About

Witchcore is an aesthetic shaped by modern witchcraft, occultism and themes of women's empowerment. It gained substantial visibility on TikTok during 2021–2023 alongside the broader spirituality-and-tarot wave. The visual world includes herbal apothecary jars, dried flowers, crystals, pentagrams, cauldrons, candles, taxidermy and grimoire books. Wardrobe-wise the aesthetic centres on velvet, lace, bell-sleeved blouses, long flowing skirts, capes and cloaks (especially black), wide-brim witch hats, layered crystal jewellery (silver, with stones), pentacle and moon motifs. The colour palette is dominated by black with deep purple, green, blue and burgundy, plus gold and silver as metallic accents.

Not Whimsigoth — Witchcore is more occult-symbol-heavy and explicitly witchcraft-themed; Whimsigoth is broader 70s-90s witchy mysticism.
