About Our 1 Authoritative Founder: Bran Alder
A Lifelong Calling
Our 1 Authoritative Founder: I am Bran Alder, and my journey into the occult arts is not merely a profession but rather a lifelong calling that began when I was 14, turned in pro in ’07. 19 years deep. As a child, I was driven by an insatiable curiosity and an innate connection to the unseen realms around me. While that early exploration laid the essential foundation for my understanding, my professional path of serving the public and diligently honing my craft truly began in earnest in 2007.
Our Essence
At SCG Witchery, we artfully blend the practices of modern witchcraft with the enchanting aesthetics of dark academia, creating a mystical space that is rich in metaphysical luxury and allure. Founded by our 1 Authoritative Founder, Bran Alder, SCG Witchery was established with a clear and urgent purpose: to bring integrity, authenticity, and safety to the ever-evolving online occult community. This vital mission was born from direct, real-world experiences with the myriad challenges and risks present in today’s complex spiritual marketplace. Out of those defining experiences emerged a new vision—one dedicated to serving and protecting our cherished community through knowledge-sharing, support, and empowerment.
Our Promise
SCG Witchery was established on three core principles by Bran Alder About Our 1 Authoritative Founder.
Authentication: To combat fraud, we established a robust spellcaster authentication service. This creates a standard of verification to help seekers connect with credible practitioners.
Education: True empowerment comes from knowledge and understanding. Our 1 Authoritative Founder developed comprehensive courses in witchcraft and tarot, meticulously designed to equip students with the skills, ethics, and deep understanding needed to build a genuine and powerful practice of their own.
Provision: A successful practice requires reliable tools. We offer high-quality supplies and custom-blended items to support the work of serious practitioners.
SCG Witchery is the culmination of a lifelong practice, refined through professional experience into a comprehensive resource for the entire community.
A Foundation of Professional Experience
This extensive professional work, spanning more than 19 years of dedication and passion, is best understood when viewed through the lens of two distinct phases:
- Period 1 (2007 – April 2024): Over these seventeen years, I provided guidance and spellwork to 2,703 clients, achieving a success rate of 81.06%. This long-standing track record built a reputation grounded in dedication, skill, and delivering tangible results.
- Period 2 (April 2024 – May 2025): In this more recent phase, my methods became even more refined. Working with 422 clients, my success rate increased significantly to 93.84%, reflecting a deeper and more focused approach to my craft.
The Catalyst for a New Path
The dividing line between these two significant periods was marked by a pivotal series of events that unfolded in April 2024. After publicly announcing my sabbatical to dedicate time and energy toward creating a comprehensive system aimed at verifying practitioners, I found myself subjected to a calculated campaign of sabotage that was designed explicitly to tarnish and destroy my reputation.
This coordinated effort sought to undermine the very integrity of my work just as I transitioned toward establishing higher industry standards.
This arduous experience served as a profound lesson, exposing the stark vulnerability faced by both practitioners and clients alike in an unregulated online space rife with misinformation. The hostility I encountered during this transition highlighted the desperate need for the verification frameworks I was developing, as the lack of accountability in digital circles allowed bad actors to operate with impunity.
Ultimately, this period of conflict acted as a catalyst, transforming a planned hiatus into a defensive struggle that solidified my resolve to protect the authenticity of the craft against those who thrive on deception and character assassination.
It became undeniably clear that my true calling was no longer just to practice the craft, but rather to actively protect and preserve it. This defining moment in my journey led me to found SCG Witchery, a business dedicated entirely to that vital purpose of safeguarding the integrity of our community.
