witchcraft 101: veiling!

today we’re gonna be discussing veiling. veiling is the act of covering your hair/head either partially or fully. this could be anything from wearing a bandana to wearing a full coverage headscarf.

there are many reasons why a pagan or witch may participate in veiling, here are a few:

as a reminder of a connection with a deity (usually deities such as hestia but it can be any deity)

as an offering or devotional act to a deity

as a reminder of what is above us

to cover or protect the crown chakra

to help with grounding

for shielding (this is often used by empaths)

to focus power or focus the mind

to signify adulthood/womanhood (!! this does not mean that men or nonbinary people can’t veil!! i’m nonbinary and i veil a lot)

as a practise of modesty

because it brings comfort to a person

in old traditions, a witches hair is said to be a measure of their power so people cover their hair in order to protect it

often people veil during rituals as it helps them get in the right mindset

i hope you guys found this helpful!! if you know of any other reasons to veil let me know but these are probably the most common ones used.

✨Protection from toxic family member(s)✨

Unfortunately, sometimes we can’t avoid certain family members at social events. Especially with the holiday season approaching. Luckily, there are ways to protect yourself and your energy when they try to bring you down. Here’s a few things I do to protect myself. All of these are discreet and don’t scream to your family that you’re a witch.

Wear enchanted jewelry 💍

What you need

- your favorite piece of jewelry or something you wear daily

- whatever you like to use to cleanse

- a quiet space

What to do

1. Cleanse the piece(s) of jewelry you would like to enchant.

2. Take as much time as you need to meditate with your jewelry and set your intentions to protect.

3. When you feel ready wear your jewelry!

4. After the social event remember to cleanse your jewelry again to remove any negative energy it may have picked up!

5. Optional: Rub the jewelry in essential oil correlating to your intentions. For protection I recommend Lavender, Peppermint or Orange.

Protection Satchel 💫

What you need

- a satchel or pouch deep enough to hold everything

- rosemary, peppermint and lavender (however much you want to use of each)

- amethyst

- piece of paper

What to do

1. Take a moment to hold the pouch, concentrate and think of your intentions. You may also do this with each ingredient if you so choose. 

2. Keeping your intentions in mind, add rosemary, lavender, peppermint, and your amethyst to the pouch. As you add each ingredient, repeat the phrase “I am protected from all harm that comes my way.” 

3. Once ingredients are all added, take the piece of paper and write either an affirmation or a sigil for protection. Fold this piece of paper as many times as you feel needed. Hold this piece of paper for a second and think of your intentions once more. Then drop it in the pouch. 

4. Finally, once the pouch is made, place this somewhere you can keep close throughout the day i.e. a purse, a bag or your pocket. 

Wear a Sigil ✨

Wearing a sigil doesn’t need to be obvious. This is something you can wear while keeping it discreet. There are a few different ways to wear one. You can draw one somewhere on your body using marker, or draw one inside your wrist using a perfume roller, or even with your daily moisturizer. The most important thing is ensuring you charge it before wiping it away. You may also opt for just using a piece of paper and keeping it in your pocket.

Do you think its better to raise a cat from being a kitten or is it better to adopt a fully grown cat?

I think it entirely depends on the situation! While it’s nice to have a cat from kitten, I also believe older cats need love too!
