Tips for my closeted witches <3

-Pick up gardening or cooking so you have an excuse to buy/grow herbs/plants

-Do your big spells at night, so no one will intrude & the power of the moon will be the highest than too

-For making moon water just stick a glass of water on your window sill for a couple hours, it doesn’t need to be overnight

-Use symbolism & substitution, such as symbols that represent any deities your work with (if you work with them) this way you can represent them subtly

-Wear a black shirt for protection (use color magic for clothes or make up)

-Make paper book covers to cover your witchcraft books, put them behind other books, or place them with your school work

-Take advantage of windy days and use wind to cleanse

-Practice candle magick

-Research energy work

-Practice ring magick

-Work with essential oils

-Use pdf books and change the name of the file

-Start a crystal collection because they’re pretty

-Start a candle collection because they smell nice

-When making sigils, write them in moon water or in invisible ink so your parents won’t see them

-Store pressed dried herbs in books

-If you play an instrument you can turn spells into songs or melodies

-Use regular cards instead of a tarot deck for cartomancy (in the link down below is our discord server where you will be able to find how to use and play cartomancy), you can also make your own tarot!

-Use showers to cleanse yourself with water and visualization

-Create a cleansing spray and disguise it as an air freshener

-Make a travel alter in an altoids can or make an altar on a board/baking tray and store it under your bed

-Turn your room into an altar, a plant could represent earth in the north corner, a fan or incense burner in the east for air, a dragons statue south for fire and a fountain for water in the west (you can choose what represents each element, this is an example)

-You can also make your altar in a shoebox

-make a digital altar (a dedicated tumblr blog, pinterest board, moodboard, a crafted temple in a building game, etc)

-dedicate meals to them before you eat it, art, music, writing, etc

-Say your grimoire/bos is a book of story ideas or info for a game of dnd

-make digital grimoires/bos in notion or google drive

-Art magick!!

-Sigils as fancy doodles or a language for a fantasy setting

-Trace sigils in your food, in the shower, while applying skin care, in your notebooks, digitally on pictures in your phone, draw a sigil on your nails before painting them with nail polish

-Drinking tea and you’re bad at drawing sigils at the bottom with honey? Don’t like the taste of honey but want to incorporate sigils on your tea) use washable markers on your mugs, you can also use color intent

-enchant your jewelry, masks, clothes, etc

-Pass your pendulum as jewelry

-Make your own incense with kitchen spices/herbs

-If you need to get rid of the smell of incense or perfume or burnt herbs, you can make a solution of 50% water and 50% white vinegar in a spray bottle, also keeping a wet wipe or mini towel next to you can absorb some of the odor

-Hide stuff in plain sight and say they’re decorations (crystals, shells, feathers, etc)

-Spend time on nature so you can connect to the Earth

-If you want to have chalices, you can try to find a cup that you can pass off as drinking cup you keep in your room, if this isn’t possible, than even something as small as a thimble can work

-containers you can use, little pots of lip balm when it runs out, container ||sharpeners||, the containers of camera fills, use old makeup containers, sweet containers, lead containers (pencils, compasses, etc.), medicine containers, etc

-take advantage of being home alone!!!!

-candle wax can be replaced with glue (if you want it with color respondence you can put colorant in it) or melted crayons

Do you think I should believe in my intuition about that subject or I need to stop day dreaming .

34 was here

intuition. intuition. intuition. intuition.intuition. intuition. intuition.intuition. innnntuuuuiiiiitttioooonnnn.

~ I feel like if there’s one thing I’m always telling people it’s “follow your intuition” or “ask your spirit guides” or “stick with your gut instinct. your first thought.” I seriously say at least one of those things in every reading I post so IDK why this is even a question at this point?

why the fuck would you doubt your intuition? why the fuck would you trust anything other than your gut instinct? why? 

are you not a living breathing organism on this planet? were you not created from the cosmos? are you not made of stardust? are you not divinely guided and protected at all times doing all things in all places???

~ Whenever you’re daydreaming, your literally just astral traveling to an alternate reality, and anything you do in that reality will ripple out into this current one (especially now that you’re aware of it) so if I were you I’d play around with it. Try to make a game of seeing what you can do in other realities to bring cool shit into your present one. 

Pay attention to what you’re doing in these worlds and how it makes you feel. Remember that you are in complete control and take accountability for your actions. Things manifest faster if your energy is light and you’re laughing a lot on a daily basis in this reality.

You can literally use your daydreams to bring anything you desire into your current reality by keeping your energy light and matching the vibration of the thing you’re trying to bring to you. For example: When I was raped by my friend it wasn’t a particularly easy thing for me to get over at first for a number of reasons, no matter how much therapy I went to or progress I made, it always felt like there was something holding me back. Until like last month, when I had this idea to visit the alternate realities where we stayed friends or started dating and change my present reality by ending things with this person in those ones. 

It may sound kind of far-fetched at first, and there are other ways a psychologist would explain this to you, but I immediately felt a weight lift off my shoulders because when my subconscious released the expectation that “things are working out with them in that other world and that’s why you’re happy there so you can’t be happy here because things got kind of iffy and now you don’t talk anymore.” and I chose to address, acknowledge, and then change the narrative to “things were good with them for a while but then I moved onto better things in that other world and it is safe for me to do that in this one as well” it was like a switch flipped in my brain. Years of trauma fell away and I haven’t had a flashback, nightmare, or intrusive thought about it since.

omg this answer is getting too long lmao. I should probably just make a whole post on how to heal trauma and manifest different things in your life through daydreams lol. let me know if you have any specific questions you’d like me to answer in that...

I’m feeling called to pull a card for advice from your guides so... 

The Tower, 7 of Cups - I literally cannot make this shit up. You’re on the right track with the daydreaming thing, but something about your current daydreams needs to change. It feels like your focus is more superficially based than spiritually based? 

Lots of times when I’m helping my clients/students manifest romantic relationships, I like to spend an extra amount of time with them reviewing the foundations of their desires and releasing any/all expectations. 

When you’re focused on the physical traits and qualities of a person (or anything) you’re trying to bring into your life, you’re trying to manifest them/it with your ego. But when you focus on the vibration of love they/it brings into your already full life, and you find ways to make your current life a hospitable environment for this new thing, that’s when the real magic happens. 

So it’s a good idea for you to sit in lotus pose or criss-cross-apple-sauce, and really meditate on why you want what you want. Is this desire stemming from a place of lack or a place of love?

n e ways... idek if that answered your question but someone clearly needed to hear all of this because I couldn’t stop typing lmao
