💀 Spirit Marriages: Witches Who Wed the Dead

“Your boyfriend might ghost you… but mine is a ghost.”

🕯️ Love Beyond the Veil

This isn’t fanfic.
This isn’t cosplay.
This is real witches entering legal or ritual marriages with the dead - and it’s been happening for centuries.

These aren’t creepy one-night séances. These are serious, long-term spiritual relationships with entities on the other side.

Why?
For love.
For loyalty.
For power.
For protection.
And sometimes… for the pure drama of it all.

🧙♀️ A Witchy Tradition Older Than Tinder

Spirit marriage isn’t just modern goth-girl chaos (though, to be fair, we stan).

It’s rooted in:

  • African Diasporic Traditions (like Vodou and Santería): marrying a deity or loa for spiritual connection

  • Celtic and Norse rituals: bonding with land spirits, ancestors, or gods

  • Shamanic cultures: forming bonds with spirit allies

  • Catholic mystics: literal "brides of Christ"

  • Modern witchcraft: marrying spirits for magical collaboration, shadow work, or ancestral healing

This isn’t new. This is eternally committed witchcraft.

💋 But Like… What Does That Mean?

A Spirit Marriage can include:

  • Ritual vows and offerings

  • Wearing a ring

  • Reserved altars or sacred spaces

  • Dreams, trances, or spirit communication

  • Actual intimacy in the astral plane (yep, it gets steamy)

  • Spiritual contracts for power exchange, emotional support, or magical gifts

One witch might marry a soldier who died in war, another a spirit guide, another? A god of chaos who just gets her.

Real-Life Example? Oh, We Got Stories:

  • A French woman married the ghost of a pirate named Jack. The marriage was official - until they divorced because he was "draining her energy."

  • A UK woman married the spirit of a 300-year-old soldier and claimed the sex was better than any living man.

  • Witches on TikTok openly share their spirit partners - offering them wine, roses, and spellwork in exchange for companionship, visions, or even money blessings.

Babe, the astral plane is busy.

🔥 Why Do It?

  • Protection: spirits defend their witch like a shadow with claws

  • Magical Enhancement: married spirits assist in spellwork, divination, and dreams

  • Healing: bonding with an ancestor or spirit can help resolve past-life or bloodline trauma

  • Power: Some spirits bring serious influence - especially gods, demons, or old souls

  • Love: Because maybe you’ve tried men. You’ve tried women. And now… you’re ready to try transdimensional.

🧼 Naturally Wicked Witch Tip:

If you’re calling something into your life - make sure you’re ready for it to stay.
Spirit marriages are binding.
Spirit lovers don’t ghost you.
They haunt.
