10+ Celebrities Who Actually Practiced Witchcraft

Celebs have a lot more in common with spells, full moons, and black cats than you'd think.

That's because some celebs have quite a passion for the dark arts. No, not Harry Potter — witchcraft!

Far more celebs than you'd even imagine have dabbled in the subject. Here are just 10+ of them who actually practiced witchcraft.

Azealia Banks

After three years of studying “Brujeria," which means witchcraft in Spanish, the rapper took to Instagram to share some disturbing videos.

It was what appeared to be bloodstained walls while she said, “real witches do real things."

Björk

The singer has quite the passion for witchery as her Icelandic gothic punk band, Kukl, translates to “Witchcraft.”

She has also been featured in The Brothers Grimm movie The Juniper Tree, where she portrayed a witch's daughter.

Lorde

Lorde sensed her magical abilities while listening to David Bowie's "The Space Oddity."

She has been drawn to ghosts, spirits, and other supernatural beings her entire life. Although she has not formally practiced, Lorde believes that she's “basically a witch.”

Sam Smith

When Sam was on their spiritual journey for love, they visited healers at the shop Spellbound Sky.

Believing that magic would cure their hopeless love life, they ended up spending a chunk of change on all sorts of crystals and even a love potion.

Beyoncé

The singer has been accused of being a witch by her former drummer, Kimberly Thompson. They said that Knowles had cast “magic spells of expletive."

A restraining order was even filed against Beyoncé but was quickly denied. Sounds like a crazy “ex” band member to us.

Heather Graham

Heather practices witchcraft with her group of friends called “The Goddesses."

“We burn things — honoring the elements of earth, wind, air and fire. You do spells," she has admitted. She even said that she did a spell to get Barack Obama elected.

Carlton Gebbia

The Real Housewives personality is open about being a practicing Wiccan and raising children with her beliefs and Halloween rituals.

She enjoys being a sole practitioner as opposed to joining a coven, which is a secret association of witches.

Kate Bush

The influential '80s singer may have inspired many on this list with her occult music.

This includes the songs “Waking the Witch” and “Hello Earth." This has given some fans the impression that Kate had a deeper connection to the subject.

Fiona Horne

The musician became a best-selling author with her books on modern witchcraft.

The Art of Witch and Witch: A Magical Year are just two of her witchcraft books. Her childhood imagination has been the guide for her love of the subject, as she explained to Booktopias.

Kesha

The singer decided it was time to pick up a ghost detector after she had encounters with the paranormal world.

If worried of a curse, she's even willing to have an exorcism performed on her.

Cybill Shepherd

“A Christian Pagan Buddhist Goddess worshiper” is what Cybill calls herself.

She has expressed that the unnatural order of deaths in her family has been connected to their lack of worship.

The occult lifestyle has us raise an eyebrow to what her beliefs are.

Stevie Nicks

She's another singer on this list who loves to use witchcraft as inspiration for her music.

Ever since the release of her Fleetwood Mac song “Rhiannon,” many have speculated about her relation to the dark arts as she dressed as a medieval witch during a performance.

Gisele Bündchen

The model has some unusual pre-game rituals for her husband, Tom Brady.

"I have these little special stones and healing stones and protection stones and she has me wear a necklace and take these drops she makes and say all these mantras," Brady told CBS Sports.

Rachel True

The actress and former model has been reading tarot cards for decades.

These days, she's still going strong with the practice. She even became a professional Intuitive Tarot Reader and wrote her own book called True Heart Intuitive Tarot.

Sully Erna

The lead singer of Godsmack has long communicated his passion for the Wicca faith and voodoo.

He has long been attending ceremonies and dark rituals. He's showcased them in music videos like “Voodoo" since he fully believes that he is a male witch.

Chelsea Wolf

This gothic folk singer has embraced her inner witch.

In the past, she has said that "witchcraft helped me find myself."

This has given her serenity in what she calls her “shadow work." Do you, girlfriend!

David Bowie

The oddity himself, Bowie’s magical interviews set the tone for many celebrities and their desire for witchcraft.

The otherworldly man went as far as having a "white witch" exorcise his entire home during his “White Duke” phase.

Princess Nokia

The rapper has had a heavy influence in witchcraft after learning about it from her father.

“Good witches” and “light magic” are some of the catch words we hear throughout the rapper's lyrics. She also strongly believes in voodoo and mediumship.

Lana Del Rey

Like many celebs, Lana had some thoughts on Donald Trump. As such, the singer took to her fans to help cast a spell on him.

While providing the technique, ingredients, and time, she believed the powers would “relieve” stress from the world.

Ariana Grande

Not only does Ariana practice elements of witchcraft, but she also fancies herself as a real-life Ghostbuster.

She, along with a team of experts, have gone on several ghost hunting expeditions. Ariana also claims to have confronted a demon head-on.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen

The Olsen twins by their own admission are crazy about sage. Everywhere they go, they are constantly burning sage to cleanse the air of negativity and evil spirits.

They also practice crystal healing as well.

Katy Perry

Katy participated in the Salem Witch Walk back in 2014. She received a heavy amount of backlash from the Catholic church after she attempted to purchase an abandoned convent.

The pop singer was taken to court, but ultimately the judge ruled in her favor.

Evan Rachel Wood

Evan and Ariana have a lot in common: they're both amateur demon hunters. When she's traveling, Evan keeps her demon cleansing kit with her at all times.

Her two most preferred tools are sage and a crystal known as Tiger's Eye.

Led Zeppelin was the epitome of sex, drugs, and rock n' roll. Legendary guitarist Jimmy Page was not only a satanist, but he is rumored to have sold his soul to the Devil himself.

This was a common trope among rock stars, especially heavy metal artists.

Spencer Pratt

Spencer Pratt has his own store called Pratt Daddy that sells a variety of different healing crystals.

The former star of The Hills has been fascinated with the occult for decades, and claims to have spent thousands of dollars on what he refers to as a Wizard Coach.

Sammy had a short-lived fascination with satanism. He became a follower and joined the church for a period of time.

Davis is said to have left the church after their parties began to go sideways.

FKA Twigs

FKA Twigs has made her career off of subverting the norm and defying expectations.

She's been accused of having occult associations and is even said to have put an entire audience into a trance-like state during one of her concerts.

Fairuza Balk

Fairuza Balk is quick to dispel any rumors of the Wicca association, but that doesn't change the fact that she bought an old occult bookstore to save it from going out of business.

Her social media is also plastered with mystic symbolism.

Dave Mustaine

Dave Mustaine was the former guitarist of Metallica. He left the band and went on to found Megadeth.

These days, Dave refuses to play certain Megadeth songs because he claims that the lyrics are actually black magic incantations. And while he approved of them at one point, he no longer feels the same way.

Gerard Way

Gerard Way is the frontman and lead singer for the band My Chemical Romance. He's also the author and creator behind the incredibly popular comic book-turned-Netflix series, The Umbrella Academy.

Gerard is said to have gotten magic lessons from none other than comic book legend Grant Morrison.

Grimes has been associated with the occult and witchcraft since she first burst onto the scene.

Her style of music has even been labeled Witch House, an occult-driven offshoot of House and EDM that emphasizes incredibly dark tones and visual aesthetics.

Jennifer Lopez

Have you ever wondered how J-Lo has been so successful over the years? Many point the finger at her Santeria-practicing grandmother who lived in Miami.

Santeria is an occult religion that developed in Cuba, akin to Voodoo. Apparently, Lopez participated as a child.
