — herbs and energy work standing in where modern medicine leaves gaps.
- She grew up Southern Baptist in rural Mississippi and only found her path after moving to the New Orleans area in her early twenties.
- The Witch Depot name almost got softened for public comfort — she chose to claim it outright instead.
- Paganism functions as an umbrella term, like Christianity holding Catholic, Baptist, and Methodist underneath it — Wicca is one subset, not the whole.
- Not all Wiccans are witches. Practicing magic — intentionally manipulating energy — is what actually crosses someone into the "witch" category.
